Report of Work in 1013.
[Presented to the Trustees February 17, 1914; returned to the Director April 24, 1914, with
orders to omit everything but ‘‘work accomplished”. |
THE past year has but a commonplace history to relate. Not
much has been done in publication, not much in accumulation of
specimens; but the members of the staff have been far from idle.
The Museum Press has been largely occupied in printing the
Report of the Director’s Journey around the World, which for
various reasons has taken more time than was spent in the jour-
ney. No Memoir has been issued, but of the Occasional Papers,
besides the Annual Report for 1912, Volume V, Part 4, we have
published Mr. Forbes’ Notes on the Flora of Kahoolawe and Molo-
kini, and An Enumeration of Niihau Plants, forming Part 3 of
the same volume. Much other material has been collected for
various papers not necessary to specify, and it has been no light
work but is still far from accomplishment.
In the Library much work has been done and the list of acces-
sions given below will show the value of its increase, while the
following brief statistics will mark the form:

tors to the Library have had volumes placed at their disposal for
research, transcription, or illustration copying. ‘Tracings of por-
tions of maps or charts have been made for curators in a very
convenient and time-saving way.
In the Botanical department much work has been done and
I quote from Mr. C. N. Forbes’ report to me:
“Dr. Wn. T. BRIGHAM, Director of the Bishop Museum.
“DEAR SrrR:—The bulk of the material received during the
year has been poisoned, mounted, classified, and incorporated
into the herbarium. Work has been continued in poisoning the
mounted portion of the herbarium with corrosive sublimate. This
work takes a great deal of time, with little to show for it; but it
seems absolutely necessary not to neglect any possible means of
combatting the invasions of our numerous insect pests. The
Hawaiian section is practically finished.
‘‘Most of the collecting this year was on the smaller islands,
or over ground covered before; so the number of specimens ob-
tained was not large, although nearly the same amount of time
was spent in the field. During a portion of February and March
I accompanied other members of the Museum staff on a trip to the
islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe. Very few specimens were
collected, but the trip was instructive in many ways. ‘The botani-
cal results have already been reported on in Volume V, Number 3,
of the Occasional Papers of this Museum. For courtesies ex-
tended while on the island we are indebted to Mr. Eben P. Low,
lessee of Kahoolawe; and also to Messrs. Arthur Waaland W. A.
Gill of Lahaina for aid in obtaining a boat for the trip.
‘‘On the return from this trip a week was spent at Lahaina,
Maui, for the purpose of collecting on ridges not visited in rgrt.
‘During the months of June and July an extended trip was
made to the island of Lanai which was covered pretty thoroughly,
practically every ridge and subridge being walked over at least
once. ‘There are two rather extensive forest areas on this island
with a diversified and interesting flora. A fairly complete set of
Director's Annual Report. 5
the plants reported from here was collected, which has been con-
siderably augmented by a set collected by Mr. G. C. Munro, who
obtained a few not in fruit or flower during my visit. Before this
year there was little or nothing from this island in our herbarium.
For courtesies extended we are indebted to Messrs. Cecil Brown,
George C. Munro, Charles Gay and William Dickson.
‘During a month’s vacation in September a few notes were
made on the vegetation of Kauai. A few short trips have been
made on Oahu at various times, mainly to study the ecology.
‘The following list shows the number of specimens added to
the herbarium during the year. All contributors should be
thanked for their generous interest in this department.

From the Curator of Pulmonata I quote as follows:
‘“The last year has been an extremely interesting and valu-
able one. Probably more specimens have been added to the
collection than in any other year, but fewer specimens have been
catalogued owing to the time spent in studying and in the field.
6 Director's Annual Report.
‘“Twelve thousand six hundred and seven shells were cata-
logued, the same being distributed over 1300 catalogue numbers.
The bulk of the material catalogued has been of fresh material.
Several lots of fossil earth are in the laboratory, but your Curator
has not had time to pick out and sort the material. The number
of shells contained in these lots cannot be less than 100,coo. It is
only at odd times that these fossil lots can be tended to, as the
strain on the eyes is too severe to be continued several days in
succession. It is hoped that some progress can be made with the
fossil material during the coming year.
‘‘Among our visitors Dr. H. A. Pillsbry of Philadelphia, for
whose trip the Trustees generously provided the funds, was natur-
ally the most interesting. Dr. Pilsbry brought out his manuscript
of the volume of the Manual of Conchology now appearing, and
your Curator worked over this with him, supplying data, etc., on
the distribution, variation, and synonymy of the species dealt
with in this volume. Dr. Pilsbry has very generously made your
Curator co-author of this volume. Several trips were taken by
Dr. Pilsbry and the Curator to study problems of distribution and
variation in the field so that the Doctor would have a first hand
knowledge of the problem. These trips were taken on Oahu,
Molokai, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii.
‘The trips on Oahu were undertaken to study the distribution
of some of the well-known Oahuan species and were planned to
settle some of the vexing problems of synonymy. These trips also
included some of the fossil beds in order that, from their contents,
a knowledge of the former (more or less ancient) character of
these islands might be obtained.
‘“The same problems were undertaken on the island of Molo-
kai. The trip to Kahoolawe was in the nature of an exploring ex-
pedition. Fortunately the trip resulted in finding two fossil beds
of land-shells. Messrs. Stokes and Forbes later discovered two or
three very rich beds. The trip to Hawaii was primarily to study
the valuable collection of Mr. Thaanum. During this trip a visit
was made to the volcano.
Director's Annual Report. 7
“While in Honolulu the collection in the Museum was care-
fully gone over. The collections of Messrs. Thurston, Wilder and
J. S. Emerson were also studied. Particular attention was paid
to the collection of Mr. Irwin Spalding. This collection, in the
opinion of the writer, is the largest and finest of the Oahuan tree-
shells ever put together.
‘The most important trip of the year was to Palmyra Island.
The writer was the guest of Judge Henry E. Cooper. Two or
three weeks were spent in preparation for this trip as everything
necessary for collecting or preserving had to be taken along. It is
needless to say that the trip was a success as twenty-seven boxes
and bags of specimens are the result.
‘Sixteen days were spent on the island and all kinds of speci-
mens of animal life were taken, except birds. Several hundred
specimens of coral, crabs, fish, etc., are now in the Museum as a
result of the trip. Dr. Clark has kindly consented to name the
echinoderms collected. The rest of the specimens collected will
have to be referred to specialists. Of the land-shells only three
specimens were found. ‘Two species were very common and the
third extremely rare. Undoubtedly all of the species were acci-
dentally introduced by man when the coconuts were taken there
for planting. This trip occupied about six, and several weeks
were spent on the writer’s return in sorting and cleaning the
specimens.
‘“The sources of the material catalogued and added to the
collection during the year are as follows:

Director's Annual Report.
‘‘One of the most remarkable finds of the year was made by Mr.
Frank Greenwell, of two species of tree-shells on the slopes of Hu-
alalai. I wish also to mention the collection made by Mr. Forbes
on the island of Lanai. This collection numbered nearly 5,000
specimens, many of the minute species being new to the island.”’
From the Curator of Ethnology I have received a report on
the year’s work in his department which is exceedingly interest-
ing, but as he intends to publish the results of his explorations
later, when completed, I give but a brief extract. The list of ac-
quisitions is to be illustrated by engravings of some of the more
remarkable specimens.
Of gifts: we received from Miss Breckons a large wooden
image found on Kauai, in a remarkable state of preservation.
Messrs. A. F. Judd and R. A. Cooke added specimens found on
Molokai. Other gifts were received from the Dominion Museum,
Wellington, N. Z.; Rev. W. D. Westervelt, Mr. Patrick Walsh,
Executors of the late A. S. Cleghorn and Mr. C. F. Maxwell.
Of purchases: the feather cloak and cape belonging to the
Joy family in Boston (figured in Memoirs I, Plate XII) were se-
cured. A valuable collection of war implements from Niue was
purchased from Mr. C. F. Maxwell, formerly British Commissioner
from that island; these are figured later in the lists. A Korean
who has brought us several small collections from Mokapu during
recent years, brought us yet another.
Of loans: the number has most satisfactorily increased. Mr.
G. P. Cooke has sent us 16 specimens from Molokai, Mr. Wm.
Wagner 6 from Hawaii, Mr. D. Thaanum 11 from various parts of
the group, Mr. W. D. McBride 2 stone club heads, Mr. Harry
Gregson a stone pikoi of unusual form, and Mr. G. O. Cooper a
stick idol from Hawaii. ‘These will be illustrated in the general
list of acquisitions. ‘The collection of Edgar Henriques has been
catalogued under the Curator’s supervision and 251 of the speci-
mens are already arranged in a separate case in the upper gallery
of Hawaiian Hall. Some interesting illustrations of these will be
found in the lists below.
Director's Annual Report. 9
In field work two expeditions were made to Kahoolawe and
en route Molokini was thoroughly explored. On the former island
twelve days were spent in company with Mr. Forbes the first time
and the island was explored as thoroughly as possible from the
land side, and many remains of a former population were found.
“While waiting at Lahaina for the steamer to return us to Hono-
lulu, Mr. Forbes and I went to Honokahau and Kahakuloa and
examined and photographed three groups of historic stones.’’
‘‘Preparations were made immediately on my return to Hono-
lulu for a second expedition to Kahoolawe, and I left on the
Kilauea for Lahaina in company with Mr. Perry of the Museum
and Mr. Henry Jaeger, who kindly volunteered his services. We
had the misfortune to lose our equipment through a fire in the hold
of the Mikahala, but it was replaced as far as possible by pur-
chases in Lahaina. Mr. Perry and I spent twenty-three days at
Kahoolawe, but Mr. Jaeger had to return to Honolulu after a fort-
night; he rendered most valuable aid.’’
The results of these expeditions were very satisfactory and
will be published after another trip to the island. The most illu-
minating information of the ancient fish-hook manufactures, and
indeed of the former life of the Hawaiian fisherman was obtained.
The excavations were conducted with the care used in excavating
Pompeii: everything was passed over a quarter-inch sieve. The
exhaustion of provisions and the appointed arrival of the launch
to take the explorers back to Lahaina compelled them to leave
much undone, although they brought many sacks of material to
be picked over on their return.
It was a grand opportunity to study ancient life in a place
entirely out of the way of travel, and ‘‘among two thousand odd
fish-hooks and files and two or three thousand other specimens
there were but six objects of foreign introduction, viz.: one iron
boat spike, iron nail hook, copper nail, two fragments of cloth
and a piece of canvas, all found near the surface.’’ ‘The early
voyagers tell of the great eagerness of Hawaiians to secure iron
nails, which probably quickly replaced bone as a material for fish-

hooks, and took away the bone hook makers’s occupation. The
abandonment of the workshop (discovered in a cave) could not
have been much later than the end of the eighteenth century, or
the foreign objects would certainly have been more numerous.
The accumulation shows that work must have been going on at
the place for several centuries before.’’
ATTENDANCE OF VISITORS.
Of the distinguished visitors to the Museum should be men-
tioned Dr. Peter Jessen, Librarian of the Kunstgewerbe Museum,
Berlin; Dr. Stewart Culin and Lockwood De Forest of Brooklyn;
Hofrat Professor Dr. Gustav Hanausek of Graz; Dr. H. A. Pilsbry
of the Philadelphia Academy of Science; Dr. Fred. Baker of San
Diego, and Dr. Hubert L. Clark of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The attendance of visitors has this year exceeded all previous
records and was only twenty less than fifteen thousand. The kapu
upon children under five years of age has considerably reduced
the number of Japanese visitors.

On consulting the latest supplement to the Index Kewensis,
which was not previously available, I find that the above change
of name is necessary, as the name /ozg7zsepala was preoccupied for
a Chinese plant by Forrest. As more extensive field collecting
has not extended the range of this plant beyond the Koolau range
of mountains on Oahu, it seems appropriate that the plant should
bear this name. A point not mentioned in the original descrip-
tion is that it often has a creeping rhizome.

Director’s Report for 1914
LIBRARY
NEW YOrR«K
BOTANICAL
DuRING the year 1914 the number of visitors to the Museum has
been greater than ever before, and, what is more important, we
have had many more students devoted to continuous work in our
Library and Laboratory; some studying weeks at a time, and it
is probable that all found it worth their while. Mr. Mesterhazy
of Moskau made with remarkable speed and accuracy colored
drawings of our fruit casts and of many of our ethnological
specimens. Dr. F. von Luschan and Mrs. Emma von Luschan
spent a month at the Museum busily engaged in measuring our
collection of Hawaiian crania and skeletons, and also making
measurements and casts from life. This study proved so inter-
esting that these distinguished anthropologists hope to return to
these islands to extend their investigations. The result obtained
from the Museum collections we hope to publish, fully illus-
trated, in our Memoirs. The necessary apparatus for the photo-
graphic illustration of crania could not be found in the United
States and has been ordered from Munich, although its arrival
has been delayed by the war in Europe; from the same prob-
able cause anthropometrical instruments ordered from Ztirich
are long overdue.
The number of students in the Library emphasizes the need
for better library accommodations. ‘The repairs made to the new
concrete Laboratory with the addition of a thick coat of paint
seems to have stopped the leakage all over the building, and
where paint has been applied to the inner walls as well, the result
is most satisfactory. [43] (3)
GARDEN,
4 Director's Annual Report.
The Entomological Room has been fitted with suitable furni-
ture and racks for steel cases. In the Publication Room the ad-
ditional cases authorized will have been installed before this
report is issued. For Dr. Cooke’s room fine new cases have been
made in the Museum for the storage of shells. In the Casting
Room suitable means have been provided for the speedy drying
of moulds and casts.
In Hawaiian Hall the relics of the chiefs have been removed
to the upper gallery, and the botanical collections for exhibition
will be placed in the same gallery as soon as the bird skins now
there can be transferred to the steel cases now ez route from New
York. After this the gallery will be open to the public. In it
have been placed temporarily the Connelly collection of Australian
specimens, and the Etheridge collection of specimens mainly
from the New Hebrides. Here also are the loan collections of
Hawaiian origin.
The new edition of the portion of the Museum handbook re-
lating to Hawaiian Hall is nearly complete and will probably be
issued by the time the upper gallery is open to visitors. A sepa-
rate catalogue of the fish casts is in preparation to be issued as
soon as the new species have been determined by the distinguished
authority to whom they have been referred. ‘This will be a notable
publication, as our collection of casts and notes on the fish from
which these have been made embraces essentially all the import-
ant food fish of the group. It is also proposed to have a separate
section of the handbook for the volcanic specimens, and for the
Polynesian and Melanesian collections when the hall for the latter
is built. This much toexplain the form of publication: the former
handbook covered the entire collection.
Our publications have been limited to the Dire¢tor’s Report
for 1913 in the Occasional Papers. No Memoirs have been issued,
but much work has been done on certain papers for future publi-
cation. Our exchange list has increased during the year as will
[44]
Director's Annual Report. 5
be seen by the list at the end of this report. The demand from
abroad for the Memoirs on Feather Work, Kapa Making, Index
to the Islands of the Pacific, and especially Mr. Stokes’ Index to
Fornander’s Polynesian Race continues to a gratifying extent.
Great delay in our publications has been caused by the impossi-
bility of getting satisfactory paper here or at the Coast, compelling
us to send to the factories in the East.
In the Cast Room there has been great activity, and a number
of new and very interesting specimens have been cast. In the
family of eels thirty-one specimens are already on exhibition and
eight more are cast and nearly finished. A very large specimen
of ‘‘John Dory’’ (Zeus) has been cast, as also a fine fish he had
just swallowed when caught. The expected visit of Dr. B. W.
Evermann has greatly stimulated the search for new and rare
specimens.
During the visit of Dr. von Luschan a number of casts were
made of native faces, and hands, and the process of making masks
as practised by our visitor was so satisfactory that it is to be hoped
more of these expressive and interesting casts will be made. Our
thanks were given to several of the Kamehameha School boys for
their obliging willingness to be measured and cast. They found
it not so disagreeable a process as it looks. The moulds are still
awaiting an opportunity to forward them to Dr. von Luschan when
en route for Germany.
Of the distinguished and helpful visitors may be noted Herbert
Bolton, M.Sc., F.R.S.E., Director of the Museum, Bristol, Eng.;
Prof. Alfred M. ‘Tozzer and Prof. W. R. Castle, Jr., of Harvard;
Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale; Rosewell B. Lawrence, Esq.,
Secretary of the Appalachian Club; Dr. Geo. A. Dorsey of the
Field Musenm, Chicago; Prof. Felix von Luschan and Madame
Kmma von Luschan of Berlin; Prof. (of Geography) Aleksander
Janowski, University of Warsaw; M. Mesterhazy of Moskau,
Explorer in Brazil. (45 ]

The Curator of Botany, Mr. Charles N. Forbes, reports as
follows:
‘Very little field work has been done this year, and nearly
the whole time has been spent in the Herbarium. ‘The whole col-
lection, including the duplicates, has now been poisoned with
mercuric bichloride, and I am glad to report that the Herbarium
is free from all insects. Much time was spent in mounting, classi-
fying and studying the specimens; some time has been spent on
a card reference index to the Hawaiian Flora; several field trips
have been made on Oahu in connection with ecological studies.
Owing to the difficulty of preserving specimens from insects I am
not keeping a large stock of duplicates of Oahu plants, as it is
better to get them on demand. This accounts for the smaller
number of specimens added in comparison to other years when
the collecting was on other islands.

Dr. C. M. Cooke, Jr., Curator of Pulmonata, reports as follows:
‘For the year 1914 your Curator can report progress. ‘This
has been an exceedingly profitable and busy year, and more speci-
mens have been catalogued than in any previous year.
“Sixty-eight thousand nine hundred and fifteen (68,915)
specimens were catalogued, distributed over two thousand nine
hundred and ninety-four (2994) catalogue numbers. ‘There are
at present in the Museum five collections (acquired either by gift
or purchase) which are uncatalogued containing between fifty and
seventy-five thousand shells belonging for the greater part to the
genera Achatinella and Amastra.
‘Two trips to Molokai and one to Kauai were taken during
the year and a great deal of valuable material was collected. On
both of these islands particular attention was paid to fossil beds.
Eight new beds were discovered on Kauai, two of which were in
districts from which no material had previously been reported.
A portion of the large collections of fossils made by Mr. Stokes at
Koloa, Kauai, and on Niihau were catalogued during the year.
The fossils from Niihau were especially interesting and show a
very close relationship to those on Kauai. ‘The fossils collected
on Kahoolawe by Dr. Pilsbry, Messrs. Stokes and Forbes and your
Curator were also catalogued, and a number of new species found
among them, especially in the genus Leptachatina. ‘There are in
the Museum at present between twenty and thirty lots of material,
from as many different fossil beds, which are uncatalogued. Some
(47]
8 Director's Annual Report.
of these lots are sorted, but in a number only the larger speci-
mens have been picked out. I estimate that at least two hundred
thousand shells are contained in these lots.
“One of the most important finds of the year was made by
Mr. Thaanum in the valley of Waimano, Oahu. It was a pocket
of fossil earth, and the whole amount could not have been more
thana bushel. Forty-two species of shells were found in this earth
and there must have been originally thousands of shells contained
in it. Six new species of Exdodonta alone were found in this lot.
Although some of the species are still found alive in the neighbor-
hood of this deposit, the bulk of the species seem to be related
more closely to those found at present on the Waianae Range than
to those of the Koolau Mountains.
‘“The value of working out the species of these fossil beds
cannot be overestimated. Dr. Pilsbry has shown, from his study
of the Amastra that there is undoubtedly a possibility that at one
time these islands were joined together. It is the hope of your
Curator to carry on this study with the other genera of shells.
The finding of these fossil beds, some of which are close to the
seashore, proves that at one time the islands were wooded to the
sea. Not only this, but by correlating the species of fossil shells
found in these beds with the related living species and what is
known of their habitats, I feel sure at some time we shall be able
to know almost the exact character of the ancient forests which at
one time covered these islands.
“On December 22, Mr. W. M. Giffard kindly presented to the
Museum the collection of land shells made by his late brother.
This collection contains the largest specimen of an Oahuan tree
shell I have ever seen, and also a sinistral specimen of Achatinella
lorata which is, as far as I know, unique.
‘“Those from whom gifts have been catalogued are: Mrs. H.
Waterhouse; Misses H. Hatch, A. T. Cooke and C. A. Cooke;

of the specimens catalogued during the year were collected by
Messrs. Stokes and Forbes of the Museum staff.
‘“‘Among the noteworthy specimens added to our collections
this year are:
‘““Succinea rubida Pease. This species has been found only
twice since the time of Pease, as far as I know, and only three or
four specimens have been taken. In June thirty-one specimens
were found back of Wahiawa, Kauai, and the Museum has nowa
fine series showing the different stages from rather young to the
adult specimens. This species is quite rare in its natural habitat.
The young appear, in the field, to belong to different species as
the animals are light colored while those of adult specimens are of
a dark slate. Many trips have been undertaken to Kauai in the
Hopes of finding this species and the related Swuccinea explanata.
The latter, as far as I know, has not been found since it was taken
by the United States Exploring Expedition.
‘Two new species related to Succinea, but undoubtedly con-
stituting a new genus, were found on Kauai in fossil depcsits at
Hanamaulu and Haena, Kauai. These are the only species of
the Succineidze which are umbilicated.
‘““A new species, which may belong to a genus new to these
islands, was found on the coral bluffs near Koloa, Kauai. ‘This
species is related to the Opeas, an imported genus, the species of
which are common in all our gardens. Evidence from the more mod-
ern of the so-called fossil beds shows that at least one of the species
of Opeas was originally brought here by the early Hawaiians.
“The finding of Leptachatina fossilis at Mana, Kauai, is also
worthy of mention. The type and what was formerly the only
[49]

specimen of this species is in the collection of the Academy of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and is without locality.
‘“‘On Oahu the fossil pocket found by Mr. Thaanum has been
mentioned. ‘The two most remarkable species are a large un-
described species of Amastra and a species of /Andodonta of an
entirely new type. The latter may be the representative of a
new sub-genus.
“Also from Oahu, Amastra antigua and Amastra vetusta
were rediscovered. The original material was found by Dr. Lyons
and described by Mr. Baldwin. Neither of these species was in
the collection of the Museum until your Curator found them this
year. Repeated search has been made to relocate the original
beds, but so far unsuccessfully. The finding of both these spe-
cies in new beds is interesting.
“On Molokai Mr. Hitchcock found the base of what appeared
to be an entirely new species of dmastra. ‘Three trips were taken
in the hope of finding whole specimens, all of which were un-
successful. In December Mr. G. P. Cooke sent to the Museum
specimens which probably belong to this species, which is the
largest species of land shell from any of our islands if we except
Kauai; one specimen is nearly 40 mm. in length.
‘“The monograph on the Hawalian Endodontide has received
considerable attention during the year and a portion of the manu-
script has been written. One hundred and four forms have been
photographed by Mr. Baker, and about forty additional forms will
be illustrated. More than one hundred species and varieties of
this interesting family are in our collection which are distributed
over several hundred catalogue numbers. Mr. Sykes, in 1gor,
recognized only twenty-one species, and since then about ten have
been added. Only nine species of this genus were collected by
Mr. Perkins. The work of finishing this monograph will take con-
siderable time, as hardly a month passes without the finding of
some new and interesting variety or species.’’
[50]
Director's Annual Report. DE
Mr. J. F. G. Stokes, Curator of Polynesian Ethnology, reports
as follows:
‘“Of our accessions the finest gift of the year was that of Mrs.
Agnes H. B. Judd, who gave us the collection of the late A. Francis
Judd, chief justice of the supreme court, which had been here on loan
deposit for fourteen years. The most valuable specimen was the
feather cape which at one time belonged to Kaumualii (described
in Memoir I, p. 62). Another interesting specimen was a small
to medium poi bowl of the unusual tall form, which was reputed
to have belonged to Kalaimamahu, brother of Kamehameha I.
‘‘Another generous donor was the Rev. W. D. Westervelt.
For a long time past no annual list has appeared without this
geutleman’s name appearing among the givers, in my department
as well as in others of the Museum. During the year 1914 the
Director recommended that appreciation of Mr. Westervelt’s in-
terest be shown by the presentation by the Trustees of the Museum
publications. This was approved.and a formal presentation made
in person by the Director and this Curator. The result was very
Surprising and unlooked for, as, in order to demonstrate his con-
tinued good will towards the Museum, he stripped his house of
almost all his remaining specimens and loaded up the car.
‘“The Museum has several good friends on the Molokai Ranch.
The manager, Geo. P. Cooke, and assistant manager, James
Munro, have both visited my room at the Museum and received
what instruction I could give them in collecting. They have re-
ceived further instruction in the field from the Curator of Pulmo-
nata, whose investigations of the fossil beds have taken him
through the regions inhabited by the old Hawaiians. These gentle-
men and their friends have taken a real pleasure in gathering
specimens for the Museum and have sent in large collections made
independently and in company with the Curator of Pulmonata.
‘“‘Among the other gifts should be specially mentioned that
of seventeen kapas from Kona, from Mrs. C. M. Cooke; piece of
original hieroglyphic tablet from Easter Island, made by Mrs.

