It is hoped that in time the Catalogue of the Bishop Museum may
be an epitome of the Natural History of these Islands, if not of all
Polynesia. At present this may not be, and on the part of science
it were of little use to print the meagre lists of what the Museum
now possesses, but on the other hand the opportunity to make known
to the Hawaiian public our wants, and to call attention to the very
interesting specimens that we now have m our collection^ s^^ixmi an
excuse for presenting the fourth part of this Catalogue. It was in
the mind of the Curator to print at large lists of all the described
species in each department, checking those now represented here,
but the impossibility of getting access to scientific records in this
remote place, and the fact that the respectable library of the late
W. H. Pease, now the property of the Hawaiian Government, but at
present in the hands of private parties, is temporarily inaccessible
to those who might profit by its use, make an accurate determination
of species impossible.

Moreover by the active explorations of Messrs. Henfy C. Palmer
and R. C. L. Perkins, both of England, new species are being added
to our lists almost weekly, the former having discovered several
most interesting species of birds, while the latter has nearly doubled
the number of species in our insect fauna* By Mr. Perkins' collect-
ing this Museum will eventually be enriched; and other museums, if
not this, will profit by the work of Mr. Palmer. The birds at present
on our shelves were for the most part the collection of Mr. J. Mills
of Hilo, Hawaii, and were collected more than thirty years ago.
Others have been added by the kindness of Messrs. W. F. Thrum,
'Albert F, Judd, Jr., and others whose names wijl appear in the
Catalogue.

The principal collection of land shells has come to the Museum
by purchase from Mr. D. D. Baldwin of Maui, who is about to pub-
lish a complete list of described species. The names attached to
the specimens are generally his, but it may safely be said that there
is no part of the Hawaiian fauna that requires such complete re-
examination and recasting of species. Beautiful as are many pf the
genus Achatinella, their study is greatly impeded by the confused
and unauthoritative nomenclature, no two collections that the Curator
has yet examinee} agreeing in the names of a very considerable

'•vt.-'.

minority of species. The marine shells are mainly from the Gov-
ernment collection, but many indigenous species are from Mr.
Baldwin.

The only fishes in the Museum are those kindly presented by
Charles H. Townsend of the U. S. Stesimer A Ibatros, and perhaps
half a dozen specimens given by other friends. In a group of islands
where curious fish abound on the reefs and along the shores, this
condition should soon be changed.

It is within the plan of the Curator to procure a collection of
human crania and skeletons where possible from all parts of Poly-
nesia, but at present we have but a dozen Hawaiian skulls.

The corals of the Pacific yield in beauty and interest to those
of no other region, and when it becomes possible to study the rich
treasures of F'iji, Tahiti, and Micronesia in one grand collection on
the shelves of this Museum by the side of all that are found on the
Hawaiian reefs, science as well as curiosity will be attracted to
our halls.

Of the vegetable kingdom we have a better account. The
labors of the late Horace Mann were so thorough that in the quar-
ter of a century since his death only half a dozen species have been
added to the Hawaiian Flora, while his own and the Curator's
explorations in 1864-65, included no less than seventy-five new
species, and five new genera of flowering plants. Specimens of
these will soon be on the Museum lists, as the Curator possesses the
type specimens named by Mr. Mann. Of the woods of these
Islands, the Messrs. Meyer of Molokai have furnished admirable
specimens of those growing on that island, and we hope soon to
have all the indigenous varieties, as well as those of foreign intro-
duction that are of value or interest. Weaving was unknown to,"
the Hawaiians, and so the many valuable vegetable fibres were spun
into lines, or beaten into kapa, but never fully utilized : these should
find a place here. Indeed the economic botany of the Hawaiian
Islands, will finally fill many cases in our collection. The woods
and ferns of New Zealand are well represented.

It will naturally be expected, that the volcanic products will be
in full force in our cases, and in fact we have a fairly representative
collection. More specimens are needed of the soils and other pro*
ducts of the decomposition of lavas.

Birds of the Haivaiian Islands.

While awaiting the completion of Mr. Scott B. Wilson's work
on the Hawaiian birds, we are unfortunately obliged to retain
specific names that will probably, if we may judge by the changes
already made, be replaced by others. In some cases no name is
given. The constant change of names by each succeeding writer
on grounds often of the most trivial nature, tends to cast discredit on.
science, and discourage those of the laity interested in the pursuit
of Nature, quite as much as the undoubtedly excellent work of these
writers excites the reader to further enquiries in this very delightful
field. It is now common to give a page of synonyms to a few lines
of useful description. The Hawaiian birds are in a case in the
Kahili Room.

