Mises OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

DuRING the period from November 9, 1900 to September 21,
1903, it was the writer’s privilege to make collections of fishes for
the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in the following islands:
Tahiti and Raiatea, of the Society group; Tubuai, of the Austral
group; Mangareva, of the Gambier group; Rarotonga, of the
Cook group; Makatea, of the Paumotu group; Nukuhiva, of the
Marquesas group; Fate, of the New Hebrides; Shortland, of the
Solomon group.

A total of 1550 specimens were secured, representing 375 spe-
cies, 33 of which seem to be new to science.

I am indebted to President Jordan for various suggestions and
for the permission to compare my specimens with those contained
in his collections from Samoa and Hawaii.

The nomenclature adopted is essentially that adopted by Presi-
dent Jordan in his forthcoming report on the Fishes of Samoa, in
the preparation of which the present writer has taken part.

Fishes of the South Pacific. II

Body is elongate, cylindrical; no pectoral fins. ‘The 4 speci-
mens of this species, secured at Tubuai Id., of the Austral group,
form a series which show no structural differences,’ and in which
the color markings intergrade perfectly.

No. 765 B. M., a female, 11.75 in. in length, has the follow-
ing color markings: In spirits, color dark brown, shading into
black on the posterior half of the body; the body covered with
minute white dots, like pin points, yellow in life, none of the dots
are as large as the head of a pin, these dots very numerous on the
anterior third of body and head, but gradually decreasing in num-
ber posteriorly, until on the posterior half of the body they are few
and widely scattered; belly and throat yellowish white, being
powdered with yellowish dots; in addition to the above there is on
the anterior half of the body a number of round, indistinct black
spots the size of eye, these show a tendency to form imperfect ver-
tical, band-like arrangement; fins colored similar to body, caudal
with a narow white margin.

No. 763 B. M., a female, ro in. long, is colored and marked
exactly as above, except the dots are a trifle larger, being the size
of pin heads; the yellow coloring on the belly showing a tendency
to become reticulate.

No. 766 B. M., a male, 11.50 in. long, colored and marked as
No. 763 except the dots are larger being the size of the pupil of
the eye, the ground color is a shade less dark, and the anterior
dots show a tendency to become less regular in their roundness.

No-w7e0)B.M. Length to in. Colored as No: 766, except
the dots are still larger, and show a decided tendency to become
reticulate, especially on the anterior part of the body.

All of the specimens show the round, indistinct black spots,
the size of the eye on the anterior half of the body.

Four specimens, Nos. 763, 765, 766 and 769 B. M., from
Tubuai, Austral Ids.

Another moray, No. 1566, from Tahiti, was provisionally but
probablv incorrectly identified with Radbula marmorea (Valenci-

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BERNICE PACA
BISHOP: MOUSEOM.

Sirs: —In accordance with the standing vote of the
Trustees, I submit my Annual Report on the present condition
of this Museum and the work done or planned in the various
departments during the year 1907.

WILLIAM TO BRIGIZAM
Direétor of the Museum.

Honolulu, February 14, 1908.

Ordered printed July ro, rg08.

REPORT

HILE it is most gratifying to a Director to report substantial

gains and general prosperity of the institution in his charge,

no such officer can escape the general law of changing light and

shade, and he must at times recognize the fact that there are sea-

sons when the results are not in proportion to the labor expended

and not such as each member of the Museum staff has honestly
and industriously striven to attain.

Such has been the year just closed. Perhaps of all the few
years of the life of this Museum hitherto the one of which it must
be admitted that we cannot marshal this list of accessions, that
table of attendance, an increased number of workers, better ac-
commodation for the work, or even many additional attractions
for the amusement or instruction of the public.

While Mr. Otto H. Swezey has joined us as honorary Curator
of Entomology, and Miss E. Schupp as Librarian, we have lost
Mr. W. A. Bryan who, early in the year was reappointed Taxi-
dermist and Curator of Ornithology for six months, this term ex-
piring July 31st. Both our publications and our exhibition cases
will suffer from the loss, and it will be difficult to fill the place of
so active and successful a worker. Mr. L. G. Blackman, who has
for years been a most acceptable librarian and general assistant,
listened to the lure of his favorite occupation of teaching and left
us to become head master of the recently founded Aliiolani College
in this city. The Museum has lost strength in his departure.

Mr. Hugh F. Sturtevant, who has for several summer vacations

acted as Assistant, to our great satisfaction, died of typhoid fever
not long after his return to his regular school work on Honokaa,
Hawaii, and every member of the staff mourns the loss of a col-
league and dear friend.

The Curatorship of Ornithology has not been filled, although
there have been applications for the position, because with the
limited income of the Museum it is impossible to fill all the posi-
tions that should be made in a museum of the size and rank of this
institution, and, as much work had been done on the collection and
preservation of birds until the specimens were very numerous and
the portion of our library devoted to this branch was rich in the
working literature of ornithology, it seemed better to turn our
limited powers to some other department where a skilled worker
was greatly needed, and such an one was unquestionably Botany.
Not only do our valuable collections need the care of an expert,
but they should be so increased that by exchange we could acquire
ample specimens of the Polynesian flora on other groups, such as
New Zealand, Tahiti, Samoa and Tonga. With the exception of
a good collection of New Zealand ferns we have nothing from the
rest of the Pacific, and as we have few, if any, botanists on this
group, the Director finds great difficulty in answering the frequent
requests for specimens or definite botanical information. Witha
competent botanist we could be of no little use to many institu-
tions and botanical workers abroad as well as able to acquire new
material in this line for our herbarium and cases. Our library
should be largely increased in botanical literature, although it is
already not to be despised. Still there are whole families of
Hawaiian plants needing thorough study and illustration, such as
the very remarkable and interesting tree lobelias so important a part
of the Hawaiian flora. I had hoped to take this in hand myself
and had collected much material for illustration and had prepared
a few colored plates, but the pressing work of administration has
hitherto made the prosecution of such a great work impossible for

me, and I had thought perhaps if a suitable botanist and collector
[94]

Director's Annual Report. 5

could be obtained, I might attempt to finish this task. Some one
should do this, for at present the family is in sad confusion and needs
ample revision and illustration. It would add greatly to the value
of our publications could a monograph on the Hawaiian Lobeliaceze
be issued from our press. I have for some months been conducting
negotiations looking to securing such a botanical assistant.

We also greatly need a marine zoologist, not only to work on
our reefs and study the many undescribed or little known species
of marine life, but to complete the grand collection of fishes
which so far as shown in the admirably colored casts prepared by
Mr. J. W. Thompson, our artist, greatly interest and delight our
visitors, but more important still add to the known species, and
increase our knowledge of species already named. As a single
instance, during the past year has been added to our collection a
large eel common in Samoan waters, but never before reported from
these islands: nor is this a solitary case; in many other specimens
in our collection of casts we have either found new species, or old
species for the first time reported from these waters.

If we had the income needed to secure the additional workers
we have not at present, nor do I see any immediate prospect of
securing such conveniences as are necessary for their work, let
alone space within the Museum walls for storage of the specimens
they may be expected to add. For months I have endeavored to
formulate plans which could meet the needs of such a museum as
this, and after presenting to the Trustees three successive sets of
plans, the second and third pared down from the preceding until
the attenuation can be carried no farther and leave vitality enough
in the structure to be of real use, still the funds available do not
admit, in the opinion of a majority of the Trustees, of beginning to
build. Ido not despair, for the architect who planned the origi-
nal structure of this Museum gave only a closet under the stair-
way (which now hardly suffices for the janitors to store their im-
plements) for all the Museum work. ‘Then came the cellar under

Polynesian Hall, and at last the temporary wooden buildings,

[95]

6 Director's Annual Report.

several hundred feet away for the Press, Taxidermy, Photography
and everything else. So in the process of evolution we may attain
even greater helps in our work.

With no suitable workrooms, still less any adequate store-
rooms at present, a condition of things which is I believe admitted
by all the Trustees, the workers in the Museum cannot justly be
blamed if they do not take active measures to increase the collec-
tions when we have nowhere to prepare, exhibit or store them.
When they have not sufficient room apart from the public exhibi-
tion halls to unpack valuable collections already in possession;
when they see valuable specimens fade away to worthlessness in
the exhibition cases because they have no other place safe from
insects in which to store them.

And this brings me to the consideration of one of the most
important objects for which this Museum was founded,—the fre-
servation of the objects collected within its walls. We have taken
several important steps in that direction: a durable and essen-
tially fire-proof building; cases as insect- and dust-proof as they
can be made; a free use of preservatives, poisons and insecticides.
All this is well but not enough. Certain rare specimens should
no longer be exposed to the intensely actinic light of this climate
but be withdrawn from public exhibition and consequent expos-
ure, and stored for study by another generation of scientists instead
of being sacrificed to the idle curiosity or unheeding gaze of the
average visitor.