12 Director's Annual Report.
W. M. Giffard; and carved ceremonial paddle from Mangaia,
made by Edward M. Brigham, Curator of the Public School
Museum, Battle Creek, Michigan. Of the staff both the Curators
of Pulmonata and of Botany have made contributions which will
be mentioned later in describing the field work.
‘‘Of the purchases of the year by far the largest was the col-
lection made by the brothers R. J. and Norman Etheridge of
Sydney, numbering 416 specimens. This collection has been
catalogued and temporarily placed in cases in the upper gallery
of Hawaiian Hall. The Director will add a few notes on the more
remarkable specimens.
‘*A number of small purchases have been made of Hawaiian
material. A very choice kapa of a pattern different to what we have
in our collection, but figured on plate 37 of the Memoirs, Vol. III,
was purchased from Mrs. J. H. Maby. Three hula ki’1, similar to
the marionettes described by Dr. N. B. Emerson, were bought; also
a lei claimed to have belonged to Kaumualii. An unusually large
number of specimens of the plainer and less spectacular kind have
been bought at the curiosity stores or at the door during the year,
and the sellers have been encouraged to get more. By this means
we have received two or three specimens absolutely new to us.
‘In the class of relics the Kapiolani Estate kindly presented
us with a lot of material found in the palace at Kailua, Hawaii.
Included were what was described as photographs of Kameha-
meha IV and Queen Emma, which proved to be very choice por-
traits in oil by Burgess in 1856.
‘‘This Curator has taken but three trips into the field during
the year. One, in company of the Curator of Botany, was made
to a cave on Oahu which was full of loose and scattered skeletons;
as the owner of the land was known to be very sensitive on the sub-
ject of removing skeletons, they were examined but not disturbed.
‘*Professor von Luschan was conducted over the sand dunes at
Waimanalo, and a few fragments of skeletons found. This locality
yielding poor returns, an expedition was planned to some dunes

on Lanai known to Mr. Wagener, and carried out with the permis-
sion of the Lanaiagents. We were wellsatisfied with the results.
‘‘T might say here that I was in continual attendance on Pro-
fessor von Luschan in the field and laboratory during the month
of his visit. Coming direct from the centre of modern anthro-
pological study, as he does, and being in fact the leader in the sub-
ject, I received great benefit from the observation of his methods
and the instruction he was ready toimpart. ‘There is one matter
in which Professor von Luschan has demonstrated that we have
been clearly derelict inourduty. Heexpected to find in a museum
of this size and location, three thousand weli authenticated Ha-
waiizn skulls. He found but fifty skulls all told, very few of
which were Hawaiian. ‘These we have been content to gather as
occasionally met with, expecting that at some future date the feel-
ings of the present Hawaiians in regard to the gathering of their
ancestors’ bones might be modified by time and education as in
other countries.* The trips to Waimanalo and Lanai have fur-
nished the Professor with an excellent subject on which to base
his lectures for our benefit. The condition of the bones made it
only too apparent that even in these dunes, composed of lime sand,
each on the dry side of the respective islands (the most favorable
locality for the preservation of bony material under ground), it
would be only a very few years before the skeletons would be too
decayed to be worth collecting. He says that we owe it to Science
to gather as many authenticated Hawaiian skeletons as we can
accommodate and store—at least five hundred—so that the record
of the Hawaiian proportions will not be lost.
‘‘Considerable time has been given to the Kahoolawe collec-
tion in seeking a satisfactory method of handling the subject, both
in regard to cataloguing and description. ‘There have been pub-
*In 1865 I was able to ship some five barrels of Hawaiian crania to Boston.
Many of these were collected in the sand beyond Diamond Head; others in
the sands of the isthmus of Maui. Fine specimens were in my collection and
these were measured by Dr. Jeffries Wyman of Harvard University. I wish
indeed I had as good a collection in this Museum.—W. T. B.

lished many articles on kitchen middens, which most nearly re-
semble the Kahoolawe find, but in no case is the procedure appli-
cable. Some attention has been given to the subject of the f7z7koz,
the Hawaiian throwing club, anda paper prepared. It was, how-
ever, withdrawn to await further expected information. Some
notes were handed to the Director describing various specimens in
the Henriques and other loan collections.*
THE HENRIQUES COLLECTION.
The collection received on loan from Mr. Henriques con-
sisted of 250 specimens, of native origin, enumerated in the list
of accessions for 1914. This was but one-third in number of
his entire collection, but included all the uniques and rare
specimens. When aiding Mr. Henriques to catalogue his speci-
meus, it was noted with pleasure that the wooden utensils, poi
bowls, meat dishes, finger bowls, etc., retained their original
native polish. So many of the Hawaiian wooden dishes in private
hands have been spoiled (for museum purposes) by modern var-
nish. ‘There was a remarkably large series of bambu kapa stamps
and rulers, nearly all received from one old maker of kapa. One
of the stamps had the pattern cut out from tortoise shell. Among
the pounders was found one made of wood of the same shape and
average size as the conical poi pounders of stone: this was used
for the breadfruit poi. Wooden pounders are seldom seen; they
were also used for pounding seaweed. ‘There was a basket of zeze
root, examples of which, once common, are seldom seen now.
A finger bowl 8.8 inches long, 7 wide and 3.3 deep, and a
spittoon 8 inches in diameter and 3.2 deep (Fig. 1) show varia-
tions which are worthy of special notice. The finger bowl has
four straight sides, instead of the usual circular or oval form, and
none of the corners are rectangular (Fig.1,a). The spittoon has
two well-made grooves around the outer rim (Fig. 1, 4). Both

have been in Mrs. Henriques’ family for many years, but the name
of the original owner of the spittoon only has been retained: it is
believed to have belonged to Kualii, king of Oahu, who died before
1730, according to Fornander (Polynesian Race, II, 280).
It should be mentioned that the nucleus of this collection
consisted of specimens and family heirlooms of Mrs. Henriques
and her aunt, Miss Peabody, Hawaiian ladies of high rank, who
had inherited from their ancestors; and the collection has been in-
creased many fold through the exertions of Mr. Henriques himself.
Included also is the zzho palaoa (ivory hook, an emblem of
rank) which has been handed down as the identical hook which
Liloa, king of Hawaii, gave Akahiakuleana as a pledge and means
of identification for their son Umi. ‘The story has been often told
(Fornander, II, 74; Malo, 338; Tales of a Venerable Savage, 18).
The name of the specimen, “Nalukoki,’’ written by the late Queen
Emma on a label is still adhering. ‘The original surface has been
removed (by filing probably) from both sides of the inner portion
of the hook and the hole for suspension, but the rest of the speci-
men retains the brilliant native polish.
There is also the following unique specimen: a double poi
bowl, 22.3 inches long (Fig. 2), goblet-shaped each half, and con-
nected by a round bar, all carved from a single piece of wood;
being cut across the grain the bar had not much strength and has
been broken. There is no history connected with the specimen
except that it has been in the family for many years. The Director
and Mr. Henriques suggest that it’ was a relic of the kapu period,
when different sexes were prohibited from eating together; husband
and wife could by this device eat out of the separate compartments
and so observe the restriction. However, this explanation is not
very satisfactory, as the sexes were generally prohibited from eat-
ing in the same place, and even their food was required to be cooked
in separate ovens (Malo, 50). Another suggestion has been made
that the double bowl was probably used for breadfruit and kalo poi.

“NOTLOWTION SHNOIUNAH “IMO ICd AITNOG NVIIVMVH ‘2
18 Director's Annual Report.
A small adze of shell, length 1.8 inches, width 1, and thick-
ness .2, with a rounded cutting edge following the contour of the
shell, and made from a species of Conus,* is probably unique, as I
cannot find that another has been reported in known collections.
I have no doubt that it is of Hawaiian origin. Mr. J.S. Emerson,
well posted in Hawaiian folklore, quoted to me this passage in a
Hawaiian song, which seems to explain the origin of the adze:
‘‘He alahee ka koi o uka,
He olé ka koi o kai.”’
This Mr. Emerson translates for me as, ‘‘The alahee (tree) fur-
nishes the material for the adze inland, the olé (shell) for the adze
at the seashore.’’
Another specimen, a heavy wooden fork with two broad, taper-
ing tines (length 12.9 inches, of tines 8, width at crotch 4, points
2.6 apart at centres) is believed by the owner to have been used
for gouging out the eyes of the human victims offered in sacrifice.
The tines are the same distance apart as the middle of the aver-
age native eyes. We have never found any reference to any in-
strument for this purpose, however, although the following has
been recorded concerning eye gouging. Malo (Emerson trans.,
p. 229), describing part of the ceremony of consecrating a /uakinz,
said: ‘‘on this occasion Kahoalii (title of a man representing the
god) ate an eye plucked from the man whose body had been laid as
an offering on the lele, together with the eyes of the pig.’’ On the
same matter Fornander wrote (Polynesian Race, I, 131): ‘‘the left
eye of the victim was offered to the presiding chief, who made a
semblance of eating it, but did not.’’ Since the receipt of the
Henriques fork I have learned of the existence of others of wood and
hope to learn more of the subject when I can interview the owners.
Another specimen, a sled or toboggan, made of breadfruit
wood, is illustrated in Fig. 3, 4. It was built like the bow of a
native canoe, with the upward curve of the prow ending in the
usual finish called the zhw. Behind the ihu isa block correspond-

ing in position with the malu or umalu, the dasher of the canoe.
The dish-like body of the toboggan is nearly flat on the bottom
and curves but slightly upward towards the edges where it rises
more abruptly to the rim. The rim begins at the block and con-
tinues along both sides to the rear end. ‘There is no rim across
the rearend. The total length is 44.8 inches, width 15.5, length
of body 34.5, height of rim from bottom 1.5, thickness of bottom
1.2 in middle and .5 at rear; block 7.2 long and 3.5 high and wide.
Through the neck, between the ihu and the umalu, two holes
have been vertically cut (not drilled). At various points along
the lower edge other holes have been cut obliquely (Fig. 4), one
on either side near the middle, two on the left and one on the right
near the end. ‘They were skilfully made on a slant so as not to
interfere with the upper surface (Fig. 3). When the specimen
was found there were heavy cords of braided coconut fibre attached
through the perforations. The upper surface is smooth, but the
lower has been much scratched and scored, as might result from
dragging a heavy load over stones or gravel. ‘Toward the rear
end this surface has been nearly worn through, the thickness
having been reduced more thana half. All the cutting has been
done with a blunt implement, and the specimen is undoubtedly
ancient. It was found in 1905 in a cave at Hookena, Hawaii,
together with a small surfboard of breadfruit wood and several
stone implements. When found both toboggan and surfboard
were impregnated with salt.
Following the discovery, it was recollected by the.older natives
at Hookena (according to a brief article in the Commercial Adver-
tiser, Dec. 6, 1905) that their parents and grandparents had told
them of a certain chiefess named Kaneamuna who lived at Hoo-
kena in the time of Keawenuiaumi, king of Hawaii. Her princi-
pal amusements were riding the surfboard and coasting down hill.
It was also said that for the latter purpose she had a course built
on a hill back of Hookena anda sled made. After her death her
sled and surfboard disappeared, and it was common belief that
those found in the cave were hers.
[60]
Director's Annual Report. 21
The only type of sled previously known to us, is that with
long, slender runners. This Museum possesses one in complete
condition and runners for two more. Our completed specimen,
received from the former Government Museum, consists of a pair
of slender runners 11.5 feet long, 2.3 inches deep and 1 wide, set
on edge, and kept in place—1.5 inches apart in front and 3 in
rear (2.5 and 4 to centres )—by cross braces lashed to the runners
at intervals of about 11 inches. On the braces is placed a platform
of wood, bambu and matting, 4 inches wide, covering the runners
except three feetin front. The total height is 4.7 inches.* Another
pair of runners in the Museum collection is two feet longer, but
otherwise identical with those of the complete specimen. All the
runners are made of a very hard, durable wood. The sliding was
done on steep hillsides on a course made by clearing a track ten
to twenty feet wide and covering this with dry grass. In some
places the course was paved or built up with stone and covered in
the same way. Remains of both kinds may still be found. The
sport was exclusively for men of chiefly rank, who occasionally
came to their death thereby. When sliding they lay full length
on the sled and the skill required may be judged from its width.
Women did not follow this sport, although they were very expert
on the surfboard. I do not know if the all-pervading kapu system
was the reason, but corpulence was a point of female beauty among
the old Hawaiians, which would naturally make this sled unpopu-
lar with the sex. I can find but one reference to a woman essay-
ing the feat (Ellis, Tour Through Hawaii, London, 1827, p. 291),
where Pele, the female Vulcan, appeared in human form and
challenged a chief on Hawaiitoarace. ‘‘Pele, less acquainted
with the art of balancing herself on the narrow sledge than her
)
rival, was beaten.... An expected result of such an unbecom-
ing attempt on the part of a woman.
*This sled was found in a burial cave in Puna, Hawaii, by the late Rufus
Lyman and by him given to King Kalakaua, from whom it came to the Goy-
ernment Museum. It is the most perfect specimen known.
[6r]
22 Director's Annual Report
Returning to the Henriques specimen, we get some light on
the use of the toboggan from the fact that under the ancient system
women of certain high rank were not permitted to walk—they were
carried. Itseems to me that this specimen may well have been the
private car of some chiefess who preferred this mode of traveling.
In support of this I would refer to the position of the side ropes
placed so as not to interfere with the seating space; the number of
ropes, indicating that numerous retainers were at command, and
their arrangement, such that the toboggan could be perfectly con-
trolled and so avoid an accident that might upset the august person-
age or cause herdiscomfort. Were the toboggan intended for human
couveyance the position naturally taken would be a seat, cross-
legged or otherwise, with the weight of the body on the rear end of
the sled and the block asa brace for the feet. The excessive wear
on the under surface at this place indicates sucha probability. The
precautions taken and the number of men required would hardly
be necessary, and the wear on the under surface would have been
more evenly distributed were the sled used for the transportation of
freight. The fact that the toboggan was impregnated with salt,
and its resemblance to the bow of a canoe savors more of the sea
than the hills; the presence of salt would be accounted for if one
use of the sled was to carry Kaneamuna to and from the ocean;
it was stated that surf riding was one of her amusements.
The use of any sled by a woman must have been a departure from
custom which was sufficiently novel to impress it on the memory of
fourteen generations, but it could not have become general among
women, or there would have been no comment at all. The use of
a sled of this type must have been an isolated case, or infrequent, or
it would hardly have escaped attention so long. I cannot but be-
lieve that the tradition refers to the Henriques specimen.
THE GREGSON SPECIMEN.
An interesting specimen has been loaned by Mr. Harry
Gregson (Fig. 5). Itis of heavy, laminated basalt. The bulb-
ous end is fairly evenly divided into four lobes by broad, shallow
[62]
‘NHINIDHdS NOSOHUD AHL °S

grooves. On the bottom the middle of one groove seems to have
been slightly deepened by a sharp implement in one or two spots,
but as all cuts run in the same direction as the grain of the stone,
they may only be the result of the peculiar chipping of the material.
Otherwise the pittings clearly show that the specimen was shaped
by pecking. The smaller end is flat and wide, is perforated and
has two notches on each edge for cord. The process of making
the hole differed somewhat from the usual drilling through from
both sides. In this specimen depressions were pecked on both
sides to about one-third of the depth, and the rest drilled. The
depression on one side occupies nearly the whole width of the end.
Drilling a hole through stone is an advance on the pecking method,
and it would seem that the specimen was completed by a different
worker than the one who beganit. It is 6.6 inches high, 3.9 wide,
3.3 thick, and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces.
When found by Mr. Gregson in a cave in North Kohala,
Hawaii, in 1900, it was attached to an olona cord 30 inches long
and about a third ofaninchthick. The cord was of four-ply twist,
not braid, which after being run twice through the hole was divided
into strands which passed along the grooves at the edge, level
with the hole, and tightened in the channels separating the lobes.
The cord was so decayed that it fell to pieces when the specimen
was found, but Mr. Gregson said that the free end was finished off,
not cut. The short and heavy cord and the weight of the stone
suggest a form of canoe breaker, such as described by Dr. Brig-
ham in his essay on Hawaiian Stone Implements (Memoirs I, 341).
Mr. Gregson said it was an ikoi for tripping up and striking a man.

A FEW NOTES ON SOME OF THE MORE NOTEWORTHY SPECIMENS
IGN ANSOeS) (CONCIeIaSarICON] Is NYE ADE THRICE NSC
Among the drums is one much smaller than usual but of good
workmanship, shown in Fig. 6, No. 11,386. The wood is a dark,
rather heavy wood; the interior well bored, slightly flaring toward
the base which is open. ‘The membrane is of snake or lizard skin,
well worn, attached by many folds of vegetable fibre. Wings on
either side seem to have been intended for attaching feathers;
each is pierced by six holes drilled from each side. The handle
is carved from the same block. The upper and lower thirds of the
drum still show the cuts of the tool that formed them, while the
middle section is much smoother. In playing on the drum a not
unpleasant sound is produced by striking with the back of the
finger nails, and it is louder than would be expected from the
small size of the drum.
Of the carved spatulas (Fig. 7), the wood is the same as the
drum. ‘The handle is for use evidently as well as for the display
of ornament. In No. 11,398 it is formed by two human figures,
one above the other in totem-pole style, the upper one being
slightly smaller, but of the identical pattern. The cutting is deep
under the chin separating the arms and hands, and in the same
way the legs are completely separated. [he heads are peculiar:
the eyes circular cuts without pupils; the nose long and continu-
ing the line of the forehead, while the mouth is almost invisible in
the lower chin; both toes and fingers are wanting. ‘The total
length is 17.5 inches.
Of the same style is the larger spatula, No. 11,399, which
measures 24.2 inches, but the two men forming the handle are
placed back to back, and there is a side ornament on the stem

reminding one of the closed blade of a penknife. Both this and
the previous example seem too large for lime spatulas. No.
11,397, the upper middle figure has the same two men for
handle, but their bodies are very attenuated; the workmanship
is coarser, but the implement is better suited for a lime spatula,
as it is only 8.2 inches long. No. 11,393 has a handle of very
different form, simply of four wings which can easily be grasped
with four fingers; its length is 11.6 inches. These seem to be

made in the Trobriand Islands, and from there distributed largely
in trade.
Papuans, like many other savages, depend largely on belts,
even if only of cord, to indicate whether the abdominal region is
extending beyond the fashionable bounds, and the present speci-
men, No. 11,356, from the Gulf region of New Guinea would seem
a very sufficient compressor. It is made of bark, well incised,
the pattern being emphasized by the lime background: the name
is kava or kaba. ‘The width is 5.5 inches, and the circumference
of the belt when worn is 28 inches.

