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 ] 6 Director's Annual Report.

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.

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; Messrs. H. A. Pilsbry, D. Thaanum, I. Spalding, J. S. Emerson, [48] Director's Annual Report. 9 mare yudd, Ge P. Wilder: €. A Rice, W.. H.

Marshall; Masters Mott-Smith, Lindley, Paris, Weedon, Emerson, von Holt, H.andC. M. Cooke III. Over fifteen thousand 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] IO Director's Annual Report. 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. [st] 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 [52] Director's Annual Report. 13 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. [53] 14 Director's Annual Report. 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 *These important notes came to hand too late to issue with the illustrations that had been prepared for the last annual report. They are inserted here with the proper illustration.

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. [56] “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- *The texture, color and curvature of the adze seem identical with those of a specimen of cone which Dr. C. Montague Cooke has identified for me as C. quercinus Hwass. [58] HENRIQUES COLLECTION. OOD. HAWAIIAN SLED OF BREADFRUIT W Bye 20 Director's Annual Report. 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 24 Director's Annual Report. 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. Continuing Mr. Stokes’ report with the LIST OF ETHNOLOGICAL ACCESSIONS. Bruce Cartwright, Jr., Honolulu.

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 [69] CARVED DRUM. 6. 7.

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 es 8.

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. [72] List of Accessions. 33 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 OCCASIONAL PAPERS B.P.B.M. VOL. VI, No. 2.—3. [73] 9. YAM DISH AND POUNDER. YAM POUNDERS. Io. 8. P. BISHOP mu II.

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.

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. [86] List of Accessions. 47 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. LOAN COLLECTION. R. W. Andrews, Honolulu.

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] Director's Annual Report. 5 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] CHARLES REED BISHOP Ninetieth Year 8 Director's Annual Report. 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 [130] Director's Annual Report. 15 installed in the Laboratory that have, so far, given great satisfac- tion, and the birds have been placed therein. The unit is of No. 16 enamelled steel 3x3x2 feet outside measurement. ‘The doors open to the full width of the interior and fold back flat as shown in Fig. 4. ‘The doors close on surface of prepared fabric and are secured by Jenks locks with bolts top and bottom. ‘These cases are placed on wooden racks, light but Falconidse Circus hudsonius Buteo solitarius Corvidee Corvus hawaiiensis Heterorhynchus Corvus | xanthophrys hawaliensis exceedingly stiff and strong (Fig. 3), serving to keep the cases from contact with walls or floor and permitting removal of any unit without disturbing its neighbors. The trays are of the same metal in two sizes, supported on triangular runs 2.2 inches apart, welded to sides. For the single cases the dimensions are 22 x 32.7 inches with a depth of 1.7 inch; the smaller size trays for the double cases are 22x15.5 inches. The gauge of the larger trays is No. 20; of the smaller, No. 24. [The double cases have a par- tition in the middle, each half with its own door. ‘The bottoms of [131] 16 Director's Annual Report. the trays are perforated to permit the free circulation of gas in fumigation; each tray has a folding handle with label holder, and on the outside doors are similar but larger holders for the case number and contents (see labels in actual size above). The weight of the empty cases without specimens but with the full 3. RACK FOR STEEL STORAGE CASES. content of trays is, single unit, 14 trays, 170 pounds; double unit, 28 trays, 210 pounds. To house the kapa specimens and such mounted bird specimens as should be kept in the dark, light shelves of redwood are found satisfactory. The insect cases are all of the double type, of the same exterior size, but the trays do not have perforations but interior rims covered with an upper surface of felt on which the glass cover rests. [132] ‘WOON GUI SVD HOVUOLS AO MAIA ‘PV 18 Director's Annual Report. For placing or removing these heavy cases the very conveni- eut hoisting apparatus of the Economy Engineering Company of 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 [134] Director's Annual Report. 19 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 ' ' i | 5.

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 [135] “dHNHdO HSVO WIONNHY 8) ‘dHNHdO ASVO VInonHY ‘ZL 22 Director's Annual Report. 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] 24 Director's Annual Report. 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.

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] Director's Annual Report. aX ‘The following list shows the number of specimens received during the year.

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 collection, numbering about two thousand specimens, contains a number of interesting color forms of some of the Tantalus and near-by colonies. Gifts of shells have been catalogued from the following: Misses J. Kilbourne, A. and L. von Tempsky, A. T. Copweeand C. A Cooke; Messrs A. F. Judd,. L.A. Thurston, fPespadins, A. Gotiveia; J. S. Emerson, TI. C.. White, D. T. Fleming, P. Spalding, C. H. Cooke and G. P. Cooke; Masters D. R. and C. Penhallow, E. von Tempsky, M. Desnouee, H. and eon, Cooke III.’’ 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.

Capsula ignota. 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- late, pubescent, 2-4 mm. long. Corolla with a slender tube of about 9-10 mm. in length and triangular lobes of about 2-3 mm. long, glabrous. Anthers projecting beyond the tube. Ovary pubescent. Capsule not seen. This is most probably closest related to L. membranacea Mann, the inflorescence resembling that of ZL. fnzfolia Gray. [174] Flora Hawaiiensis. Collected by CN.

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] Flora Hawaiiensis. Collected by CG. 8.

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. [184] Flora Hawaiiensis. Collected by C. N. Fortes oa Onl. Cue Yeas ae w Natfirle, Pht-lire. CYANEA JUDDII FORBES. 70 Director's Annual Report.

