Tracings of por- tions of maps or charts have been made for curators in a ver}^ convenient and time-saving way. In the Botanical department much work has been done and I (juote from Mr. C. N. Forbes' report to me : "Dr. Wm. T. Brigham, Direcftor of the Bishop Museum. "Dkar vSir: — The bulk of the material received during the year has l)een poisoned, mounted, classified, and incorporated into the herbarium. Work has been continued in poisoning the mounted portion of the herbarium with corrosive sublimate. This work takes a great deal of time, with little to show for it; but it seems absoluteh' necessary not to neglect any possible means of combatting the invasions of our numerous insect pests. The Hawaiian section is practically finished. "Most of the collecting this year was on the smaller islands, or over ground covered before ; so the number of specimens ob- tained was not large, although nearly the same amount of time was spent in the field. During a portion of February and March I accompanied other members of the Museum staff on a trip to the islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe. Very few specimens were colle(5led, but the trip was instrudlive in many ways. The botani- cal results have already been reported on in Volume V, Number 3, of the Occasional Papers of this Museum. For courtesies ex- tended while on the island we are indebted to Mr. Eben P. Low, lessee of Kahoolawe ; and also to Messrs. Arthur Waal and W. A. Gill of Lahaina for aid in obtaining a boat for the trip. "On the return from this trip a week was spent at Lahaina, Maui, for the purpose of collecting on ridges not visited in 191 1. "During the months of June and July an extended trip was made to the island of L,anai which was covered pretty thoroughly', practically^ every ridge and subridge being walked over at least once. There are two rather extensive forest areas on this island with a diversified and interesting flora. A fairly complete set of Director s Annual Report. 5 the plants reported from here wavS collected, which has been con- siderably augmented by a set collected by Mr. G. C. Miinro, who obtained a few not in fruit or flower during my visit. Before this year there was little or nothing from this island in our herbarium. For courtesies extended we are indebted to Messrs. Cecil Brown, George C. Munro, Charles Gay and William Dickson. "During a month's vacation in September a few notes were made on the vegetation of Kauai. A few short trips have been made on Oahu at various times, mainly to study the ecology. "The following list shows the number of specimens added to the herbarium during the year. All contributors should be thanked for their generous interest in this department. Miss Agnes Alexander, Maui 2 Mr. A. DeWitt Alexander, Kauai 2 Dr. C. M. Cooke, Palmyra Island 6 Hon. A. F.

Probably more specimens have been added to the collection than in any other year, but fewer specimens have been catalogued owing to the time spent in studying and in the field. 6 Piirdor's Annua/ Report. "Twelve thousand six hundred and seven shells were cata- logued, the same being distributed over 1300 catalogue numbers. The bulk of the material catalogued has beeu of fresh material. Several lots of fossil earth are in the laboratory, l)ut your Curator has not had time to ]-)ick out and sort the material. The number of shells contained in these lots cannot be less than 100,000. It is only at odd times that these fossil lots can be tended to, as the strain on the eyes is too severe to be continued several days in succession. It is hoped that sonie progress can be made with the fossil material during the coming year. "Among our visitors Dr. H. A. Pillsbry of Philadelphia, for whose trip the Trustees generously provided the funds, was natur- ally the most interesting. Dr. Pilsbry brought out his manuscript of the volume of the Manual of Conchology now appearing, and your Curator worked over this with him, supplying data, etc., on the distribution, variation, and synonymy of the .species dealt wdth in this volume. Dr. Pilsbry has very generously made your Curator co-author of this volume. Several trips were taken by Dr. Pilsbry and the Curator to study problems of distribution and variation in the field so that the Doctor would have a first hand knowledge of the problem. These trips were taken on Oahu, Molokai, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii. "The trips on Oahu were undertaken to study the distribution of some of the well-known Oahuan species and were planned to settle some of the vexing problems of synonymy. These trips also included some of the fossil beds in order that, from their contents, a knowledge of the former (more or less ancient) character of these islands might be obtained. "The same problems were undertaken on the island of Molo- kai. The trip to Kahoolawe was in the nature of an exploring ex- pedition. Fortunatel}' the trip resulted in finding two fossil beds of land-shells. Messrs. Stokes and Forbes later discovered two or three very rich beds. The trip to Hawaii was primarily to study the valuable collection of Mr. Thaanum. During this trip a visit was made to the volcano. Director' s Annual Report. 7 "While in Honolulu the collection in the Museum was care- fully gone over. The collections of Messrs. Thurston, Wilder and J. S, Emerson were also studied. Particular attention was paid to the collection of Mr. Irwin Spalding. This collection, in the opinion of the writer, is the largest and finest of the Oahuan tree- shells ever put together. "The most important trip of the year was to Palmyra Island. The writer was the guest of Judge Henry E. Cooper. Two or three weeks were spent in preparation for this trip as everything necessary for collecting or preserving had to be taken along. It is needless to say that the trip was a success as twenty-seven boxes and bags of specimens are the result. "Sixteen days were spent on the island and all kinds of speci- mens of animal life were taken, except birds. Several hundred specimens of coral, crabs, fish, etc., are now in the Museum as a result of the trip. Dr. Clark has kindly consented to name the echinoderms collected. The rest of the specimens collected will have to be referred to specialists. Of the land-shells onh- three specimens were found. Two species were very common and the third extremely rare. Undoubtedly all of the species were acci- dentally introduced by man when the coconuts were taken there for planting. This trip occupied about six, and several weeks were spent on the writer's return in sorting and cleaning the specimens. "The sources of the material catalogued and added to the collection during the year are as follows: Collected by the Curator 439^ Collected by C. N. Forbes 5198 Collected by Irving vSpalding 1051 Collected by J. vS. Emerson 1938 Collected by others 29 Total 1 2,607 "Besides these there are numbers of specimens given or ex- changed from Messrs. A. F. Judd and D. Thaanum which have not as yet been catalogued. 8 Director s Annua! Report. "One of the most remarkable finds of the year was made by Mr. Frank Greenwell, of two species of tree-shells on the slopes of Hii- alalai. I wish also to mention the collection made by Mr. Forbes on the island of Lanai. This collection numbered nearly 5,000 specimens, many of the minute species being new to the island." F'rom the Curator of Ivthnology I have received a report on the year's work in his department which is exceedingly interest- ing, but as he intends to publish the results of his explorations later, when completed, I give but a brief extract. The list of ac- quisitions is to be illustrated by engravings of some of the more remarkable specimens. Of gifts: we received from Miss Breckons a large wooden image found on Kauai, in a remarkable state of preservation. Messrs. A. F. Judd and R. A. Cooke added specimens found on Molokai. Other gifts were received from the Dominion Museum, Wellington, N. Z.; Rev. W. D. Westervelt, Mr. Patrick Walsh, Executors of the late A. S. Cleghorn and Mr. C. F. Maxwell. Of purchases: the feather cloak and cape belonging to the Joy family in Boston (figured in Memoirs I, Plate XII) were se- cured. A valuable collection of war implements from Nine was purchased from Mr. C. F. Maxwell, formerly British Commissioner from that island; these are figured later in the lists. A Korean who has brought us several small coUecflions from Mokapu during recent years, brought us yet another. Of loans: the number has most satisfactorily increased. Mr. G. P. Cooke has sent us 16 specimens from Molokai, Mr. Wm. Wagner 6 from Hawaii, Mr. D. Thaanum 11 from various parts of the group, Mr. W. D. McBride 2 stone club heads, Mr. Harrj^ Gregson a stone pikoi of unusual form, and Mr. G. O. Cooper a stick idol from Hawaii. These will be illustrated in the general list of acquisitions. The collecflion of Edgar Henriques has been catalogued under the Curator's supervision and 251 of the speci- mens are already arranged in a separate case in the upper gallery of Hawaiian Hall. Some interesting illustrations of these will be found in the lists below. . Director s Annual Report. 9 In field work two expeditions were made to Kalioolawe and en ronte Molokini was thoroughly explored. On the former island twelve days were spent in compan}- with Mr. Forbes the first time and the island was explored as thoroughly as possible from the land side, and many remains of a former population were found. "While waiting at Lahaina for the steamer to return us to Hono- lulu, Mr. Forbes and I went to Honokahau and Kahakuloa and examined and photographed three groups of historic stones." "Preparations were made immediately on my return to Hono- lulu for a second expedition to Kahoolawe, and I left on the Kilauea for Lahaina in company with Mr. Perry of the Museum and Mr. Henr}- Jaeger, who kindly volunteered his services. We had the misfortune to lose our equipment through a fire in the hold of the Mikahala, but it was replaced as far as possible by pur- chases in Lahaina. Mr. Perry and I spent twenty-three days at Kahoolawe, but Mr. Jaeger had to return to Honolulu after a fort- night; he rendered most valuable aid." The results of these expeditions were very satisfactory and will be published after another trip to the island. The most illu- minating information of the ancient fish-hook manufactures, and indeed of the former life of the Hawaiian fisherman was obtained. The excavations were conducted with the care used in excavating Pompeii: everything was passed over a quarter-inch sieve. The exhaustion of provisions and the appointed arrival of the launch to take the explorers back to Lahaina compelled them to leave much undone, although they brought man}- sacks of material to be picked over on their return. It was a grand opportunity to study ancient life in a place entirely out of the way of travel, and "among two thousand odd fish-hooks and files and two or three thousand other specimens there were but six objects of foreign introduction, viz.: one iron boat spike, iron nail hook, copper nail, two fragments of cloth and a piece of canvas, all found near the surface." The early voyagers tell of the great eagerness of Hawaiians to secure iron nails, which probably quickly replaced bone as a material for fish- lo /^i)(iio?''s .hniua/ Rtpoii . liooks, and took a\va\- the ])one liook makers's occupation. The abandonment of the workshop (discovered in a cave) could not have been much later than the end of the eighteenth cetitury, or the foreign objects would certainly have been more numerous. The accumulation shows that work must have been going on at the place for several centuries before." ATTKXD.\NCE OK VI.SITORS. Of the distinguished visitors to the Museum should ])e men- tioned Dr. Peter Jessen, Liljrarian of the Kunstgewerbe Museum, Berlin; Dr. Stewart Culin and Lockwood De Forest of Brooklyn; Hofrat Professor Dr. Gustav Hauausek of Graz; Dr. H. A. Pilsbry of the Philadelphia Academy of Science; Dr. Fred. Baker of San Diego, and Dr. Hubert L. Clark of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The attendance of visitors has this year exceeded all previous records and was only twenty less than fifteen thousand. The kapu upon children under five years of age has considerably reduced the number of Japanese visitors.