In the New Hebrides the yam is as much a staple food as the
kalo of the Hawaiians, and much labor is expended on the appa-
ratus for its preparation. The yam dish shown in Fig. g is of
average size and superior workmanship. ‘The terminal handles
seem to be liked by the New Hebrideans, as many of the other
dishes are so provided, as seen in Fig. 11. The pounders shown
in Fig. 10 are all tapering and more or less ornamented with carv-
ing. ‘The dish is very heavy and the wood rather hard. It is
from the Kitia district of Santo, as the residents generally call
Espiritu Santo (Australia del Espiritu Santo as named by Quirés).
The island is 75x4o miles and rises to a height of 4ooo feet. Like
most of the New Hebrideans the inhabitants were cannibals, and
some are still inclined that way. We have in the Museum tro-
phies of their cannibal feasts.
Fig. 11 shows some types of dishes of curious form, clumsy
but not easily broken, more like a scoop than a dish; the last in
the row with a channel at the end as if for pouring gravy. The
numbers are in order, 11,518, 11,519, 11,520. ‘The length of the
longest is 21.5 inches.
A very interesting set of platters is shown in Fig. 12. These
come to us labelled kava dishes and the patina on the wood sus-
tains the name, but their form is flat so that they could hardly be
called saucers. Some, as 11,533 and 11,530, have a handle at
opposite sides; one, 11,528, has a double handle at one end, and
Pdewteot ll.527, 10,532, 11,531 and 11,529, have to, be content
with one only. The size of these plates can be seen by the scale
at the base of the group.
The New Hebridean pottery has been noted through the sur-
rounding islands as a desired article of barter, and the latakias are
often heavily laden with the product of the Espiritu Santo kilns.
We have in this Museum several pots of good form and hard
material but none so elaborately decorated; the quality of strength
is, however, wanting in this bowl (Fig. 13). In the Etheridge
collection are several other examples, none that have apparently
been tested by use.
The two adzes from Paama are armed with portions of a shell,
apparently a large volute, and are numbered 11,667 and 11,668.
The carving is of the same design in both, but one has two masks

on the handle, the other only one; the lashings of both are volumi-
nous and neatly wound, but while the second has a rounded and
perfectly usable handle, the first and more elaborately carved one
has a very angular handle that suggests usage merely ceremonial.
The little island Paama in the channel between the volcanoes
Ambrym and Api, with the larger Malekula not far to the west,
is well adapted for a trade centre. Fig. 14.
From the Kiriwina group are certain weapons perhaps cere-
monial, for they hardly seem equal to a real fight; perhaps the
serrate ones are reminiscent of the shark-teeth armature of Gilbert
and other groups. The workmanship is rather poor, although
better in the flat No. 11,413 (third in illustration). The serrate
ones are numbered 11,412, 11,411 and 11,410. The longest speci-
men in Fig. 15 is 26inches. The common Ambrym or Malekula
club with arm sling is in most large museums, but the present
specimens (Fig. 16) are of better finish than common. No. 11,600
with the sling from Malekula, and 11,651 from Ambrym are beau-
tifully made and polished.
A collection from this region of the Pacific without face masks
would be questionable, and we have in Fig. 17 one of the least
horrid in this collection. It is from Malekula, a district famous
for cannibalism, of which the mouth gives an impression, but the
high forehead and quiet eyes seem to add respectability to the
diet. As the masks were generally used in religious dances they
were often of flimsy construction and were destroyed at the end of
the ceremonial for which they were constructed; but the present
one is carved in wood, and with paint and no gum to distort the
outline it would stand repeated usage.
The very conspicuous two-horned head dress of the image
shown in Fig. 18 makes it doubtful whether it should be classed
with human or divine beings; the nose and eyes are divine in the
New Hebridean idea, while the head dress and mouth are rather
human. The treatment of the upper arm constricted by a tight
armlet is well marked; so is the belt; there are bracelets, and
the fingers are indicated folded on an empty stomach. The
sexual attributes have been partially amputated, and the legs
are strongly suggestive of elephantiasis; the toes are long and in
full number, and the heels are decidedly African. On the whole

the human attributes are probably in the majority; but then, the
gods of Olympus were at times very human! The extreme height
is 38 inches.
The last specimen in this interesting collection to which I shall
call attention is a well-carved figure in such an opisthotonic pos-
ture as to suggest that it was a boat figure or figure head. The
closed eyes, however, militate against that theory, and except
through the large ear borings (the right-hand one is broken away)
there seems no means of attaching the uncomfortable figure to any
support. There is, however, a portion of fresh cut surface between
the shoulder blades which may be the place from which a cleat has
been broken or removed. The buttocks are prominent, but the
coccygeal process is prolonged into a rudimentary tail. The
wide-spread legs (in one the thigh, in the other the lower leg is
longer) would perhaps be the posture of a dance, but the closed
eyes—altogether the chubby and rather attractive figure is a
puzzle. ‘The fingers are well done and the nails are very distinct;
the right thumb and a portion of the adjoining forefinger have
been broken off. The small determined mouth contrasts strangely
with the enlarged nostrils: if the hair is intended it can only be
wool. No. 11,572, from Big Bay. Figs. 19, 20.
In such a collection as this it is easy to call attention to pub-
lished accounts of similar things when such accounts exist, but
there are always questions that a student of ethnology wishes to
ask of the native makers themselves, that he cannot find in the
accounts of travelers or even of missionaries who have for years
resided among these primitive peoples. I have seen such a dish
used in such a way in Java, but what right have I to record that
a similar dish is used in the same way and for the same purpose
on the island of Ambrym? We know so little of the woods used
to fashion into dishes or images, dance clubs or paddles, and if I
were on the shores of Ambrym I could probably persuade some
capable person to point out to me the tree from which this club or
that dish had been cut. Again one could see how the dishes were
used, and how the dances conducted and the many slight but im-
portant questions that an unscientific collector would never think
of asking, but which often make the difference between knowledge
and ignorance concerning a specimen.

I have omitted reference to the rare and interesting specimens of
prepared and deformed skulls in this collection owing to the non-
arrival of craniometric instruments ordered from Ziirich. Among
the decorated crania is one complete skull without artistic additions.
It is understood that the other fourteen are relics of cannibal feasts.

Director’s Report for 1015
ALTHOUGH the Annual Reports of this Museum are primarily
intended to record the activities of the staff and the apparent
results of their work during the year, they must also serve as brief
chapters in the history of our institution which has now passed
the first quarter century of its existence, and in view of the
lamented death of its founder on June 7, 1915, it may be permitted
me to briefly review the connection of Charles Reed Bishop with
the Museum to which he gave the name of his beloved wife, who
died October, 1884.
Dr. Charles McEwan Hyde, afterward secretary of the Museum
Trustees, should be credited with the earliest suggestion of a
museum of Hawaiian material, and Dr. Hyde’s proposal was
eagerly seconded by Honorable Sanford Ballard Dole, afterwards
president of the Museum Trustees, and Mr. Bishop was inclined
to follow out a part of the suggestion. When the project took
form in Mr. Bishop’s mind for the erection of a memorial museum
in the midst of the premises of the schools Bernice Pauahi had
founded, Mr. Dole wrote to me (then living in Boston), noting
the importance of having it a general museum of things Polynesian,
and situated in the town, as there were then no easy means of
getting to the rather out of the way schools. Inreply I urged the
former residence of the Bishops, built by Paki, Haleakala, on King
Street, as a suitable site for such a museum, and suggested the
inclusion of the existing Government Museum in the Judiciary
Building, but Mr. Bishop was not then ready to adopt the more
elaborate plan, and clung to the idea of a somewhat private and
limited museum to preserve the combined Pauahi and Emma
treasures (still the most important Hawaiian collection in the
[119] 3
4 Director's Annual Report.
present Museum), the whole to be in the care and custody of the
teachers of the Kamehameha Schools.’
When I transferred my residence to these islands in 1888, I
thought little of the school cabinet plan and for two years was
busily engaged, with the assistance of Mr. Acland Wansey, in
collecting material and especially photographs all over the group
for a history of the Hawaiian Islands which Mr. Bishop had
engaged me to prepare, and I do not remembe1 visiting the school
grounds until the Museum building (the first of cv¢ stone on the
islands), had been erected, when one afternoon Mr. Bishop came
to my house on School Street and asked me to drive out with him
and see what had been done. It was my first view of a building
in which I took little interest, for I knew what school cabinets of
curiosities almost invariably become in untrained and uninterested
hands, and the appearance of the bare walls and unfloored interior
was not in the least attractive to me, and I did not visit it again
until Mr. Bishop showed me the Emerson collections and some other
rather unimportant material that he had partly displayed in the
basement of his house on Emma Street, and asked me to arrange
these in the new building which had by that time been floored,
and the kahili cases built into the smaller of the two exhibition
rooms. AsI remember, none of the Emma collection or the choicer
of Mrs. Bishop’s treasures were in the basement; indeed it was
months before the whole of these came to the Museum.
I had already photographed the kahilis ez masse in the garden
of the Emma Street house, and also groups of other Hawaiian
‘A chapter in the history of this Museum hitherto unknown to the
Director has been called to his attention by a member of the Board of Trustees.
It seems that the Princess Pauahi and Queen Emma had discussed the import-
ance of preserving the Hawaiian relics they both had in notable numbers,
but no definite plan of a museum was reached when Mrs. Bishop died bequeath-
ing her collection to her husband. The following year the Queen died leaving
her collection by a codicil to her will to be joined to that of her old friend in
such a museum as might later be decided upon. The codicil was not legally
witnessed and could not be probated. A. J. Cartwright, the trustee of the
estate, arranged a deed of gift signed by all the heirs or legatees and the
intention of Queen Emma so expressed was carried out and her treasures
joined those already in Mr. Bishop’s hands.
[120]

antiquities in the collection, for illustration in my proposed history,
and I of course went out to Kalihi to see how it would be possible
to arrange the specimens in the two very moderate sized rooms at
my disposal before agreeing to Mr. Bishop’s proposal: it was a
rather uninteresting interruption to my historical studies, and
besides, except for the cases in the Kahili Room, there were neither
cases nor shelves, nor even tables for the exhibition or even stor-
age of the very miscellaneous collection. The interior walls were
all white plaster, and the koa stairway, very ugly architecturally,
looked too bright against the plaster walls. Mr. Bishop did not
turn the Museum over to the Trustees untilit had gathered within
its walls all that he had in the way of Hawaiian relics.
I had at first some difficulty in getting cheap redwood cases
with common glass of very poor quality in which to place the more
delicate specimens, but I felt that there was the foundation for a
good ethnological museum if it could be properly housed and dis-
played, with such additions as were needed to fill /acunz, and I
undertook the not very interesting task. If it had not been for the
full note books I had made in my previous visit to these islands in
1864-65, I could have done little in cataloguing the heterogeneous
mass spread out on the temporary board tables; but there came
another help in the acquisition of the Government Museum collec-
tions which contained many much needed specimens, although
many were decayed and insect eaten owing to neglect or ignorance
of museum methods.
I have mentioned that when I first heard of Mr. Bishop’s pro-
posed museum I had suggested the incorporation of this Govern-
ment collection, but for some time there was considerable opposition
on the part of the Government rather than on Mr. Bishop’s part,
when a chance remark of the Attorney-General, that he needed
more room and that the visitors to the Museum disturbed his
department, gave me the hint and I urged him to use all his great
influence to secure the transfer of the collections to the new Kalihi
building and thus putting at the disposal of the law department
[121]
6 Director's Annual Report.
the needed adjoining room. I was successful, and was superin-
tending the packing of the specimens for removal when Captain
Mist, secretary in the Foreign Office, came hurriedly in and told
me that the ‘‘Charleston’’ was signalled with her flag at half-mast,
and as Kalakaua was returning on her it was probable that he
was dead. Iat once went out and got all the help I could, engaged
all the express carts to bring me packing cases, and before the end
of that eventful day the whole collection was dumped on the floors
of the new museum. A change of government might keep the
museum in its old place for the present, and I would take no
chances.
In those early days the interest of Mr. Bishop centred in the
preservation and exhibition of the relics of Mrs. Bishop, and it
was some time before I thought best to broach my plan for a
general Polynesian museum. At first he did not take kindly to it,
but at last consented to build Polynesian Hall, although he finally
left the islands before the cases were placed in this first addition
to the original edifice. Inthe meantime he had transferred me
together with the building and its collections to a Board of Trustees,
and I, finding that Dr. Alexander had plans for writing a more
extensive history of the Hawaiian Islands than he had attempted
in his brief history of these islands already published, withdrew
in favor of one so much more competent, and devoted my time
entirely to the installation of the Polynesian exhibits in the new
hall and in the preparation of plans for a more extensive Hawaiian
Hall, even then needed.
Beyond this I need not follow the history, but I must mention
the last connection he had with this Museum when he had passed
his ninety-third birthday. On April 14, 1915, I had taken a large
photograph of Hawaiian Hall interior to send to him, and this he
had framed, and he expressed his pleasure to me in the last note I
had from his pen. In May, my secretary, Mr. Dean H. Lake,
called on him at his residence in Berkeley, and Mr. Bishop took
down the picture and asked Mr. Lake a number of questions as to
[122]

the specimens appearing in the view, showing a vivid interest in the
Museum. Mr. Lake asked him: ‘‘What shall I tell Dr. Brigham
of your health?’’ Hesaid: ‘‘Tell him that I am well, but not
very well.’’ T'wo weeks after this the end came, June 7th, and
later we gathered in the old Kawaiahao church at the impressive
service over his ashes, and followed in the long procession to the
Royal Vault in Nuuanu Valley where he had placed the remains
of his wife, and there among the relics of the Kamehamehas his
ashes repose, and the vault was permanently sealed. His earthly
connection with the Museum he had founded and endowed ended,
but his memory has gone over the scientific world where the pub-
lications of his museum are known, and will be cherished by the
workers in the Museum, and the students who visit it. The
people of Honolulu will not forget the benefactor in this and so
many other generous gifts."
The year at the Museum has not fallen behind its predecessors
in work accomplished and in public interest shown in its exhibits.
In the latter part of June the Director was sent to represent this
Museum at the annual meeting of the American Association of
Museums held in San Francisco on the 6th-gth of July; and this
he found fruitful in suggestions, pleasant acquaintances made,
hospitable entertainments and visits to choice collections, and he
availed himself of the opportunity to present our difficulties in
obtaining alcohol for specimens, and on the increased postage on
our publications, which under the new parcel postal rules cost
more for postage to places in the United States than to Europe,
the East Indies, Africa and Australia. All of which troubles were
referred to suitable committees to present the same to Government
officials in charge of such matters. The visit gave also an oppor-
tunity to see the expositions at San Diego and San Francisco; on
‘It is probable that an extended notice of Mr. Bishop may later be issued
by the Trustees in separate form; hence the brevity of this memorandum.
[124 |
Director's Annual Report. 9
all of which matters the Director has reported to the Trustees, and
his communications to the Association have been published in its
Annual Report lately issued. These reunions of curators and
workers in the different museums of the country give the best
possible opportunities for exchange of ideas and mutual encourage-
ment, and it is hoped that at some future time the Association
may meet here: such was the wish, I believe, of the majority of
the members of the Association gathered in San Francisco.
REPORT OF A TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO AS DELEGATE REPRE-
SENTING THE BISHOP MUSEUM AT THE MEETING OF THE
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS, JULY 6-9, IQI5.
In rendering a report of my mission as your delegate to the
San Francisco meeting of the American Association of Museums,
I find it difficult to confine myself strictly to the doings of the four
days of the meeting, there were so many interesting matters on
the journey and during the days waiting for a steamer passage
home; but I will, as briefly as possible, describe the meeting and
its results.
I arrived from Vancouver late on July 4th, and although
Monday was a holiday it was utilized by first calling to secure
my passage home on the Sierra, and then visiting the California
Academy of Sciences in its temporary rooms on Sansome Street,
to obtain preliminary information of the coming meeting. It was
my good fortune to find there Dr. Dickerson, who furnished me
with a programme of the expected work, and then showed me
the splendid collection of Galapagos secured by the Academy
Expedition.
Tuesday morning we assembled in the hall of the Academy,
and after the formal organization and reports, I was able to present
our difficulties in regard to the duty on alcohol, and also our postal
troubles. In both cases committees were appointed to consider
the matter and bring it to the attention of the Federal Government.
[125]
IO Director's Annual Report.
A description of the new building of the Academy in Golden Gate
Park, written by the Director, Dr. B. W. Evermann, then absent
in the East, was read by Dr. Roy F. Dickerson. A little later
in the day we inspected the single section of this one-storied
building which was nearly ready for occupancy. At1 p.m. we
lunched in Golden Gate Park as guests of the City, and at two
we visited the Museum of Anthropology of the University of
Calfornia, at present in one of the buildings of the Affiliated
Colleges near the park. This contains the extensive collections
purchased by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst at a cost of over a million dollars,
and presented to the University, which has at present no suitable
building for its proper exhibition. In this vast archaeological
collection are a few good specimens from Hawaii and other Pacific
Ocean groups. Inthe lecture room we were comfortably seated,
and there listened to a number of papers on museum subjects,
among them an interesting one on an inexpensive temporary
museum equipment, illustrated by the ingenious methods put in
practice by Mr. E. W. Gifford in housing a vast collection for a
few hundred dollars. Discussion also arose on the union of science
and art in museums, and I was moved to make a rather lengthy
address on the need of art in scientificmuseums. It was not until
I saw the many yards of stenographic report writhing on the floor
that I was aware of the time I had occupied, but judging by the
frequent applause, it was not tedious to my audience.
Later in the afternoon we visited the Memorial Museum in
the Park, and in that rather crowded building we enjoyed the
description by Prof. George Barron of the ‘‘Pioneer Boom’’. In
the evening at the San Francisco Institution of Art, Mr. Oliver
P. Farrington gave the presidential address on ‘‘The Rise of
Natural History Museums’’, and the Secretary, Mr. Paul M. Rea,
spoke on ‘‘America’s Oldest Museum’’, but I was too weary with
the day’s work to attend this interesting meeting.
On Wednesday, July 7, we met at 8:45 a. m. at the Bureau of
Mining to take the Key Route to Oakland, and at ten we were at
[126]
Director's Annual Report. EE
the Oakland Public Museum. I was especially interested in this
for I had been repeatedly consulted by the late Curator Mr. C. P.
Wilcomb, and I have been regularly invited to attend public cele-
brations here. ‘The installation is in a dwelling house not intended
for a museum, but it has been very ingeniously adapted to a most
pleasing exhibition of what should greatly interest and instruct
the public. Especially attractive is the Colonial kitchen and rooms
containing furniture and implements of our New England ancestors.
I did not expect to see so much on the Pacific Coast or outside of
Salem, Plymouth, or Mt. Vernon. A convenient lecture room has
been added to the house in which, after an address of welcome, we
listened to an interesting account, read by Mrs. D. W. de Veer,
of Mr. Wilcomb’s work in building up this most creditable museum.
The Secretary spoke of the aims of the American Association of
Museums, and following this came the election of officers for the
ensuing year.
At 12:30 we were the guests of the City at luncheon in the
fine new Oakland Hotel, where we were joined by Mr. Wm. H.
Hall, formerly taxidermist in the Bishop Museum. After various
speeches, cars were were provided to take us to the Piedmont Art
Gallery in a private park, and then on through an attractive
country to the University of California in Berkeley, where we had
an interesting inspection of museums and grounds and were treated
to an exhibition of fire-making and arrow head chipping by a
California Indian, Nishi. Our dinner was at the Faculty Club,
famous for its hospitality.
At 7:30, in the Administration Building, we had several inter-
esting papers, one by Prof. Homer R. Dill on ‘‘Building an Educa-
tional Museum as a Function of the University’’, and I, in response
to a request, explained my views of the great educational value of
museum work and how members of a staff could easily be trained
in photography and drawing and more generally in the use of eye
and hand. I claimed that a museum was not merely to interest
and in some measure to educate visitors, but was, in fact, a great
[127]
12 Director's Annual Report.
training school for developing faculties of observation and execu-
tion to be applied to one or several departments. I explained that
the members of the Bishop Museum staff were not, one a botanist,
another an ethnologist, another a conchologist, but each was
interested in the work of all and ready to help in collecting or
preserving for all. If one isa more than usually skilful photo-
grapher or draughtsman he puts his activities in use in teaching
or helping a colleague who had not acquired as much skill.
Prof. Janius Henderson gave us an illustrated account of ‘‘An
Early Venture in Habitat Groups’’. In returning, we crossed
the bay conscious of a well-filled day.
Thursday, July 8, we met at the Southern Pacific station to
to take the nine o’clock train for Palo Alto where automobiles in
plenty were waiting to take us on the many pleasant drives through
the city and about the University grounds, now greatly improved
since the earthquake disaster. At noon we lunched as guests of
the Leland Stanford Junior University, and at 1:30 we were in one
of the lecture rooms of the museum where the President, Dr. J.C.
Branner, gave us a most cordial address of welcome. Mr. H.C.
Henderson gave an interesting and instructive account of the
“Origin of Moving Pictures’’. Views shown of the museum
immediately after the earthquake were especially instructive.
We visited the chapel, which is still in the hands of restorers, but
to my taste this building is too gorgeous and over-decorated to be
conducive to religious mentality. I have several times visited
this University, and rejoice in the great external improvement
visible on every side.
On Friday, July 9, there was a business meeting at the
Academy; in the afternoon a harbor excursion on the Spreckels’s
yacht; and in the evening, a reception by Mrs. A. B. Spreckels
at her private museum, 2024 Vallejo Street, which I did not attend.
Leaving San Francisco that evening to pass the week-end
with a nephew and niece of mine in San Gabriel, I arrived in Los
Angeles the following morning, and there had delightful motor
[128]
Director's Annual Report. 13
rides through the orchards and by the residences of Pasadena and
even to the base of the Sierra Madre mountains. We also visited
the City Museum of Los Angeles where I especially desired to see
the wonderful skeleton of Alephas Imperator which is so large that
it makes the skeleton of a mammoth near by almost insignificant.
This fine skeleton, together with the remains of the famous sabre-
toothed tiger, was found in the asphalt beds and is very perfectly
preserved although of a dark color from the preserving medium.
Monday I went to San Diego for the beautiful exhibition
there. Apart from the very artistic arrangement of building
and grounds, I was much attracted by the United States exhibit
of ‘‘The History of Man’’, arranged by Ales Hrdlicka, showing
the early skulls from Pithecanthropos up. It was, in many ways,
the clearest exposition I had seen. ‘There were also excellent
casts of the monuments at Quirigua in Guatemala that I had
photographed many years ago. Apart from the fruits, the ex-
hibits were good, but neither exhaustive nor remarkable, but
later, in viewing the San Francisco exhibition (which I had as
yet only seen by night, illumined by the Fourth of July fire-
works), I was grateful to the San Diego people for excluding
many horrors and monstrosities from their grounds.
On my return to San Francisco I went early in the morning
to the exhibition and walked on and on until five in the afternoon,
with only a rest for luncheon. I repeated my visit on several days
but did not make so longatramp. ‘The tanks ofthe United States
Fish Commission were well stocked, well kept, and most interest-
ing—a great contrast to the attempted exhibition of fish in the
Hawaiian Building near by. Inthe Canadian Building was per-
haps the most attractive exhibit, although the taxidermy of the
specimens generally was not good. ‘The Swedish Building had
much to attract, and best of all a young gentleman who could
give any reasonable information about his country and its exhibits.
I never read so good an account of Sweden as was given, well
illustrated, in its official catalogue.
[129]
14 Director's Annual Report
I need not extend my description of this great exhibition, for
most of you have seen it. I again visited the Museum of Anthro-
pology in the Affiliated Colleges, where Mr. E. W. Gifford spent
much time in showing me the treasures in his charge, and on
which he lectures Sunday afternoons. By his invitation I met,
that evening at a dinner at the Faculty Club, Drs. Waterman and
Sapir, and also an old friend of mine, Dr. Setchel, Professor of
Botany in the University of California.
I was greatly interested in the railroad up Tamalpais, a moun-
tain that I had climbed fifty-one years ago. Few, alas, of the old
redwoods remained, except in the wooded glen named in honor of
my departed friend, John Muir.
Just before leaving San Francisco, Dr. B. W. Evermann
returned from the East, and renewed his promise to come to this
Museum at the earliest possible date.
Greatly refreshed by meeting many old and new friends and
by the bracing coolness of the climate, I returned on the China,
July 30th.
NEW STEEL STORAGE CASES.
When the Laboratory building was planned it was hoped that
in addition to the fire-proof nature of the structure, cases could be
found suitable for the protection of perishable specimens such as
bird skins, kapa and mats, in this climate abounding in indefatig-
able indigenous and imported insect pests, but for some time none
were found quite satisfactory. For birds especially, of which the
Museum has a large and rare collection of the native avifauna,
and some good representative specimens from other parts of the
Pacific and its shores, this protection was very necessary. ‘The
Henshaw collection of Hawaiian birds is very fine, and many
of the specimens collected for the Museum by A. Seale in the
southeast Pacific and Solomon Islands are of value, and although
the curatorship of ornithology has been vacant for some years the
collection has been cared for, and this year steel cases have been

