 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-10-24):
 # According to Radio Fiji and Fiji Times online, Fiji will end DST 3
 # weeks earlier than expected - on March 6, 2011, not March 27, 2011...
 # Here is confirmation from Government of the Republic of the Fiji Islands,
 # http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/DAYLIGHT-SAVING-STARTS-ON-6th-NOVEMBER,-2016.aspx
 # "Fiji's daylight savings will begin on Sunday, 6 November 2016, when
 # clocks go forward an hour at 2am to 3am....  Daylight Saving will
 # end at 3.00am on Sunday 15th January 2017."

+# From Paul Eggert (2017-08-21):
-# For now, guess DST from 02:00 the first Sunday in November to
+# Dominic Fok writes (2017-08-20) that DST ends 2018-01-14, citing
-# 03:00 the third Sunday in January.  Although ad hoc, it matches
+# Extraordinary Government of Fiji Gazette Supplement No. 21 (2017-08-27),
+# [Legal Notice No. 41] of an order of the previous day by J Usamate.
+# For now, guess DST from 02:00 the first Sunday in November to 03:00
+# the first Sunday on or after January 14.  Although ad hoc, it matches
 # transitions since late 2014 and seems more likely to match future
 # practice than guessing no DST.

 # According to Google Books snippet view, a speaker in the New Zealand
 # parliamentary debates in 1956 said "Clause 78 makes provision for standard
 # time in the Chatham Islands.  The time there is 45 minutes in advance of New
 # Zealand time.  I understand that is the time they keep locally, anyhow."
 # For now, assume this practice goes back to the introduction of standard time
 # From Paul Eggert (2015-09-23):
 # Transitions before 2015 are from timeanddate.com, which consulted

-# Howse writes (p 153, citing p 10 of the 1883-11-18 New York Herald)
+# Howse writes (p 153) that after the 1879 standardization on Antipodean
-# that in 1879 the King of Samoa decided to change
+# time by the British governor of Fiji, the King of Samoa decided to change
 # "the date in his kingdom from the Antipodean to the American system,
 # ordaining - by a masterpiece of diplomatic flattery - that
 # the Fourth of July should be celebrated twice in that year."
+# This happened in 1892, according to the Evening News (Sydney) of 1892-07-20.
+# https://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/idl/idl.htm
 # Although Shanks & Pottenger says they both switched to UT -11:30
 # in 1911, and to -11 in 1950. many earlier sources give -11
 # for American Samoa, e.g., the US National Bureau of Standards
 # circular "Standard Time Throughout the World", 1932.
 # Assume American Samoa switched to -11 in 1911, not 1950,
 # and that after 1950 they agreed until (western) Samoa skipped a

 # From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22):
 # Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (p 1) reports that "Tonga has been plotting

 #
 # From Tim Parenti (2016-10-26):
 # Assume Tonga will observe DST from the first Sunday in November at 02:00
 # through the third Sunday in January at 03:00, like Fiji, for now.
+# From David Wade (2017-10-18):
+# In August government was disolved by the King.  The current prime minister
+# continued in office in care taker mode.  It is easy to see that few

+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2017-10-18):
+# For now, guess that DST is discontinued.  That's what the IATA is guessing.