New Hawaiian Plants.— IV CharlEvS N. Forbp:s. I/ysitnachia koolauensis, nom. nov. L. lougisepala Forbes, in Occasional Papers, B. P. B. M. , IV, 222 (1909) not Forrest, in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edin. XIX, 237 ('1908). On consulting the latest supplement to the Index Kewensis, which was not previously available, I find that the above change of name is necessary, as the name longisepala was preoccupied for a Chinese plant by Forrest. As more extensive field collecting has not extended the range of this plant be3'ond the Koolau range of mountains on Oahu, it seems appropriate that the plant should bear this name. A point not mentioned in the original descrip- tion is that it often has a creeping rhizome. 39 PUBI^ICATIONS OF THE Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A. MEMOIRS. (Quarto.) Vol. I.

"Also from Oahu, Amastra antiqiia 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 colle(5lion .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 Amastra. 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 Hawaiian Endodontidce 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 b}' 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 1901,. 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 hardh' a month passes without the finding of some new and interesting varietv or species." [50] Dh'cdof's Annual Report. ii 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. Agues 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 iu 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 gentleman's name appearing among the givers, in my department as well as in others of the Museum. During the year 1914 the Direcftor recommended that appreciation of Mr. Wester\'elt'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 bv Mrs. [51] 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 Botan\' 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 Direclor 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. Ill, was purchased from Mrs. J. H. Maby. Three hula ki'i, 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 absolutel}' 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 compan}- of the Curator of Botany, was made to a cave on Oahu which w^as 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 An7iual Report. 13 on L,anai knowu to Mr. Wagener, and carried out with the permis- sion of the Lanai agents. We were well satisfied with the results. "I 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 instrudlion he was ready to impart. There is one matter in which Professor von I^uschan has demonstrated that we have been clearly derelict in our duty. He expected to find in a museum of this size and location, three thousand well authenticated Ha- waiir.n 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 lyanai have fur- nished the Professor with an excellent subject on which to base his lecftures 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 colledling. He saj'S 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 satisfadtor}- 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 isthnnis 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. [53J 14 Director' s Anmial Report. lished inatiy 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 piikoi, the Hawaiian throwing club, and a paper prepared. It was, how- ever, withdrawn to await further expected information. Some notes were handed to the Direcflor describing various specimens in the Henriques and other loan colle(5lions.* thp: iiknrioues collection. The colle(5lion 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 coUecflion, but included all the uniques and rare specimens. When aiding Mr. Henriques to catalogue his speci- mens, 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) bj- 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 ieie 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. i^ 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. i,a). The spittoon has two well-made grooves around the outer rim (Fig. i, b) . 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. [54] i6 Director's Annual Report. have been in Mrs. Henricjues' family for nian\- years, but the name of the original owner of the spittoon only has been retained: it is believed to have belonged to Kualii, king of Oahu, who died before 1730, according to Fornander (Polynesian Race, II, 280). It should be mentioned that the nucleus of this colleclion consisted of specimens and famil}- 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 hims( If. Included also is the niho palaoa (ivory hook, an emblem of rank) which has been handed down as the identical hook which lyiloa, king of Hawaii, gave Akahiakuleana as a pledge and means of identification for their son Umi. The stor}- has been often told (Fornander, II, 74; Malo, 338; Tales of a \'enerable 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 famih- 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 generall}- 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 probablv used for breadfruit and kalo poi. [56] I iS Dirtiior's Annual Report. A small adze of shell, length i.S inches, width i, and thick- ness .2. with a rounded cutting edge following the contour of the shell, and made from a species of Con/ts,'' is probahlx uni([ue, as I cannot fnul that another has been reported in known collections. I have no doubt that it is of Hawaiian origin. Mr. J. S. Kmerson, well posted in Hawaiian folklore, quoted to me this passage in a Hawaiian soug, which seems to explain the origin of the adze: "He alahee ka koi o iika, He ole ka koi o kai." This Mr. h'merson translates for me as, "The alahee (tree) fur- nishes the material for the adze inland, the ole (shell) for the adze at the seashore." Another specimen, a lieav}- 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 an>- 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 ceremou}- of consecrating a luakini, 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 ( Pohnesian 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 inter\iew 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 curAe of the prow ending in the usual finish called the ihu . Behind the ihu is a 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. qiieninus Hwass. [58] 3, 4- HAWAIIAN SLED OP BREADFRUIT WOOD. HENRIOUES COLLECTION. 20 Director s Annual Report. iiig in position with the inahi or iniia/u, the dasher of the canoe. The dish-like body of the toboggan is nearl>- 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 rear end. The total length is 44. S 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. Tlie^' 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 than a 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, Dae. 6, 1905) that their parents and grandparents had told them of a certain chief ess 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 and a 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 Anmial Report. 21 The only type of sled previously kuowu to us, is that with loug, slender runners. This Museum possesses one in complete condition and runners for two more. Our completed specimen, receiv^ed from the former Government Museum, consists of a pair of slender runners 11. 5 feet long, 2.3 inches deep and i 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 1 1 inches. On the braces is placed a platform of wood, bambu and matting, 4 inches wide, covering the runners except three feet in 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 drj^ grass. In some places the course was paved or built up with stone and covered in the same w^ay. Remains of both kinds may still be found. The sport was exclusively for men of chiefi}^ 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, wdiich 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 Hawaii to a race. "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 Gov- ernment Museum. It is the most perfect specimen known. [61] 2 2 Director s Annual Report Returning to the Henriciues 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. It seems to me that this specimen ma\- well haA-e 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 her discomfort. Were the toboggan intended for human conveyance 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 as a brace for the feet. The excessive wear on the under surface at this place indicates such a 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 comnicnt at all. The use of a sled of this tN'pe 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 CzREGSON .SPECIMEN . An interesting specimen has been loaned by Mr. Harr}- Gregson (Fig. 5). It is of heavy, laminated basalt. The bulb- ous end is fairlv evenly divided into four lobes by broad, shallow [62] 24 Director's Atuiual 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 fiat 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 began it. It is 6.6 inches high, 3.9 wide, 3.3 thick, and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces. When found b}- 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 of an inch thick. 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 BTHNOI.OGICAI, ACCESSIONS. Bruce Cartwright, Jr., Honolulu.

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. The 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] 6. CARVED DRUM. 7. CARVED SPATULAS FROM THE TROBRIAND IDS. 32 Director's Annual Report. reminding one of the closed blade of a penknife. Both this and the previons example seem too large for lime spatulas. No. 11,397, the upper middle figure has the same two men for handle, but their bodies are very attenuated; the workmanship is coarser, but the implement is better suited for a lime spatula, as it is only 8.2 inches long. No. 11,393 has a handle of very different form, simply of four wings which can easily be grasped with four fingers; its length is 11.6 inches. These seem to be BELT OF BARK, NEW GUINEA. made in the Trobriand Islands, and from there distributed largely in trade. Papuans, like many other savages, depend largel}- 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. 9 is of average size and superior workmanship. The terminal handles seem to be liked bj^ 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 vSanto (Australia del Kspiritu Santo as named by Quiros). The island is 75x40 miles and rises to a height of 4000 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. II 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 F'ig. 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 hardh* be called saucers.

At i 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. In the 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 scientific museums. 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. Eater 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 P'rancisco 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, Jul}- 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 Repoj't. ii the Oakland Public Museum. I was especially iuterested in this for I had been repeatedly consulted by the late Curator Mr. C. P. Wilconib, 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 PMuca- tional Museum as a Function of the University", and I, in response to a request, explained vi\y 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 is a 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. Brauner, 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 [■28] 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 L,os Angeles where I especially desired to see the wonderful skeleton of ElepJias Imperator which is so large that it makes the skeleton of a mammoth near b}^ almost insignificant. This faue 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 b^- the United States exhibit of "The History of Man", arranged by Ales Hrdlicka, showing the early skulls from Pithccanthropos 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 man}' 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 long a tramp. The tanks of the 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. In the 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 couutr}- 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 Antuial Report I need not extend my description of this great exhibition, for most of yon 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 man}- 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 v'er}- necessary. The Henshaw collection of Hawaiian birds is very fine, and many of the specimens collected for the Museum by A. Scale 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 Laborator}- 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 b}' Jenks locks with bolts top and bottom. These cases are placed on wooden racks, light but Falconidae Circus hudsonius Buteo solitarius Corvidae Corvus hawaiiensis Heterorhynchus xanthophrys Corvus hawaiiensis 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 22x32.7 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] i6 Director' s A>i>iiial Report. the trays are parforated to permit the free circulation of gas in fumigation; each tray has a fokling 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 RACK FOR STEKL 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 satisf actor}-. 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] 1 8 I)i>r(ior's Annual Report. Vox placing or removing these heavy cases the very conveni- ent 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 looo pounds to a 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 shown in 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 man}' places, in all readily de- tachable, that little strain is brought upon the fabric (Figs. 6, 7). The opening of the upper gallerj^ 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 gallerj' 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] DU'edor^ s Aniucal 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 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] 22 Dirrc/or's A)uiual 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 IW 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 w^ell to preserve records collected bv 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 Hawaiians, as a result of considerable discoveries of material in Petrograd, Sj'dne}' and elsewhere, during the Direc- tor's recent journey to study museums.' Another year should add extensiveh' 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 eight}" 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 awa}' during the closing months of the 3'ear, 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 hy many appre- ciative tourists at the great number and variety of the exhibits, and general satisfaction has been expressed b^^ all visitors at the opening of the second gallery of Hawaiian Hall, which event occurred October ist. The number of visitors from Honolulu and the outlying districts, and from the other islands has been ver}' good. "During the year twenty-five classes from the Oahu schools visited the Museum, representing 6S5 persons. The interest of the school children in the exhibits is very gratifying, and the [139] 24 Director s Amiual Report. order at all times is bej'oiul criticism; and that statement maj- 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, I^L.D.; Dr. Simon Flexner and party, and Miss G. E. Benhani. TABLE OF ATTENDANCE. rcto7'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 Afn'plcx, 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 lava 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 Koua 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 pclhuidum is taken by Ncphrolepis cxaltata. The amount and luxuriance of vegetation is much greater, as was to be expected, plant societies already being established on the flow of 1880-18S1. [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 previoush' 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 at a 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" Argyroxiphiinn sandzvicensc , 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 L,oa 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 /h'rcdor's A)i)iual Riporl . "Of the large mimber of interesting plants observed or collected on this trip, perhaps the most remarkable was Mola maniensis 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, Cyathodcs Tavniamcia-, 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 t)o is most unusual. The river of black pahoe- hoe lava is a garden of small ohia trees, low shrubs, cyperacese 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, Prit- 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 unusvial 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 kindh' 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, L,uther Severance and Miss H. Sever- ance, Messrs. C. J. Austin, R. T. Guard, Henry Lyman, D. Thaanum, H. Dent, W. S. R}'croft, A. W. Carter and Walter C. Shields.