Caule simplici, 18-24 dm. altus; foliis late-ellipticiis, acuminatis, basi acutis, undulatis, glabris, 23.4 cm. longis, 9.8 cm. latis, cum petiolis 12.2 cm. longis; pedunculis glabris, 2.8-4.1 cm. longis, pedicellis, 9-10 mm. longis; floribus albis, calyce glabris, tubis cylindricis, 7mm. longis, lobis oblongis, 5 mim. longis; corollis sub-erectis, glabris, 3.4 cm. longis, columnis stamineis glabris. Bacca ignota. Type locality, Mapulehu Valley, Molokai. C. N. Forbes, No. 313, Mo. July, 1912. The upper part of Mapulehu Valley 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] CYANEA PROFUGA FORBES. 72 Director's Annual Report. Cyanea palakea, sp. nov. Caule fruticosa; foliis spathulato-lanceolatis, sinuatis, acutis, aculeatis, subtus pubescentibus, 23.8-28.1 cm. longis, 3.7-5.1 cm. latis, cum petiolis 2-2.9 cm. longis; pedunculis 1.2-1.5 cm. longis, pedicellis 7-8 mm. longis; calyce glabra, tubo 5-6 mm. longo, lobis acutis 3-3.5 mm. longis; corolla alba, falciforma, glabra, 3.6 cm. longa; columna staminea glabra; bacca glo- bosa, luteola, seminibus rubris. Type locality, dense forest east of Palakea, about 10 miles north of Kilauea, Hawaii. C.N. Forbes, No. 1003, H. June 29, IQI5. Stem 6-9 dm. high, sparingly branching, armed with stout yellow or orange-colored spines, epiphyte ontrees. Leaves spathu- late-lanceolate in outline, sinuate, acute, contracting toward the base, glabrous above but more or less armed with stout yellow spines, pubescent below, especially along the rather prominent veins, and spiney, 23.8-28.1 cm. long, 3.7-5.1 cm. wide, with petiole 2-2.9 cm. long. Peduncle short, smooth, rather stout, I.5-1.2 cm. long, the pedicels 7-8 mm. long. Calyx obconical, glabrous, the tube 5-6 mm. long, the teeth narrow acute, 3-3.5 mm. long. Corolla white, nearly glabrous, sparcely puberulent under a lens, falciform, 3.6 cm. long. Staminal column and anthers glabrous. Berry globose, orange-colored, rather flat-topped. Seeds crustaceous, smooth, reddish. This species seems to be most closely related to C. platyphylla Hbd., from which it differs in habit and leaves. While only seen in this locality, it may be expected in other places in these dense woods which have not been thoroughly botanized. [188 } ee > ‘ JoFien / ». — 5 wrt .

Type locality, upper portion of Olokele Valley, Kauai. Rev. J. M. Lydgate. January, 1912. Small glabrous shrub with reddish stems. Leaves filiform, glabrous, 1-nerved, 3-4.3 cm. long. Peduncles one-flowered, gla- brous, 1.8 cm. long in the flowering stage, 4.3-5.4 cm. long in the fruiting stage, inclined to droop. Flowers 5-merous. Sepals narrow lanceolate,5mm.long. Corolla sub-rotate, reddish purple, the lobes widely obovate, 1 cm. high. Stamens a little shorter than the corolla, filaments dilated at the base. Capsule ovoid, crustaceous, smooth, shiny within, 5-valved, 5 mm. long, 3.5 mm, wide. Seeds minute, numerous. This species belongs to the group of ZL. Hillebrandit Hook. and of Z. Remyi Hbd., two species which run into each other with a number of connecting forms. The present species differs essentially in the extreme form of the leaves. The sepals are much narrower than in these species, and the capsule is smaller. We have seen no specimens with leaves intermediate between this and ZL. Remy?.

BisHoP MUSEUM PRESS I9I7 S na N g S s S & aS) S S g ; on gq R zg Sy SS 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] 4 Director's Report for rgr6. 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.” PORTRAIT BY WILTON LOCKWOOD OF : WILLIAM T.

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. * That mis was auaeAbiy Hote I have eens tenements from several of those present.—Note by Director. * The Trustees have since voted to have this excellent suggestion carried out. [199] Co 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. ‘Brighamtia insignis forma citrina forma nova, Forbes and Lydgate. Differs in the lemon yellow corolla, brighter yellow on the inner side of the expanded lobes; in contrast to the creamy or white corolla of the type. The expanded lobes are acute rather than acuminate, and the calyx teeth are shorter, but these are not constant differential characters. Leaves as in the species.

The Printery has by no means been idle. The first part of the Fornander Papers promised in the last Report has been issued and has drawn forth much favorable comment; more than enough to form the second part has been printed, but it has been thought best to issue a larger part later in order to divide the subject matter better. A well-illustrated paper on Hawaiian Amastra, by Dr. Cooke has been distributed, as has the Director’s Annual Report. Mr. Reynolds has been busy in various ways, especially in placing the linings in the steel trays of the entomological cases, a delicate and tedious job which will extend into the next year. A large number of carefully made packing cases have been required for specimens sent to Philadelphia for identification, and for vari- ous other needs. His good work has been well sustained during the year. [211] 9 List of Accessions. ETHNOLOGICAL. By Gift. Anonymous friend of Mr. Henry Holmes, Honolulu: L.