Chicago has been found of great service, as one man can use it as
a truck, or hoist 1000 pounds toa height of 7.7 feet, while the
jointed uprights permit it to pass through a door 6.5 feet high or
on an ordinary lift.
These steel cases were made by the Art Metal Construction
Company of Jamestown, N. Y., and as the feather cloaks—although
kept in a room darkened as far as possible while still allowing
vision when the visitor’s eye became accustomed to the shade—
were found to be fading perceptibly, this company was called upon
to make a steel case according to the designs of the Director that
would keep securely the choice cloaks and capes, while permitting
an occasional exhibition. "The case idea was suggested by a very
good one in the Dresden Museum, but the construction for our own
needs was quite different. It is well shownin Fig.5. Its dimen-
sions are, 10.5 feet in length, 7 feet in height, and 2 feet in depth.
Ordinarily it stands against the wall quite out of the way, but at the
left hand front corner is a pivot firmly planted in the masonry of the
floor on which the whole case readily turns supported on wheels
8 inches from the floor. Within the end door are six frames covered
with unbleached cotton cloth, which slide out freely, and when
drawn out are supported on a movable trestle. To these frames on
both sides are attached by a number of points the cloaks spread to
their full extent, but supported in so many places, in all readily de-
tachable, that little strain is brought upon the fabric (Figs. 6, 7).
The opening of the upper gallery of Hawaiian Hall in October
made a transfer of the botanical exhibit, including the excellent
casts of fruits indigenous to or grown in this Territory, possible,
leaving needed room for the increasing series of fish casts. We
had already placed in this gallery relics of the ancient chiefs and
the thrones and more modern relics of Hawaiian royalty, and also
some loan collections of Hawaiian matters. ‘To these have been
added temporarily collections of Australian and western Pacific
islands for which no space remained in Polynesian Hall. All this

has proved attractive to visitors, and the publication of the new
handbook to Hawaiian Hall, has made the entire hall accessible
to those who depend on guide books.
The installation of the steel storage cases on three sides of
the room devoted to the birds has put that room in excellent

order for work, and before long a complete directory of the loca-
tion of every bird skin in the trays will be completed.
During the year the Fornander Papers, which have been
entombed in boxes for many years since their purchase by Mr.
Bishop, have at last had a happy resurrection. Mr. Thomas G.
Thrum has been selected to edit these very valuable records of the

old Hawaiian folk-lore, and the results of his careful work will
soon appear in the Memoirs of the Museum, of which they will
form Volume IV. Perhaps no one could have been selected with
more knowledge of the subject, or more genuine love of the sub-
jects of which these papers treat. I believe scholars will owe a
debt of gratitude to the Trustees of this Museum for publishing in
this way the record of the thoughts of the old Hawaiians, as well
as in the preceding volumes the story of their manual dexterity.
In these days when the manufacture of old Hawaiian legends keeps
pace with the fraudulent idol-making, which, as elsewhere, has
been rife on these islands, it is well to preserve records collected
by skilled hands and educated brains in the days of comparative
primitive innocence.
Of our publications only the Director’s Annual Report has
been issued, but the printer has been kept busy with a large
amount of labels and general work, and the printing of the
Fornander papers of Hawaiian folk-lore has progressed so far in
Mr. Thrum’s editing the original Hawaiian, with translation and
notes, that the first part will be issued in the spring of 1916.
Dr. Cooke has ready for the press another of his valuable
papers on Hawaiian land shells which will be issued as part of
the incomplete Volume III of the Occasional Papers, a volume
devoted to conchology. Mr. Forbes has prepared, as will be seen
later in this report, a description of new Hawaiian plants.
Mr. Stokes has spent a great amount of time and labor on an
historical work that was left wholly without references to authori-
ties and quotations.
Work has also been done on another supplement to the Feather
Work of the old Hawalians, as a result of considerable discoveries
of material in Petrograd, Sydney and elsewhere, during the Direc-
tor’s recent journey to study museums.!
Another year should add extensively to the published work
of the Museum staff.
‘Occasional Papers, Vol. V, 5. [138]
Director's Annual Report. 23
Much photographic work has been done during the year,
putting our excellent facilities for that purpose to their full use
by Mr. Dean H. Lake, assistant to the Director. His skill and
good taste have done much not only for the illustration of the
publications, but also for permanent illustrations for the Museum:
his skill in coloring has also proved useful.
Mr. Thompson has added many fine specimens both to the
collection of fish and also to the fruits. Our collection of eels,
already large, was increased by nearly a dozen, and a number of
sharks of the more uncommon species was captured and cast.
Nearly eighty casts have been finished.
Mr. Reynolds has not only erected the rack work for the steel
storage cases, but has made many racks or stands for specimens,
frames for labels, notices and herbarium specimens, and has
altered a number of cases to such an extent that they were really
made over; he has also attended to the occasional repairs needed
on our extensive buildings.
Now that the department of Exhibition has been separated
from the general work of the staff, I cannot do better than quote
the report to me of our very efficient Superintendent of Exhibitions,
Mrs. Helen M. Helvie:
‘“The attendance of visitors to the Museum kept up very well
during the summer, but fell away during the closing months of
the year, partly on account of the withdrawal of the Pacific Mail
steamers, and partly because many of the remaining steamers
entered port on Wednesday when the Museum is closed to the
public. Much satisfaction has been expressed by many appre-
ciative tourists at the great number and variety of the exhibits,
and general satisfaction has been expressed by all visitors at the
opening of the second gallery of Hawaiian Hall, which event
occurred October 1st. The number of visitors from Honolulu
and the outlying districts, and from the other islands has been
very good.
‘‘During the year twenty-five classes from the Oahu schools
visited the Museum, representing 685 persons. The interest of
the school children in the exhibits is very gratifying, and the
[139]

order at all times is beyond criticism; and that statement may
also be applied to visitors of every nationality.
‘“The new method of securing the felt covers on the rail cases
in Hawaiian Hall galleries by means of a neat leather strap in the
centre of each case is a great improvement. The new aluminum
checks, and the checking system for hats, sticks and parcels have
proved most satisfactory. Individual sanitary drinking cups have
been installed and have been well patronized.”’
Among distinguished visitors may be mentioned Demetrius
Anthony Magula, Director of the Mint, Petrograd; Dr. Lyman
C. Newell, Professor of Chemistry in Boston University; Dr. Th.
Mortensen of Copenhagen, studying our echinoderms; August
Busch, U.S. National Museum, Washington; Prof. Benoy Kumar
Sarkar, M.A., Allahabad, India; Dr. L. O. Howard of Washing-
ton; Dr. Wm. H. Welch, LL.D.; Dr. Simon Flexner aud qamige
and Miss G. E. Benham.

Director's Annual Report. 25
Ethnology. I quote from the report to me of Mr. J. F. G.
Stokes, the Curator:
‘“The number of specimens received during the year is satis-
factory and well up to the average, but not as large as in the
previous year.
“Through an anonymous friend of Mr. Henry Holmes the
Museum has been presented with the Helms collections of ethno-
logical and entomological material. The former portion, which
concerns my department, consists of a remarkably fine series of
Australian and Melanesian specimens, including a few from Micro-
nesia and Polynesia. The main portion of the ethnological
collection was gathered by Dr. Richard Helms in western and
south Australia where he went as the naturalist of the Elder
Exploring Expedition in 1892. It was described and illustrated
in Dr. Helms’ report on the anthropology of the expedition, in the
Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, and isa
valuable acquisition on this account. The majority of the other
specimens are well authenticated and bear a locality label or an
inscription naming the sources from which Dr. Helms received
them. It isa good collection, and has been made with judgment,
and the Museum is very grateful to Mr. Holmes’ anonymous friend.
“Other friends, to the number of fifteen, gave tangible evi-
dence of their interest, as may be seen in the lists appended. As
before, when any of the curators have been in the field, they have
gathered in all that they could that was of interest to the Museum,
and we have all helped each other’s department in this way.
The specimens received during the year have been fairly numer-
ous, but do not deserve special mention. No large collections
have been purchased during the year. An average number of
commoner specimens have been bought at the door, but the curio
stores have not offered anything worth securing.
‘‘Mr. Henriques has added forty-three specimens to his collec-
tion already on loan, the most important of which is the small
breadfruit-wood surf board, found in the cave at Hookena with
the sled described last year. The coconut scraper mentioned in
the list was made from a large cone shell, and is the first Hawaiian
specimen of the kind to be reported.
‘“Two trips were made in the field, and though not necessarily
in connection with my department the trips yielded fruit in the
[141]
26 Director's Annual Report.
form of ethnological specimens. The first was for the purpose of
securing fresh specimens of the Hawaiian rat, which, it was
generally believed, was extinct. Altogether nine were secured
in the flesh, with fragments of many skeletons, and all the material
on hand, except two live rats, were sent to Dr. Witmer Stone, of
the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, for description.
Several petrels, crustaceans and lizards were secured at the same
time. The second trip was mainly for the purpose of aiding
Mr. T. G. Thrum in the completion of his list of Hawaiian heiau.
Mr. Thrum’s work has been of great value to us in our own heiau
researches.
‘“Of other work, Dr. W. D. Alexander’s unfinished manuscript
of ‘‘A Critical History of the Hawaiian People’’ was handed to
me for the insertion, if possible, of the names of the authorities
quoted. It is highly probable that had Dr. Alexander lived to
complete his work, these authorities would have been exactly
quoted as a matter of course, and no one would be better able
than the doctor. Several months were spent among the books of
Dr. Alexander, the Historical Society and the Museum, and the
manuscript put in the best possible order for publication. I will
prepare an index after the work is in type. As authorized by the
Trustees, I engaged Mr. Y. E. Tseu to continue the platting of
the heiau from my measurements taken some years ago, and as
the platting continues I am writing out the descriptions. The
work is progressing, but not so rapidly as I expected, as the lapse
of time has necessarily made it difficult to recollect detail.’’
Entomology. ‘‘The Helms collection of insects, purchased
from the heirs of the late Dr. Richard Helms, arrived from Aus-
tralia in June, 1915, and the work of the Honorary Curator since
then has been devoted exclusively to it, cleaning and repinning
specimens where necessary, repairing those that were broken in
transit, and getting the whole in readiness for transferring to the
Museum cabinets. The collection was contained in ninety-two
insect boxes of several sizes, some of which are very undesirable
for insect preservation, and the collection will be transferred to the
new steel cabinets as soon as possible.
‘‘All the chief orders of insects are represented in this collec-
tion, but by far the greater number of specimens belong to the
[142]
Director's Annual Report. 27
Coleoptera. An estimate of the number of specimens of this order
is about 22,000, mostly Australian, but about 3000 are from New
Zealand, and some also from other islands of the Pacific. Many
are of bizarre forms and wonderful morphological structure, and
the most beautiful colors and patterns. The families of beetles
most abundantly represented are the Carabidze, Scarabzide,
Buprestide, Carambycide, Tenebrionidze, Chrysomelide and
Curculionidze. Many of the specimens are labelled, but there are
a good many undetermined species.
‘‘Kstimates of the other orders give about 500 specimens of
Orthoptera, 1500 Hemiptera, 800 Lepidoptera, 1000 Diptera, 1300
Hymenoptera, and a few Neuroptera: altogether some 27,000 or
more specimens. ‘There is much unmounted material besides.
There are many specimens of extreme interest to entomologists
in all of the orders, and the collection will be of great value for
reference when it is installed in the Museum cabinets and con-
venient for the use of the local entomologists. The Museum
is exceedingly fortunate in securing this valuable collection
from the Australian region, which is noted for its very peculiar
insect fauna, and from which specimens are sought by museums
the world over.’’
The Director would only add that the excellent and voluntary
work done by Mr. Otto H. Swezey is appreciated by Trustees
and staff.
Botany. Quoting from the report of the Curator, Charles N.
Forbes: ‘‘In addition to the usual routine work connected with
the Herbarium, which has been much the same as reported on in
previous years, an attempt has been made this year to add to the
botanical exhibits. This was made possible with the opening of
the second gallery in Hawaiian Hall. Asa beginning a number
of herbarium specimens have been mounted to illustrate the prin-
cipal families and genera composing the indigenous Hawaiian
flora. These have been placed in rail cases and wall frames. In
most cases the commonest and most widely distributed species
have been selected, but in certain instances rare species are shown
to illustrate peculiar distribution or other points of interest con-
nected with our flora. The labels have been written for the lay-
[143]
28 Director's Annual Report.
man, and point out briefly some of the interesting points connected
with the particular plant and its related species; and in some
cases this is supplemented with drawings illustrating the flowers
when inconspicuous. ‘To other specimens have been added casts
of fruit made by Mr. J. W. Thompson. All of the botanical
exhibits have been moved from the first to the second gallery in
Hawaiian Hall.
‘‘In addition to the short trips on this island, two longer trips
were made to other islands of this group. The first was a trip to
the island of Molokai as the guest of Mr. G. P. Cooke, the journey
being made both ways in this gentleman’s private launch. About
two weeks were spent on the island, and plants collected from
Keomumu to the western end. It was interesting to note the
various changes which have taken place in the flora, since the
previous visit in 1912. Perhaps one of the most interesting was
the spread of two species of introduced A/77plex, one on the west-
ern end, the other in the kiawe belt near Kaunakakai. Especial
thanks are due Mr. Cooke for his many kindnesses and aid to my
department.
‘The second long trip was to the island of Hawaii, primarily
to continue investigations of the plant invasion on lava flows
begun several years ago. For economical and other reasons these
trips into regions new to me must cover all lines as much as
possible; so a large number of plants were collected, and notes
taken on the flora as a whole. While outfitting in Hilo, which
was my base, several visits were made to surrounding regions, one
especially pleasurable one being made with Mr. D. Thaanum,
who very kindly explained how to collect land shells in the parti-
cular region.
‘“The terminal portion of the 1880-1881 iava flow is in Hilo,
and on account of the much greater rainfall the vegetation on it
is much more luxuriant than on the flows of known date on the
dry or Kona side of this island. However, I find that the conclu-
sions arrived at after a field study of the Kona flows, hold true in
all important essentials for the flows on this side of the island.
At the lower elevations on the Hilo side the place of Polypodium
pellucidum is taken by Nephrolepis exaltata. The amount and
luxuriance of vegetation is much greater, as was to be expected,
plant societies already being established on the flow of 1880-1881.
[144]
Director's Annual Report. 29
So many factors have been suggested during the field and labora-
tory work on these flows, that it is hoped several more trips may be
made before writing a general report. Now that I am personally
acquainted with this part of Hawaii, an expensive guide will not
be necessary, and this can more readily be done. ‘The only way
one can find the water holes is to take a guide, but otherwise I
have generally found them wasters of time, money and patience.
‘From Hilo my route led up through the central part of the
island, the trail following the lava flow of 1855. ‘Three camps
were made along this trail as follows: Olaa flume, Hale Loulu
and Hale Aloha. At the last the trail leaves the flow, and the
next place at which a stop was made was the Shipman ranch at
Puu Oo, which is on the slopes of Mauna Kea.
‘“This place made a convenient centre for exploring a very
large portion of the highlands within a day’s riding distance.
From here the lava flows of 1843, 1899 and the upper portion of
the 1855 flow were visited; a large portion of the Humuula Sheep
Station, to as far east as territory previously covered, was visited;
and through the kindness of Mr. W. A. Shipman, who lent horses
especially for the trip, Mauna Kea was ascended to the summit.
One night was spent ata station called Lau Maia, which is several
miles north of Puu Oo. From here the source of the Wailuku
River was visited. The rocky ravines had a most interesting flora,
one specimen of ‘“‘Ahinahina’”’ Arvgyroxiphium sandwicense, or
Silver Sword as it is called in Maui, measured nine feet in height;
the leafy portion being three feet high, the remainder being the
flowering panicle in full blossom.
‘“From Puu Oo the trail was taken across to Kilauea, stops of
several days being made at Kipuka Ahiu, near the flow of 1880-
1881; Kipuka Waiakea, not far from the flow of 1852; and at
Palakea, visiting the flow of 1823 some distance above Keawe
Wai; and finally at the Shipman ranch near Kilauea, from which
place the 1880-1881 flow on this side of Mauna Loa was visited.
The return to Hilo was by the regular route over the Government
road. ‘The disappearance of the native forest and the change of
landscape along this road has been so great since my only other
visit, which was made with Dr. Brigham in 1908, that old land-
marks like Mr. Furneaux’ house, were passed before being
recognized. [145]
30 Director's Annual Report.
‘‘Of the large number of interesting plants observed or collected
on this trip, perhaps the most remarkable was lzola mauzensis on
the slopes of Mauna Loa. This species is known to occur on
three of the islands, but always in open bogs or in swampy places;
but here it was growing under the shade of Puu Keawe, Cyathodes
Tameiamei@, on a dry aa flow at about 7000 feet elevation.
‘‘While the flora is very uniform, the scenery along the trail
from Hilo to Puu Oo is most unusual. The river of black pahoe-
hoe lava is a garden of small ohia trees, low shrubs, cyperacez
and coarse ferns, dotted by hundreds of islands a few square yards
to several acres in area, which bear dense woods of tall ohia, tree
ferns, and other plants, and sometimes large Loulu palms, /P7i?-
chardia sp., which are often heard before seen, on account of the
loud rattle and rubbing of their leaves in the wind. The lava
river is bordered by dense virgin forest composed mostly of tall ohia
and tree fern. While by no means all of these islands or kipukas
could be visited in the time allowed for the trip, as far as observed
their flora and fauna are very uniform. Apparently neither time
nor isolation has been great enough to produce biological differ-
ences in these areas isolated by the lava flow.
‘“‘After the return to Hilo, Mr. L. A. Thurston very kindly
took me over the Puna section of the Hilo railroad in a power car,
allowing me to stop at various places along the route to see the
vegetation. The lava flow of 1840 was visited, this being especially
interesting as being the first aa flow of known date where higher
plants are established. This is partly accounted for by the very
large rainfall in this section, but this flow will need investigation
in other places. This was an unusual eruption in many ways, and
there is some indication that much of this slag was old lava borne
on top of or mixed with the newer lava. At Kapoho we met Mr.
Henry Lyman who took us over other parts of Puna in his auto-
mobile, so that I saw a much greater part of this region than I had
intended this year.
‘‘As on previous excursions a great deal of kindly help has
been received from people whom I have been fortunate in meeting.
Especial thanks for help in various ways are due Messrs. L. A.
Thurston, W. A. Shipman, Luther Severance and Miss H. Sever-
arice, Messrs. C. J. Austin, R. T. Guard, Henry Lyman, D:
Thaanum, H. Dent, W. S. Rycroft, A. W. Carter and Walter C.
Shields. [146]