I had intended to place before you an analysis of what has
been published by eminent museologists,—Drs. Flower, Goode,
‘True and others on the side of work and store rooms, but our situ-
ation in the midst of the Pacific is so peculiar that even the gener-
ous allotment of work and store space by all these masters as
distinct from the public exhibition halls of a museum, will hardly
meet the wants of this Museum in a tropical climate, where work
rooms must not be cramped and heated, and storage must be well

aired and accessible. Our conditions are greatly variant from

[96]

Director’s Annual Report. 7

those of most large museums in cold climates where they have
need of artificial heat during a portion of the year, and the winter’s
cold checks the activities of insect pests, while here pests of that
nature are perennial and far exceeding in variety and abundance.
In spite of the best of cases, collections of birds, insects, plants,
must be frequently inspected, and all museum workers know that
this inspection if properly done, needs room, it cannot be done ina
public gallery in the presence of careless or inquisitive visitors.

I have harped so often on this string that I refrain from weary-
ing you farther with what seems to all of us engaged in museum
work the most important, and sooner or later the surely fatal defect
of the Bishop Museum. I will only say that while this monument
to Mrs. Bishop should be a permanent one there is little permanency
about it except in the stone walls and stone implements, and toa less
extent some of the wooden implements and the shells, corals and
volcanic specimens. I should be recreant to my duty as Director of
this Museum if I did not utter this warning. We have made too
much of present exhibition for vain public gratification and have
provided too little for the permanency of the treasures amassed with-
in the Museum walls, which when perished can never be replaced.

I will not leave this subject with the impression that I do not
believe a museum such as this has a part to fulfil toward the public
in exhibiting to a wise extent, that is so far as by so doing it can
convey instruction and even pleasure to visitors, but there is far
greater good to be done to far greater numbers by such collections
as ours in a very different way. They must be studied, here on
the spot, by competent men, and there must be conveniences for
such work. ‘The results thus obtained will reach farther and last
longer than the praises (often unmixed with knowledge) which
fall from the transient visitor, however complimentary, and how-
ever pleasing to one’s self-love.

Hawaiian Hall is large enough, if duplicates could be stored
elsewhere, to exhibit all that any visitor of a few hours need know

of Hawaiian life, human, animal, vegetable or mineral, and Poly-

[97]

nesian Hall will do very well under the same conditions if we
could separate and place in another hall somewhat larger the
Papuan portion of our collection. These two halls would amply
accommodate all the material we ought to exhibit or can afford to
exhibit with the present income of the Museum funds. Unless we
have money to buy certain private collections, we cannot get
things from the Pacific desirable for exhibition in the department
of Polynesian Ethnology simply because they do not exist outside
collections made many years ago, and any proposed ethnological
exploration of the Pacific islands must begin by securing these
private collections which contain far more material for exhibition
purposes than can now be collected on the islands.

I turn to the things in hand,—-pleasanter matter for the earn-
est man than the dream of what might be if we were all wise and
had command of sufficient money. We have by no means been
stranded but have gone slowly on with some things to cheer us as
may be seen in the appended lists of accessions. We have secured
the services of a thoroughly competent entomologist in the person
of Mr. Otto H. Swezey, and for the first time the collections of
Mr. R. C. lL. Perkins, for which the Museum contributed one-
third of the cost of collecting and more than one-half the expense
of publication, are being utilized and arranged for inspection by
students. Under the unfortunate arrangement for the distribu-
tion of the remarkable collection of Mr. Perkins, the portion com-
ing to this Museum of course could not include any species of
which there were less than three specimens collected and so has
none of the very rare ones, yet it is a sufficiently important collec-
tion to be worth all the care that we can bestow upon it.

We have also been fortunate in securing the services of Miss
E. Schupp, formerly Secretary in the Seckenberger Museum at
Frankfurt a/M to take charge of our well-selected and growing
library. Mr. J. F. G. Stokes has not only attended to his work
as Curator of Ethnology, but has been occupied with necessary
work in other departments now without a head, and has done ex-

[98]

tensive work on the plans of the ancient heiau made by his own
careful surveys on Hawaii.

Dr. Cooke has continued his good work on the Hawaiian land
shells and has been during the year appointed Curator of Pulmo-
nata. As he has been able to establish his laboratory in his home
he has suffered less than the other workers from insufficient ac-
commodations. He has prepared an account of the H/awazian
flelicine which is now in the hands of the Publication Committee.

Mr. J. W. Thompson has continued his admirable casting and
painting of the Fishes and Fruits until the results are most valu-
able and interesting, and the extent of his work will be judged by
the appended list of casts.

In the Library the binding of more than five hundred volumes
has been completed, adding greatly to the convenience of the
Museum workers, and the increase has been satisfactory as will
be seen by the list of accessions. We have also added somewhat
to our exchange list. An additional case has been procured for the
constantly increasing cards of the Concilium Bibliographicum, a
collection very valuable in this place remote from large libraries.

The Museum Press has issued only the Annual Report for
1906, but has been occupied with printing the third part of Volume
II of the Memoirs, ‘‘The Ancient Hawaiian House’’, by the
Director. It is hoped that this may be completed during the cur-
rent year. Other papers have been prepared but were not ready
for press during the past year.

The Deverill collection of Hawaiian ethnology which has been
stored in the Museum for some time, has been finally purchased
for the Museum by the C. R. Bishop Trust and will soon be incor-
porated with the general collection. If Mr. Deverill could have
lived long enough to write his notes on the articles comprising his
collection its value would have been greatly enhanced, for he was
a careful observer and his knowledge of native ways was uncom-
monly extensive. It is intended to offer notes on some of the rarer

objects in the Museum publications.

[99]

10 Director's Annual Report.

Of the very remarkable collection of Hawaiian carvings and
other antiquities described in the second part of the second volume of
the Museum Memoirs, two-thirds have come into our possession,
that belonging to Mr. Haenisch by gift, the other by purchase, and
the remaining portion is promised to the Museum and will eventu-
ally be placed in its cases. For many reasons this is one of the most
interesting and valuable collections we have lately acquired, and the
interest it has excited among archeologists and ethnologists abroad
is shown by the call for the published account referred to.

The table of attendance of visitors shows a decrease in the
total from last year of 470. ‘The decrease of tourists continues
although little more than half that of last year. The Museum has
been open five more than half the week-days of the year. The
average daily attendance has, for the first time since 1902, fallen
below 100. The summary of attendance for 1906 and 1907 is here
given and the full table follows. It may be explained that the
class ‘‘others’’ includes Koreans, Philippinos, Hindus and Negroes.

Stone Sculpturings in Relief from the

Hawaiian Islands.
By JOHN F. G. STOKES.

A STONE bearing a remarkable pair of petroglyphs was, a
few years ago, ploughed up at a place called Puu o Ma’o on the
cliff forming the eastern side of Moanalua valley, near Honolulu,
and after being taken to the house of the owner, Hon. S. M. Damon,
was photographed with that gentleman’s kind permission.

The stone is an irregularly shaped piece of rather finely cellu-
lar basalt, measuring 31 inches long, 21 wide and 17.5 thick, the
face of which has been carefully worn down by hammering with a
stone or dull metal instrument, leaving the representations of two
human figures in relief (fig. 1, 6 and a) the outer surface of which
formed part of the original surface of the stone. ‘The workman-
ship in the two figures differs in regard to care of execution, which
is probably due to the fact that fig. 1, a, was nearer completion, and,
being in higher relief than the other, this would allow greater scope
to the dull tools applied. The area enclosed by the bodies, arms
and thighs of both figures and the arm and chin of fig. 1, a, is higher
than the surrounding plane. The sculptured surface might thus
be likened to a zincotype well routed out. ‘This would seem to be
due to the deficiencies of the tools used.

The height of relief of fig. 1, a, varies somewhat, being at finger
tip 1.1 inches, between chin and hand .8, chin 1.4, back 1.8, but-
tocks 2, foot .1 to .3, knee 1.3, between knee and elbow .6, belly .8.
The measurement from head to foot is 11.8 inches. In this figure
a piece has been recently broken out of the arm, leaving a scar
running from the finger to the elbow; but it is still perfeétly clear
that the hand had only three fingers. It is also evident that an
attempt was made to represent the juncture of the wrist and hand
by a narrow cross ridge. A comparison with the conventionalized
hands of the Maori carved figures might not be out of place. The
portion representing the face has been symmetrically chipped away
on both sides leaving a blunt ridge running from the forehead to

the upper lip without any distinctive mark to indicate the nose.
At the angle of the cheek a piece has been gouged out to repre-
sent the eye. The chin has not been worked down and stands
higher in relief than the upper lip. ‘The mouth has been chipped
atanangle. The head is joined to the shoulder directly above
the armpit by a narrow flattened ridge, back of which is a shallow

b VIG elas a

groove. ‘The portion from the parietal region to the middle of the
back has not been finished, as is apparent from the slope of the
stone and the rough pits remaining (figs. 1 and 2). “The shoulder
is in higher relief than the head. ‘The back as far as finished is
well rounded. ‘The buttocks are curved well under the figure.
There was hardly enough material to carve the whole foot in relief,
but a very prominent heel was left. The length of the foot trace-
able is 2.3 inches. The knee is represented by a straight cut
1 inch long. ‘The edge of the belly was finished at a right angle,

probably by rubbing. The surface of this figure is as smooth as
the rough lava would permit, and undoubtedly this effect has been
produced by the same process.