From the report of Dr. C. M. Cooke, Jr., I quote: "For the year 191 5 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 to a 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 .Uniual 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 is a 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 Lcptachatina tc7iuicostata 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 Kaliella 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 sphccrica. The [14.S] Dij'cdor' s Annual Report. 33 species of this group are only known, at present, from the island of Kauai and Maui. "A remarkable species of fossil Endodonta 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 Endo- donta is the only close relative of the extremely rare Endodonta stellula Gld. which is not at present represented in our collection. "The manuscripts prepared by your Curator for the Manual of Conchology, dealing with Aiiriculella, Elasmias, Tornatillina^ lornatillidcs and TornatilIa7'ia, have nearly all appeared during the year. The Memoir on Endodo7ita 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 Aniastra 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 9th. 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 Tenipsky, A. T. Cooke and C. A Cooke; Messrs A. F. Judd, L. A. Thurston, I. Spalding, A. Gouveia, J. S. Emerson, T. C. White, D. T. Fleming, P. Spalding, C. H. Cooke and G. P. Cooke; Masters D. R. and C. Penhallow, E. von Tenipsky, M. Desnouee, H. and C. M. Cooke III." The Museum I^ibrary. "The annual reports of the Libra- rian during the five jears 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. '' Eibrary Records and Catalogtdng . 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. i.—^,- [149] 24 Director's Annual Report the returned ackno\vled<^inent cards are filed. A set of Concilimn Bibliographicuin cards for /oology 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. vSome 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 wath 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 probabl}' 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 length}' 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 Ivibrary. 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] ,g Director's Annual Report. very valuable sets of publications have been received, including several complete sets, and several that lacked a few volumes only. Several institutions requesting exchanges have been refused on the ground that their publications were not within the field of the museum work. During 1915 the following have been added to our exchange list: American Fern Society, University of the Philippines, National Academy of Science. •'The total number of names now on the exchange list is 133. "The total number of accessions in the five years since the removal of the Librarv is approximately 2000 volumes, and about three times as manv pamphlets and parts. There are at present on the shelves approximately 7300 volumes and several times as manv pamphlets and parts. ' [152] List of Accessions. BTHNOLOGICAI,. By Gift.

In the (la\s following llie Fair, the Memoirs of the Museum were placed at the disposal of the public in the Maui Hotel lobb)-, aud at the office of the Rev. R. B. Dodge, Chairman of the Arts aud 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. h'or 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. lu 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 Perouse Bay on vS. \\. and Olowalu on S. W. P'orthe Lahaina and Kaanapali sections, Lahaina may be used as a base later. The heiau work was disappointing. I had hoped to get a better understanding of the heiau terms used by the late S. ^L Kamakau in his waitings 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 heiau terms. 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 who accompanied 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, John F. G. Stokes, Curator of Polynesian Ethnology. To Mr. vStokes' 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, 19 16. Dk. William T. Brigham, Director Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Dear Dr. BriCtIiaim: — 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 F'air for the most generous assist- ["200] Director s Report for i<^i6. 9 ance given us \^y the Museum in the loan of the vahiable collection of casts and the most generous and helpful assistance of Mr. Stokes and Mr. Lambert. These gentlemen who represented you, and Mrs. vStokes 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 other islands. 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 3'ours, Rowland B. Dodge, 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 onl}- 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 {Metrosideros 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 [201J lo /h'irc/or's Report for /<.j/6. being completely scorched. Looking across the flow the scorching of foliage on the lee side did not appear to be very nuich 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 snrxived. Minor effects on vegetation were the plowing np 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 liy 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 Dodoncea viscosa had blighted leaves; while closer in leaves of I'acciiiiiim pendtdijioruni and Coprosma crnodeoidcs were blighted. The foliage of Cyathodes Tavieiaviciac 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 oi pa hoc- hoc lava ; 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 pahochoc or aa. I have noticed this surface discoloration in the cracks of all old pa hoc hoe flows, but was never quite sure whether it was purely [202] I Director^ ^ Report for i(ji6. 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 readih- 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 rain\' weather a fair collection of plants was made. "I was enabled to confirm certain statements made to me by Rev. J. M. Lydgate concerning Brighaviia insignis ■a.sxX. occurs on Kauai. The Kauai plant has different colored flowers from the plant occuriug on the central islands of the group, but otherwise there seems to be no constant or striking differences of specific or v^arietal rank, although it may be safe to give the Kauai plant the form name of citrina.' "Probably Remy's Niihau specimens cited by both Gray and Hillebrand belong to this form. I have observed Brigliamia along the Kalalau trail on Kauai but not in 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 gras.ses, 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. ^Brighaviia insignis forma citrina forma nova, Forbes and Lydgate. Differs in the lemon yellow corolla, brighter 3'ellow on the inner side of the expanded lobes ; in contrast to the cream}^ or white corolla of the tj-pe.

These were distributed over 1760 catalogue numbers, with an average of slighth' over eleven specimens to each catalogue number. Besides the shells catalogued, several thousand .specimens were either collected or given to the Museum during the year which your Curator was unable to catalogue. "Not as much has been done in the field this year as in previous years, btit more time has been spent in the laboratory on the collec- tions. One important trip was taken with Messrs. Judd and Wilder to Molokai and collections made on the different ridges between Waikolu and Kawela. Previous to this trip, very few specimens were in our collection from this region and the results were A-ery satisfactory, as 2444 specimens were added to our collection. "A paper dealing with some new species and varieties of Amastra is in the hands of the Trustees, and it is to be hoped that it will be issued early in 1917.' A number of very interesting spe- cies have been dealt with in this paper. Most of the forms de- scribed were acquired by the Museum since Dr. Pilsbry's visit here in 1913.

The Director, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Dear Sir: — -The work in Entomology at the Museum for the calendar yean 916 was chiefly with the extensive Helms collection of Australian insects acquired the previous year. The work of cleaning, repinning. and repairing specimens, preliminary to tran- sfering them to the Museum cabinets, was continued as rapidly as possible in the limited time at the disposal of your Honorary Curator. At length it was found that this would be too great a task and would be prolonged indefinitely and prevent any progress in work with the collection of Hawaiian insects for quite a time unless assistance was arranged for. The Museum was fortunate enough to secure the services of J. C. Bridwell for this purpose, he having gained a considerable familiarity with the Australian insect fauna by several months in Queensland and New South Wales, both in studying collections in museums and in collecting in the field. Unfortunateh' his ap- pointment began so late as September i, and yet more unfortu- natel}^ he was soon laid up in the hospital for several weeks with blood poisoning in one leg, from a wound by a date-thorn in the knee. Further delay was occasioned by the tardy arrival of ma- terial for lining the insect cabinet drawers, but eventualh- the work was gotten well under way and substantial progress made in the transference of the collection to the Museum cabinets. It is ex- [205] 14 /h'frr/or's Report for /(j/6. pecteil that this will l)e finished during 191 7, though there will yet remain a great deal to be done before the systematic arrangement of the collection is completed and all specimens determined and labeled. The undetermined and unlabeled material in the collec- tion is a greater proportion than was apparent at the beginning, and will provide opportunities for a great deal of further work, but it is not urgent that it be done at once. The Hawaiian collection has partly been installed in the cabi- nets, and more will be done with this during 1917. Collecting of new material will also htt done at opportune times to augment. this collection, special efforts being made to secure specimens of the numerous species now lacking. Your Honorary Curator has deposited in the Museum his set of "types" of forty-one (41) species of L,epidoptera. These are all of species described by him in recent years, and not hitherto represented in the Museum collection. Herewith is a list of the species together with references to their descriptions. Those marked with an asterisk (*) have "paratypes" in the author's col- lection; those marked with a double asterisk (** ) have "paratypes" in the cabinets at the Hawaiian vSugar Planters' Association Ex- periment Station.