5450-5453 Drepanis pacifica, Mamo. This bird, which fur-
nished the orange feathers for the cloaks and leis has of
late years become very rare; several have been caught
by Mr. Palmer, and the Curator saw three on a sandal-
wood tree beneath which he was encamped on the slopes
of Hualalai in 1890. The present specimens were all
obtained by Mills at Olaa, Hawaii, some thirty years ago.

5454-5462 Acrulocercus nobilis. Go, This is the source of the
yellow feathers used in the majority of the feather cloaks
and helmets The tufts [not single feathers] are found
in the axillae. The male alone of this species has the
peculiarly curly tail which gives the inappropriate name
to the genus. Hawaii.

5463-5465 Acrulocercus braccatus, Oo aa. This species has
small yellow feathers on the thigh, but none under the
wings. Kauai.

5466-5467 Chaetoptila angustipluma. An exceedingly rare
bird, not more than six specimens being known. Ha-
waii. Mills. ,

5468 Fringilla anna, Ulaaihawane, Named by Sanford B. Dole.
A rare bird, and one of the most beautiful. Hawaii.

5469-5470 Pennula ecaudata, Moho. No specimen has been
collected for many years, and the bird is supposed to be
extinct. These were collected by Mills thirty years ago,
in the forests back of Hilo, Hawaii. Although called
** wingless," the better term is *' flightless," for they have
rudimentary wings, quite sufficient to put their heads
under when asleep; they have no tails. A study of the
remarkably similar form from Laysan Id. shows a curi-
ous habit of standing on one leg, the power of flying
from the floor to a chair seat, and remarkable muscular
development of the leg; although much larger than a
canary, they pass readily through the bars of an ordinary
cage. They seen omnivorous, even eating greedily parts
of their dead companions, and drinking a great deal of
water.

5471 Bernicla sandwicensis, Nene. This Hawaiian goose was

presented by Scott B. Wilson.

5472 Numenius tahitiensis, Kioea, This curlew was shot and

presented by S. Edw. Damon, near Moanalua, Oahu.

5473 Corvus hawaiiensis, Alala, Hawaiian crow from the Mjlls

collection. S. Kona, Hawaii.

5474 Loxioides balleui. Mr. Wilson gives Palila as the native

name, but I know of no authority for it. Mr. Wilson's
native names are often wrong, as he accepted names
from natives who no longer retain the careful nomencla-
ture of the ancients. This bird is called ow, as often as
anything. Hawaii. Mills.

5475-5481 Vestiaria coccinea, liwi or liwi polena. According
to Mr. F. Gay it is also called Olokele on Kauai. Found
on all the islands of the group, it is not strange that the
name should vary, but in the songs and legends, the
more common liwi is always used. Apparently on Kauai
the natives have applied the name of the well known
valley to the bird found in it. The young and the female
differ greatly from the mature male. Hawaii. Mills.

5482-5483 Vestiaria coccinea. Lanai. Presented by Mr. F. H.
Hayselden. The color has been largely destroyed by the
alcohol in which the birds were preserved.

distinction of species in this genus, which has

always been distinguished in Hawaiian song

and myth.

A LIST OF THE NATIVE NAMES OF HAWAIIAN BIRDS.

In this list are included the names found in Judge Andrews' Dic-
tionary [1865]: those collected by the Curator [1864-65]: those
given by Judge Dole [1869] and some of the new and generally
local names collected by Mr. Wilson [1888]. Very few of Mr.
Wilson's names are generally known, and they are here given only
for the convenience of those who may be familiar with his fine work,
not because they are considered necessarily authentic. It should be
stated that where a bird ranges all over the group it often has a
number of aliasses. The old bird-catchers, however, were remark-
ably quick in determining species, and their names seem to have been
tolerably uniform on all the islands. They often gave a distinct
name to the female in those cases where there is a marked difference
between the sexes. When feathers ceased to be an article of barter

11

the bird-catchers disappeared and with them all definite knowledge
of bird names among the Hawaiians. At the present day hunters
have been known to call a small green bird by the name of the black
mamo, and indeed no confidence can be placed in the names given
by natives to collectors at present. Almost the only native names
determined beyond doubt are those commonly mentioned in ancient
song and legend, and those whose names are onomatopoeic, as the
Alala, etc.

Geographical and Mineralogieal Specimen.

While the geological formation of these islands is wholly volcanic,
excepting the infinitely small deposits resulting from the detritus of
the coral reefs, there is no such variety of mineral formation as is
seen for example in Vesuvius. The chemical composition of Ha-
waiian lavas both ancient and modern is essentially the same. Con-
sidering the enormous scale on which volcanic energy has been
exerted in this locality it is very remarkable that there is so little
sulphur to be found here; a fact probably due to the numerous sur-
face eruptions which consume the beds formed during previous
quiescent periods, as was noticed in May, 1880, when the chief bed
of sulphur at the sOuth end of Kilauea was rapidly oxidized by the
heat of a small outflow from Halemaumau. It has long been no-
ticed that sulphur deposits indicate a waning phase of volcanic ener-
gy and with the Hawaiian vents the failure of activity has not yet
been indicated. To the absence of subterranean sulphur deposits
may be attributed the marked absence of hot and mineral springs on
this group.