Figure 1, 6, measures 10.2 inches from crown to toe; the height
in relief at back is .8 inch, and at belly .5. Unfortunately the
outer part of the head has been recently broken off, but sufficient

remains to show that there was no mouth, In contrast with fig. 1, a,
this head was set firmly on the body. The chin is very angular.
The hand appears to have only two broad fingers, wide spread,
but probably it is unfinished. The foot is clearly shown in the
photograph and is 2.2 inches long. ‘The edge of the belly was
squared and the other parts rounded. ‘The carving was nowhere
carried under the figure asin a. ‘The surface is rough, and has
probably not been rubbed. No doubt this figure is incomplete.
That the sculptures were made in these islands there can be
little doubt. ‘Though the stone has not been chemically analyzed,

it is of a kind very common at Moanalua, forming a stratum four
or five feet thick in the cliff of that valley. It might be surmised
that the work was done with stone tools' from the pittings on the
unfinished portions. Even were a dull metal instrument employed,
it might be expected that the pittings would be deeper and that
there would be evidence of an occasional glancing blow. It might
be mentioned that the numerous imitations of stone idols seen in
these days show nothing of the care with which these figures have
been carved. ‘The land where the stone was found was uninhabited
from the middle of last century until about 1891 (when Mr. Damon’s
dairy was installed). There is one point yet to be cleared up.
Mr. John Cullen, Mr. Damon’s rancher, employed two men to pre-
pare the small piece of land for planting, and a number of stones
were dug up and used to fence the land, the stone in question,
for some reason unknown, being left in the field. These men
have since left the country. After their departure, Mr. Cullen, a
staunch North Briton, seeing the stone in the field and wondering
why it had not been placed in the wall with the others, made
an examination and found the sculpturings. If ever the two
men are heard from, more may be learned concerning the details
of the discovery.

Before accepting the petroglyphs as of Hawaiian conception,
it would be well to consider the carving in profile, the squatting
position and the detail of the limbs, which place these figures in a
class apart from the Hawaiian petroglyphs so far discovered. ‘The
native wooden images were carved with a close attention to detail.
The stone idols mostly consist of a crudely carved face at the end
of a stone, but on all the Hawaiian idols observed, the nose was
distinct. In fig. a there was sufficient space for the artist to carve
a nose in place of the low ridge by which he indicated the central
line of the face. In this respect fig. a calls to mind the figures on
the Marquesan bone carvings and wooden stilt rests. The Rev.
Win. Ellis gives an illustration’ of a wooden idol with a long head
and similar features, which was secured by Rev. John Williams
in Rarotonga. Edge-Partington and Heape’ figure another one,

accredited to the same island, but it is doubtful how much con-
sideration should be given these resemblances.

The carving in profile and position of the limbs of the petro-
glyphs seem to find close analogy to a figure carved on stone and
seen at Orongo, Easter Island, by Mr. W. J. Thompson.*+ This
figure was perhaps another form of the god Meke-meke5 which
Mr. Thompson says was the most common figure carved at that part
of the island. However, an examination of the numerous tablets
illustrated in the plates accompanying Mr. Thompson’s work will
show a character, with variations, closely resembling the former
figure, which, from the freqency of its occurrence, might be con-
sidered as a representation of a human form portrayed in various
acts. Among the Maori carvings, birds and lizards are found in
profile, but the conventionalized human figure is always presented
with full face, even when the body is seen in profile.

The squatting position of the figures is not uncommon in Poly-
nesia, as seen in these islands, remarked by the missionaries at
Tahiti,° by Melville? at Nukuhiwa, and by Rev. Wm. Ellis® at
Huaheine.

The sculpturing in relief has already been observed on two
Hawaiian stone lamps, one of which was recently purchased by
this Museum with the Deverill collection (fig. 3), and the other,
with a similar figure on one side only, was seen by the writer in
1900 on board a small local steamer which was wrecked a few days
later. However, these figures have no other resemblance to those
at present under discussion. ‘The Bishop Museum is in possession
of two stone fish gods with carvings of fish in relief. One, from
the Deverill collection, represents a human head, with the face
very well made and the neck shaped like a fish tail, the whole
giving the suggestion of a round-bodied fish. At the back of the
head a smaller fish two-thirds the length of the whole, has been
carved in relief. The length of the idol is 8.5 inches. The second
fish god is a thick stone roughly triangular in plan, with top and
bottom flat and sides perpendicular. The top has been worked

down at the edges for about an inch, leaving the shape of a deep
flat-bodied fish, nine inches long. ‘The material in both these
specimens is a very hard compact lava.

Returning to the first subject. It is evident that the work
was done here from the fact that it is unfinished, apart from the
improbability of such a heavy stone being transported in canoes.
The stone is comparatively soft and would not weather well,
though being buried in a comparatively dry soil, it might last in-
definitely. From its incomplete state and the fact of its burial, it
might be argued that it was being carved at the time of the aboli-
tion of the tabu in 1819, and that the sculptor hid it for preserva-
tion during the general destruction of idols which followed. This
concealment of images by their devoted attendants has been the
means of preserving many valuable specimens to the present day.

Seeking the significance of the figures—it is not yet under-
stood if the various Hawaiian petroglyphs are to be considered in
the light of a written language. The natives belonging to Moana-
lua now living had not seen the stone, and the best explanation
the oldest inhabitant could give was that the figures represented the
mythical giant lizard, ‘‘Moo’’, which was ever present in native
superstitions. The same suggestion has been made by natives from
other islands of this group, but only from appearances.

A first glance at the figures would suggest two human beings
in the act of prayer, but the older natives consulted, do not associ-
ate this position with that taken by Hawaiians engaged in the old
forms of prayers. ‘They describe several postures—depending on
the nature of the prayer—standing, on hands and knees, on elbows
and knees with forehead resting on the hands, sitting with legs
and hands folded, also sitting with legs to one side and hands on
the ground. In all these positions, they say that the head should
be hung. The observant Ellis? when at Huahine, noted some of
the positions taken by the southern Polynesians in prayer, and
remarked: ‘‘The petitioner did not address the god standing or
prostrate, but knelt on one knee, sat cross-legged, or in a crouch-
ing position, on a broad flat stone, leaning his back against an
upright basaltic column, at the extremity of a smooth pavement,
usually six or ten yards from the front of the idol.’’ A little later

on,’ referring to his request of an old blind priest at Parea, Hua-
hine, for a repetition of one of the ancient prayers: ‘‘After great’
persuasion, he consented, and assuming the crouching position, or
sitting as it were on his heels, he commenced....’’

The writer is indebted to Dr. Brigham for the suggestion that
the figures represent two people asleep, the position of the head
following naturally the use of a hard pillow.

The idea that the figures represent deities appeals to the writer
more than that of their being intended for mortals, following the
claim of two old natives, who asserted that the figures must be
gods since their faces looked upward. It is not to be expected
that the Polynesian would expend the amount of arduous labor
required to carve these figures so carefully, for any other than a
sacred purpose, and the position of the arms and heads, indicating
the act of eating or drinking, calls to mind the stories told of the
offerings to the gods and spirits of deified ancestors, of food, but
especially drink in the form of awa, which the gods were believed
to have consumed. Were the stone found on the shore instead of
a mile inland, it could be reasonably concluded that the figures
were intended for Kuula, the fish god, and Hina his wife, whose
names are generally linked together. These gods were worshipped
at every fishing ground and in any convenient form, from a shape-
less boulder to a well carved image.

Figure 3 shows a side and two end views of a stone lamp of
basalt (No. 9338) purchased from the estate of the late W. E. H.
Deverill, of Kauai. Unfortunately no history of the circumstances
pertaining to its discovery have been preserved, but there are two
recent abrasions on the outer surface, which might well indicate
that the specimen was found when ploughing—a frequent means
of discovery of many valuable stone implements in these islands.
The upper edge of the lamp has been broken off to a depth vary-
ing from one-half to one inch, but the break is an old one as is
shown by the soot clinging to the broken surface. ‘The inner por-
tion is heavily coated with soot. ‘The Hawaiian lamps have been
described already by Dr. Brigham,"' but the cup in this lamp differs
from that in other specimens in the Museum both in size and
shape. The usual form has a roughly cylindrical hole, with bot-

tom more or less flat, sometimes varied with another small pit in
the middle. ‘The cup in specimen No. 9338 is ovately conical,
with a diameter of 2.8 to 3 inches at the edge and a depth of 3.5
inches. In this specimen, the greater outside diameter is 7.4,
lesser 6.4 and height 6.6 inches. A raised figure of human form
adorns each end, each 6.3 inches high. ‘The noses are in evidence,
while to represent the eyes and mouths, there are slight depres-
sions. Small projections represent the ears. The legs are very
short and are without feet. ‘They were gradually worked down
and disappear at the edge of the convex bottom of the lamp. The
lower portion of the arms of fig. c are bent out a little to represent
hands, and are seen more clearly in fig. d@. In fig. ¢ the breadth
of shoulder is 3 inches, and the height in relief .8 inch, while in
fig. e the measurements are 2.8 and .7 respectively.