To our collection of Sharks has been added a complete cast of the Thresher Shark of eastern waters, a cast of the head of an unusually large Hammer Head Shark from our waters, and several fine skulls. Mr. Thompson has also added many fine specimens to our large collection of native fish (several as yet uudescribed), and a number of fruits. For the purpose of exhibiting at the Maui County Fair he made a large series of casts of stone or wooden implements, which proved a great attraction in the Arts and Crafts Section of the Fair. [207] i6 Pircclor'is Report for i(ji6. I/ibrary. In the Lil)rar\- it is surprising lo see how much work can be done in very unsuitable quarters: I cjuote from the report of the Librarian, Miss K. B. Higgins: — "Tlie most important Library event for 1916 was certainly the appointment of a regular Library Assistant. The aid thus given is tending to the development of the Museum's literary workshop and the increase of its usefulness to an extent not heretofore possible. "In August of this year the work of binding was taken up vigorously. Our assistant, Miss M. Claire Steinbring, has shown great care and good judgment in preparing serials for the bindery. The number of books bound is 264. The care and distribution of publications has been turnedover almost entireh to the Librar\ assistant, who is doing well with this work also. "As regards accessions, the number is much larger than for 1915, although many of our European exchanges were cut off. Among gifts may be mentioned: Fifteen early vSmithsonian publi- cations. Dr. Cooke's gift of 130 separates, Hawaiian newspapers from Father R. Yzendoorn. ' ' We have been fortunate in the purchase of a set of the Reports of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, from 1843-19 14. These reports arrived very opportunely during the visit of one of the scientists from the Kilauea Observatory, who particularly needed the set in his work. Dr. Cooke's gift of separ- ates includes some very rare and valuable papers, especially those on Hawaiian Botanj^ and Mollusca. The newspapers from Father Reginald are particularly valuable on account of the Hawaiian histories by S. M. Kamakau that they contain. "A record of the use of the Library by outsiders, begun in in September, shows that from that date to the end of December, thirteen visits were made for the purpose of study, and that one visitor came every day during a period of three weeks, spending from two to six hours on each occasion. Mr. Joseph S. Kmerson in connection with the classification of his collection of .'■hells has also made frequent use of the Library. "The indexing of Cook's last voyage is progressing as rapidly as opportunity offers. The advantage and convenience of the in- dex when complete becomes more apparent as the work progresses. "A bibliography of Professor W. D. Alexander's writings. including articles in periodicals, has been under way for sonie time [20S] Director's Report for Tgi6. 17 past. This list of more than a hundred titles is now as nearly complete as we have been able to make it. "The search for missing parts to complete our files is going on steadily, various important items having been secured during the year, and there is good prospect that several long series may be available soon. The card catalogue reference work in connec- tion with old works on Hawaii is also kept up in addition to the regular accession work, with the result that the availability of the Library is more than keeping pace with its numerical increase."

The appointment of the Exhibition Superintendent has proved a very important step in advance in the administration of the Museum. Not only has the staff been increased in efficiency, but the scientific members have been re- lieved from the many undesirable interruptions of their regular work, and the Exhibition Halls and the surrounding grounds have been kept in far better order than was possible when all that was added to the other duties of the Director. Mrs. Helvie has also found exercise for her faculties (including patience) in guiding many visitors through the halls. I quote from her report: "During the year the usual work on the Exhibition Halls, in the Laboratory Building and on the grounds has gone on with but slight interruptions, and the work accomplished by the three jani- tors has been most satisfactory. Everything has been kept up to standard as far as possible. The increase in the regular Museum staff has necessarily meant additional work to the Superintendent and her assistants. The new vacuum cleaner has been in use fre- quenth' and is especially efficient in cleaning the tops of cases, and many of the larger exhibits that have heretofore been out of reach. "The number of visitors to the Museum has kept up very well all through the year, the smallest attendance being in the months of October and November. Many classes from the different schools O. p. B. p. B.M. Vol. VI, No. 4.— 2. [209] Director's Report for igr6. in Honolulu have visited the Museum accompanied !)>• their teach- ers. The jMipils were bright, alert and \vell-beha\ed, and seemed to be interested in all they saw. "During August and Septeml)er, after five years service, the Kxhibition Superintendent was granted two months vacation. Meantime Mrs. J. E. Higgius carried on the work very acceptably." The table of attendance appended shows the proportion of the nationalities (except in those in which there were few representa- tives, as Koreans, Formosans, Hindus, negroes, Philii)pinos, Porto Ricans, etc., which are in small numbers); it also shows that the total attendance, which, owing to the less number of steamers, fell in 1915, has nearly regained the total of 1914, our largest record. 19 1 3 1914 14,900 15.573 1915 1916 13.985 15.529 TABLE OF ATTENDANXE. 0 3.52 155 184 89 136 48 77 36 112 106 ise 68 127 66 159 .W 163 84 85 42 S3 79 9] 63 1,755 891 January .

Eake, and certainly much less work has been done, but the Director has managed to make the neces- sary photographs for illustration and filing, as well as for exchange. Museum Press. 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 tlie year. [211] List of Accessions. BTHNOLOGICAI,. By (lift. Anonymous friend of Mr. Henry Holmes, Honolulu : L.

SOME HAWAIIAN SHREDDERS AND SCRAPERS. Whex we view the apparently complete Hawaiian collections in the Bishop Museum, it may be difhcult for us to realize that some of the implements, which must have been most common, are now among the rarest. This remark would apply more particu- larly to specimens of less permanent nature than stone. As examples, might be quoted, the bambu knife and the file of coral; neither of them was in our collections until found on Kahoolawe in 1913. Such tools, simple in their structure though effective enough for their purpose in the hands of their users, were from the nature of their material the first to give way before the imported metal implements, and, not being of interest as curios, have been easily forgotten. Another such implement was the earh- form of the na'n Jiiu. coconut-shredder, used for preparing /t-?//^/^ (the Hawaiian dessert made by cooking together shredded taro and coconut meat, sweet- ened with milk from the unripe coconut ). The first example of this earl}- form, to come to our knowledge, was one ploughed up in 1915 at Hauula, Oahu, loco feet from the sea. by an employee of Mr. Edgar Henriques, and loaned to the Museum for casting. L 925, Fig. I. It was a wedge-shaped section of a cone shell (probabl}' Conus qiiercijiiis) serrated on the interior apical margin. In 1916, Mr. A. L. C. Atkinson found two more, of the same ma- terial, on the beach at Kihei, Maui. L 969 and L 970, Fig. i. The specimens found were shown to several middle-aged or elderly Hawaiians at various times, and it is interesting to note that all but one of them failed to recognize the shredders until the indented edges were pointed out. and then the use was at once described. The one referred to was John Penchula. from Kau, Hawaii, now a janitor in the Museum, who remembered seeing his father using such an implement. For use the shredder was bound, teeth upward, to a straight stick which rested on a stone and the ground, with the shredder projecting over a dish, and was [229] ',37' 38 Pi rector' s Report for igr6. ^9ZS B//m I. HAWAIIAN SHREDDERS AND SCRAPERS. held by the foot. The material to be shredded was taken in both hands and pressed downward against the teeth. In Fig. 2 is a shredder (L 969) mounted on the ascending prong of a branched stick, by Penchula, after the fashion of one used by his father. It is very similar to a Micronesian pattern. The method of mounting and applying the shredders would no doubt follow individual taste to a large extent. Kulolo is a deli- [230] Director s Report for igi6. 39 cacy still in demand, although a pudding made of arrowroot is rapidly replacing it on account of the simpler preparation of the latter. The implement now used for kulolo is a long piece of iron (often a flat file) serrated at one end, sometimes set in a wooden handle. The operator either stands or sits on it. In the Hawaiian Group we have not come across anything similar to the convenient contrivance used for the purpose in the Marquesas Islands, con- 2. SHREDDER, WITH SUPPORT. sisting of a wooden stool with a projecting arm and a grater of coral bound to the outer end." There is some variation in the design of the shredders illus- trated. Fig. I. To the right of the arrows in the cross sections are shown the portions which were shaped (by grinding). Nos. I, 925 and L 970 are of a similar and effective pattern, the cutting angle in each being directed upward, and a sharp edge obtained. No. Iv 970 has apparently seen more use and undergone sharpening by further grinding on the upper edge of the shell section. A comparison of these two specimens will demonstrate this proba- bility. The serrations in both are regular. No. L 969 has not been so evenly serrated, nor does it appear of such good design, since the cutting edge is rounded. It has been much worn. 'B. P. Bishop Museum Memoirs, IT, 377, Fig. 178. [231] 40 Direclors Rcporl for igi6. According to Peiichiila, sections of the Cassis and other large shells were used, in addition to the Conns, as was also the hard wood kaui/a {Alphitonia cxcclsa) indented as usual. From a Kauai native it was leanietl that the naturall>- serrated edge of the opi/ii {Patella spp.) served the same purpose. It was held in the hand, not mounted. The opihi was also used as a spoon, and as a scraper for gourds similarly to the specimens now to be described. Among deserted house foundations on the south coast of Molokai, Mr. A. F. Judd and Dr. C. Montague Cooke found, in igi6, three dorsal sections of large cowries, which had been arti- ficially broken out, apparently, and further modified by grinding at one end. They are illustrated in Fig. i, B 1162, Cyprcra intcr- inedia, B 1179 and B 1180 C. vianritiana. One, B 1179, was in very good condition and furthermore was perforated at the end opposite the sharpened part. As shown in the cross section, it had been ground to a very sharp edge, the face of the grinding being parallel to its short axis. The others are much worn, (B 1 179 is also broken) and do not now show a sharpened edge. These shells, in addition to being used as coconut-scrapers, were used for cleaning out the pith from the interior of the gourd vessels.' In the part of Molokai where found, the latter was prob- ably the principal use for these particular specimens. In operation the shells were held in the hand. In the gourds in the Museum, the pith has been very cleanly scraped away, and the sharp cutting edge of No. B 1179 would have been well adapted for the purpose. By experiment, this scraper was found to accurately engage the interior surfaces of coconuts and gourds. The Hawaiian name applied to these scrapers would be vari- ousl}' ica'u ipii or iva'u nhi (gourd-scraper or coconut-shredder), accordingly as the implements were used. BEETI^E NECKLACE.S FROM NEW GUINEA. Necklaces of beetles' parts from New Guinea, a form of orna- mentation unusual in the Pacific, have recently come to our atten- tion. They were brought to Honolulu by Mr. Max Freeh, first officer of S. S. Prinz Waldemar, who generouslj- divided his treas- ures with the Museum. He obtained them from an engineer, of another steamer, who had secured them on an expedition many " The gourd vessels were described by Dr. Brigham, B. P. B. M. Memoirs, II, 321.