Pulmonata. From the report of Dr. C. M. Cooke, Jr., I quote:
‘‘For the year 1915 your Curator can report further progress.
Many of the ‘lots’ of fossil shells have been catalogued and not as
many new ‘lots’ have been received. In getting this material sorted
and catalogued the Curator has been forced, by lack of time, to place
only a small portion of each of the ‘lots’ in the collection. In some
of the deposits the shells are so thickly distributed in the earth that
as many as eight hundred whole specimens have been found to be
the average in a cubic inch of soil. What has remained (and by
far the larger portion of the ‘lots’) is carefully labeled as to date,
locality, and what catalogue numbers have been entered against
the ‘lot’. It is then stored in the laboratory. Additional speci-
mens may be sorted out at some future date if needed for further
study. Undoubtedly from six months toa year’s time might be
spent in completely sorting and cataloguing all specimens in these
fossil ‘lots’, but most of this time could be spent to more advan-
tage in other ways.
‘‘Forty-one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight (41,888)
specimens were catalogued during the year, being distributed over
2,518 catalogue numbers. The Curator collected 33,807 speci-
mens. Mr. Forbes collected 3,197, and the remainder, 4,884, were
gifts from friends of the Museum. Twenty-five thousand one
hundred and twelve (25,112), of the specimens might properly be
termed fossils. [147]
32 Director's Annual Report.
‘‘Besides short collection trips on Oahu, two visits were made
to Molokai during February and March, and one to Maui. ‘Those
to Molokai were especially to study the fossil beds along the north-
ern shore of the island and if possible to collect representative
series from each of the beds. ‘These occur along almost the whole
northern coast line from Puukapele to the extreme northwestern
point, a distance of about twelve miles as the crow flies. About
two miles of coast line have not been visited up to the present time,
and some of the localities will have to be searched over again as
the recent heavy rains have undoubtedly uncovered new surfaces
of the deposits.
‘The trip to Maui was very successful from the collecting
standpoint. Of fresh specimens, 7,793 were collected in about
three weeks, and in addition 955 fossil shells.
‘“Three large series of shells came to the Museum from Hawaii
during the year, collected by Messrs. Forbes, Thurston and
Gouveia.
‘‘A number of the fossil shells have to be specially prepared
before they can be studied. Shells that are found in earth are
boiled in a solution of Pear’s soap and syringed. ‘The result isa
clean shell which in numerous instances shows the original color
pattern. Specimens found in lime sand and earth deposits have
to be carefully cleaned with dental tools before they are fit for
study. The labor involved in preparing fit museum specimens of
fossil material is usually much more than when the specimens
are alive.
‘‘Of the remarkable species turned in during the year I will
only mention three or four. Mr. Thurston has discovered a new
species of Amastra on the island of Hawaii, which is the largest
species of this genus recorded from this island. He also obtained
two living typical specimens of Leptachatina tenutcostata Pse.,
which, so far as I know, are the only typical living examples of
this species taken since it was discovered by Pease.
‘‘Mr. Forbes found a remarkable new species of Sphyradium
and one of Aadiella on the island of Hawaii which are entirely
unlike any other species from our islands.
‘“Mr. Thurston and Mr. Gouveia each found a fragment of a
new species of Amastra. Both fragments agree rather closely and
the species belongs to the group of Amastra spherica. The
[148]
Director's Annual Report. a3
species of this group are only known, at present, from the island
of Kauai and Maui.
‘“A remarkable species of fossil Exdodonta was found by your
Curator on the Round Top road. In building the road a small
pocket of fossil earth was uncovered by the workmen. This £7do-
donta is the only close relative of the extremely rare /72dodonta
stellula Glid. which is not at present represented in our collection.
‘““The manuscripts prepared by your Curator for the Manual
of Conchology, dealing with Auriculella, Elasmias, Tornatillina,
Tornatillides and Tornatillaria, have nearly all appeared during the
year. The Memoir on Exdodonta has received a good deal of at-
tention during the year, and work on one of the groups has been
completed. A shorter paper on new species of Amastra which
have come to the Museum since Dr. Pilsbry’s final publication is
in preparation, and as soon as all new species have been catalogued
will be finished.
“Mr. W. H. Hoogs, Jr., very kindly gave his collection of
Hawaiian land shells to the Museum on November oth. This

The Museum Library. ‘‘The annual reports of the Libra-
rian during the five years since the removal of the Library to the
new wing having been lists of accessions only, some details in
regard to the nature and progress of the work in this department
of the Museum may be of interest.
“Library Records and Cataloguing. 'The records of the Library
consist of two accession registers in book form—one for serials, re-
ceived chiefly by exchange, the other for single books and pam-
phlets—and an alphabetical or dictionary card catalogue. A card
catalogue is kept also of all publications sent to exchanges, and
OCCASIONAL PAPERS B.P.B.M. VOL. VI, No. 3.—3.
[149]
34 Director's Annual Report
the returned acknowledgment cards are filed. A set of Concilium
Bibliographicum cards for zoology occupies two cabinets, additions
coming in from Zurich at irregular intervals. Much time has
been given to the Library card catalogue. Although no attempt
has been made to rewrite the whole, many new cards have been
inserted to replace those which were torn or illegible; guide cards
have been prepared, and new accessions as received are furnished
with author and subject cards, if needed. Much cross-indexing
of important works relating to the Pacific has been and is being
done. Some of the subjects chosen for this work are: ‘Worship’,
‘Petroglyphs’, ‘Volcanoes, Hawaiian Islands’, ‘Birds, Hawaiian
Islands’, ‘Birds, Australia’, ‘Russians in Hawaii’, ‘Burial Cus-
toms’, ‘Tatu’. The value of this work has been felt already and
the continuation of it will be of the greatest advantage.
‘‘Pamphlets. The classification and care of pamphlets is al-
ways a source of difficulty to a librarian. In this Library ‘sepa-
rates’ and other papers are classified and placed in pasteboard
pamphlet cases labeled with the general subject. A list of con-
tents is pasted on the outside of all boxes containing papers likely
to be called for by the members of the staff. By this means a
pamphlet is found as easily as a book.
‘Binding. Besides the repairing of torn pages or broken
backs, there may be included here work on old volumes to make
the material more available, such as the insertion of a table of
contents, or pagination of a volume composed of several parts,
each complete in itself. Our set of Pacific Voyages is being fur-
nished with a list of the Pacific islands visited, inserted on the
fly-leaf of the volume, and a list of illustrations is being placed in
the folios of plates. The set of voyages, arranged in chronological
order, has been labeled with author or commander’s name, and in
some cases also the name of the ship. As many of these old vol-
umes are entitled simply ‘Voyage round the World’, or have no
binder’s title whatever, it is necessary to have some means of
identification. Labels have been used very freely in all parts of
the Library, especially on old books. ‘This work has made the
Library of much more value for reference purposes, although
much more of a similar nature remains to be done.
[150]
Director's Annual Report. 35
‘Incomplete Serials. Much progress has been made in com-
pleting serials published by museums and scientific societies.
Ten important sets, each covering a long period of years, have
been completed and large additions made to others. One of these,
‘Nature’, London, 1869 to date, has been completed in 1915; also
our set of ‘Reports of the Governor of Hawaii to the Secretary of
the Interior.’ Among the sets recently completed is the ‘Trans-
actions of the Royal Society of Australia,’ which the Curators of
ethnology and entomology have found quite indispensable in con-
nection with work on the Helms collection. Sixteen serials,
several of them long ones, now lack from one to five volumes
each. If these missing parts are ever obtained, it will probably
be one or two at a time from various sources after much search of
catalogues and correspondence.
‘‘Some attention has been given to translation, chiefly detached
passages from German authors, needed by members of the staff,
but also business correspondence in regard to Museum matters.
Some longer work, however, has been attempted including a
lengthy article by Baessler on the aboriginal sacred enclosures of
the Society Islands.
‘““A number of lists and compilations have been made for
library use. For example, from the bibliographies of Jarves,
Pease, Martin, Brigham, Griffin and others, of works relating to
the Hawaiian Islands, a list has been made of all the Hawaiiana
listed by them which it would be desirable to obtain for this
Library. A German-English vocabulary of botanical terms with
list of abbreviations used has been compiled, typewrttten and
bound in amateur fashion for the Herbarium, the carbon copy
serving for the Library. A finding list has been made to the set
of Pacific Voyages, giving names of authors and commanders,
names of the ships by which the voyages are generally known,
the date of the voyage, and also the section and shelf where
the volumes are to be found. Two lists of duplicates have
been made: one of Hawaiiana, the other of general scientific pub-
lications.
‘‘An effort has been made to increase the number of exchanges,
which in 1910 numbered 113. In response to our letters offering
exchange of publications, many appreciative replies and some
[151]
36 Director's Annual Report.
very valuable sets of publications have been received, including
several complete sets, and several that lacked a few volumes only.
Several institutions requesting exchanges have been refused on
the ground that their publications were not within the field of the
museum work. During 1915 the following have been added to
our exchange list: American Fern Society, University of the
Philippines, National Academy of Science.
‘The total number of names now on the exchange list is 133.
‘The total number of accessions in the five years since the
removal of the Library is approximately 2000 volumes, and about
three times as many pamphlets and parts. There are at present
on the shelves approximately 7300 volumes and several times as
many pamphlets and parts.

Type locality, ridges of Kaala at the head of Mokuleia valley,
Oahu. C.-N Forbes, :-No: 1790,°0.. April 29, 1912:
A slender tree 36 dm. high, with dark bark. Leaves ellipti-
cal to elliptic-oblong in outline, with the base slightly truncate
and emarginate or sub-cordate, apex acute, glabrous above, pale
below with fine tomentum, 8.2-12.2 cm. long, 4.3-5.8 cm. wide,
with petioles 1.1-1.5 cm. long. Flowers greenish, many, 9 to 25,
on a distinctly peduncled, pubescent, paniculate cyme, the bract-
lets subulate. Calyx divided to near the base, the lobes lanceo-

Frutex vel arbuscula, ramulis pubescentibus; foliis ellipticis vel obovatis,
supra glabris, subtus hirsutis, 5.9-7.4 cm. longis, 2.1-2.9 cm. latis, cum petio-
lis 0-3 mm. longis; cymis 6-21 floris, pilosis, bracteis subulatis; floribus par-

Type locality, Wahiawa drainage basin, Kauai; ridges near
the swamp. Rev. J. M. Lydgate, flowering and fruiting speci-
mens, nodate. C.N.Forbes, No. 179, K. August, 1909, flower-
ing specimens.
Shrub or small tree with pubescent branchlets. Leaves ellip-
tical to obovate in outline, glabrous above, hirsute below, 5.9-7.4
em. long, 2.1-2.9 cm. wide, with petiole not over 3 mm. long.
‘The cyme open, slender and pilose, 6-21-flowered. Flowers small,
pale yellow. Calyx parted to near the base, the lobes lanceolate,
2 mm. long, a little less than half the length of the corolla tube.
Corolla glabrous without, pilose within, the slender tube about
5mm. long; the slender spreading, lanceolate lobes, about one
half that length or slightly longer. Capsule globose, smooth, not
winged, 2-valved, 4 mm. in diameter.
This species has smaller fruits than any other species known to
me. In general appearance the plant might suggest L. hirtella
Mann, but the floral characters are essentially different.

Haplostachys Munroii, sp. nov.
Pilosa; foliis oblongo-cordatis, acutis, crenatis, villosis, 7.7-14 cm. longis,
3.7-9.7 cm. latis, cum petiolis, 4.2-9.3 cm. longis; racemis terminalibus, sim-

Type locality, Paomai, Lanai. G.C. Munro, No. 350. June
16,1914. Also Koa, Lanai. G.C. Munro, No. 486. February
23; JOU:
Sub-erect, the squarish branches pilose. Leaves oblong-cor-
date in outline, apex acute, rather coarsely crenate, villose on
both faces, rather thin in texture, 7.7-14 cm. long, 3.7-9.7 cm.
wide, with villose petioles 4.2-9.3 cm. long. Inflorescence a
simple terminal raceme, 2-2.5 dm. long, the flowers opposite on
pedicels 2 mm. long, the bracts lanceolate 7 mm. long. Calyx
large, obconical or obconic-cylindrical, softly pubescent, with a
few scattering longer hairs, 1.7 cm. long, the very short acute
teeth 3 mm. long. Corolla large, pure white, the tube slightly
curved, 2.2 cm. long; the lower lip 1.6 cm. long, upper lip 8 mm.
long, pubescent. Nucules large, slightly glandular at the top,
7 mm. long.
The flowers have a strong aroma, according to Munro. The
species is somewhat intermediate between /7. Grayana Hbd. and
fT. truncata (Gray) Hbd., coming closest to the latter. From /.
truncata it differs in the acute calycine teeth, and in the larger
cordate leaves. The genus has not been reported from Lanai.

Phyllostegia electra, sp. nov.
Holoseriacea; foliis elleptico-lanceolatis, serratis, acuminatis, basi acutis
vel subrotundatis, subtus hispidulis, 6.7-9 cm. longis, 2.5-4.4 cm. latis, cum
petiolis 1.3-3.5 cm. longis; racemis terminalibus, simpliciis vel paniculatis,
2 dm. longis, pedicellis 0.6-1 cm. longis; floribus parvis, calyce holoseriacei,
tuba 5 mm. longa, lobis lanceolato-linearibus, 2 mm. longis, corolla alba,
pubescenti, 9 mm. longa, labiis subeequalibus.
Type locality, Power line trail between Kapaka and Kualapa,
Kauai. C.N. Forbes, No. 143, K. August 6-9, 1909.
Sub-erect with holoseriaceous branches. Leaves elliptic-lan-
ceolate, serrate, acuminate, the base acute or slightly rounded,
hispidulous or nearly glabrate above, very shortly hispid below,
6.7-9 cm. long, 2.5-4.4 cm. wide, with petiole 1.3-3.5 cm. long.
Inflorescence a simple terminal raceme, or with a pair of lateral
racemes from the larger foliaceous bracts below. ‘The lanceolate
foliaceous bracts decrease in size upward, generally shorter than
the pedicels. Flowers in whorls of 4-6 on pedicels 0.6—-1 cm. long.
Calyx holoseriaceous, the tube 5 mm. long, the teeth linear lance-
olate, 2mm. long. Corolla white, the tube nearly straight pubes-
cent, 9 mm. long, the lips nearly equal, one third the length of
the tube.
Separated from other species of Phyllostegia by the combina-
tion of its characters. The right hand branch of the figured
specimens is teratological. The branch is contorted, bent like a
knee and thickened on the outside at the flowering node, the inner
or opposite pedicels being absent.

vel subrotundatis, pubescentibus, crenatis, I.4-2.4 cm. longis, 0.9-1.2 em.
latis, cum petiolis pubescentibus 0.6-1.1 cm. longis; verticillastris bifloris,
pedicellis pubescentibus 3 mm. longis; calyce pubescente, lobis inaequalis
2mm. longis, tuba 6 mm. longa; corolla pubescente, subviride, annulo integer-
rimo, lobis superiore falcato longe producto; staminibus exsertis; nucellis
5 mm. longis.
Type locality, Puu Huluhulu, Hawaii. C.N. Forbes, No.
834, H. June ta, *1915.
Diffuse, with sharply angular, finely pubescent branches.
Leaves elliptical to elliptic-oblong in outline, obtuse or slightly
rounded at the base, crenate, pubescent on both faces, 1.4-2.4 cm.
long, 0.9-1.2 cm. wide, with pubescent petioles 0.6-1.1 cm. long.
Flowers in whorls of two, on pubescent pedicels 3 mm. long.
Calyx pubescent, sub-bilabiate, the obtuse teeth slightly unequal
in length, hardly 2 mm. long, the tube 6 mm. long, veins quite
distinct. Corolla greenish, tomentose, shaped asin S. mzcrophylla
Benth., annulus complete or nearly so. Filaments and style long
exerted, slightly hairy to glabrous. Nucules 5 mm. long.
This species has about the same relationship to S. mzcrophylla
Benth., that S. vagans Hbd. does to S. crenata Gray. From S.
microphylla it differs most strikingly in its much larger pubescent
leaves and laxer habit. Puu Huluhulu isa cinder cone of Mauna
Kea which has become isolated by lava flows from the north side
of Mauna Loa. [182]

Cyanea Juddii sp. nov.
Caule simplici, 12dm. altus; foliis lato-lanceolatis, membranaceis, integer-
rimis, subter pubescentibus, 6 dm. longis, 18 cm. latis, cum petiolis aculeis,
2.5 dm. longis; pedunculis 6-9 cm. longis, cum bracteis linearis ab base ad
apicem, pedicellis bi-bracteis; floribus magnis, calyce puberulente vel gla-
brata, lobis linearibus, obtusis, fimbriatis, 9-10 mm. longis, corolla falciformi,
extus pubescente 3.2-3.8 cm. longa. Bacca ignota.
Type locality, Pali at the head of Waiahole Valley, Oahu.
Only one specimen was seen during a trip in the comany of Messrs.
Albert Judd, Dr. C. M. Cooke and others. C. N. Forbes, No.
1744,,O7- February 6, 1912.
Stem 12 dm. high, without branches. Leaves widely lanceo-
late, entire, glabrous above, finely pubescent below, especially
along the nerves and mid-vein which is also sparingly aculeate,
6 dm. long, 18 cm. wide, with a petiole 2.5 dm. long, sparingly
armed with short, stout, yellowish prickles. Peduncles 6-9 cm.
long, clothed from the base with linear oblong, obtuse bracts,
which are finely fimbriate, 9-16 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, the 5-10
flowers near the apex, the pedicels bi-bracteate near the middle.
Calyx sparingly puberulent or glabrous, the tube obconical, 6 mm.
long, the lobes linear oblong, obtuse, with the edges finely serrate.
Corolla falciform, striped with dark purple and white, densely
puberulent but appearing glabrous in dried specimens, glabrous
on the inside, with a deep dorsal slit, 3.2-3.8cm. long. Staminal
column glabrous, free. Berry not seen.
I have hesitated for some time in deciding that this is really
distinct from C. ¢ritomantha Gray, a species only known from the
island of Hawaii. It differs in smaller flowers combined with
minor characteristics. Both are readily separated from most other
Cyanea by the densely bracted peduncle, but the Oahu species
might be confused with the genus Rollandia. It may prove to be
closely related to R. truncata Rock.

was used as a place of refuge in times of war.
Stem simple, 18-24 dm. high. Leaves broadly elliptical, acu-
minate, acute at the base, undulate, somewhat irregularly so,
glabrous, pale whitish below, the petioles rather long, 23.4 cm.
long, 9.8 cm. wide, with petiole 12.2 cm. long. Peduncle naked
below, glabrous, 9-12- flowered, 2.8-4.1 cm. long, the pedicels
g-10 mm. long. Calyx cylindric-obconical, glabrous, the tube
7mm. long, the lobes oblong with rounded apex, 5 mm. long.
Corolla white, slender, sub-erect, glabrous, with dorsal slit nearly
to the base, 3.4cm. long. Staminal column and anthers glabrous.
Berry not seen.
The habit of the plant and the leaves bear a striking resem-
blance to C. acuminata (Cham.) Hbd., but otherwise the plant
is very different. Another plant, Forbes, No. 240, Mo., collected
on the Pelekunu trail on the same island, is probably the same
species; but not having flowers or fruit this cannot be definitely
decided at present. [186]

Director’s Report for 1916
In beginning his Report of the activities of this Museum for
the year 1916 the Director, with no little pleasure, notes an event
which was, he believes, intended to have taken place in the previous
year asa recognition of the twenty-fifth year of the Museum’s con-
crete existence, 1890-1915. Various accidents delayed the kind
intention and hence its place in the present Report. The event is
explained in the following letter from the Trustees’ Records:
‘On motion of Mr. W. O. Smith, it was unanimously resolved
that the offer to the Museum by the persons who are at present
Trustees, of the portrait in oils of Dr. William T. Brigham by
Wilton Lockwood, be accepted and that the Secretary be instructed
to send to the donors the letter of which the following is a copy:
‘“*The Bernice P. Bishop Museum accepts the gift made to
it by you of the portrait of Dr. Brigham painted by the late Wilton
Lockwood, and will be pleased to give it a place in the Picture
Gallery of the Museum.
‘““Dr. Brigham, as the first Curator and Director of the Museum,
is one who might be said to have been present at its birth, who had
performed a very large share of the work of directing its course
from the stage when it was the treasure house of two private col-
lections of ancient Hawaiian handicraft to the Bernice P. Bishop
Museum of today. Dr. Brigham and his work can never be dis-
sociated from the Museum, its humble beginnings, its early diffi-
culties and struggles, its progress and development, and the work
it has already accomplished in the cause of science.
‘ “By this action of the Trustees a work of Art has been added
to the rich collections which are stored in the Museum, and so long
as the impressive monument of love known as the Bernice P.
[195]

Bishop Museum endures, can be seen the well-drawn lineaments
of the man whose scholarship, learning, knowledge, rare taste,
judgment, and love of science largely furnished the ideas, directed
the work and guided its destinies.
‘“*Gentlemen, the Museum thanks you for your timely and
appropriate gift, and assures you that it will be prized and cher-
iantedsa.”