The use of the human figure in native art as a means of orna-
menting utensils occurred among the higher castes of Hawaiians,
as is evidenced in some wooden bowls and dishes preserved in this
and other museums. In regard to the intention of the carving
being merely ornamental, a legend has been handed down with
specimen No. 408 in this Museum to the effect that the figures
supporting the dish represented Kahahana, the king of Oahu (con-
quered and slain by Kahekili of Maui) and his wife Kekuapoi-ula,
who were shown in the carvings in the menial position of offering
food and holding their mouths wide open as salt cellars.'* It might
reasonably be believed that the dish was the work of a Maui artist
with the idea of degrading the memory of the vanquished Oahu
king. The custom of honoring or dishonoring the memory of the
deceased by the use of human teeth and bones inlaid in imple-
ments, has been referred to by Dr. Brigham. We might regard
the figures ornamenting the stone lamp under discussion as repre-
senting persons in native history destined by the art of the sculptor
to guard the lamp for all time, but whether as an honorable occu-
pation or a menial task, we cannot decide.

This specimen of native stone work is probably unique, the
only other lamp of like workmanship known, having been lost as
before narrated.

40 Director's Annual Report.

While the following may not be apropos of the subject of this
paper, it is submitted with the hope that it may be of use in locat-
ing the debated site of the human bone fence or house knownas
‘‘Kaualua’’. There is an old native of Moanalua, aged 88, who
has lived at Kalihi, a neighboring valley, for the past twenty-five
years. From the old man’s descriptions and the writer’s meas-
urements it appeared that the stone described in the first part of
this article was found immediately near the Kaualua. ‘The coinci-
dence the writer thought might be of value as a clue to the signifi-
cance of the petroglypks. As the old native was very feeble, the
writer awaited an opportunity when he should feel strong enough
to drive to Moanalua and point out the exact spot where the Kau-
alua stood. ‘This proved to be 700 feet away from the place where
the stone was found, which fact the writer considered was sufficient
to remove any probability of connection between the two. ‘The
native’s opinion could not be shaken, and suggestions of other
sites had no influence with him. ‘The surveyors in these islands
have found the Hawaiians invaluable in pointing out old bounda-
ries in the former complicated land system, and it is generally
conceded that the native testimony on land matters is reliable.
The old man’s story will be told in its sequence.

Fornander"™ gives the following in connection with the mas-
sacre of the Oahu people by Kahekili, king of Maui, after the con-
quest: ‘‘It is related that one of the Maui chiefs, named Kalaikoa,
caused the bones of the slain to be scraped and cleaned, and that
the quantity collected was so great that he built a house for him-
self, the walls of which were laid up entirely of the skeletons of
the slain. The skulls of Elani, Konamanu, and Kalakioonui
adorned the portals of this horrible house. ‘The house was called
‘Kauwalua’, and was situated at Lapakea in Moanalua, as one
passes by the old upper road to Ewa. The site is still pointed out,
but the bones have received burial.’’ Fornander’s account does
not agree with the story told by the Moanalua natives today, which
is repeated as briefly as possible: ‘‘Kalaikoa was chief of the dis-
trict, lived right by the old highway where it crossed the cliff, and
occupied himself by waylaying the travelers and killing them for
the purpose of getting their bones to build a fence around his
house. He was secure from reprisals, as he had a strong body of

“A. Fornander, Polynesian Race, vol. i1, London, 1880, p. 226.

soldiers at his call. After killing his victims he extracted the long
arm and leg bones and planted them upright in the ground to
make a low palisade. Retribution overtook the bloodthirsty chief,
for when he had the fence completed, except for the bones of one
man, he died, and his bones were used to fill the gap.”’

Lapakea is in the valley, about 500 feet away from the cliff.
Were all details known today, the two versions would probably be
found to fit together, except in regard to the bone ‘‘house’’. The
old man’s story agrees with the last, except that he says that the
bones of two men were needed to complete the fence when Kalai-
koa died. He had seen the fence, and the following details were
gleaned on the spot: The fence was composed of the leg and arm
bones placed erect in the ground as close together as the fingers
when relaxed. ‘They were not tied. There was a single line of
fence, making a square enclosure, one side of which was fifty feet
(paced). In this enclosure was a large stone platform on which
the grass house had stood, but there was no house standing when
he first saw the place. Well outside the enclosure, 60 feet to the
south, was a small house, built entirely of stone, into which the
remaining portions of the murdered bodies were put. He had seen
the bones there himself. The house was not an zw (underground
stone-lined oven) but of proper house shape, large enough for the
body of aman. ‘The road passed between this and the fence.

This house the old man spoke of as a ‘‘heiau’’ dedicated to
the war god Kaili. It had walls three feet high and four feet wide,
with a pitched roof of stone and a door facing the bone fence.
Outside the door was a stone pavement, where the priests gathered.

As pointed out, the Kaualua was in the land of the same
name close to the boundary of Puu Kapu. The land of Kaualua
is a small piece on the plateau about 600 feet wide between Puu
Kapu and Puu o Ma’o. The boundaries of the various small
sections were named for the writer’s edification as they were
passed. The site of the Kaualua is now occupied by a well built
private road and was found at the place where the road passes over
a subway used as a cattle drive.

The description given by Peter Corney's in 1818 of a bone
fence on Oahu, although not specifying the locality, is probably a

true account of the Kaualua, as there has been no mention of
more than one such place in the islands. ‘‘In my tour with Mr.
Manning (Manini), we visited the ruin of a large stone house, or
fort, which had formerly belonged toa great chief; it had a double
fence of human bones around it; these were the bones of his ene-
mies killed in the war before the islands were visited by Europeans.
The bones of this great chief are said to be still in the house; the
natives are afraid to go near it, preferring to go a round of five or
six miles to passing it.’’ The road to Pearl Harbor, whither Cap-
tain Corney was bound, passed through the land of Kaualua at
that time.

Some Birds of Molokai.
3y Wm. ALANSON BRYAN.

WITH a view to securing suitable material for the series of
Hawalian bird groups being assembled in the Bishop Museum, the
writer spent two months (April 15 to June 15, 1907) collecting in
the mountains of Molokai. The collecting of the skins and the
necessary material required in the Museum’s work afforded a favor-
able opportunity for making some detailed field observations on
the nests and habits of many of the birds found on this seldom
visited island. In addition to a general report of the expedition,
the Molokai Olomao (Ph@ornts rutha) is herein described as new
and shown to be a species closely allied to P. /anazensis with
which it has formerly been united. ,

The popular and, in a large degree, the scientific interest in
the expedition centers about the securing of specimens of the Hoa
or Black Mamo (Drepanorhamphus funereus) which is one of the
rarest of living birds. ‘The search of the forests was made with a
view to securing specimens of this species if possible. As a con-
sequence the collecting of other mountain birds was in a sense
incidental to this main endeavor. Locating the present haunts of
the few remaining examples of the Hoa, made frequent change of
station necessary, and, as a result, practically the whole forest area
of the island was visited before the coveted locality was finally
found. ‘The most extended stay, however, was made at Kamoku
camp, and it was at this place that most of the material here re-
ported was obtained.

Kamoku camp is a shelter cabin belonging to the Molokai
ranch. It is located on the southwest side of Hanakalilolilo moun-
tain, near the head of Waikolu valley, and it is well suited to the
requirements of the collector. It is about 4000 feet elevation and
on the edge of the great bog forest at the head of Waikolu and
Pelekunu valleys. In this vicinity have been secured most of the
specimens of birds of the island, now in museums. The region is
also important as the type locality for the Hoa and certain other
birds peculiar to Molokai.

44 Director's Annual Report.

The second camp was at the eastern end of the island near the
mountain Kaunapahu and beside one of the many streams which
unite to pour their waters into the head of Halawa valley. From
this station trails were cut through to Wailau valley and then ex-
tended to the left to reach the centre of the Halawa headwater
country—a region which had never been thoroughly explored.

The third, and in many ways the most successful camp, was
made back of Moanui ranch, near the head waters of the Waialua
stream. ‘The fourth and last station was directly back of Mapu-
lehu, within a short distance of the pali of Wailau valley. From
all of these stations, as centres, excursions were made in various
directions. By reference to the map it will be seen that the forested
eastern half of the island, which is the portion of greatest interest
to the ornithologist, was accessible from the stations mentioned.
From the different camps referred to I was able at least to visit all
of the favorable localities, while the more important collecting
grounds were very thoroughly explored.

What has been said elsewhere' of the difficulties attending the
collecting of birds in the mountains of the Hawaiian group is
especially true of the mountains on Molokai. Indeed it is impossi-
ble in a brief description to give an idea of a region so varied and
broken, representing, as it does, all the main features of a wild
semi-tropical forest and a group of volcanic mountains combined.