Mr. Freeh, who has traded for many years on the New Guinea coast, says that he has not seen them in the possession of the coast natives. 4. RINGED STONE MORTAR. According to Mr. J. C. Bridwell, they are the prothoraces, elytra and femora of two species of Bupreslid beetles, probably of the genus Chalcophora . In Fig. 3 are shown: B 1220, a complete string of the elytra; B 1221, half a string of the femora; and B 12 19, part of a string of the prothoraces. Their beautiful iridescence, the dominant brilliant green changing to old gold, was the cause of the lev}' on the insects for their glittering coverings. In Nos. 1219 [234] Director s Report for igi6. 43 and 1 220, the string is of native manufacture, and in 1221, of cotton thread. The cord of No. 1220 is knotted between each wing sheath. In this specimen, a somewhat musical tone results from the rat- tling of the necklace. ORNAMENTED MORTAR OF STONE. In Fig. 4 is illustrated a cylindrical stone mortar found on the uplands of Helemano, Oahu, and presented to the Museum b}' Mr. Robert S. Thurston. Hawaiian mortars were not unknown to the t— i 5. SECTION OF STONE MORTAR. Museum,' but this specimen is worthy of special notice on account of the presence of many grooves encircling the exterior. There are six on the exterior wall, two on the upper rim and one on the bottom. Their presence in the latter two places would indicate that the motive was ornamentation, not utility. Considering the necessarily bulky requirements of such an implement, the Hawaiian cylindrical mortar had been developed into a form which was not inelegant, as may be seen in those pre- ' They were used for obtaining oil by crushing kukui nut kernels, as alreadj'- described by Dr. W.

Thej' have apparent!}' been made by peck- ing, and have not been subsequently smoothed, as was the origi- nal surface of the exterior. The stone is a basalt, of a degree of fineness similar to that in the other cylindrical mortars. The speci- men is 200 mm. high, 223 in diameter at the base. The cavity is 143 mm. deep, 123 in diameter at the mouth, and 127 a quarter of the way down, and converges at the bottom. A cross section is shown in Fig. 5. AN HAWAIIAN SLINC. . The sling was always considered an effective arm in Hawaiian warfare, and the great care with which the sling-stones were made- would seem to bear this out. Yet the only Hawaiian sling ill our collections heretofore, No. 4812, has been a somewhat crude contrivance of loosely braided bast fibre of the hau {Paritiiini tili- aeeum) with the braiding broadened (like matting) in the middle for a pocket. Fig. 6. On the handles, the braiding is three-ply, each fold consisting of two or more flat, overlying strands of the fibre, rounded and not twisted over the turn (thereby avoiding an entirely flat braid). Toward the pocket, other strands were in- serted, thickening the cord, but not increasing the number of folds, until the pocket was reached. Here the technique changed from cord-braiding to mat-plaiting, but the latter was less regular than usual with matting. It has the appearance of a hasty and untidy job, and is in strong contrast to the neat corded work in which the Polynesians in general, and the Hawaiiaus in particu- lar, were so adept. One of the handles is short, apparently broken. King's description^ might have been applied to similar speci- men: "The slings have nothing singular about them; and in no re- spect differ from our common slings, except that the stone is lodged on a piece of matting instead of leather." Cook saw sling-stones on Kauai, as clearh' shown bj' his refer- ence to "some oval pieces of whetstone well polished, but some- what pointed towards each end,"+ but apparently not the slings. His description, immediately preceding the above, of the pieces of 'Op. cit.. Fig. 28. A spherical form, from Hawaii, was illustrated in Occa- sional Papers, V, 43, Fig. 6. 'W. T. Brighnm, B. P. B.

HAWAIIAN SLING, HAU FIBRE. 46 Dirrcfoy's Ripoii for /(ji6. hematite "artificially made of an oval shape divided longitudinallj', with a narrow groove in the middle of the convex part it weighed a pound" undoubtedly applied to the poliaku hi ficr, or stone sinker' for the octopus trap. To this stone, he said, "was applied a cord of no great thickness." It is (juestionable if this cord was a sling as Cook inferred; more than probably it was the cord for fastening to the stone the ai)pliances of the trap.- Rev. \Vm. Ivllis noted on the island of Hawaii that ". •••they employed the sling, and their stones were very destructive. The slings were made of human hair, plaited, or the elastic fibres of the cocoa-nut husk " ' Human hair for cord was not uncommon in these islands, although its principal use was in ornamentation. Since he made no .special mention of the pattern, it is to be assumed that the Hawaiian sling of his description resembled in form tho.se he had seen in Southern Polynesia. Of the latter, he gives the following details, intended to appl}- to the southern groups in gen- eral: "The most dangerous mis.sile was the Jiriti or stone, from the lua or sling. The latter was prepared with great care, and made with finely braided fibres of the cocoa-nut husk, or filaments of the native flax, having a loop to fasten it to the hand at one end, and a wide receptacle for the stone in the centre."^ The de- scription of the shape would probably answer for the Hawaiian specimen in Fig. 6, if the latter were undamaged. A model of a very neat appearing .sling (Fig. 7) has been given to the Museum by Mr. Edgar Henriques. It was made to his order by S. W. Kahikina, of Kiilae, Kona, Hawaii, and, ac- cording to the maker, represents the form once used in this group. Its principal characteristic is the replacement of the pocket by two loops, which are well adapted to hold the double conical sling- stone. The material is the Hawaiians' most durable fibre, olo7ia ( Touchardia latifolia). It will be noticed that, in this example, as in No. 4812, the technique changes; but from twisted cords to braided loops. One character not present in the older specimen is the arrangement of the handles. The held cord of this sling ends in a running loop for the wrist, while the freed cord termi- nates in a large knot.

[23HJ Director's Report for igr6. 47 There are in the Museum no slings from Southern Poh-nesia to compare with Ellis' account, but there are some from the Caro- line Islands, of thickly braided coir, which are provided wath a large plain loop for the wrist, and not the running loop. 3 /280 7. MODEL OF SLING MADE OF OLONA FIBRE, WITH SLING-STONE. Going farther afield were found slings from the west coast of New Britain, and the neighboring Siassi Islands, in which the pocket is a fold, of palm leaf-sheath fibre, attached to twisted or braided cords of other material. The held cord in each of the [239] 48 /h'rtc/or's Report for igi6. two slings did not terminate in a loop, but a large tassel of the sheath fibre. These islands are, of course, outside the Pohue- sian area. Ellis' other notes on the Southern Polj'nesian weapon are in- teresting. "The sling was held in the right hand, and, armed with the stone, was hung over the right shoulder, and caught by the left hand on the left side of the back. When thrown, the sling, after being stretched across the back, was whirled around over the head, and the stone discharged with great force." ' They were, he said, powerful and expert marksmen, and the stones when (as was general) thrown horizontally four or five feet from the ground, were seen with difiiculty, and often did much execution.- He noted further that the Hawaiians slung their stones with great force and precision, and were supposed to have been able to strike a small stick at fifty yards' distance, four times out of five.^ The latter were very expert in avoiding a stone, if they saw it thrown. + The stones seen by Ellis, in the South, were water-worn peb- bles, and some "sharp, angular and rugged." The latter may have been the double conical form, artificially shaped, found through Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia. He failed to see the latter type (outlined in Fig. 7) in these islands, as he men- tioned onh- those which were stream- and beach-worn. In Dr. Brigham's description ^ of various Oceanic sling-stones, he seems to infer that the pointed oval .stone was so shaped that it could be mide to revolve on its axis by the skill of the slinger and thereb\' attain directness of aim. I would be more inclined to at- tribute a simpler motive in the manufacture and to suppose that the development of a longer axis was a requirement necessary to prevent the stone from rolling out of the pocket of the sling. A POI-POUNDER PLATTER OF STONE. The wooden platters or troughs, on which poi was pounded, have been described and figured by Dr. W. T. Brigham.'' The ordi- nary form was a long, wide and thick platter, slightly concave on the upper surface, with straight parallel sides and rounded ends, and was generally large enough to accommodate a worker at each 'Polynesian Researches, II, 490.

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

(j'j inches); diameter of con- cavity (pounding surface), 545 mm. (21'.- inches); depth of con- cavit)-, 83 mm. (3*4 inches). It was found upon enquiry among Hawaiians on the north coast of Maui that poi-pounding platters of stone were not un- known, and that the poi-making was done more quickly on stone than on wood. However, they were not much in favor for the reason that the stone poi-pounders or pestles were frequently broken by such use. No other such stone platter has come under our observation.

This species differs from all otlier known Hawaiian Araliaeca in its inflorescence; a character which excludes it from the generic limits of Tetraplasandra as hitherto known. It does not appear to be very closely related to the other species, certainly not to tht- two known Kauai species, and only bears a superficial resemblance to T. ha-ivaiicnsis Gray in the pubescence. About a dozen trees were seen at the type locality, usually occuring as individuals in separated localities. Only one tree was seen at the Haupu vStation, although probably others occur. All were uniform. The ])anicle is strictly pendulous, even when very young, those in the illustra- tion being bent in order to mount them on the herbarium sheet. Since writing the above, Mr. G. C. Munro has informed me that he has seen this tree on ridges, somewhere between Makaweli and Hanapepe on Kauai. [240] PUBI^ICATIONS OF THE Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A.

