a very remarkable mat is possessed by a powerful chief named paratene maioha. It is made of strips of dogs' fur sewed over a large flaxen mat. A portrait of this celebrated chief is given in the illustration no. 1, on the 820th page, partly to show the aspect of a maori chief in time of peace, and partly to give the reader an idea of the peculiar look of the war cloak. Date: 1871.
