The Maori division of time
by Best, Elsdon
It is an enduring tribute to the work of the late Elsdon Best (1856–1931) that there is a continuing demand for his many published works on Maori life and custom. He was indeed the one writer among 19th century students who made a systematic attempt to cover the whole field, and his intimate knowledge enabled him to achieve a great measure of success. Includes chapters on the Maori year, months of the Maori year, nights of the moon, names of seasons and terms employed to denote time.