Bishop Museum Press 1918 Report presented February i8, igrS, Returned approved Marcli /, igrS. Director's Report lor 1917. Ix presenting his last report of the activities of the Bishop Museum the present Director may avail himself of the last official opportunity of presenting his thanks to the Board of Trustees for allowing him, as a parting gift, a year's vacation, and also the title of Director Emeritus. Such courtesy makes easier the ending of twenty-eight years of work in this Museum. Sad feeling that is merel>- personal becomes infinitely small in presence of the world-wide sorrow often coming home to those less able to bear crosses. I do not propose here to review the work of those years so full of hope for ideals now ended; when the two small rooms original!}- allotted to the Museum have grown almost to the number desired, even longed for, both by Mr. Bishop and myself; I dismiss the growth of the body of the Museum as a matter in which I can have no part. The first official issue of the Museum Press was my Annual Report in 1898, one half of which I put in type before we had a printer, and it remained as I left it, when our printer put the finished report to press. At that time the Board of Trustees consisted of: vSanford B. Dole, LL.D. . - . . President William O. Smith . - . . Vice-President Rev. Charles M. Hyde, D.D. - - - Secretary Henr}^ Holmes ----- Treasurer Samuel M. Damon, Joseph O. Carter, William F. Allen The Museum Staff was: William T. Brigham, A.M., A.A.S., etc. - - Director Acland Wanse}^ ------ Curator John J. Greene ------ Printer • - - - - - Taxidermist This report has been long out of print, but the important parts of it were reprinted in the Report of a Journey Around the World [249] (3) 4 Director' s Report for k^/j. issued in 191 3. Two of the above Trustees have resigned; three are dead. Of the Staff all survive, although Mr. Wansey has re- turned to his home in Australia. Before the establishment of the Mu.seum Press our only audi- ence was the small company of visitors who found their wa\- to the exhibition halls which were open at first only one day in the week. Our publications at once carried the Museum, as it were, over the world for our ever increasing list of exchanges now numbers 146, and it may be seen from the printed list how widely the>- are dis- tributed. Our Annual Reports help to bind together the director- ates of the various museums in a very agreeable system of mutual exchange of professional information, and in leaving this distin- guished and learned company I desire to acknowledge the number- less instances of assistance and information I have received from my confreres in many countries. If I have been able in some in- stance to be of use to my colleagues it has been but little in propor- tion to the greater knowledge and far more extensive collections of the older museums that I have laid under contribution always most kindly rendered. During the past year this Museum has lost from its staff a greater number than in any previous year. Y. En Tseu, our Chinese draughtsman, left us to continue his studies in the Univer- sity of Louisiana, and his skill is greatly missed. August Perry, assistant printer for some years, and J. C. Bridwell, temporary as- sistant in Entomology have both left the Museum; Miss M. Claire Steinbring and her successor as Library assistant. Miss Lucile Lucas, have both been called away from the Islands; Lieutenant Richard Ernest Lambert who so satisfactorily filled the position of Director's assistant, has returned at the call of his Country to his former position in the Navy and has sailed as Paymaster on the Schurz. Of all these only Miss Lucas's place has been filled. An assistant in the Printery is greatly needed with the work on the two volumes of Fornander papers to be printed. But the new Director [250] Director s Report for igi". 5 may have different plans for the needed assistants, and his hand should be free. The Staff at the end of 191 7 was as follows: William T. Brighatn, Sc.D. (Columbia) - - Director William H. Dall, Ph.D. - Honorary Curator of Mollusca John F. G. Stokes - Curator of Polynesian Ethnology C. Montague Cooke, Ph.D. ( Yale) - Curatorof Puhnonata Charles N. Forbes . . - Curator of Botany Otto H. vSwezey - - Honorary Curator of Entomology John W. Thompson - - - Artist and Modeler Miss Elizabeth B. Higgins . _ . Librarian John J. Greene ------ Printer M. L. Horace Rej-nolds - - - Cabinet Maker Mrs. Helen M. Helvie - Superintendent of Exhibitions John Lung Chung, Thomas Keolanui and John Pen- chula -------- Janitors To all of these the Director tenders his heartfelt thanks for most ready and unfailing assistance and cooperation which has made his labor pleasant among many difficulties and disappoint- ments, and without which the Museum could not have held its creditable position. During the year Hon. Samuel M. Damon and Alfred \V. Carter have resigned from the Board of Trustees and Mr. William William- son and Mr. Richard H. Trent have been appointed in their place. Bthnology. — Mr. Stokes reports as follows: "Accessions. — These are listed in the following pages. The number and total value show a great falling off from the average of the few preceding 3'ears, which can be explained, though onlj- partly, by the Curator's activit}- in other branches of Museum work. Some of the gifts and loans, however, are worthy of especial notice. Among the former may be mentioned the body part of a canoe dug up in a peat bog on Washington Island and presented by the Greig brothers, and two wooden idols given by the Pacific Mill Co. through the kindness of Mr. J. W. Waldron. "Of the loans there should be mentioned a large general collec- tion from Mr. A. L. C. Atkinson, which represented well the tools of the Hawaiians; it also included a drum, and a damaged speci- men of the very rare Necker Island images. Mrs. E. K. Mehrten [251] 6 Director s Rtporf for njij. loaned good specimens of a kapa and a mat, which had been used by certain chiefs, and a Fijian club, said to have been the favorite weapon of Kaunuialii, King of Kauai. Mr. K. A. Knudsen loaned two wooden idols of unusual form, which were cast and returned. I^'rom Mr. (/. C. Munro were borrowed three uncommon specimens, selected from his collection, and from Mrs. James Munro, part of a pestle on the handle of which an animal face had been carved. "Field Work. — Although the Curator himself undertook no expeditions during the year, the offer of Mr. Charles vS. Dole of Lihue, Kauai, to make additional measurements of the site of the ancient structure crowning Mauna Kahili, was accepted. His notes on the trip, measurements of the site and report of interviews with residents have been received and filed for future reference, and will without doubt prove of much value. "Notes on ethnographical specimens were prepared and pub- lished in the Annual Report for 1916. "Heiau and Subsidiary Work to Hawaiian Worship. — My draughtsman, Y. En Tseu, left in the middle of the year to continue his studies in the Louisiana University. Before he left he completed the platting of the heiau sites from the Curator's survey notes, and calculated the positions of most of them. In ad- dition he copied on the typewriter a large amount of material from native manuscripts and newspapers concerning heiau, together with translations b\' the Curator. His services were of great as- sistance. "In connection with this work, the Curator has through the kindness of Father Reginald Yzendoorn of the Catholic Mission, and others, secured for the use of the Museum a number of manu- script and published accounts of Hawaiian worship and the heiau by writers in the native language. Combined with the Museum's collections, there are now available the native accounts of Malo, S. M. Kamakau, Kamakau of Kaawaloa, Haleole, Kepelino, Pogue, anonj'mous native writers and others, and all the portions germane to the subject have been translated or retranslated by the Curator, except a few chapters of Malo. In this work assistance has been received from Messrs. T. G. Thrum, W. H. Rice, J. S. Emerson, John Wise and others. The most important section, Malo's chap- ter on heiau, has been submitted with full notes to Rev. Henry H, [252] Director s Report for Tgry. 7 Parker for comment, but not yet returned. As mentioned in the previous Report, an understanding of the heiau subject was ob- tained from these accounts not possible by other means today. "Being requested by the Director to report on the remains of the ancient feather sash belonging to the Museum, the same was studied and the pattern worked out. A study of its technique, however, required a minute examination of other specimens of feather work which is proceeding and will, it is hoped, result in a paper on the technique of Hawaiian feather work. "Traveling Exhibit. — Five of the padded compartment cases to hold the casts for this exhibit have been prepared by the carpenter. However, all of the specimens selected have not been cast, as Mr. Thompson must give his first attention to the perish- able fish and fruit as they are found. "Mould ix Cases. — This was brought up in my report for 1 91 5 and suggestions made for a remedy. However, an experi- ment of continuall}- burning electric lights in the cases was tried and while the mould was reduced, it was not eliminated. At the beginning of this 3'ear the lights were turned off for a month, and the mould returned more abundantly than ever. It would now be well to take up the matter of damp-proofing the cases. "Work Outside the Department.— 77/(? Haivaiian Rat. Living specimens of the supposed!}^ extinct native rat were sent to Dr. Witmer Stone of Philadelphia in 1915 for description. His manuscript was not received until the last week of 19 16, and was published in 191 7. with additional notes by the Curator.' "This year specimens of the Fanning Island rat were received from Mr. W. H. C. Greig, and appear distinct from the Hawaiian species. Dr. Stone was asked if he would care to examine them for description if necessary, but since he has not replied, it may be presumed that he will be unable to do so. In one of his letters he expressed the fear that his increasing office and editorial work would compel him to abandon his systematic work. "Legislation. — While studying the haunts of the native rat the attention of the Curator was drawn to the wanton destruction by human beings of the native bird life on the coastal islands of ^Occasiojial Papers, Vol. Ill, No. 4. [253] 8 Director s Report for igry. Oahu. Owing to the lack of a curator of ornithology' in the museum, or an active member of the Audubon Society in the Ter- ritory, the Curator felt impelled to interest local people in the pro- tection of birds and other laud forms of native life in places where government protection had not been afforded. The Legislature of this Aear passed a law authorizing the Board of Agriculture and Forestry to draw up regulations to control the unfortunate situa- tion, and the Board has the matter well in hand. The Curator has further cooperated with Chief Forester C. S. Judd in placing warn- ing signs on some of the islands." Botany. — Owing to the unfortunate illness of the Curator, no full account can be given of what has been a \er\- bus\- year in this department. The Curator spent some months on Lanai, Kauai, and Maui and collected many plants, how many must appear in a subsequent report. Exchanges have also been numerous and important. He was engaged in poisoning his late accessions at the time he was seized with his illness, and attributed it, in part at least, to this disagreeable work. No doubt when his report ap- pears it will show a decided increase in not only the number of specimens, but in the value of the herbarium as a whole. The most important addition to the herbarium during the >ear was due to the fortunate discovery by Rev. J. M. Lydgate, of Lihue, Kauai, in his former home at Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, of an almost forgotten collection of Hawaiian plants collected or named by Dr. Hillebrand numbering some four hundred and fifty .speci- mens. This was examined by the Curator and found in excellent condition and the Trustees at once purchased it. It is fortunate that so much of Dr. Hillebrand 's collection should be here in Hawaii; the rest of the material he used in writing his Flora of the Haivaiian Islands is elsewhere. Ornithology. — As the Museum has had no curator of orni- thology, it has fallen to the lot of the Director to remove the entire stored collection from the strawboard boxes in which the\' were [254] Director's Report for i()i". 9 carefully packed to the steel trays in the steel cases provided for their safe storage. This has been done with care and the collec- tion was found generally in good order. Labels designating family, genus and species were printed and placed upon cases and trays, and the specimens were arranged in the cases, sy.stematically in regard to the Hawaiian portion, and the balance of the collection geographicalh-. This work has taken part of the last two years, and r have been assisted by Messrs. H. Leon Ebersole, Woods Peters, in their vacation time, and by my Secretary' Richard Ern- est Lambert, until the catalogue is complete, so far as there is room in the cases, and each species can readily be found. Before under- taking the task, I did not imagine that the Museum presented so many species not only indigenous to these islands, but also from the other groups of the Pacific and the coast of California, and Australia and the East Indies. They are in such excellent cases, that with occasional airing the specimens should last man}- years, even if the Museum has no regular curator of ornithology. Pultnonata. — The Curator of Pulmonata, Dr. C. Montague Cooke, reports: "In the year 191 7 your Curator can report that more work has been accomplished than in an}- previous 5'ear. Practically all the material that has come in during the >ear has been catalogued except the specimens collected on Molokai during the early part of December. In addition numerous odd lots of shells were cata- logued, some of which had been acquired b}- collection or gift as fBr back as 19 13. There still remain six different collections wait- ing to be catalogued (estimated between 50,000 and 75,000), made up for the most part of the genus Acliatinella. As these shells ought to be numbered individually, your Curator does not feel like undertaking the work at present as the amount of time necessary to do this can be more advantageously employed. "Collection. — The type and cotype material belonging to the genus Auriculella has been catalogued and arranged in the collec- tion. Also the entire collection of this genus, made before 1905, was entered into the catalogue. This contained more than 14,000 [255] lo /h'ircfor' .\ Report for y<^/j. specimens distributed over 490 catalogue numbers. During the year 62,661 new specimens were catalogued and added to the col- lection. Of these 21,492 were acquired by gift, 9602 in return for preparing and naming specimens of other collectors, 5455 b\- collec- tion of other members of the staff, 25,499 by collection of the Curator, and 613 types, cotypes and paratypes of Auriculella. These 62,661 specimens were distributed over 3467 catalogue numbers. Alto- gether (including Auriculella) 76,689 specimens were catalogued during the year, which exceeds the largest year's addition (1914) by nearly eight thousand specimens. "The (ieorge Munro collection of the genus Parluli)ia from Lanai was purchased during the year. This collection though not large is a valuable one to the Museum as the exact locality and date of collection is placed with each lot of shells and the col- lection is accompanied b}- a map showing each of the localities. "Field Work. — No extended collecting trip was undertaken during the year, single day trips being the rule. The shells which were collected by the Curator and catalogued represent forty-two days of field work, not all of which were taken during the year, as, as stated above one or two of the lots were collected as far back as 1913. The bulk of catalogued specimens was collected during the latter part of 191 6 and 191 7. Publication. — A short paper dealing with some new species and varieties of the genus Amastra appeared during the early part of the year. Gifts. — Your Curator wishes to thank the following persons for their gifts catalogued during the past year: Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, Messrs. A. F. and J. Gouveia, I. Spalding, P. H. Timberlake, R. Mist, D. Thaanum, F. P. Pierce, B. C. Oliveira, J. S. Emer- son, D. Fleming, G. P. Cooke, C. N. Forbes and J. C. Bridwell; Parker Ranch; Mrs. G. W. Bryan; Miss Carolene Cooke; Masters Girdler, Desnouee, Lorimer and C. M. Cooke III." Dr. Cooke's list of Leptaehatina , Pauahia , Auriculella , (iulickia , Elas/nias, Tornatcllina ^ Tornatcllidcs and Tornatellaria will be found later in this report. It will not only show the richness of the Museum collection but be of no little use in arranging exchanges. [256] Diirdor's Report for igiy. ii Modeling. — Mr. J. W. Thompson, our Artist and Modeler, has been fulh- occupied during the year. He reports as cast and painted twenty-six ethnological specimens, some for the traveling collection, others of loans, among the latter remarkable copies of wooden idols; also sixteen casts of fish, five of fruit, two of mollusks, two of Hippocampus, a total of fifty-one finished models. In addition to these, fifteen unfinished casts. He has also prepared two bird skins and two crabs. Among the fish was one born without a tail, apparently a new species of Chaetodontidse. The collection of fish casts in this Museum now far surpasses any similar collection and surely deserves a handbook, but before this can be written the many species in the collection unnamed and undescribed should be studied by an expert, and the Museum has no curator of marine zoology. Hntomology. — Quoting from the report of the Honorary Curator Mr. Otto H. Sweze}^ where he speaks of the Helms collec- tion: "This large collection will furnish an inexhaustible source of entomological work in the future, as a great deal of it consists of unnamed specimens, and it will always be of great value for refer- ence by the entomologists of Honolulu, as well as of interest to the casual visitor, as it contains so many beautiful and queer forms, as well as many of immense size and peculiar structures." While the orders Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidop- tera, Hymenoptera and Neuroptera were transferred from the old boxes in which they came to the Museum to the new cabinet drawers without any special study, of the Coleoptera the large families Cicindelidae, Carabidae, Scarabaeidae, Buprestidae, Tene- brionidae, Cerambycidae and Chrysomelidae were specially studied to determine their proper arrangement in the cabinets. There yet remain to be transferred part of the ChrNSomelidae, the Curculi- onidae and several minor families, and the New Zealand Coleoptera. In referring to the work on the Hawaiian collections Mr. Swezey continues: "The Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera and part [257] 12 Diri-ilor's Report for rgi~. of the Lepidoptera, H\inenoptera and Orllioptera have been trans- fered to the new cabinets from the drawers in Hawaiian Hall where they have been for the past several years. They are thus put in a more convenient location for reference and study by any of the local entomologists. "During the \ear Mr. Hridwell has added to the collection of Hawaiian insects the following specimens collected by him in the mountains and other parts of Oahu: Hymenoptera, 570 specimens: Diptera, 15S: Coleoptera, 975; Orthoptera, 44; Hemiptera, 933; Neuroptera. 17; Odonata, 10; Lepidoptera, 543. A total of 3250 specimens which is more than one-fifth the number of the speci- mens already in the collection of Hawaiian insects. This new material has not been worked up, but it is readily seen that there are many species among them not hitherto in the collection, and there are also some new species among them." It should be noted that hitherto the IMuseum has had but sixty-four per cent of the number of species listed in the Fauna Ha-waiiensis. This is an indication of the importance of having a working curator under Mr. Swezey in this department. The number of insects if not of species certainly seems to be increasing on these Islands. Bxhibitions. — Quoting from the report of Mrs. Helen M. Helvie, Superintendent of Exhibition Halls, in regard to the rela- tion of the Museum to the public: "The attendance has kept up very well in spite of the changes in steamer schedules, and the withdrawal of many of the passenger boats between Honolulu and the Coast. More local people have visited the Museum, and soldiers from the neighboring forts frequenth' spend an hour or two of their spare time in going through the Museum, and enjoying the ex- hibits. The attendance of school children has been steadiK- in- creasing. This year we have had forty-five classes with 1 290 pupils from different schools, public and private; and very genuine inter- est in the specimens is always shown." I might add to the report my own impressions of some of our soldier visitors, whom I have Director' s Report for igij . 13 accidentally met in the galleries and have conversed with. In ex- plaining or directing their attention to particular objects I have found a much greater interest and intelligence than in the average visitor. I have seldom conducted a party of these young men from case to case without feeling myself refreshed instead of wearied: if all the American soldiers could prove as bright, clean, vigorous and receptive as those I have met by chance in the Museum halls, there would be a bright augury for the triumph of the American troops.