For various reasons the wet bog forest at the head of Waikolu
and Pelekunu valleys is conceded to be the most difficult collecting
ground in the Hawaiian Islands. It is situated at a sufficient
elevation to be drenched by almost continuous rains, and as a re-
sult the verdure is always most luxuriant. Under foot, at all times,
is a perfect quagmire up to one’s knees. Overhead the tangle of
vines, aerial roots, ferns, bushes, and standing and fallen trees—all
completely overgrown with moss and slime—are so woven together
as to produce an almost impenetrable jungle. Great palis drop
down perpendicularly for hundreds of feet. Narrow, fissure-like,
forest-hidden valleys, running in all directions, add to the difficulty
of getting about, while numerous vine-covered well-like holes,
often a hundred or more feet deep, play no small part in furnishing

an ever present source of real, though hidden, danger to one work-
ing in the region. Add to all these and a hundred other material
things the discomforts of the cold drenching rains, the dripping
forests, and the dense—oftimes bewildering—clouds of fog that
envelope everything, and there would seem to have been little
omitted that would add to the discomfort of the collector.

The Halawa district is even more discouraging to the nat-
uralist. The country—an otherwise sloping plain—is cut into
long sharp ridges by numerous, almost countless, streams and tribu-
tary ramifying valleys, all converging to pour their waters down
Moaula and Hipuapua falls, into the beautiful Halawa valley.
Throughout this headwater region Ieie (/vevervetza) vines run ram-
pant. ‘The trail must be cleared of them at every step. Splendid
trees are so overgrown and completely hidden by them that when

one looks over the forest from a point of vantage there is little else
than ieie in sight. The difficulties and mishaps incident to carry-
ing a gun and working one’s way for days through such a snarl
can be better imagined than described. It is not uncommon for
one to be forced to abandon the ground entirely, and to climb for
considerable distances over the bushes and low trees; often one is
twenty feet or more from the ground, on top of the tangle of vines.
To find the small and inconspicuously colored birds after they have
dropped to the ground through such a maze is a task of no mean
proportion: often hours of fruitless labor can be thus expended.

Though less boggy than Pelekunu, and less overgrown with
vines than Halawa, the stations at Moanui and Mapulehu each
presented physical obstacles to the collector that are, in their way,
almost as difficult to surmount. Among them might be mentioned
the long narrow ridges and impassable waterfalls at Moanui, and
the precipitous palis of Wailau and Mapulehu.

In general it may be said that the forests of the island are
characteristically timbered with the common native trees of the
group, save for the striking exception of the Koa (Acacia) which
is entirely wanting in the Molokai mountains. The Ohia (J/efro-
stderos) is everywhere the most conspicuous, and, to the ornitholo-
gist, the most important tree. Wild banana (J/wsa), several kinds
of the large lobelias, the Kopiko (S/vaussia), Olema (Perrottetia) ,
and a number of other trees, are common in the higher ranges,
while Kukui (4/eurites) is an abundant species in the valleys and

[135]

on the lower ridges, where, as in the valleys on the windward
side, it grows to an immense size.

As elsewhere in the group, the timbered area is now more
limited in extent than formerly. That this reduction in area has
worked a hardship on the avifauna throughout the islands is well
known. However, on Molokai more than anywhere else, has the
change in the forest and its inhabitants been allowed to come about
naturally, through causes inherent in the fauna and its habitat.
For this reason, fairly reliable testimony, even of a meagre nature,
concerning the existence and subsequent disappearance of certain
birds, before the introduction and spread of foreign plants, animals,
or conditions, is of great interest. It may be regarded as suggest-
ing what would probably have occured in time from innate causes
existing in the fauna or its environment, even though the intro-
duced causes with which we are familiar, had never become active.
As a matter of fact, the impending extermination of certain Molo-
kai birds cannot, in any just way, be attributed to introduced dis-
turbing conditions. In certain other cases, however, it would
seem to be entirely due to conditions brought about since the com-
ing of the white race.

The weather throughout the trip was, I am told, unusually
wet and cold. Heavy rains were of almost daily occurrence, while
cloudy, gloomy weather was almost continuous. ‘This not only
interfered with collecting, but caused many birds to abandon their
nests—often after they had been completed, and I had marked
them for study.

For much of the success of the trip the writer’s, as well as the
Museum’s, thanks are due to the directors of the Molokai ranch
for many special courtesies and privileges. I wish personally, to
make especial acknowledgment of the kindness and hospitality
extended by Messrs. James Munro, C. C. Conradt, O. Tollefson
and C. HE. King.

Micranous hawaiiensis (Roths.).

A few examples were seen at sea off the Wailau side of the
island. ‘There is a cave on the coast between Pelekunu and Wai-
kolu, through which it is possible to row a canoe at low tide, that
is used by this species as a nesting and roosting place. Although
I did not visit the cave, I am reliably informed that the thousands
of little Hawaiian Tern or Noio make this their home.

Although the Uau is to be seen at the proper seasons on the
channels between the various islands of the group, and has for
generations been hunted by the Hawaiians for food, not to men-
tion its having long ago been made to figure in a very popular
legend of the natives, it has continued to remain one of the rarest
of the Hawaiian birds in museum collections.

Up to the present, save for an immature specimen in the Bishop
Museum that was collected by Mr. Henshaw on the beach at Hilo,
in 1900, the species has been known only from a skin ‘‘from the
Sandwich Islands’’ in the U. S. National Museum (No. 61,259),
collected by Mr. V. Knudsen, and a second specimen taken by
him on Kauai, now in the British Museum. It is, therefore, with
considerable satisfaction that I report on a fine series of adult
skins which I secured on Molokai during the month of June.

On April 26, while at the residence of Mr. John Walker, in
Pelekunu valley, I was shown, ina cabinet of curiosities, a roughly
mounted specimen of the Uau. ‘The bird had been collected by
Mrs. Walker three or four years before the time of my visit, one
morning, asleep in the long grass on the hills back of the village,
and not far from Mrs. Walker’s house. ‘The specimen was kindly
given to me for examination. The following morning, at an early
hour, I heard a solitary bird calling from high up on the cliffs near
the village where I had spent the night. JI at once made an effort
among the natives to organize an Uau hunt. ‘They all agreed

[137]

48 Director's Annual Report.

that it was not the proper season for securing birds, saying that it
would be useless to make the severe climb up the mountain to
where the birds’ nests were. Some weeks later, they assured me,
Uau would be much more plentiful. As it is impossible to find
the birds’ burrows without specially trained dogs, which only the
natives have, I was forced to give up the project for the time being.
My next meeting with the Uau wason Mayg. Iwasona
two day camping trip on the Kaunuohua trail, which leads down
the pali into Pelekunu valley. The object of the trip was to spend
a late evening and early morning in that locality, in the hope of
hearing the call, and, if possible, secure specimens of the Oo, since
the bird, in former times, frequented that section. On the way
down, at about a 3500 foot level, I found the bill, wings, feet and
some loose feathers of an Uau that had been killed and eaten by
some animal, presumably a mongoose, not more than the day be-
fore. ‘That night I went into camp beside the trail in a drenching
rain. ‘The camp was not an elaborate affair, simply a few ieie
vines and ferns piled on a narrow shelf on the pali, the ledge being
scarcely wide enough to lie on. ‘The face of the pali was almost
perpendicular for hundreds of feet above and below me. In fact,
it was so steep that it was necessary, as a precaution, to drive
stakes along the lower side of my bed to prevent the possibility of
its slipping off the edge and my rolling off during the night.
Shortly after dark I began to hear the strange, weird cry of
these petrels, as they sailed about the cliffs, evidently attracted by,
and much exercised over, my campfire. All night long—long
after the fires had died out—they could be heard calling here and
there about my ‘‘swallow nest’? camp. A long drawn out U-a-u,
suggesting the wail of a lonesome cat, would be answered by
Uau—ka-—ka-ka-ka-ka, a note just petrel enough to be recognized
as such, yet combining such a number of other suggestive sounds,
as to render it both indescribable and unforgetable. Though they
frequently flew close to me, there was so much heavy fog that it
was useless to shoot in the dark, besides it would have been almost
impossible to have secured a bird from the precipice below me if
it had been killed by achance shot. ‘The experiences of the night,
however, were enough to assure me that the petrels were about in
sufficient numbers to warrant an effort to secure specimens, when

I could manage the undertaking.
[138]

Some Birds of Molokat. 49

For the next few days following my Pelekunu experience with
the birds, I was camped at Halawa and Moanui. At the former
place, although far from any habitation and in a rugged country,
I did not hear nor see a single Uau. At Moanui, on the other
hand, they were seen each evening at dusk flying over the head-
lands close down beside the sea. Three specimens were taken
June 5 and 6. Itisrather curious that all the birds seen flew along
the coast toward the east, against the wind, while later on, on the
windward side of the island, the birds were seen to return to their
rookeries from all directions. A possible explanation would be
that the birds prefer to follow along coast line to their nesting
places on the opposite side of the island, rather than to take the
more direct route over the mountains through the fog.

A favorable opportunity for visiting the nesting colonies of the
Uau did not come until June 14, when I made a trip down into
Wailau—the valley lying next east of Pelekunu—for that especial
purpose. On the way over the pali from Mapulehu, about half
way down the Wailau trail, a half-eaten carcass of one of these
birds was found, under similar conditions to the one noted from
Pelekunu valley.