Ethnology. Continuing the agreeable subject of gifts to
the Museum I call attention to the report of the Curator of Eth-
nology, Mr. John F. G. Stokes. He says:
‘“‘Mr. Holmes’ anonymous friend has again given evidence
of his generosity in purchasing and presenting two collections to
the Museum. ‘The larger one, made by J. F. Connelly in Australia,
is mainly of interest through its painted bark baskets, memorial
stones, and zardoo grinders which supplement the more extensive
Helms collection given by the same benefactor in 1915. ‘The
second, of Maori implements sent by L,. Simmons on approval, was
small but very choice, as it included a mere, t7ki and fish-hook,
all in jade.
‘‘Another gift was the feather cape of the Parker family, which
came to the Museum without suggestion by members of the staff.
It was a family heirloom and its presentation caused a feeling of
satisfaction that the usefulness of the Museum was being more
widely appreciated. The gift was from the five living heirs of Har-
riet Panana Hianaloli, first wife of Col. Samuel K. Parker, and the
presentation was made through Mr. Ernest Napela Parker."
‘An illustration of this interesting cape, of which the ownership is recorded
for several generations, will be given in another supplement to Hawaiian
Feather Work which is in preparation.
[196]
Director's Report for 1916. 5
“Tt is worth while noting the occasional advantage to the
Museum of helping outsiders when possible. Captain Fritz Hell-
hoff, of the S. S. Longmoon and Mr. Max Frech, first officer of the
S. S. Prinz Waldemar, both now in port, wished to have a con-
signment of bird of paradise skins inspected for condition before
shipment to China for sale. Compliance with their wishes led to
the presentation to the Museum by Mr. Frech of necklaces of
beetles’ prothoraces, elytra and femora from Kaiserin Augusta
River, New Guinea, specimens not before heard of. Shown in
Fig. 3. Promises were also made by the two officers to send
specimens to the Museum when they regained their freedom.
The bird of paradise skins were intended only for millinery pur-
poses, and were unsuitable for the Museum collections.
“‘Messrs. A. F. Judd, J. A. Wilder, G. P. Cooke and C. M.
Cooke Jr., added many specimens from Molokai, among which
were three shell spoons not previously reported. Fig. 1.
“Mr. J. K. Farley sent us a petroglyph which he had had cut
from the beach at Keoneloa, Kauai, with the permission of the
Koloa Sugar Company, on whose property the specimen was.
‘‘Among the other gifts might be mentioned two rare pounders
from Mr. H. Digby Sloggett, a papa kui pot pohaku or stone platter
on which poi was pounded (unique so far), from Mr. A. Gross
(Fig. 8), and a ringed stone mortar from Mr. Robert S. Thurston
(Fig. 4). The gifts of other friends of the Museum appear in the
accompanying lists. It will be noticed that there is an increase in
the number of donors.”’
The field work of the department has been not only interest-
ing but productive. The expedition to Kauai was the third in the
past six years with the object of photograpuing the interesting
petroglyphs on Keoneloa beach. ‘The first two were comparative
failures for the sand which usually covers the cuttings which are
uncovered during a Kona storm, in both cases were mostly covered
by the time one could get word of the storm and arrive from Oahu
at the beach. In January of this year there was a long spell of
Kona weather and the sands left the petroglyphs uncovered for an
unusual time, so that Mr. Stokes with Mr. Dean H. Lake and a
specially constructed staging to place in the water where the camera
could catch the bare ledge as the wave receded were able to secure
[197]
6 Director's Report for 1916.
a good series of photographs from which the figures have been
traced on a large sheet of paper in their relative position for later
publication. A few ethnological specimens were gathered from the
neighboring sanddunes. Certainly the Museum is much indebted
to Mr. J. K. Farley of Koloa for his valuable assistance in this
matter, and for his hospitality, as it is through his watchfulness
of the beach and weather conditions that the success of the work
was made possible.
In an unusual way this department went afield, and from
Mr. Stokes’ report the visit to the Maui County Fair was a wise
departure from the usual Museum routine. The report was pre-
sented to the Trustees December 20th, but for purpose of record
and for its intrinsic interest is repeated here :—
Dr. W. T. BRIGHAM,
Director Bernice P. Bishop Museum.
Str:—I beg to submit a brief report on the subject of Mr. -
Lambert’s and my recent visit to Maui. In response to the invi-
tation to you, from the Maui County Committee, to judge the
Hawaiian Arts and Crafts section, you deputed me to take your
place and Mr. R. E. Lambert to lend his assistance. Mr. George
P. Cooke, who was interested in the Fair had suggested that we
exhibit a collection of our ethnological casts, and forty-six of our
rarest specimens were represented at the Fair in this manner.
There being present at the exhibition abundance of the commoner
specimens, our exhibit had the effect of adding leaven to the whole.
A set of the Museum Memoirs was made available to the visitors
at the Fair, and they appeared to appreciate the opportunity of
looking through the same.
There were over 500 local specimens on display, and the
attendance at the Arts and Crafts section was estimated at 2400.
I believe that 1800 would be a conservative estimate. The interest
of the visitors in what they saw was very great, and many ques-
tions were asked by them. A large portion of the visitors were
Hawaiians, and it was remarkable to observe that many of them
had forgotten the commoner implements of their ancestors. This
became apparent from the questions they were overheard asking
one another. So great was the interest created by the Hawaiian
Arts and Crafts section, that its Committee was requested to con-
[198]
Director's Report for 1916. 7
tinue its exhibition for two days after the rest of the Fair was
closed, which was done. Before closing the exhibition, I was
invited to make a short address on the subject of the Bishop
Museum, and endeavored to satisfy the visitors.'
On account of the interest shown by the Maui people and
their visitors in this section of the Fair, I was greatly impressed
with the desirability of the Museum again cooperating ina similar
but more extensive manner with other exhibitions of the kind.
There are many people who cannot visit the Bishop Museum. By
having on hand a large series of casts of our suitable rare stone
and wooden specimens packed in, perhaps half a dozen, padded
compartments shipping cases, each compartment numbered for its
particular specimen, we will be equipped to do this work at a day’s
notice. The use of such cases, inexpensive for our carpenter to
prepare, will obviate any ordinary risk of breaking and losing
casts, and enable them to be used with a minimum loss of time in
packing and unpacking. The more delicate specimens, such as
feathers, tapa, etc., can be shown through the Memoirs to be in-
cluded in this traveling exhibition set.”
Of the three weeks spent on Maui, nine days of my time were
taken up by the Fair, which occupied the whole of Mr. Lambert’s
five days there. As the committee for the section was totally un-
familiar with the handling and exhibition of specimens, I thought
it might be within my province to outline a simple system to aid
them. It was pleasant to observe the readiness with which my
suggestions were adopted, and some satisfaction to learn at the
close that not one of the exhibitors had lost a specimen.
Mr. Lambert worked hard and continuously, and by his efforts
contributed very materially to the success of the exhibition. He
also helped in interviewing owners of specimens, and in furthering
a kindly feeling towards the Museum......
The Arts and Crafts Committee agreed to my suggestion that
casts of specimens be allowed in future competitions, in cases where
owners formerly possessed the original specimen. This plan permits
a museum to permanently preserve a rare form, while the original
owner retains the same privilege of exhibition as he exercised before.
Without such an understanding, people who gave specimens to the
Museum would be thereby parolee raed in later comp H Hans.

Director's Report for 1916.
In the days following the Fair, the Memoirs of the Museum
were placed at the disposal of the public in the Maui Hotel lobby, and
at the office of the Rev. R. B. Dodge, Chairman of the Arts and Crafts
Committee. The rest of my time was used up in gathering informa-
tion concerning the heiau and introducing the Bishop Museum to
many Hawaiians who had not heard of it. For the latter purpose
I carried a copy of the handbook in my pocket, and keen interest
was displayed by the Hawaiians who looked it through.
In the heiau work, using Wailuku as a base, I covered the
coast as far as Kahakuloa on the N. W., Keanae on the N. E.,
La Pérouse Bay on S. E. and Olowalu on S. W. For the Lahaina
and Kaanapali sections, Lahaina may be used asa base later.
The heiau work was disappointing. I had hoped to get a better
understanding of the heiau terms used by the late 5. M. Kamakau
in his writings from the natives of the Wailuku section, where
Kamakau lived many years. ‘The terms, however, were unknown
to these people, as were most of the commoner heiauterms. Over
twenty-five heiau sites were seen and fifteen more heard of. Of
the few where stones remained, not one was in condition to afford
an original ground plan such as I required.
These little journeys, however, were the means of securing
twelve good specimens, of which two were given, one purchased,
aud four found by my wife whoaccompanied me. Deserted house lots
were the best source of supply. Expenses have been kept at a mini-
mum through the use of my own machine which I had with me.
Respectfully submitted,
JouHN F. G. STOKES,
Curator of Polynesian Ethnology.
To Mr. Stokes’ interesting account of his Maui visit I am
pleased to add the following communication from the well-known
Chairman of the Arts and Crafts division of the Fair:
Wailuku, December 25, 1916.
Dr. WILLIAM T. BRIGHAM,
Director Bishop Museum, Honolulu.
DEAR Dr. BR1GHAM:—The Committee in charge of the Hawai-
ian Arts and Crafts Department of the County Fair wish me in their
behalf to most heartily express the thanks of the Committee and
the entire Board of the County Fair for the most generous assist-
[ 200 ]
Director's Report for 1916. 9
ance given us by the Museum in the loan of the valuable collection
of casts and the most generous and helpful assistance of Mr. Stokes
and Mr. Lambert. These gentlemen who represented you, and
Mrs. Stokes who gave so freely of her time, inspired the best pos-
sible work on the part of our Committee, and brought to Maui’s
careful attention the excellent work of your most valuable Museum.
I feel that your enthusiastic support of the project on Maui, which
you know is our first attempt, will materially assist in subsequent
fairs whether held here or on the otherislands. ‘The Museum can-
not be thanked enough, and you, kind sir, for the pains taken to
so materially assist in Maui’s First County Fair.
In behalf of the Committee of Hawaiian Arts and Crafts,
I remain most gratefully yours,
ROWLAND B. DopGE, Chairman.
Botany. From the Report of the Curator of Botany, Mr.
Charles N. Forbes, I quote from his field work :
‘During the latter part of May I made an excursion to Hawaii
to observe the effects of a lava flow on vegetation. In order to
obtain quick transportation from Hilo to the source of the flow I
accepted the invitation of Dr. C. D. Barnes to join his automobile
party. While an unforeseen illness prevented a thorough explora-
tion I was enabled to see much which helps to explain conditions
observed on many old flows. I was able to visit a branch of the
flow in Kahuku while it was still hot, although movement had
ceased, and to see the actual source of the flow which was in great
activity.
‘“The effect of heat on the lee side of the aa flow visited was
most interesting. Where the lava overhung dry grass, as it did
in many places along the flow, the grass was only scorched the
amount of the overhang away from the flow, which was only six
inches in many places. Detached pieces of lava which fell off and
away from the flow simply burned a small circle about themselves.
Branches of trees actually overhanging the flow were usually but
not always withered ; while otherwise the tree remained unharmed.
In one place an ohia (JZetrosideros polymorpha) tree in full bloom
was nearly surrounded by a wall of lava without its foliage being
even wilted. Near the end of this flow a large prostrated koa tree
( Acacia koa) had been carried a short distance without its foliage
[201 |
10 Director's Report for 1916.
being completely scorched. Looking across the flow the scorching
of foliage on the lee side did not appear to be very much greater than
on the windward side. Practically all vegetation on the windward
side of the flow at a distance of two feet and often less survived.
Minor effects on vegetation were the plowing up of sods by great
angular blocks of rock pushed forward by the flow; and the effect
of either steam or gases escaping through underground passages
along the edge of the flow, which in one case observed caused the
destruction of a large koa tree at a considerable distance away from
the lava stream. It is hardly necessary to mention that all vege-
tation in the course of flowing lava was annihilated. I observed
nothing which suggested the effect of poisonous gases, withering
being caused by heat, as was indicated by the relative position of
scorched and green foliage. Weather conditions during the period
of the flow were not particularly favorable for the development of
forest fires, and I was not able to ascertain if any took place.
‘““Along a crack extending from the source of the eruption,
which is above Puu o Keokeo, toward the summit of Mauna Loa,
I observed blighting of vegetation which I believe was caused by the
emission of poisonous gases. While not impossible that this was
caused by frost, the relative appearance of the damage done to
different bushes bore a decided relation to the distance from the
crack. At an estimated distance of three hundred feet on the lee
side of this crack bushes of Dodonea viscosa had blighted leaves;
while closer in leaves of Vaccinium penduliflorum and Coprosma
ernodeoides were blighted. The foliage of Cvathodes Tametametae
which is needle-like was not affected, but buds of plants rather
close to the crack were blighted. In all cases the blighting was
slight and the plants probably quickly recovered.
‘‘At the source of the eruption there is a small area of Aahoe-
hoe java; many of the characteristic cracks of this fresh lava had
a whitish discoloration or an otherwise different appearance in
color from the rest of the lava, due to the action of escaping gases
on the rock surface. This fact is especially mentioned here be-
cause it probably bears an important relation to the future invasion
of plants. ‘The chemical nature of the surface of the cracks must
be somewhat different from the surface rock of either fahochoe or
aa. I have noticed this surface discoloration in the cracks of all
old pahoehoe flows, but was never quite sure whether it was purely
[202 ]
Director's Report for 1916. II
a primitive condition or partly an after effect or weathering, per-
haps due to rain falling on the cooling lava.
“On the south point of Hawaii there are now four flows of
known date in close proximity, even overlapping in places, namely
1868, 1887, 1907 and 1916. ‘The invasion of plants on these areas
of brand new earth are of immense interest to a botanist; there
being few places in the world where such phenomena can be readily
observed.
“During October and a part of November a collecting trip
was made to Kauai. With Lihue as a base, camping trips were
taken to Kilauea, Nonou Mountains, Hii Mountains, and day trips
to the Haupu Range, Wailua Falls and other places in the immedi-
ate vicinity. In spite of rainy weather a fair collection of plants
was made.
‘‘T was enabled to confirm certain statements made to me by
Rev. J. M. Lydgate concerning A77ghamia insignis as it occurs on
Kauai. The Kauai plant has different colored flowers from the
plant occuring on the central islands of the group, but otherwise
there seems to be no constant or striking differences of specific or
varietal rank, although it may be safe to give the Kauai plant the
form name of c7/vi7a.'
‘‘Probably Remy’s Niithau specimens cited by both Gray and
Hillebrand belong to this form. I have observed Arighamia along
the Kalalau trail on Kauai hut notin flower. So far the genus
has not been reported from either Oahu or Hawaii, but it would
not be safe to say that it does not occur. A difference between
the plant of the central islands of the group and that of Kauai is
of rather more than passing interest.
‘‘During the year Mr. A. S. Hitchcock of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Washington, D. C., an expert on grasses, visited our
Herbariam and looked through the specimens. Both his friend-
ship and identifications in this difficult group were a welcome help.
An exchange has been arranged with Mr. Hitchcock.

Pulmonata. From the Report of the Curator of Pulmonata,
Dr. C. Montague Cooke, Jr., we find:
“Twenty thousand two hundred and ten (20,210) specimens
have been catalogued during the year. ‘These were distributed
over 1760 catalogue numbers, with an average of slightly over
eleven specimens to each catalogue number. Besides the shells
catalogued, several thousand specimens were either collected or
given to the Museum during the year which your Curator was
unable to catalogue.
‘‘Not as much has been done in the field this year as in previous
years, but more time has been spent in the laboratory on the collec-
tions. One important trip was taken with Messrs. Judd and Wilder
to Molokai and collections made on the different ridges between
Waikolu and Kawela. Previous to this trip, very few specimens
were in our collection from this region and the results were very
satisfactory, as 2444 specimens were added to our collection.
‘‘A paper dealing with some new species and varieties of
Amastra is in the hands of the Trustees, and it is to be hoped that
it will be issued early in 1917.'. A number of very interesting spe-
cies have been dealt with in this paper. Most of the forms de-
scribed were acquired by the Museum since Dr. Pilsbry’s visit
here in 1913. . Work has already been begun in arranging the ma-
terial for study for another paper.
‘This paper has been issued as Part 3 of Vol. III, Occasional Papers.

Entomology. Inthe Entomological Department Mr. J. C.
Bridwell somewhat late in the autumn was appointed Assistant to
Mr. O. H. Swezey, Honorary Curator of the department, to aid in
the arrangement of the Helms collection, but unfortunately an
accident disabled him so that little was accomplished except the
ordering of necessary implements and supplies: with the new year
it is hoped that much good work will be done.
REPORT OF THE HONORARY CURATOR.
THE DIRECTOR,
Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu.
DEAR S1rR:—The work in Entomology at the Museum for the
calendar yearr 916 was chiefly with the extensive Helms collection
of Australian insects acquired the previous year. The work of
cleaning, repinning, and repairing specimens, preliminary to tran-
sfering them to the Museum cabinets, was continued as rapidly as
possible in the limited time at the disposal of your Honorary Curator.
At length it was found that this would be too great a task and would
be prolonged indefinitely and prevent any progress in work with
the collection of Hawaiian insects for quite a time unless assistance
was arranged for.
The Museum was fortunate enough to secure the services of
J. C. Bridwell for this purpose, he having gained a considerable
familiarity with the Australian insect fauna by several months in
Queensland and New South Wales, both in studying collections
in museums and in collecting in the field. Unfortunately his ap-
pointment began so late as September 1, and yet more unfortu-
nately he was soon laid up in the hospital for several weeks with
blood poisoning in one leg, from a wound by a date-thorn in the
knee. Further delay was occasioned by the tardy arrival of ma-
terial for lining the insect cabinet drawers, but eventually the work
was gotten well under way and substantial progress made in the
transference of the collection to the Museum cabinets. It is ex-
[205 ]
14 Director's Report for 1916.
pected that this will be finished during 1917, though there will yet
remain a great deal to be done before the systematic arrangement
of the collection is completed and all specimens determined and
labeled. ‘The undetermined and unlabeled material in the collec-
tion is a greater proportion than was apparent at the beginning,
and will provide opportunities for a great deal of further work,
but it is not urgent that it be done at once.
The Hawaiian collection has partly been installed in the cabi-
nets, and more will be done with this during 1917. Collecting of
new material will also be done at opportune times to augment this
collection, special efforts being made to secure specimens of the
numerous species now lacking.
Your Honorary Curator has deposited in the Museum his set
of ‘‘types’’ of forty-one (41) species of Lepidoptera. These are
all of species described by him in recent years, and not hitherto
represented in the Museum collection. Herewith is a list of the
species together with references to their descriptions. Those
marked with an asterisk (*) have ‘‘paratypes’’ in the author’s col-
lection; those marked with a double asterisk (**) have ‘‘paratypes”’
in the cabinets at the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association Ex-
periment Station.

Ichthyology. To our collection of Sharks has been added
a complete cast of the Thresher Shark of eastern waters, a cast of
the head of an unusually large Hammer Head Shark from our
waters, and several fine skulls. Mr. Thompson has also added
many fine specimens to our large collection of native fish (several
as yet undescribed), and a number of fruits. For the purpose of
exhibiting at the Maui County Fair he made a large series of casts
of stone or wooden implements, which proved a great attraction in
the Arts and Crafts Section of the Fair.
[207]
16 Director's Report for 1916.
Library. In the Library it is surprising to see how much
work can be done in very unsuitable quarters; I quote from the
report of the Librarian, Miss E. B. Higgins :—
‘“The most important Library event for 1916 was certainly the
appointment of a regular Library Assistant. The aid thus given is
tending to the development of the Museum’s literary workshop and
the increase of its usefulness to an extent not heretofore possible.
‘‘In August of this year the work of binding was taken up
vigorously. Our assistant, Miss M. Claire Steinbring, has shown
great care and good judgment in preparing serials for the bindery.
The number of books bound is 264. ‘The care and distribution of
publications has been turnedover almost entirely to the Library
assistant, who is doing well with this work also.
“‘As regards accessions, the number is much larger than for
1915, although many of our European exchanges were cut off.
Among gifts may be mentioned: Fifteen early Smithsonian publi-
cations, Dr. Cooke’s gift of 130 separates, Hawaiian newspapers
from Father R. ¥V-zendoorn.
‘“We have been fortunate in the purchase of a set of the Reports
of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, from
1843-1914. These reports arrived very opportunely during the
visit of one of the scientists from the Kilauea Observatory, who
particularly needed the set in his work. Dr. Cooke’s gift of separ-
ates includes some very rare and valuable papers, especially those
on Hawaiian Botany and Mollusca. ‘The newspapers from Father
Reginald are particularly valuable on account of the Hawaiian
histories by S. M. Kamakau that they contain.
‘‘A record of the use of the Library by outsiders, begun in
in September, shows that from that date to the end of December,
thirteen visits were made for the purpose of study, and that one
visitor came every day during a period of three weeks, spending
from two to six hours on each occasion. Mr. Joseph S. Emerson
in connection with the classification of his collection of shells has
also made frequent use of the Library.
‘“The indexing of Cook’s last voyage is progressing as rapidly
as opportunity offers. The advantage and convenience of the in-
dex when complete becomes more apparent as the work progresses.
‘‘A bibliography of Professor W. D. Alexander’s writings,
including articles in periodicals, has been under way for some time
[208 ]
Director's Report for rgr6. 1g
past. This list of more than a hundred titles is now as nearly
complete as we have been able to make it.
‘“The search for missing parts to complete our files is going
on steadily, various important items having been secured during
the year, and there is good prospect that several long series may
be available soon. ‘The card catalogue reference work in connec-
tion with old works on Hawaii is also kept up in addition to the
regular accession work, with the result that the availability of the
Library is more than keeping pace with its numerical increase.”’

Exhibition Halls. The appointment of the Exhibition
Superintendent has proved a very important step in advance in
the administration of the Museum. Not only has the staff been
increased in efficiency, but the scientific members have been re-
lieved from the many undesirable interruptions of their regular
work, and the Exhibition Halls and the surrounding grounds have
been kept in far better order than was possible when all that was
added to the other duties of the Director. Mrs. Helvie has also
found exercise for her faculties (including patience) in guiding
many visitors through the halls. I quote from her report:
“During the year the usual work on the Exhibition Halls, in
the Laboratory Building and on the grounds has gone on with but
slight interruptions, and the work accomplished by the three jani-
tors has been most satisfactory. Everything has been kept up to
standard as far as possible. The increase in the regular Museum
staff has necessarily meant additional work to the Superintendent
and her assistants. The new vacuum cleaner has been in use fre-
quently and is especially efficient in cleaning the tops of cases, and
many of the larger exhibits that have heretofore been out of reach.
‘“The number of visitors to the Museum has kept up very well
all through the year, the smallest attendance being in the months
of October and November. Many classes from the different schools
O. P. B.P.B.M. Vot. VI, No. 4.—2. [209 }
18 Director's Report for rgr6.
in Honolulu have visited the Museum accompanied by their teach-
ers. The pupils were bright, alert and well-behaved, and seemed
to be interested in all they saw.
“During August and September, after five years service, the
Exhibition Superintendent was granted two months vacation.
Meantime Mrs. J. E. Higgins carried on the work very acceptably.”’
The table of attendance appended shows the proportion of the
nationalities (except in those in which there were few representa-
tives, as Koreans, Formosans, Hindus, negroes, Philippinos, Porto
Ricans, etc., which are in small numbers); it also shows that the
total attendance, which, owing to the less number of steamers, fell
in r915, has nearly regained the total of 1914, our largest record.

Mr. Reynolds has been busy in various ways, especially in
placing the linings in the steel trays of the entomological cases, a

SOME HAWATIAN SHREDDERS AND SCRAPERS.
WHEN we view the apparently complete Hawaiian collections
in the Bishop Museum, it may be difficult for us to realize that
some of the implements, which must have been most common, are
now among the rarest. This remark would apply more particu-
larly to specimens of less permanent nature than stone. As
examples, might be quoted, the bambu knife and the file of coral;
neither of them was in our collections until found on Kahoolawe
in 1913. Such tools, simple in their structure though effective
enough for their purpose in the hands of their users, were from the
nature of their material the first to give way before the imported
metal implements, and, not being of interest as curios, have been
easily forgotten.
Another such implement was the early form of the wa’u niu,
coconut-shredder, used for preparing £u/o/o (the Hawaiian dessert
made by cooking together shredded taro and coconut meat, sweet-
ened with milk from the unripe coconut). The first example of
this early form, to come to our knowledge, was one ploughed up
in 1915 at Hauula, Oahu, 1000 feet from the sea, by an employee
of Mr. Edgar Henriques, and loaned to the Museum for casting.
L 925, Fig. 1. It was a wedge-shaped section of a cone shell
(probably Conus guercinus) serrated on the interior apical margin.
In 1916, Mr. A. L. C. Atkinson found two more, of the same ma-
terial, on the beach at Kihei, Maui. L, 969 and L, 970, Fig. 1.
The specimens found were shown to several middle-aged or
elderly Hawaiians at various times, and it is interesting to note
that all but one of them failed to recognize the shredders until the
indented edges were pointed out, and then the use was at once
described. The one referred to was John Penchula, from Kau,
Hawaii, now a janitor in the Museum, who remembered seeing
his father using such an implement. For use the shredder was
bound, teeth upward, to a straight stick which rested on a stone
and the ground, with the shredder projecting over a dish, and was

held by the foot. The material to be shredded was taken in both
hands and pressed downward against the teeth.
In Fig. 2 is a shredder (L, 969) mounted on the ascending
prong of a branched stick, by Penchula, after the fashion of one
used by his father. It is very similar to a Micronesian pattern.
The method of mounting and applying the shredders would ho
doubt follow individual taste to a large extent. Kulolo is a déli-

cacy still in demand, although a pudding made of arrowroot is
rapidly replacing it on account of the simpler preparation of the
latter. The implement now used for kulolo is a long piece of iron
(often a flat file) serrated at one end, sometimes set in a wooden
handle. ‘The operator either stands orsitsonit. Inthe Hawaiian
Group we have not come across anything similar to the convenient
contrivance used for the purpose in the Marquesas Islands, con-

sisting of a wooden stool with a projecting arm and a grater of
coral bound to the outer end."
There is some variation in the design of the shredders illus-
trated. Fig.1. To the right of the arrows in the cross sections are
shown the portions which were shaped (by grinding). Nos. L 925
and L, 970 are of a similar and effective pattern, the cutting angle
in each being directed upward, and a sharp edge obtained. No.
L970 has apparently seen more use and undergone sharpening
by further grinding on the upper edge of the shell section. A
comparison of these two specimens will demonstrate this proba-
bility. The serrations in both are regular. No. L 969 has not
been so evenly serrated, nor does it appear of such good design,
since the cutting edge is rounded. It has been much worn.

