Time is ever bringing changes, and it is not, therefore, surprising that before completing a volume of over 1500 pages—which deals largely with biography—there should be many deaths and numerous alterations in official and business circles to chronicle. The compilers of the Cyclopedia of New Zealand have, therefore, decided to add this section, with a view of bringing the first issue of Volume I., as far as possible, up to date, at any rate, at the time of issue. For their guidance in future editions of this volume, the proprietors will be grateful to any person for information that will enable them to correct any omissions or inaccuracies that are already patent. It is manifestly impossible to mention all the changes that have come about since the earlier portion of the work was put in print, but the alterations in the Government, brought about by various causes, and in the leading Colonial officials, are duly recorded.