In comparing the total attendance of four successive \ears we find — 1914 »5.573 1916 15.529 I9'5 15.9^5 J917 J5.657 It is rather surprising to see for the past j^ear the native Hawaii- aus are represented by onl}- 713 while Chinese count 1 142 and Jap- anese, the major part of the population of the Territor\-, register only 2599. The Chinese have always been among the most inter- ested of our visitors, and yet the>- are the only people excluded from free access X.o free America I Museum Press. — The greater part of the year the printer has been busy with the P'ornander papers which are being pre- pared for the press under the able editorship of the veteran pub- lisher and antiquarian, Mr. Thomas G. Thrum. Last year the first part was issued and this year the first volume has been completed and would have been issued except for some delay on the index of nearly fifty quarto pages. This has passed the press and will be distributed early in 191S. As the remainder of the F"ornander papers will fill two of the average volumes of the Museum J/e//nv'rs, and the printing of these will occupy much time, the first part of Volume \'II of the Memoirs has been largeh" put in type and will soon be issued. The Aiinual Report of the Director for igi6 has also been i.ssued during the year. As during the latter part of the year our printer has been without assistance, and during the tem- porary absence of Mr. Thrum has had difficult work with the Hawaii- an version of the Fornander papers, especially in proofreading, a difficulty the Director shared with him, he deserved commendation. It might be wise in selecting an assistant to fill the existing vacancy- to consider an educated Hawaiian printer, if one can be found. [260] Dircclor s Repot for igfy. 15 After no little delay and by the efficient system of "trackers" a large consignment of printing paper of the quality used in our publications traveled from Maine and was finally shipped to us. I/ibrary. — From the report of Miss Elizabeth Higgins, Libra- rian, I quote the following: "In some ways the year just closed has been the most satisfac- tory in the history of the Library, though a change of assistants early in the spring interfered rather seriously with the progress of our work. However, two weeks after Miss Steinbring left we were fortunate in securing the services of Miss Lucile Lucas, whose ex- perience in a San Francisco office enabled her quickly to learn the routine of our office and librar}- work. In addition to her regular duties, Miss Lucas prepared a shelf list for a large part of the library and made a number of copies of manuscripts and special articles required b}- the Director and members of the staff. Carbon copies of these articles were covered in heavy paper, labeled, and placed in the Library as separates. I regret that the offer of a con- siderably higher salary has caused our capable assistant to return to the Coast, thus making the training of another the first work of the new year. "Accessions. — The acce.ssions from exchanges continue to de- crease, the number of volumes from that source completed this year being only seventy as compared with one hundred and ninety-six in 1913. On the other hand gifts, especially of local publications, have been large and the purchases include a number of rare vol- umes and parts that were much needed. Among the more import- ant purchases may be mentioned the following: The Auk, 1900-19 17, completing the series from 1S84. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, 26 early publications. Lacordaire et Chapuis, Genera des Coleopteres. Paris, 1S54-1876. Photostatic copy of Ingraham's I'oyage of the Hope, 1 790-1792. (Original manuscript in the Librarj' of Congress. ) Hooker and Arnott, Hotauy of the Blossom. London, 1S31-1833. (Parts I-IV only. Hawaiian section complete.) "The gifts of the year include a large quantity of newspapers and periodicals in the Hawaiian language, representing twenty-six different publications, dating from 1S49. For these thanks are due [261] 1 6 Dirrctoi's Ripot for /gfj. especially to the Hawaiian Historical Society, the Territorial Gov- ernment through Mr. Lydecker, and the Catholic Mission through the Rev. Father Y/.endoorn. From the Historical Society we re- ceived also a large quantity of books, pamphlets and parts in Eng- lish, including eight volumes and thirty-three parts of the .1//ss/o>i- arr Herald, 1S46-1867, needed in completing our file. Letters from Father Coan, and other missionaries, giving descriptions of man- ners and customs in Hawaii and numerous observations on the volcano of Kilauea, make this series a valuable one for the Museum. "F^arly in the autumn a systematic effort was made to discover how many earh' Hawaiian newspapers and periodicals were still in existence in the homes of the people. With this object in view, more than a hundred letters were written to ministers, district magistrates, circuit court judges, legislative representatives and others on the different islands. We are indebted to the Rev. Henry P. Judd for assistance in regard to names and addresses. Many answers were received but only two of them could be considered favorable. One man wrote that he had kept files of several publi- cations, giving the list; the other replied that he had a few Hawaii- an papers which he did not care to sell. The result of this canvass shows that practically no files of Hawaiian publications are now in existence outside of institutions and the large libraries of collectors, and that what we have been able to collect is an important acqui- sition. "BiXDiN'G AND Exchanges. — One hundred and ninety-three books have been bound and the list of exchanges has been in- creased by four. "Indexing.- The indexing of the more important Pacific voy- ages is now fairly under way, four drawers of a card cabinet being now filled with the index to Cook's last voyage (London, 17S4. 3 vols. ) The ethnological subject headings are based largely on those used in Notes and Queries on Anthropology — published for the British Association for the Advancement of Science — and Frazer's Questions on the Customs, Beliefs and La>iouages of Savages. Although considerable work in the way of combining and revising must 3^et be done before it is in any sense complete, the index is now ready for use and in fact is now being used. Next will come an index of the same voyage by William Ellis, surgeon on the [262] Director's Report for igij- 17 "Resolution" (London, 1783, 2vols. 8vo.). A steel card cabinet is now needed for the indexes to the voyages. "The listing of duplicates and the classification of our lists of 'wants' have been begun. When the work is complete copies will be sent to all the institutions on our exchange list. This method, we hope, may unearth some important items that we have not been able to obtain from book dealers. "Requests come to us from time to time for information in le- gard to lists of books on Hawaii. One of the librarians in the Library of Hawaii recently brought up the question of an Hawaii- an bibliography saying how urgently a good one was needed. B}^ way of suggestion, I may give my opinion that a good bibliography could be prepared at the Museum by collecting the lists on special subjects already prepared by the curators of departments and by getting some help from outside specialists. General works should, I think, be limited to those of original observers, or else the list should be annotated. Such a work could not well be undertaken by the Museum at present, but the need of it is unquestioned." The Librarian is right in her opinion that this work could not be undertaken at present when the Museum has but three active curators of botany, ethnology and pulmonata. This Museum has no curator of ornithology to speak for the bird life and history; no curator of marine zoology to speak of the fishes and their vast and much studied life, of the corals, that some day may prove an index to the age and formation of not only islands but continents within the limits of coral growth, indeed of the life of the ocean almost as extensive as the life of the land, and some day to take his place as head of the marine zoological station that Mr. Bishop gives a promi- nent place in his Deed of Trust, and for which the Legislature of the Republic of Hawaii granted a location, and the Director of this Museum made plans that were approved by Alexander Agassiz and Dr. Dohrn of Naples; no curator of geology to call attention to all that has been written on the volcanic manifestations on this Group; no taxidermist to care for the large collection now in the Museum of bird skins, nests and eggs; now without going farther.