[231]
40 Director’s Report for 1916.
According to Penchula, sections of the Casszs and other large
shells were used, in addition to the Cozus, as was also the hard wood
kauila (Alphitonia excelsa) indented as usual. From a Kauai
native it was learned that the naturally serrated edge of the opzhz
(Patella spp.) served the same purpose. It was held in the hand,
not mounted. ‘The opihi was also used as a spoon, and as a scraper
for gourds similarly to the specimens now to be described.
Among deserted house foundations on the south coast of
Molokai, Mr. A. F. Judd and Dr. C. Montague Cooke found, in
1916, three dorsal sections of large cowries, which had been arti-
ficially broken out, apparently, and further modified by grinding
atoneend. ‘They are illustrated in Fig. 1, B 1162, Cyprea inter-
media, B1179 and Biu180 C. mauritiana. One, B 1179, was in
very good condition and furthermore was perforated at the end
opposite the sharpened part. As shown in the cross section, it
had been ground to a very sharp edge, the face of the grinding
being parallel to its short axis. The others are much worn,
(B 1179 is also broken) and do not now show a sharpened edge.
These shells, in addition to being used as coconut-scrapers,
were used for cleaning out the pith from the interior of the gourd
vessels.' In the part of Molokai where found, the latter was prob-
ably the principal use for these particular specimens. In operation
the shells were held in the hand. In the gourds in the Museum,
the pith has been very cleanly scraped away, and the sharp cutting
edge of No. B 1179 would have been well adapted for the purpose.
By experiment, this scraper was found to accurately engage the
interior surfaces of coconuts and gourds.
The Hawaiian name applied to these scrapers would be vari-
ously wa’u pu or wa’u niu (gourd-scraper or coconut-shredder),
accordingly as the implements were used.
BEETLE NECKLACES FROM NEW GUINEA.
Necklaces of beetles’ parts from New Guinea, a form of orna-
mentation unusual in the Pacific, have recently come to our atten-
tion. ‘They were brought to Honolulu by Mr. Max Frech, first
officer of S. S. Prinz Waldemar, who generously divided his treas-
ures with the Museum. He obtained them from an engineer, of
another steamer, who had secured them on an expedition many

miles inland on the Kaiserin Augusta River, N. W. German New
Guinea. Mr. Frech, who has traded for many years on the New
Guinea coast, says that he has not seen them in the possession of
the coast natives.
4. RINGED STONE MORTAR.
According to Mr. J. C. Bridwell, they are the prothoraces,
elytra and femora of two species of Buprestid beetles, probably of
the genus Chalcophora. Iu Fig. 3 are shown: B 1220, a complete
string of the elytra; B 1221, half a string of the femora; and B 1219,
part of a string of the prothoraces. ‘Their beautiful iridescence,
the dominant brilliant green changing to old gold, was the cause of
the levy on the insects for their glittering coverings. In Nos. 1219
[234]

and 1220, the string is of native manufacture, and in 1221, of cotton
thread. ‘The cord of No. 1220 is knotted between each wing sheath.
In this specimen, a somewhat musical tone results from the rat-
tling of the necklace.
ORNAMENTED MORTAR OF STONE.

of the presence of many grooves encircling the exterior. There
are six on the exterior wall, two on the upper rim and one on the
bottom. Their presence in the latter two places would indicate
that the motive was ornamentation, not utility.
Considering the necessarily bulky requirements of such an
implement, the Hawaiian cylindrical mortar had been developed
into a form which was not inelegant, as may be seen in those pre-

viously illustrated.‘ The rings would thus add a slightly greater
degree of refinement. They have apparently been made by peck-
ing, and have not been subsequently smoothed, as was the origi-
nal surface of the exterior. The stone is a basalt, of a degree of
fineness similar to that in the other cylindrical mortars. The speci-
men is 200 mm. high, 223 in diameter at the base. ‘The cavity is
143 mm. deep, 123 in diameter at the mouth, and 127 a quarter of
the way down, and converges at the bottom. A cross section is
shown in Fig. 5.
AN HAWAIIAN SLING.
The sling was always considered an effective arm in Hawaiian
warfare, and the great care with which the sling-stones were
made? would seem to bear this out. Yet the only Hawaiian sling
in our collections heretofore, No. 4812, has been a somewhat crude
contrivance of loosely braided bast fibre of the hau (Parttium tilt-
aceum) with the braiding broadened (like matting) in the middle
fora pocket. Fig. 6. On the handles, the braiding is three-ply,
each fold consisting of two or more flat, overlying strands of the
fibre, rounded and not twisted over the turn (thereby avoiding an
entirely flat braid). Toward the pocket, other strands were in-
serted, thickening the cord, but not increasing the number of
folds, until the pocket was reached. Here the technique changed
from cord-braiding to mat-plaiting, but the latter was less regular
than usual with matting. It has the appearance of a hasty and
untidy job, and is in strong contrast to the neat corded work in
which the Polynesians in general, and the Hawaiians in particu-
lar, were soadept. One of the handles is short, apparently broken.
King’s description? might have been applied to similar speci-
men: ‘‘The slings have nothing singular about them; and in no re-
spect differ from our common slings, except that the stone is lodged
on a piece of matting instead of leather.’’
Cook saw sling-stones on Kauai, as clearly shown by his refer-
ence to ‘‘some oval pieces of whetstone well polished, but some-
what pointed towards each end,’’+ but apparently not the slings.
His description, immediately preceding the above, of the pieces of

hematite ‘‘artificially made of an oval shape divided longitudinally,
with a narrow groove in the middle of the convex part.....-it
weighed a pound’’ undoubtedly applied to the pohaku lu hee, or
stone sinker’ for the octopus trap. To this stone, he said, ‘‘was
applied a cord of no great thickness.’’ It is questionable if this
cord was a sling as Cook inferred; more than probably it was the
cord for fastening to the stone the appliances of the trap.”
Rev. Wm. Ellis noted on the island of Hawaii that ‘‘....they
employed the sling, and their stones were very destructive. The
slings were made of human hair, plaited, or the elastic fibres of the
cocoa-nut husk...-. ’?3 Human hair for cord was not uncommon
in these islands, although its principal use was in ornamentation.
Since he made no special mention of the pattern, it is to be assumed
that the Hawaiian sling of his description resembled in form those
he had seen in Southern Polynesia. Of the latter, he gives the
following details, intended to apply to the southern groups in gen-
eral: ‘‘The most dangerous missile was the w77/z or stone, from
the ma or sling. The latter was prepared with great care, and
made with finely braided fibres of the cocoa-nut husk, or filaments
of the native flax, having a loop to fasten it to the hand at one
end, and a wide receptacle for the stone in the centre.’’+ The de-
scription of the shape would probably answer for the Hawaiian
specimen in Fig. 6, if the latter were undamaged.
A model of a very neat appearing sling (Fig. 7) has been
given to the Museum by Mr. Edgar Henriques. It was made to
his order by S. W. Kahikina, of Kiilae, Kona, Hawaii, and, ac-
cording to the maker, represents the form once used in this group.
Its principal characteristic is the replacement of the pocket by two
loops, which are well adapted to hold the double conical sling-
stone. ‘The material is the Hawaiians’ most durable fibre, o/ona
( Touchardia latifolia). It will be noticed that, in this example, as
in No. 4812, the technique changes; but from twisted cords to
braided loops. One character not present in the older specimen
is the arrangement of the handles. The held cord of this sling
ends in a running loop for the wrist, while the freed cord termi-
nates in a large knot.

Director's Report for 1916, A7
There are in the Museum no slings from Southern Polynesia
to compare with Ellis’ account, but there are some from the Caro-
line Islands, of thickly braided coir, which are provided with a
large plain loop for the wrist, and not the running loop.
7- MODEL OF SLING MADE OF OLONA FIBRE, WITH SLING-STONE.
Going farther afield were found slings from the west coast of
New Britain, and the neighboring Siassi Islands, in which the
pocket is a fold, of palm leaf-sheath fibre, attached to twisted
or braided cords of other material. ‘The held cord in each of the
[239]
48 Director's Report for 1916.
two slings did not terminate in a loop, but a large tassel of the
sheath fibre. These islands are, of course, outside the Polyne-
sian area.
Ellis’ other notes on the Southern Polynesian weapon are in-
teresting. ‘‘The sling was held in the right hand, and, armed
with the stone, was hung over the right shoulder, and caught by
the left hand on the left side of the back. When thrown, the sling,
after being stretched across the back, was whirled around over the
head, and the stone discharged with great force.’’' ‘They were,
he said, powerful and expert marksmen, and the stones when (as
was general) thrown horizontally four or five feet from the ground,
were seen with difficulty, and often did much execution.” He noted
further that the Hawaiians slung their stones with great force and
precision, and were supposed to have been able to strike a small
stick at fifty yards’ distance, four times out of five.s The latter
were very expert in avoiding a stone, if they saw it thrown.+
The stones seen by Ellis, in the South, were water-worn peb-
bles, and some ‘‘sharp, angular and rugged.’’ The latter may
have been the double conical form, artificially shaped, found
through Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia. He failed to see
the latter type (outlined in Fig. 7) in these islands, as he men-
tioned only those which were stream- and beach-worn.
In Dr. Brigham’s description of various Oceanic sling-stones,
he seems to infer that the pointed oval stone was so shaped that it
could be made to revolve on its axis by the skill of the slinger and
thereby attain directness of aim. I would be more inclined to at-
tribute a simpler motive in the manufacture and to suppose that
the development of a longer axis was a requirement necessary to
prevent the stone from rolling out of the pocket of the sling.
A POI-POUNDER PLATTER OF STONE.
The wooden platters or troughs, on which poi was pounded,
have been described and figured by Dr. W. T. Brigham.® The ordi-
nary form was a long, wide and thick platter, slightly concave on
the upper surface, with straight parallel sides and rounded ends,
and was generally large enough to accommodate a worker at each

end.' Another and shorter form for a single worker was of rarer oc-
currence. So far, all the poi-pounding platters seen were of wood.
An interesting variant of the material for this utensil was
found in the possession of Mr. A. Gross, of Wailuku, Maui, and
kindly presented to the Museum by that gentleman. It was of
stone (Fig. 8), and its size would indicate that it was intended for
a single worker. While its outside periphery is only approxi-

cavity (pounding surface), 545 mm. (21% inches); depth of con-
cavity, 83 mm. (3% inches).
It was found upon enquiry among Hawaiians on the north
coast of Maui that poi-pounding platters of stone were not un-
known, and that the poi-making was done more quickly on stone
than on wood. However, they were not much in favor for the
reason that the stone poi-pounders or pestles were frequently broken
by such use. No other such stone platter has come under our
observation. [242]

This species differs from all other known Hawaiian Araliacee

limits of Zetraplasandra as hitherto known. It does not appear
to be very closely related to the other species, certainly not to the
two known Kauai species, and only bears a superficial resemblance
to 7. hawatiensis Gray in the pubescence. About a dozen trees
were seen at the type locality, usually occuring as individuals in
separated localities. Only one tree was seen at the Haupu Station,
although probably others occur. All were uniform. The panicle
is strictly pendulous, even when very young, those in the illustra-
tion being bent in order to mount them on the herbarium sheet.
Since writing the above, Mr. G. C. Munro has informed me
that he has seen this tree on ridges, somewhere between Makaweli
and Hanapepe on Kauai. [240]

Director's Report for 1917.
IN presenting his last report of the activities of the Bishop
Museum the present Director may avail himself of the last official
opportunity of presenting his thanks to the Board of Trustees for
allowing him, as a parting gift, a year’s vacation, and also the title
' of Director Emeritus. Such courtesy makes easier the ending of
twenty-eight years of work in this Museum. Sad feeling that
is merely personal becomes infinitely small in presence of the
world-wide sorrow often coming home to those less able to bear
crosses.
I do not propose here to review the work of those years so full
of hope for ideals now ended; when the two small rooms originally
allotted to the Museum have grown almost to the number desired,
even longed for, both by Mr. Bishop and myself; I dismiss the
growth of the body of the Museum as a matter in which I can have
no part.
The first official issue of the Museum Press was my Annual
Report in 1898, one half of which I put in type before we had a
printer, and it remained as I left it, when our printer put the finished
report to press. At that time the Board of Trustees consisted of:
Sanford B. Dole, LL.D. - - - - President
William O. Smith - - - = Vice-President
Rey. Charles M. Hyde, D.D. - - - Secretary
Henry Holmes - - - - . Treasurer
Samuel M. Damon, Joseph O. Carter, William F. Allen
The Museum Staff was:
William T. Brigham, A.M., A.A.S., etc. - - Director
Acland Wansey - - - . - - Curator
John J. Greene - - - - - - Printer
PEt eN ce et tae ee - - - - - Taxidermist
This report has been long out of print, but the important parts
of it were reprinted in the Report of a Journey Around the World