At Wailau village I rallied a party of these experienced native
bird catchers, with their Uau dogs, for a day’s hunt on the almost
vertical cliffs of Olokui. For there, well down towards the sea
end of this great pyramid-shaped mountain, at an elevation be-
tween 3500 and 4000 feet, a colony of these birds have reared their
young each season for generations. Each year, during the sum-
mer months, the natives of the valley have formed hunting parties
and have preyed upon the colony in search of the young Uau,
which are regarded as an especial delicacy by all Hawaiians.

Our start was an early and auspicious one. My men were
each provided with a bag which was held on the back, suspended
from the shoulders, in approved native fashion. Save for my col-
lecting gun, we were without firearms and unencumbered. The
day was bright, with occasional showers—just sufficient to keep
every leaf in the moss-grown forest soaked and dripping. Only
the most hardy and venturesome natives ever attempt this climb.
For four hours we struggled up the steep ascent, cutting the trail
through the tangled undergrowth, helping each other up the cliffs

50 Director's Annual Report.

where footholds were wanting, pulling ourselves up by our hands
here, slipping back there, passing the dogs over the dangerous
places, encouraging them over the hard ones, panting, wringing
wet, and all but exhausted, we at last reached the top where the
crest of the ridge slopes down a few hundred feet before it pitches
off for a perpendicular drop to the floor of the beautiful balloon-
shaped valley two or three thousand feet below. The crest of the
ridge, here as elsewhere, is overgrown with the usual jungle of
vines, ferns and trees which hide the steep, broken—often danger-
ous—irregularities of the rocks which it covers.

For the next six hours we ranged over the mountain side, each
of us following as best he could, some one of the dogs. Over the
cliffs and down the valleys they ran in every dire¢tion, sniffing
here, digging there, until finally on locating a bird they would
bark for help.

Digging out an Uau is not the easy and pleasant task one might
imagine. Asa rule they make their burrows under the spreading
surface roots of trees—sometimes going back under them several
feet from the mouth of the burrow. Occasionally they select a
crevice in the broken rock or underneath a boulder that is over-
grown with roots and vines, so as to resemble, in its essential
features, the site just described. Rarely—almost never—are they
found nesting on the surface of the ground, even though it be
covered with vines and undergrowth. Having located the burrow
and opened it up for a distance, it is often then difficult to find the
bird, for the holes are usually natural ones that follow the roots in
various directions, and at most are only appropriated by the bird
and modified to its use. But once the hand touches the bird there
is no further doubt concerning its whereabouts, for on being dis-
turbed they bite with their hooked, pincer-like bills, and kick and
scratch with their feet most savagely. Once the bird is in hand
it is easily despatched by the native hunter in a neat and efficient
manner. ‘he forefinger is violently forced down the bird’s throat.
It is then slightly bent at the first joint so as to catch the heart
and lungs, which are given a slight twist and sharp pull, with the
result that the bird dies instantly, with scarcely a struggle.

One can with practice, imitate the Uau’s call very closely.
This ruse was continually resorted to by the natives. Their efforts

[140]

ee,

would occasionally be answered by some unwary bird, thus dis-
closing its whereabouts, but as a rule they failed to respond.
Earlier in the season, during the actual mating, the call is more
generally given and answered by the birds throughout the day, but
by the time of our visit the birds were mated and sitting together
in the burrows. On several occasions two birds were pulled from
the same burrow. Later on, I was informed, when the single
glossy white egg is laid, it is a common occurrence to find one or
the other parent birds sleeping outside the burrow, while its mate
sits on the nest within.

July is given as the time when the egg is laid. The young in
the downy stage, are always taken in late September and October.
October ro is the day usually selected by the natives as the most
favorable time for collecting the downy young. ‘These are com-
monly pulled from the holes by means of a stick which is split
at oneend. ‘The split end is twisted into the down of the bird
and in this manner it is easily pulled forth. But the adults must
be captured and dragged out by the hand. As has been said,
the young birds are especially prized as food. In former times
they were reserved for the chiefs alone, being tabu to the com-
mou people.

Asa result of the day’s expedition, twenty-one Uau were taken,
eighteen of which were made into skins. Compared with former
years, this was a very unsatisfactory bag. In June, 1906, the same
men, with the same dogs, and with much less effort, secured sixty-
three birds. ‘The cause in the decrease in numbers was not far to
seek. Along the trail, as we ascended Olokui, we found the re-
mains of three birds that had been killed and eaten by mongoose.
It was a common thing when following the dogs, to have them
lead us to deserted burrows, the occupants of which had been de-
voured but a few feet from their homes. In one hole we found a
female mongoose with a flourishing family of five little ones, that
had taken possession of an Uau burrow after its occupant had been
killed. From the foregoing data, when taken in connection with
the wide distribution of the mongoose in the group, it seems cer-
tain that the Uau is doomed to rapid extermination.

Turning to the series of eight males and twelve females, all
in the full adult plumage, I am impressed by the remarkable

uniformity of color and size exhibited by it. A table showing the
maximum, minimum and average measurements of the series is

The average length of both sexes is about 15.50. A June
female of its nearest relative, .7’strelata pheopygia Salvin, from
the Galapagos Ids., in the Museu:n’s collection, measures: wing

Galapagos, as given by Rothschild (Avifauna of Laysan, etc., p.
290), 1s ‘‘wing from 11.6 to 12.50, averaging from 11.8 to 12 inches,
tail 5.8 to 6.3 and 6.4, metatarsus about 1.4 to 1.5.’’

It will be noted that the Museum’s specimens from the Gala-
pagos, with the exception of the tail, falls well within the average,
as quoted from Rothschild. The specimen may, therefore, be taken
as a representative of that series. Since it is a June specimen, it
is specially useful in comparison with the Molokai series.

In comparison, it will be seen that in all maximum dimen-
sions, the Hawaiian birds fall safely below the minimum given for
the Galapagos series, but nowhere is this difference more notice-
able than in the size and form of the beak. This difference, though
marked, is difficult to describe, but it may be stated definitely that
in sanxdwichensis the bill is much more slender, the nail more
strongly deflected at the tip, and the nostrils thinner and less promi-
nent. These differences are constant throughout the Molokai
series. ‘The color characters are even more obscure. However,
the slaty black terminal bands on three or four of the shorter

[142]

Some Birds of Molokai. 53

auxiliaries forming a patch on the side of the body under the
wings in Galapagos specimens are entirely wanting in all Hawaiian
specimens in the Museum; even the immature bird from Hilo
beach. In sandwichensts the white frontal band is wider and the
black bases to the white feathers composing it do not reach to the
base of the beak, as in fhe@opygia. ‘The whole back and wings are
blackish slate, with the feathers of the mantle inconspicuously, if
at all, marked, with paler tips (not slate black with conspicuous
whitish terminals as in ph@opyg7a). ‘The outer pair of tail feathers,
viewed from above, vary somewhat, but they are always in both
adult and immature birds, strongly mottled with white on their
inner, and to some extent, on their outer webs.

I regard phe@opygia and sandwichensis as distinct, though
closely allied species with the latter possessing characters of color,
measurement and habitat sufficiently marked to distinguish it
from the former in all ages and both sexes. I, therefore, adopt
Ridgway’s name as published in the text of the Water Birds of
North America (vol. ii, p. 395, 1884) as the proper designation for
the Uau (not Uuau as sometimes erroneously given), or Hawaiian
Dark-rumped Petrel.

Puffinus newelli Henshaw.

Unfortunately, I did not secure a specimen of this rare bird,
though I had the pleasure of examining one that had been pre-
served by Mrs. Wilson. It had been collected some years before,
from one of the steep cliffs toward the summit of the mountain
between Pelekunu and Waikolu valleys. The description taken
from it accords exactly with a specimen in the Museum collection
from Kauai. ‘The bird is known on Molokai as Ao—the name
being an imitation of its noéturnal cry. Pelekunu natives in-
formed me that during the ‘‘bird season’’, early in October, the
adults and young can be collected in considerable numbers from
the cliffs. They were quite clear as to the distinguishing char-
acters between the Uau and the Ao; giving differences which an
unobservant person would have passed over. ‘Therefore, I have
every reason to have confidence in what they told me concerning
their habits. They assured me that some birds were seen, or
rather heard, throughout the year (?), but that they became plenti-

ful about the first of May. From that date on all through the
summer months, they would hear them each night call out ‘‘A-o’’,
as they left their burrows to fly out to sea. ‘They were commonly
found colonized in the steepest parts of the pali, 500 or 1000 feet
or more from the floor of the valley. The Uau asa rule, have
their colonies higher up, seldom less than 1500 feet above the sea.
Occasionally, however, both birds are found in the same colony—on
rare occasions in the same hole. The Wailau natives who accom-
panied me on the Uau hunt just described, verified these state-
ments. ‘They were at some loss to account for the absence of Ao
from among our catch of Uau, since last year, in June, they got
both species. I heard the call of the Ao in the two valleys men-
tioned several times, but am convinced that it is much the rarer
of the two birds.

