Abstract
IN connection with the Coronation festivities at Suva, there was to have been a fire-walking ceremony, owing to the illness of the King, the Government of Fiji decided that nothing could take place; however, a large party of excursionists from New Zealand managed unofficially to obtain an exhibition of the fire-walking. The following notes have been abstracted mainly from an account by Mr. Walter Burke, in the Christchurch Weekly Press (July 16, 1902) and from a condensed report in the Evening Star of a paper read before the Otago Institute by Dr. Robert Fulton, which some time next year will be published in the Transactions.