[263] 1 8 Pi rector's Report J or f(jr~. if the rvil)rarian cares to enter this field as it now stands, while I do not doubt her ability to accomplish the task, the labor will l)e very great. If after the war the new Director should ])e able to fill some of the vacant curatorships, the labor will be much lightened, and that there is need of such a bibliography is well known to every one who is interested in museum work or who cares to look into Hawaiian matters. If the bibliography could be made to include Hawaiian matters of natural history as well as descriptive eth- nology contained in many volumes of Transact io)is in the Museum Library it would indeed be an ac(|uisition.

P. Bishop Aluseum. Bv C. IMoxTAGUE Cooke Jr. Ix presenting the following catalogue of Leptachatinae and Tornatellinidse in the Museum collection, the list is made to in- clude all the species, subspecies and varieties recognized in Vol- umes XXI and XXIII of the Manual of Conchology. All the forms listed are present in the Museum collection except those lacking a statement of the authority of identification. The author intends that this list may be considered a preliminary catalogue showing merely what species are at present in our collection. It may seem advisable at some future date to publish cata- logues of genera or groups of species based on the collections now in the Museum. A very few species in our collection were not dealt with at the time the manuscripts were prepared for the Manual of Conchology (due to insufhcient material), and numer- ous new forms are continually being added. The scope of these catalogues will be to show as far as possible our knowledge of the distribution and variation of each of the species dealt with. A summary tabulation follows the list. We are fortunate to have represented in our collections such a large percentage of what may be considered t3'pe material. I^EPTACHATIN^. LEPTACHATINA Species fro))i Kauai.

Forbes. October, 1918. The first Hawaiian representative of this small genus of the Compositse was discovered by Horace Mann on the summit of West Maui where it is still a common plant. It also occurs on Eke, a small isolated crater to the west of the summit peak Puu Kukui,' but has not been reported from elsewhere. Two vmde- scribed species, noted below, occur in bogs on Kauai, while per- haps these or others may eventually be found in bogs on Molokai, East Maui and Hawaii. The habitats of the Hawaiian species are the open bogs of the humid rain-forests at elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 feet. The rainfall in these localities varies from 200 to 600 inches per annum with some rain or fog practically every day in the year. While on Eke I noticed two forms of L. mavicnsis Mann which at first sight seemed to be distinct varieties, but further study in field and herbarium shows them to be simply variations of a single species. The species and forms may be described as follows: Artificial Key to Hawaiian Species. Flower heads large, over i cm. in diameter. Rav florets entire L. uiaviensis. Ray florets emarginate /,. Diavicnsis forma onari^inata. Flower heads small, under i cm. in diameter. Leaves glabrous L. Erici. Leaves hirsute L. Helena. ' In conversation with Rev. J. M. Lydgate I learn that the Keka locality of Dr. Hillebrand is the point now generallj' known as Puu Kukui, and so recorded on the official maps. This fact is of considerable importance to the student of Hawaiian botany because the two localities have similar though slightly different floras. Eeka is given by Hillebrand as the type locality for some of his species, while in reality Puu Kukui is the place where the plants were collected. It is practically impossible to reach Eke from Puu Kukui; and I very much doubt if Hillebrand ever visited the localit3\ There may be some question as to whether Eke and Eeka are the same place.

Miuutel}' viscous-pube.scent herb with a thick creeping rhizome. Leaves radical or crowded on a short stem, coriaceous, sessile, cuneate to spatulate-oblanceolate, acute or rounded at the apex which is coarsely serrate, entire toward the base, covered with resinous glands and a short, evanescent, pubescence above, pale and glabrous below, 4.8 cm. long, 6 mm. wide ("Abovit 2 inches long, 4-6 lines wide," Mann). Scape 18-23 cm. long, distantly' foliose with 3-9 linear-spatulate bracts. Heads globose, large for the genus, 1.5 cm. in diameter. Involucral bracts linear-oblong, acute, membranous, pubescent, equaling the disk. Ray florets entire, pointed, in 3-4 series, slightly longer than the ^-ellow disk florets, reddish purple.

This form is generall>- a smaller plant with shorter scapes of 3-8 cm. in length. The flowers are often darker colored, and the rays are emarginate, usually- conspicuously .so. The common oc- currence of small plants with entire rays, and the rare occurrence of large plants with emarginate rays prevent the separation of va- rieties. Forma emaroinata looks veiy distinct when growing. Specimens in B. P. B. M. Herbarium. T>pe, C. N. Forbes, No. 379, M. FIke, W.

Glabrous or slightly viscous herb with slender creeping rhi- zome. Leaves very small, radical or crowded on a short stem, coriaceous, sessile, cuneate to spatulate-oblanceolate, rounded at the coarsely serrate apex with one or two minute teeth below, glabrous, pale below, 1.1-1.6 cm. long, 3-4 mm. wide. Scape 6-7.4 cm. long, distantly foliose with 1-2 minute leaf-like bracts. Heads small, 8 mm. in diameter. Involucral bracts oblong-cuneate, acute, membranous, glandular-pubescent, equaling the disk. Ray florets entire, pointed, as long as the disk florets, purplish. Achenes obovoid -oblong. This species differs from other Hawaiian species in its small, glabrous leaves, and in the small flower heads. It remains to be seen whether robust forms of this species do not occur in the Ala- kai swamp countr_v. [306J 3. LAGENOPHORA. ERICI FORBES. (Reduced -I-h times. I 62 Director's Report for icjij.

Leaves very small, radical, coriaceous, obovate to spatulate, contracting at the base into a very short-margined petiole, rounded and finely serrate at the apex, hirsute on both faces, 1.6-1.7 cm. long, 6-7 mm. wide. Scape 7 cm. long, hirsute, folio.se near the head with linear-spatulate bracts. Heads globose, 9 mm. in diameter. Invo- lucral bracts oblong, acute, equaling the disk. Achenes not seen. This species is evidently very rare as only a single specimen was collected, but is, however, so distinct as to warrant description. The species can be recognized at once by the hirsute pubescence, and shape of the leaves. It is hoped to obtain further material in the future for a more minute examination of ray flowers and achenes. [308] 4. LAGEXOPHORA HELENA FORBES & LYDGATE. I Natural sizp. i INDEX.