Phaethon lepturus Lacep. & Daun.

From the cliffs at the heads of the principal valleys, in fine
weather, we can always see one, sometimes five or six, of the White-
tailed Tropic Bird or Koae, gracefully floating about the cliffs far
below. While no specimens were secured, I had no difficulty in
satisfying myself that only the white-tailed species frequent the
precipices there. As yet the bird is fairly common, being noted
on a number of occasions, at different places about the island.
However, it has already begun to suffer from the depredations of
the mongoose, which is known to be on the increase everywhere
on the island, especially in such localities as the Koae favors for
breeding places.

Fregata aquila Linn.

The Iwa was seen on two occasions a considerable distance
out at sea. Specimens are shot from time to time when they fly in
close to the beach.

Anas wyvilliana Sclater.

No specimens of the Hawaiian duck were seen, and I doubt
very much if there any now living in the island. Several persons
informed me that some years ago it was always to be seen in the
streams—frequenting the pools high up in the mountains. Lately

[144]

they have disappeared. Doubtless the few pairs that in the past
have found a congenial habitat along the streams at the Halawa
end of the island have been preyed upon by the mongoose.

Nycticorax nycticorax nezvius (Bodd).

On May 30 I shot an adult male Auku Kohili from a tree be-
side the Honouliwai stream well up into the mountains. The bird
is not common at the higher elevations—only two or three being
seen there. But towards dusk, on the beach, especially at Moanui
and Mapulehu, they were common flying from the valleys to fish
from the walls of the mullet ponds along the coast.

Mr. O. Tollefson’s son relates that while he was returning from
the mountains one day along the Honouliwai stream, he saw at
some distance ahead of him an Auku sitting on a rock in the
stream, evidently still-hunting for fish. As he was watching the
bird a mongoose came out of the shrubbery along the stream and
pounced on the solitary fisherman. ‘The bird and the animal en-
gaged in a desperate struggle, resulting in the death of the Auku
before the boy could interfere. Although he gave immediate
chase, the mongoose succeeded in dragging its prey from boulder
to boulder out of the stream and into a crevice in the rocky bank,
from which it was impossible to dislodge the animal.

Gallinula sandvicensis Streets.

This species is common on the island, being seen in the taro
ponds in Wailau, Pelekunu and Halawa valleys.

Fulica alai Peale.

I did not find the Alae keokeo, but am told that it is to be seen
on the mud flat at Palaau, a locality I was not able to visit.

Himantopus knudseni Stejn.

The Kukuluaeo or Hawaiian Stilt is a resident species at
Palaau where the young have been taken in June.

[145]

56 Director's Annual Report.

Lophortyx californica (Shaw).

The California Quail is common, though not abundant, on
Molokai, frequenting the open country on the western end of the
island. ‘The mother birds were being followed by their half-grown
young in May.

Phasianus torquatus Gmel.

The Ring-necked Pheasant is a well established introduced
species on Molokai.

Phasianus versicolor Vieill.

Like the last, the Japanese Pheasant is common on the island.
Both species keep to the open country or the edge of the forests,
seldom, if ever, entering the deeper woods.

Spilopelia chinensis Scop.

The Chinese Turtle Dove is occasionally seen in the deepest
native forests, though it is more commonly found nesting in the
iitroduced Algaroba (Prosopis) along the coast about Kaunakakai.
There is but little rice or grain of any kind raised in Molokai,
hence the dove does not find as congenial a habitat there as on
Oahu for example.

Asio accipitrinus sandwichensis (Blox.).

In the Director’s Report for 1904 (Oc. P. B. P. B: Mus., vol. 11,
p. 241) I published a note on the nesting habits of the Pueo. To
the data there given I am now able to add a third date for the
nesting period of the Hawaiian Owl. While moving my camp
into the Halawa headwater region, well back of Hipuapua falls, on
May 24, I found a nest of the Pueo, in a swaile which had formerly
been a large wild banana patch, three or four acres in extent.
My guide was in advance and stepped directly over the mother-
bird without noticing her. Fortunately, the bird did not take
flight, and I was able to catch her in my hand as she crouched on
the nest. ‘he nest contained one recently hatched young, and five

lustreless white eggs, all of which were well advanced in incubation.
[146]

Some Birds of Molokat. 57

The young bird was not more than a day old. It was covered
with very short, fine, creamy buff down, and looked very helpless
and comical. The nest itself was unpretentious in the extreme,
being simply a few dry spears of grass and a dozen feathers from
the parent’s breast, not enough, all told, to keep the eggs off the
wet boggy ground. Beside the nest was a half-eaten rat.

The adult, young and eggs were taken and left that night at
the camp. The following day, during my absence, a mongoose
found the eggs on top of a wood-pile shelter, where I had left them
‘temporarily, and destroyed them all. The parent-bird was in very
worn plumage, and measured: wing 11.90, tail 4.50, culmen 1.10,
tarsus 1.40. The young birds have now been taken from the nest
on November 20, 1901, March 6, 1905, and May 24, 1907. These
widely separated dates indicate that the Pueo nests at any time
that suits its convenience. It is more abundant in Molokai than
any other island of the group I have visited. In favorable local1-
ties it is to be seen each evening, sometimes as many as halfa
dozen at a time, flying about in search of food.

Alauda arvensis Linn.

The Skylark is now common on the grass lands of the island.
Frequently as many as six or eight birds are in sight at a time as
one rides or walks through the most favorable localities. The
mongoose seems not to have interfered seriously with the nidifica-
tion of this introduced songster, owing, no doubt, to the fact that
it nests in the open field far away from any cover that would har-
bor this avowed enemy of all ground nesting birds.

Acridotheres tristis (Linn.).

The Mina is thought to be less numerous than in former years.
If true, it may be due to the dying out of the lantana on the islands,
since it is known to feed voraciously on the berries of this plant.
Birds were seen about our camp at Kamoku, always keeping to the
open fringing woods. At Halawa, however, they were seen further
into the interior, but at no great elevation. Nowhere were they
observed in conflict with the native birds. ‘They are indeed so

seldom seen in any numbers in the regions frequented by our native
birds, that they can hardly be said to seriously affect the decrease
or disappearance of the Hawalian avifauna.

Carpodacus mexicanus obscurus McCall.

The House Finch or ‘‘Rice Bird’’ is common on Molokai.
A nest—one of a number seen

was taken from an Ohia tree grow-
ing near Kamoku cabin at about 4000 feet elevation. It had been
deserted, owing to the heavy late rains. ‘The seeds in the grass,
of which it was composed, had sprouted, some of the sprouts being
two inches long, giving the structure the appearance of a ball of
pale green moss.

Munia nisoria (Temm.).

)

The ‘‘Chinese Sparrow’’ was occasionally met with in small
flocks on the lower levels about the island.

Drepanorhamphus funereus (Newton).

The Hoa, or ‘‘Oo-nuku-umu’’ as Perkins calls it, is exceed-
ingly rare, so rare, indeed, that seven weeks of continuous field
work in the forests of Molokai, its only habitat, were necessary
before seeing or hearing, let alone securing a single specimen.
The species was brought to our knowledge by Mr. Perkins, who
first secured specimens in the forests at the head of Pelekunu
valley in 1893. Judging by the number of specimens in the Bishop
Museum, which received one-third of all the specimens he col-
lected, not more than six birds were secured by him. ‘The follow-
ing year Mr. Theodore Meyer, a resident of Molokai, secured six
specimens from the same locality, in six months of more or less
continuous collecting. He believed the species to be extinct, as
neither he nor any of his friends from then until now had been able
to find the bird in any locality.

In March and April of the present year, Mr. George Munro
spent four weeks in the type locality, with especial information as
to its habits and calls, furnished him by Mr. Perkins. As Mr.
Munro has had considerable experience in collecting Hawaiian

[148 |

Some Birds of Molokat. 59

birds, having accompanied Mr. Palmer on his expedition through
the group, the fact that he did not find the Hoa added great
weight to Mr. Meyer’s opinion that since 1894 the bird had be-
come extinct.

After spending three weeks in the woods about Pelekunu,
having had the advantage of Mr. Perkins’ notes, and Mr. Munro’s
experience, I left the Kamoku camp satisfied that there was
searcely a hope of finding even a chance specimen in that section.
It seemed certain too, that unless the birds could be found in some
one of two or three similar localities on the island, there could be
but little doubt but that it had vanished from the Hawaiian forests
forever. During the next ten days especially devoted toa search for
the Hoa and the Oo, in the Halawa mountains—in a section prob-
ably never before hunted over, or perhaps never even visited by
white men—under forest and climatic conditions suited to both
species, I was unable to locate either of them, and quit the region
thoroughly discouraged and disheartened.