issued in 1913. ‘Two of the above Trustees have resigned; three
are dead. Of the Staff all survive, although Mr. Wansey has re-
turned to his home in Australia.
Before the establishment of the Museum Press our only audi-
ence was the small company of visitors who found their way to the
exhibition halls which were open at first only one day in the week.
Our publications at once carried the Museum, as it were, over the
world for our ever increasing list of exchanges now numbers 146,
and it may be seen from the printed list how widely they are dis-
tributed. Our Annual Reports help to bind together the director-
ates of the various museums in a very agreeable system of mutual
exchange of professional information, and in leaving this distin-
guished and learned company I desire to acknowledge the number-
less instances of assistance and information I have received from
my confréres in many countries. If I have been able in some in-
stance to be of use to my colleagues it has been but little in propor-
tion to the greater knowledge and far more extensive collections
of the older museums that I have laid under contribution always
most kindly rendered.
During the past year this Museum has lost from its staff a
greater number than in any previous year. Y. En Tseu, our
Chinese draughtsman, left us to continue his studies in the Univer-
sity of Louisiana, and his skill is greatly missed. August Perry,
assistant printer for some years, and J. C. Bridwell, temporary as-
sistant in Entomology have both left the Museum; Miss M. Claire
Steinbring and her successor as Library assistant, Miss Lucile
Lucas, have both been called away from the Islands; Lieutenant
Richard Ernest Lambert who so satisfactorily filled the position of
Director’s assistant, has returned at the call of his Country to his
former position in the Navy and has sailed as Paymaster on the
Schurz. Of all these only Miss Lucas’s place has been filled. An
assistant in the Printery is greatly needed with the work on the two
volumes of Fornander papers to be printed. But the new Director
[250]
Director's Report for 1917. 5
may have different plans for the needed assistants, and his hand
should be free.
The Staff at the end of 1917 was as follows:
William T. Brigham, Sc.D. (Columbia) - - Director
William H. Dall, Ph.D. - Honorary Curator of Mollusca
John F. G. Stokes - Curator of Polynesian Ethnology
C. Montague Cooke, Ph.D. ( Yale) - Curator of Pulmonata
Charles N. Forbes - - - Curator of Botany
Otto H. Swezey - - Honorary Curator of Entomology
John W. Thompson - - - Artist and Modeler
Miss Elizabeth B. Higgins - - - Librarian
John J. Greene - - - - - - Printer
M. L,. Horace Reynolds - - - Cabinet Maker
Mrs. Helen M. Helvie - Superintendent of Exhibitions
John Lung Chung, Thomas Keolanui and John Pen-
chula- - . . - - - - - Janitors
To all of these the Director tenders his heartfelt thanks for
most ready and unfailing assistance and cooperation which has
made his labor pleasant among many difficulties and disappoint-
ments, and without which the Museum could not have held its
creditable position.
During the year Hon. Samuel M. Damon and Alfred W. Carter
have resigned from the Board of Trustees and Mr. William William-
son and Mr. Richard H. Trent have been appointed in their place.
Ethnology.—Mr. Stokes reports as follows:
‘“ACCESSIONS.—These are listed in the following pages. The
number and total value show a great falling off from the average
of the few preceding years, which can be explained, though only
partly, by the Curator’s activity in other branches of Museum
work. Some of the gifts and loans, however, are worthy of especial
notice. Among the former may be mentioned the body part of a
canoe dug up ina peat bog on Washington Island and presented
by the Greig brothers, and two wooden idols given by the Pacific
Mill Co. through the kindness of Mr. J. W. Waldron.
‘Of the loans there should be mentioned a large general collec-
tion from Mr. A. L. C. Atkinson, which represented well the tools
of the Hawaiians; it also included a drum, and a damaged speci-
men of the very rare Necker Island images. Mrs. E. K. Mehrten
[251]
6 Director's Report for 1917.
loaned good specimens of a kapa and a mat, which had been used
by certain chiefs, and a Fijian club, said to have been the favorite
weapon of Kaumualii, King of Kauai. Mr. E. A. Knudsen loaned
two wooden idols of unusual form, which were cast and returned.
From Mr. G.C. Munro were borrowed three uncommon specimens,
selected from his collection, and from Mrs. James Munro, part ofa
pestle on the handle of which an animal face had been carved.
“FIELD Worxk.—Although the Curator himself undertook no
expeditions during the year, the offer of Mr. Charles S. Dole of
Lihue, Kauai, to make additional measurements of the site of the
ancient structure crowning Mauna Kahili, was accepted. His
notes on the trip, measurements of the site and report of interviews
with residents have been received and filed for future reference,
and will without doubt prove of much value.
‘‘Notes on ethnographical specimens were prepared and pub-
lished in the Annual Report for 1916.
‘““HEIAU AND SUBSIDIARY WORK TO HAWAIIAN WORSHIP.—
My draughtsman, Y. En Tseu, left in the middle of the year to
continue his studies in the Louisiana University. Before he left
he completed the platting of the heiau sites from the Curator’s
survey notes, and calculated the positions of most ofthem. In ad-
dition he copied on the typewriter a large amount of material from
native manuscripts and newspapers concerning heiau, together
with translations by the Curator. His services were of great as-
sistance.
‘In connection with this work, the Curator has through the
kindness of Father Reginald Yzendoorn of the ‘Catholic Mission,
and others, secured for the use of the Museum a number of manu-
script and published accounts of Hawaiian worship and the heiau
by writers in the native language. Combined with the Museum’s
collections, there are now available the native accounts of Malo,
S.M. Kamakau, Kamakau of Kaawaloa, Haleole, Kepelino, Pogue,
anonymous native writers and others, and all the portions germane
to the subject have been translated or retranslated by the Curator,
except a few chapters of Malo. In this work assistance has been
received from Messrs. T. G. Thrum, W. H. Rice, J. S. Emerson,
John Wise and others. The most important section, Malo’s chap-
ter on heiau, has been submitted with full notes to Rev. Henry H.
[252]
Director's Report for 1977. 7
Parker for comment, but not yet returned. As mentioned in the
previous Report, an understanding of the heiau subject was ob-
tained from these accounts not possible by other means today.
‘‘Being requested by the Director to report on the remains of
the ancient feather sash belonging to the Museum, the same was
studied and the pattern worked out. A study of its technique,
however, required a minute examination of other specimens of
feather work which is proceeding and will, it is hoped, result ina
paper on the technique of Hawaiian feather work.
“TRAVELING EXHIBIT.— Five of the padded compartment
cases to hold the casts for this exhibit have been prepared by the
carpenter. However, all of the specimens selected have not been
cast, as Mr. Thompson must give his first attention to the perish-
able fish and fruit as they are found.
‘“MouLD IN CASES.—This was brought up in my report for
1915 and suggestions made for a remedy. However, an experi-
ment of continually burning electric lights in the cases was tried
and while the mould was reduced, it was not eliminated. At the
beginning of this year the lights were turned off for a month, and
the mould returned more abundantly than ever. It would now be
well to take up the matter of damp-proofing the cases.
‘““WoRK OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT.— Zhe Hawaiian Rat.
Living specimens of the supposedly extinct native rat were sent to
Dr. Witmer Stone of Philadelphia in 1915 for description. His
manuscript was not received until the last week of 1916, and was
published in 1917, with additional notes by the Curator.’
‘“This year specimens of the Fanning Island rat were received
from Mr. W. H. C. Greig, and appear distinct from the Hawaiian
species. Dr. Stone was asked if he would care to examine them
for description if necessary, but since he has not replied, it may be
presumed that he will be unable to do so. In one of his letters he
expressed the fear that his increasing office and editorial work
would compel him to abandon his systematic work.
““LEGISLATION.— While studying the haunts of the native rat
the attention of the Curator was drawn to the wanton destruction
by human beings of the native bird life on the coastal islands of
* Occasional Papers, Vol. Ill, No. 4. |
[253]
8 Director's Report for 1917.
Oahu. Owing to the lack of a curator of ornithology in the
museum, or an active member of the Audubon Society in the Ter-.
ritory, the Curator felt impelled to interest local people in the pro-
tection of birds and other land forms of native life in places where
government protection had not been afforded. The Legislature of
this year passed a law authorizing the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry to draw up regulations to control the unfortunate situa-
tion, and the Board has the matter wellin hand. The Curator has
further cooperated with Chief Forester C. S. Judd in placing warn-
ing signs on some of the islands.’’
Botany.— Owing to the unfortunate illness of the Curator, no
full account can be given of what has been a very busy year in
this department. The Curator spent some months on Lanai, Kauai,
and Maui and collected many plants, how many must appear in
a subsequent report. Exchanges have also been numerous and
important. He was engaged in poisoning his late accessions at
the time he was seized with his illness, and attributed it, in part at
least, to this disagreeable work. No doubt when his report ap-
pears it will show a decided increase in not only the number of
specimens, but in the value of the herbarium as a whole.
The most important addition to the herbarium during the year
was due to the fortunate discovery by Rev. J. M. Lydgate, of
Lihue, Kauai, in his former home at Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, of an
almost forgotten collection of Hawaiian plants collected or named
by Dr. Hillebrand numbering some four hundred and fifty speci-
mens. ‘This was examined by the Curator and found in excellent
condition and the Trustees at once purchased it. It is fortunate
that so much of Dr. Hillebrand’s collection should be here in
Hawaii; the rest of the material he used in writing his //ora of the
Hawatian Islands is elsewhere.
Ornithology.—As the Museum has had no curator of orni-
thology, it has fallen to the lot of the Director to remove the entire
stored collection from the strawboard boxes in which they were
[254]
Director's Report for 1917. 9
carefully packed to the steel trays in the steel cases provided for
their safe storage. This has been done with care and the collec-
tion was found generally in good order. Labels designating family,
genus and species were printed and placed upon cases and trays,
and the specimens were arranged in the cases, systematically in
regard to the Hawaiian portion, and the balance of the collection
geographically. This work has taken part of the last two years,
and I have been assisted by Messrs. H. Leon Ebersole, Woods
Peters, in their vacation time, and by my Secretary Richard Ern-
est Lambert, until the catalogue is complete, so far as there is room
in the cases, and each species can readily be found. Before under-
taking the task, I did not imagine that the Museum presented so
many species not only indigenous to these islands, but also from
the other groups of the Pacific and the coast of California, and
Australia and the East Indies. They are in such excellent cases,
that with occasional airing the specimens should last many years,
even if the Museum has no regular curator of ornithology.
Pulmonata.—The Curator of Pulmonata, Dr. C. Montague
Cooke, reports:
‘In the year 1917 your Curator can report that more work
has been accomplished than in any previous year. Practically all
the material that has come in during the year has been catalogued
except the specimens collected on Molokai during the early part of
December. In addition numerous odd lots of shells were cata-
logued, some of which had been acquired by collection or gift as
fer back as 1913. ‘There still remain six different collections wait-
ing to be catalogued (estimated between 50,000 and 75,000), made
up for the most part of the genus Achatinella. As these shells
ought to be numbered individually, your Curator does not feel like
undertaking the work at present as the amount of time necessary
to do this can be more advantageously employed.
‘‘COLLECTION.—The type and cotype material belonging to the
genus Auriculella has been catalogued and arranged in the collec-
tion. Also the entire collection of this genus, made before 1905,
was entered into the catalogue. This contained more than 14,000
[255]
IO Director's Report for 1977.
specimens distributed over 490 catalogue numbers. During the
year 62,661 new specimens were catalogued and added to the col-
lection. Of these 21,492 were acquired by gift, 9602 in return for
preparing and naming specimens of other collectors, 5455 by collec-
tion of other members of the staff, 25,499 by collection of the Curator,
and 613 types, cotypes and paratypes of Auviculella. These 62,661
specimens were distributed over 3467 catalogue numbers. Alto-
gether (including Auriculella) 76,689 specimens were catalogued
during the year, which exceeds the largest year’s addition (1914)
by nearly eight thousand specimens.
‘“The George Munro collection of the genus Partulina from
Ianai was purchased during the year. This collection though
not large is a valuable one to the Museum as the exact locality
and date of collection is placed with each lot of shells and the col-
lection is accompanied by a map showing each of the localities.
“FreELD WorK.—No extended collecting trip was undertaken
during the year, single day trips being the rule. The shells which
were collected by the Curator and catalogued represent forty-two
days of field work, not all of which were taken during the vear, as,
as stated above one or two of the lots were collected as far back as
1913. The bulk of catalogued specimens was collected during the
latter part of 1916 and 1917.
PUBLICATION.—A short paper dealing with some new species
and varieties of the genus 4mastra appeared during the early part
of the year.
Girrs.—Your Curator wishes to thank the following persons
for their gifts catalogued during the past year: Dr. H. A. Pilsbry,
Messrs. A. F. and J. Gouveia, I. Spalding, P. H. Timberlake,
R. Mist, D. Thaanum, F. P. Pierce, B.C. Oliveira, J. S. Bmer
son, D. Fleming, G. P. Cooke, C. N. Forbes and J. C. Bridwell;
Parker Ranch; Mrs. G. W. Bryan; Miss Carolene Cooke; Masters
Girdler, Desnouée, Lorimer and C. M. Cooke III.’’
Dr. Cooke’s list of Leptachatina, Pauahia, Auriculella, Gulickia,
Elasmias, Tornatellina, Tornatellides and Tornatellaria will be
found later in this report. It will not only show the richness of the
Museum collection but be of no little use in arranging exchanges.
[256]
Lirector’s Report for 1917. vim
Modeling.—Mr. J. W. Thompson, our Artist and Modeler,
has been fully occupied during the year. He reports as cast and
painted twenty-six ethnological specimens, some for the traveling
collection, others of loans, among the latter remarkable copies of
wooden idols; also sixteen casts of fish, five of fruit, two of mollusks,
two of Hippocampus, a total of fifty-one finished models. In addition
to these, fifteen unfinished casts. He has also prepared two bird
skins and two crabs. Among the fish was one born without a tail,
apparently a new species of Chzetodontide. The collection of fish
casts in this Museum now far surpasses any similar collection and
surely deserves a handbook, but before this can be written the
many species in the collection unnamed and undescribed should be
studied by an expert, and the Museum has no curator of marine
zoology.
Entomology.—Quoting from the report of the Honorary
Curator Mr. Otto H. Swezey, where he speaks of the Helms collec-
tion: ‘‘This large collection will furnish an inexhaustible source
of entomological work in the future, as a great deal of it consists of
unnamed specimens, and it will always be of great value for refer-
ence by the entomologists of Honolulu, as well as of interest to the
casual visitor, as it contains so many beautiful and queer forms, as
well as many of immense size and peculiar structures.’’
While the orders Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidop-
tera, Hymenoptera and Neuroptera were transferred from the old
boxes in which they came to the Museum to the new cabinet
drawers without any special study, of the Coleoptera the large
families Cicindelidze, Carabideze, Scarabzeide, Buprestide, Tene-
brionidz, Cerambycide and Chrysomelidz were specially studied
to determine their proper arrangement in the cabinets. There yet
remain to be transferred part of the Chrysomelide, the Curculi-
onidze and several minor families, and the New Zealand Coleoptera.
In referring to the work on the Hawaiian collections Mr.
Swezey continues: ‘‘The Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera and part
[257]
12 Director's Report for ror7.
of the Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Orthoptera have been trans-
fered to the new cabinets from the drawers in Hawaiian Hall where
they have been for the past several years. They are thus put ina
more convenient location for reference and study by any of the
local entomologists.
‘During the year Mr. Bridwell has added to the collection of
Hawaiian insects the following specimens collected by him in the
mountains and other parts of Oahu: Hymenoptera, 570 specimens;
Diptera, 158; Coleoptera, 975; Orthoptera, 44; Hemiptera, 933;
Neuroptera, 17; Odonata, 10; Lepidoptera, 543. A total of 3250
specimens which is more than one-fifth the number of the speci-
mens already in the collection of Hawaiian insects. This new
material has not been worked up, but it is readily seen that there
are many species among them not hitherto in the collection, and
there are also some new species among them.’’ It should be noted
that hitherto the Museum has had but sixty-four per cent of the
number of species listed in the /auna Hawatiensis. This is an
indication of the importance of having a working curator under
Mr. Swezey in this department. The number of insects if not of
species certainly seems to be increasing on these Islands.
Exhibitions.—Quoting from the report of Mrs. Helen M.
Helvie, Superintendent of Exhibition Halls, in regard to the rela-
tion of the Museum to the public: ‘‘The attendance has kept up
very well in spite of the changes in steamer schedules, and the
withdrawal of many of the passenger boats between Honolulu and
the Coast. More local people have visited the Museum, and soldiers
from the neighboring forts frequently spend an hour or two of their
spare time in going through the Museum, and enjoying the ex-
hibits. ‘The attendance of school children has been steadily in-
creasing. This year we have had forty-five classes with 1290 pupils
from different schools, public and private; and very genuine inter-
est in the specimens is always shown.’’ I might add to the report
my own impressions of some of our soldier visitors, whom I have
[258]
Director's Report for 1977. 13
accidentally met in the galleries and have conversed with. In ex-
plaining or directing their attention to particular objects I have
found a much greater interest and intelligence than in the average
visitor. I have seldom conducted a party of these young men from
case to case without feeling myself refreshed instead of wearied: if
all the American soldiers could prove as bright, clean, vigorous and
receptive as those I have met by chance in the Museum halls, there
would be a bright augury for the triumph of the American troops.

It is rather surprising to see for the past year the native Hawaii-
ans are represented by only 713 while Chinese count 1142 and Jap-
anese, the major part of the population of the Territory, register
only 2599. ‘The Chinese have always been among the most inter-
ested of our visitors, and yet they are the only people excluded
from free access to /7ee America!
Museum Press.—The greater part of the year the printer
has been busy with the Fornander papers which are being pre-
pared for the press under the able editorship of the veteran pub-
lisher and antiquarian, Mr. Thomas G. Thrum. Last year the first
part was issued and this year the first volume has been completed
and would have been issued except for some delay on the index of
nearly fifty quarto pages. This has passed the press and will be
distributed early in 1918. As the remainder of the Fornander
papers will fill two of the average volumes of the Museum J/emozrs,
and the printing of these will occupy much time, the first part of
Volume VII of the JZemozrs has been largely put in type and will
soon be issued. The Annual Report of the Director for 1976 has
also been issued during the year. As during the latter part of the
year our printer has been without assistance, and during the tem-
porary absence of Mr. Thrum has had difficult work with the Hawaii-
an version of the Fornander papers, especially in proofreading, a
difficulty the Director shared with him, he deserved commendation.
It might be wise in selecting an assistant to fill the existing vacancy
to consider an educated Hawaiian printer, if one can be found.

Director's Report for 1917. I
on
After no little delay and by the efficient system of ‘‘trackers’’
a large consignment of printing paper of the quality used in our
publications traveled from Maine and was finally shipped to us.
Library.—From the report of Miss Elizabeth Higgins, Libra-
rian, I quote the following:
‘‘In some ways the year just closed has been the most satisfac-
tory in the history of the Library, though a change of assistants.
early in the spring interfered rather seriously with the progress of
our work. However, two weeks after Miss Steinbring left we were
fortunate in securing the services of Miss Lucile Lucas, whose ex-
perience in a San Francisco office enabled her quickly to learn the
routine of our office and library work. In addition to her regular
duties, Miss Lucas prepared a shelf list for a large part of the
library and made a number of copies of manuscripts and special]
articles required by the Director and members of the staff. Carbon
copies of these articles were covered in heavy paper, labeled, and
placed in the Library as separates. I regret that the offer of a con-
siderably higher salary has caused our capable assistant to return
to the Coast, thus making the training of another the first work of
the new year.
‘‘ACCESSIONS.— The accessions from exchanges continue to de-
crease, the number of volumes from that source completed this year
being only seventy as compared with one hundred and ninety-six in
1913. On the other hand gifts, especially of local publications,
have been large and the purchases include a number of rare vol-
umes and parts that were much needed. Among the more import-
ant purchases may be mentioned the following:
The Ak, 1900-1917, completing the series from 1584.
Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, 26 early publications.
Lacordaire et Chapuis, Genera des Coleoptéres. Paris, 1854-1876.
Photostatic copy of Ingraham’s | ovage of the Hope, 1790-1792.
(Original manuscript in the Library of Congress. )
Hooker and Arnott, Botany of the Blossom. London, 1531-1833.
(Parts I-IV only. Hawaiian section complete. )
‘‘The gifts of the year include a large quantity of newspapers
and periodicals in the Hawaiian language, representing twenty-six
different publications, dating from 1849. For these thanks are due
[261 ]
16 Director’s Report for 1917.
especially to the Hawaiian Historical Society, the Territorial Gov-
ernment through Mr. Lydecker, and the Catholic Mission through
the Rev. Father Yzendoorn. From the Historical Society we re-
ceived also a large quantity of books, pamphlets and parts in Eng-
lish, including eight volumes and thirty-three parts of the J/7sszon-
ary Flerald, 1846-1867, needed in completing our file. Letters from
Father Coan, and other missionaries, giving descriptions of man-
ners and customs in Hawaii and numerous observations on the
volcano of Kilauea, make this series a valuable one for the Museum.
‘‘Karly in the autumn a systematic effort was made to discover
how many early Hawaiian newspapers and periodicals were still
in existence in the homes of the people. With this object in view,
more than a hundred letters were written to ministers, district
magistrates, circuit court judges, legislative representatives and
others on the different islands. We are indebted to the Rev. Henry
P. Judd for assistance in regard to names and addresses. Many
answers were received but only two of them could be considered
favorable. One man wrote that he had kept files of several publi-
cations, giving the list; the other replied that he had a few Hawaii-
an papers which he did not care tosell. The result of this canvass
shows that practically no files of Hawaiian publications are now in
existence outside of institutions and the large libraries of collectors,
and that what we have been able to collect is an important acqui-
sition.
“BINDING AND EXCHANGES.—One hundred and ninety-three
books have been bound and the list of exchanges has been in-
creased by four.
“INDEXING. The indexing of the more important Pacific voy-
ages is now fairly under way, four drawers of a card cabinet being
now filled with the index to Cook’s last voyage (London, 1784.
3 vols.) The ethnological subject headings are based largely on
those used in Wofes and Queries on Anthropolog y—published for the
British Association for the Advancement of Science—and Frazer’s
Questions on the Customs, Beliefs and Languages of Savages.
Although considerable work in the way of combining and revising
must yet be done before it is in any sense complete, the index is
now ready for use and in fact is now being used. Next will come
an index of the same voyage by William Ellis, surgeon on the
[ 262 }
Director's Report for 1917. 7
‘‘Resolution’’ (London, 1783, 2 vols. 8vo.). A steel card cabinet
is now needed for the indexes to the voyages.
‘The listing of duplicates and the classification of our lists of
‘wants’ have been begun. When the work is complete copies will
be sent to all the institutions on our exchange list. This method,
we hope, may unearth some important items that we have not been
able to obtain from book dealers.
‘‘Requests come to us from time to time for information in re-
gard to lists of books on Hawaii. One of the librarians in the
Library of Hawaii recently brought up the question of an Hawaii-
an bibliography saying how urgently a good one was needed. By
way of suggestion, I may give my opinion that a good bibliography
could be prepared at the Museum by collecting the lists on special
subjects already prepared by the curators of departments and by
getting some help from outside specialists. General works should,
I think, be limited to those of original observers, or else the list
should be annotated. Such a work could not well be undertaken
by the Museum at present, but the need of it is unquestioned.’’
The Librarian is right in her opinion that this work could not
be undertaken at present when the Museum has but three active
curators of botany, ethnology and pulmonata. ‘This Museum has
no curator of ornithology to speak for the bird life and history; no
curator of marine zoology to speak of the fishes and their vast and
much studied life, of the corals, that some day may prove an index
to the age and formation of not only islands but continents within
the limits of coral growth, indeed of the life of the ocean almost as
extensive as the life of the land, and some day to take his place as
head of the marine zoological station that Mr. Bishop gives a promi-
nent place in his Deed of Trust, and for which the Legislature of
the Republic of Hawaii granted a location, and the Director of this
Museum made plans that were approved by Alexander Agassiz
and Dr. Dohrn of Naples; no curator of geology to call attention to
all that has been written on the volcanic manifestations on this
Group; no taxidermist to care for the large collection now in the
Museum of bird skins, nests and eggs; now without going farther,

[263]
18 Director's Report for 1917.
if the Librarian cares to enter this field as it now stands, while I do
not doubt her ability to accomplish the task, the labor will be very
great. If after the war the new Director should be able to fill some
of the vacant curatorships, the labor will be much lightened, and
that there is need of such a bibliography is well known to every
one who is interested in museum work or who cares to look into
Hawaiian matters. If the bibliography could be made to include
Hawaiian matters of natural history as well as descriptive eth-
nology contained in many volumes of 7vazsactions in the Museum
Library it would indeed be an acquisition.

Leptachatinze and Tornatellinidze in the
B. P. Bishop Museum.
By C. MONTAGUE COOKE JR.
IN presenting the following catalogue of Leptachatine and
Tornatellinidz in the Museum collection, the list is made to in-
clude all the species, subspecies and varieties recognized in Vol-
umes XXI and XXIII of the Manual of Conchology. All the
forms listed are present in the Museum collection except those
lacking a statement of the authority of identification. The author
intends that this list may be considered a preliminary catalogue
showing merely what species are at present in our collection.
It may seem advisable at some future date to publish cata-
logues of genera or groups of species based on the collections now
in the Museum. A very few species in our collection were not
dealt with at the time the manuscripts were prepared for the
Manual of Conchology (due to insufficient material), and numer-
ous new forms are continually being added. ‘The scope of these
catalogues will be to show as far as possible our knowledge of the
distribution and variation of each of the species dealt with.
A summary tabulation follows the list. We are fortunate to
have represented in our collections such a large percentage of what
may be considered type material.

The Genus Lagenophora in the Hawaiian Islands,
with Descriptions of New Species.
CHARLES N. FORBES.
OCTOBER, 1918.
THE first Hawaiian representative of this small genus of the
Composites was discovered by Horace Mann on the summit of
West Maui where it is still a common plant. It also occurs on
Eke, a small isolated crater to the west of the summit peak Puu
Kukui,’ but has not been reported from elsewhere. Two unde-
scribed species, noted below, occur in bogs on Kauai, while per-
haps these or others may eventually be found in bogs on Molokai,
East Maui and Hawaii. ‘The habitats of the Hawaiian species are
the open bogs of the humid rain-forests at elevations of 4,000 to
6,000 feet. The rainfall in these localities varies from 200 to 600
inches per annum with some rain or fog practically every day in
the year.
While on Eke I noticed two forms of ZL. maviensts Mann which
at first sight seemed to be distinct varieties, but further study in
field and herbarium shows them to be simply variations of a single
species. The species and forms may be described as follows:

‘In conversation with Rev. J. M. Lydgate I learn that the Eeka locality
of Dr. Hillebrand is the point now generally known as Puu Kukui, and so
recorded on the official maps. This fact is of considerable importance to the
student of Hawaiian botany because the two localities have similar though
slightly different floras. Keka is given by Hillebrand as the type locality for
some of his species, while in reality Puu Kukui is the place where the plants
were collected. It is practically impossible to reach Eke from Puu Kukui;
and I very much doubt if Hillebrand ever visited the locality. There may be
some question as to whether Eke and Keka are the same place.

Type locality, top of the mountain of West Maui. Mann &
Brigham, No. 440.
Minutely viscous-pubescent herb with a thick creeping rhizome.
Leaves radical or crowded on a short stem, coriaceous, sessile,
cuneate to spatulate-oblanceolate, acute or rounded at the apex
which is coarsely serrate, entire toward the base, covered with
resinous glands and a short, evanescent, pubescence above, pale
and glabrous below, 4.8 cm. long, 6 mm. wide (‘‘About 2 inches
long, 4-6 lines wide,’’ Mann). Scape 18-23 cm. long, distantly
foliose with 3-9 linear-spatulate bracts. Heads globose, large for
the genus, 1.5 cm. in diameter. Involucral bracts linear-oblong,
acute, membranous, pubescent, equaling the disk. Ray florets
entire, pointed, in 3-4 series, slightly longer than the yellow disk
florets, reddish purple. Achenes narrow-lanceolate, the beak
glandular-hispid.

Lagenophora maviensis forma emarginata f. nov.
This form is generally a smaller plant with shorter scapes of
3-8 cm. in length. The flowers are often darker colored, and the
rays are emarginate, usually conspicuously so. The common oc-
currence of small plants with entire rays, and the rare occurrence
of large plants with emarginate rays prevent the separation of va-
rieties. Forma emarginata looks very distinct when growing.

longis, 3-4 mm. latis; scapo 6-7.4 cm. longo; capitulo parvo, 8 mm. crasso;

Type locality, Alakai swamp, Waimea drainage basin, west
side, Kauai. C.N. Forbes, No. 882, K. July 3 to August 18,
1917. Collected while in the company of Hon. Eric A. Knudsen
and others.
Glabrous or slightly viscous herb with slender creeping rhi-
zome. Leaves very small, radical or crowded on a short stem,
coriaceous, sessile, cuneate to spatulate-oblanceolate, rounded at
the coarsely serrate apex with one or two minute teeth below,
glabrous, pale below, 1.1-1.6 cm. long, 3-4 mm. wide. Scape 6-7.4
cm. long, distantly foliose with 1-2 minute leaf-like bracts. Heads
small, 8 mm. in diameter. Involucral bracts oblong-cuneate,
acute, membranous, glandular-pubescent, equaling the disk. Ray
florets entire, pointed, as long as the disk florets, purplish. Achenes
obovoid-oblong.
This species differs from other Hawaiian species in its small,
glabrous leaves, and in the small flower heads. It remains to be
seen whether robust forms of this species do not occur in the Ala-
kai swamp country.

cem minutim serratis, 1.6-1.7 cm. longis, 6-7 mm. latis; scapo 7 cm. longo,
hirto; capitulo 9 mm. crasso; inyolucro-bracteis oblongis, acutis, hirsutis;
ligulis disco equalis. Achenia ignota.
Type locality, swamp near Kaholuamano, Kauai. J. M. Lyd-
gate (1915?)
Small, hirsute herb with slender, creeping rhizome. Leaves
very small, radical, coriaceous, obovate to spatulate, contracting
at the base into a very short-margined petiole, rounded and finely
serrate at the apex, hirsute on both faces, 1.6-1.7 cm. long, 6-7
mm. wide. Scape 7 cm. long, hirsute, foliose near the head with
linear-spatulate bracts. Heads globose, 9 mm.in diameter. Invo-
lucral bracts oblong, acute, equaling the disk. Achenes not seen,
This species is evidently very rare as only a single specimen
was collected, but is, however, so distinct as to warrant description.
The species can be recognized at once by the hirsute pubescence,
and shape of the leaves. It is hoped to obtain further material
in the future for a more minute examination of ray flowers and
achenes.