Phases of volcanic manifestations are very uniform on Hawaii,
and yet with the unusual facilities for observation that the prolonged
and approachable eruptions afford, geologists are still in doubt as to
the mode of formation of some of the common products of an erup-
tion, as for example the so-called aa. Curiously no prominent geol-
ogist has yet examined a lava flow in action, except in the miniature
flows within the crater of Kilauea, and as it is a product of action it
is not surprising that it is not well understood; its rough and very
peculiar structure makes it a well-remembered substance to all who
have journeyed much over lava streams.

Of the older lavas the phonolite or clinkstone is well represented
in case 18, MR. It is the material from which the adzes were
formed and hence has a number of native names. The finest and
most compact is sparingly diffused, generally at high elevations,
but is found on all the large islands. An old lava of considerable
hardness and durability and of light gray color is found in the beds
exposed in all the large craters, as Mokuaweoweo, Haleakala and Ki-
lauea. While this is easily decomposed by steam saturated with
sulphurous compounds, it seems to stand well under the action of
frost on Mauna Kea. A much more common form of hard lava is

59

found in all the old lava streams, and although cellular is easily
worked and has lately been much used in building, as in this Muse-
um. Columnar basalt occurs both on Hawaii [in the gorge of the
Wailuku river] , on Kauai and elsewhere, but the prisms have not
that regularity and beauty of form seen in those of Antrim, Ireland,
Auvergne in France, and around the extinct volcanoes of the Eifel
on the Rhine/ The old lava is sometimes beatifuUy mottled with
olivine, and in other cases the cells, often of considerable size, ar^
filled with zeolites, and more rarely contain quartz crystals. Masses
of milky quartz have been found in the tufaceous deposits of Punch
Bowl and are in this collection. [5674]

The forms of recent lava are various; the pahoehoe solidifying in
sheets, crust or ropy masses; the froth of an eruption appearing as
basaltic pumice or limii\ the drops ejected from a molten pool spin
out the well-known Pele's Hair; the irregular motion of a lava
stream forms slag and the mysterious aa; the violent commixture of
a hot lava with water produces ^^Black gravel " and in some way
not fully understood the tufa or ash that forms the bulk of the coast
craters."^

The action of different vapors on the lava crust in Kilauea and
elsewhere in active regions produces most curious variations of color,
presenting the iridescence of some specimens of anthracite coal, and
even the bright metallic lustre of gold. The effect of superheated
steam on the solubility of rocks is well seen in the formation of the
cave stalactites, of which this collection possesses many examples.!

The temperature of the molten lava is not known, but must be
very high or else Hawaiian lavas must be very fusible, since after a
flow on the surface of perhaps forty miles the lava has retained so
remarkable a degree of liquidity as to penetrate the narrow fissures
in a decayed stump as may be seen in the extraordinary specimen
from Ookala, Hawaii [2284]. The specific gravity of these speci-

* It should be noticed that the gentle passage of a hot lava into water is not ac-
companied by any violent action, and streams have been seen moving quietly under
the water where they enter the sea, or even over the surface of a small pool. It
seems to be mainly wliere lava is rapidly cooled by the action of evaporating water
that the columnar structure occurs.

t i have seen these stalactites forming in the caves of Kilauea in 1865. They
are also found in caves in lava flows, notably in that of 1881, near Ffilo, hence the
supposition that they are of igneous instead of aqueous origin. This is not the
place to argiie the matter, but careful comparison of microscopic sections of those
from Kilauea with those of undoubted igneous origin convinces me that my observ-
ations were correct.

60

mens is very great, far surpassing that of any of the stalactites, which
however, if formed in a molten state must have had wonderful liquid-
ity as the edges of the cracks under which they form on the cave
roofs are in close proximity if not in actual contact.

Genuine pumice is adventitious and found only washed ashore;
examples may be seen in case 27, MR. The soils or products of
the decomposition of lava are, as might be supposed, comparatively
uniform, and vary chiefly in the proportional admixture of vegetable
mould, or near the shore, in the limestone of the coral reef mechan-
ically disseminated. The proportion of the different oxides of iron
seems to vary considerably as indicated by the different shades of
brown and red in certain soils. Red ochre is not uncommon and
was used by the old Hawaiians both as a dye and as a putty.

Clays being the result of the decomposition of feldspathic or crys-
talline rocks are not found here: certain tenacious soils are suitable
for adobe and such earth has also been burned into a poor quality of
brick [5626].