The next attempt was made at Moanuiranch. Since it was
here, and here only, that I secured specimens, a fuller account of
the experiences of this part of the expedition will be of interest,
as showing some of the difficulties attending the work in these
mountains, as well as the character of the country in which a few
Hoa still survive. After settling my camp at the Moanui moun-
tain house on the morning of May 30, I set off alone up Honoulu-
wai valley, that being regarded by Mr. Tollefson and his men at
the ranch, as probably the most feasible way of getting back into
the mountains. No one, to their knowledge, had reached the head
of the stream; in fact, the mountainous part of the ranch was
terra incognita to the owner of the ranch, and everyone else, for
its back boundaries had never been surveyed, or even visited.
By picking my way over the boulders in the bed of the stream and
working around the small waterfalls, I made fairly rapid progress
until late in the afternoon, when I came ona small waterfall where
the stream poured over a steep ledge, twenty-five feet or more in
height. On either side of the stream the solid rock ran up almost
perpendicularly for three or four hundred feet. The only way to
proceed seemed either to turn back and leave the stream entirely, or
to scale the falls itself. Judging by the character of the country and
similar experiences elsewhere, it seemed probable that the stream

[149]

60 Director's Annual Report.

from this point on would be a series of more or less impassable
waterfalls. Desiring to satisfy myself on this important point be-
fore returning for the day, I stripped off all my wearing apparel,
save a stiff-brimmed rain hat, swam across the pool at the foot of
the falls, and started to pick my way up the slippery rock over
which the water poured. When three-fourths of the way up, my
hands and feet suddenly slipped from under me. Coming down
violently on my arm and side, and falling in such a way as to
strike my head a stunning blow on a projecting rock, I rolled back
into the pool of cold mountain water in an almost helpless con-
dition. Fortunately, I was not completely stunned by the blow on
my head, owing to the protectton afforded by the stiff brim of my
hat. I was severely bruised as it was, but the shock of dropping
backward into the pool revived me sufficiently to enable me to
escape drowning. However, it took some time after I had pulled
niyself out of the water, to regain my strength. The mishap was
a sufficient adventure for the day, and an experience that will
never be forgotten.

After a day or so of rest, I had sufficiently recovered from my
injuries to resume the quest. On inquiry, a native boy was found,
who felt sure he had been beyond the falls where my unpleasant
mishap had occurred. He was accordingly engaged as guide.
By nine in the morning, we had arrived at the place where I had
fallen into the pool. Without further delay my boy went two or
three hundred yards down the stream and began to pick his way
with great caution up along the side of the cliff on the Moanui
side of the valley. After great exertion, and with much difficulty,
in the time of which my guide got a fall which lamed him con-
siderably, we at last got above the falls, and down into the stream
again. Within ten minutes of the first falls, we found a second
one that had been completely hidden from sight and sound by the
first one encountered. It was seventy-five feet high, and poured
over the ledge at a place that completely blocked the way, making
further progress along the watercourse quite impossible. We could
now hear the roar of another and still larger falls, only a little
way on. ‘The only thing remaining for us to do was to turn back
and work our way up the Moanui side of the valley. This was
exceedingly difficult to do. After five hours of the most laborious
climbing, we at last, by two o’clock, made the crest of the ridge

[150]

and could look down into the valley below. From where we stood
one could have thrown a stone into the stream we had left, so
nearly vertical was the rock wall we had scaled. From this point
we kept on the ridge, cutting our trail a considerable distance into
the mountains before night came on. On our return to camp late
that night, we abandoned the stream entirely and opened a new
trail down the main ridge.

Owing to the injuries resulting from his fall, my boy was unfit
for duty the following day. In his stead an old, well informed
mountain-going native was engaged. By an early hour we were
at the farthest point reached the day before. For six hours, in
the rain and fog, through a tangle of ieie and uhi (Smilax) vines,
over, through, and under the moss-covered trees and roots, we
forced our way still further up the ridge into the interior. It was
the most uncomfortable sort of weather, and taken altogether it
was exceedingly disagreeable, disheartening work. All day long
we had not seen a single bird that could not have been collected
in an hour’s time by patiently waiting under any one of the flower-
ing ohia trees we had passed by in the early morning on our way
up the trail.

In the middle of the afternoon, I took the trail knife to give
the old guide a chance to rest, for he had been chopping on the
path since early morning. We were working in a particularly
dense and unpromising jungle of ieie, when I heard a clear, gentle,
even, inquiringly whistled ‘‘H-o-a’’ called by some bird not more
than fifty yards away. It was a moment of intense excitement.
There was little doubt in my mind but that the note was that of
the bird I had so long sought. Making signs to the native to
hurry to me with the gun, I began to imitate the whistle call as
best I could. To my delight the curious black bird with the won-
derfully curved bill, the object of my seeking, flew down and lit in
a tree within ten feet of me! It was evident that curiosity aroused
by my chopping had brought the bird to the spot to investigate.

Actively hopping and flitting from limb to limb, scarcely
stopping a second, eyeing me sharply all the while, it persisted in
keeping so close to me that I could not with safety fire even my
auxiliary barrel. Yet the restlessness of the bird made it appar-
rent that I must fire soon or lose my chance, for it the bird got
fifty feet from me in the tangle of trees and vines on the side of the

pace

ridge, it would, in all probability be gone from sight and forever.
I pulled the trigger and, to my consternation my gun missed fire.
It was after all little wonder that gun and ammunition failed me,
for both had been soaking wet for three days. The next few sec-
onds were moments of painful indecision. ‘To break and reload
my gun would surely frighten the bird; to use the heavy charge
in the left barrel was almost criminal, but my only recourse. With-
out further delay I availed myself of the first opportunity when the
bird was screened by limbs and fired. The feathers flew: my first
Black Mamo had been shot. Shot, but not found. ‘‘A bird in
the hand’’ in the Hawaiian forests, is worth several in the bush,
especially the bush in Molokai. ‘Though the bird was not more
than twenty-five feet from me when I fired, and my man and I both
saw it start to fall, we searched for it in vain for three-quarters of
an hour. We looked carefully under the vines and ferns, among
the undergrowth in the trees, in fact everywhere for it, even sein-
ing a pool of water that had collected in the rocks a little farther
below, yet not a sign of the coveted Hoa could we find. I had
almost given up all hope of finding it, and began to save the few
scattered feathers lying about, feeling that my claim to having
found the rare bird would have to rest on such evidence as they
could furnish.

As the search grew more hopeless, my native, who had assured
me in the morning that he had heard of the Hoa, but had never
seen such a bird as I described it to be, now became more earnest,
as he declared to me that the bird just shot was not the Oo—the
only other black bird known to him. As he was able to give the
points wherein it differed from that now almost equally rare spe-
cies, I felt his remarks were valuable as a convincing commentary
on the scarcity of this bird. Here was a native hunter, familiar
with the teachings of his fathers, whose knowledge of the forest
had been gained almost half a century before, who knew not only
the native names and uses of almost every plant we saw, but the
names and habits of all the native birds, save this one, declaring
it to be unknown to him. Yet we who understand something of
Nature’s processes, know that the Hoa has been for ages inhabiting
these mountains, not six miles distant from, and in sight of the place
where this man was born, and where he had lived all his life.

[152]

Some Birds of Molokat. 63

But to return to the search. As a last resort, I climbed up
into the tree intending to drop a stone from the place the shot
struck the limb the bird had been sitting on, in the hope of locating
more acurately the spot where it should have struck the ground.
To my joy I found the mangled remains hanging in the tree ina
thick bunch of leaves, six feet or more beyond where it had been
sitting. It was, as I feared, badly mutilated. However, it was
made into a very fair cabinet skin.

Feeling that where one bird had been found others were likely
to be, and being elated at the success of the day, I altered my
plans so as to extend my stay in the locality. Accordingly, on the
third of June, with my guide I packed my range tent and outfit
into the mountains and established a new camp in the jungle, at
the head of Waialua valley. The country here was so steep and
rugged that it was difficult to find a place seven feet square that
would do to pitch a tent on. I need hardly add that it rained con-
tinuously. ‘The trail was continued along the ridge between Wai-
alua and Honouliwai streams. Early in the afternoon I dismissed
my native and continued on the trail alone. I had covered no
great distance when under circumstances similar to those already
described, I heard the call note ‘‘Hoa’’ again, this time a hundred
yards or so in front of me. My best efforts at imitating it seemed
to have no effect. I whistled and called and hoped. At first the
bird answered my calls, then it failed to respond. I continued
whistling until it seemed certain that it must have gone off in
some direction, when, without reason or warning, my second Hoa
flew and lit in a Kopiko tree, not fifty feet away and began to
preen and spread its wings. Catching sight of me it began to
work off through the woods. I fired, and this time had no difficulty
in picking up a perfect adult male specimen. ‘Though I stayed in
in the vicinity for more than an hour nothing was seen or heard
of its mate.

The following day found me early in the field. Though there
was a steady downpour of cold rain I worked on until three o’clock.
Not meeting with anything to encourage me, I climbed up into a
tree preparatory to taking a last survey of the country, if there
should come a rift in the dense fog clouds. Presently I caught a
note entirely different from any I had yet heard. It wasa rollicking

[153]

64 Director's Annual Report.

whistle of five or six clear notes, which I was only partially able
to reproduce. The bird, however, came nearer and finally ht in
the thick branches of a tree fifty feet or sobelow me. In my haste
to get down out of the tree I was in, some small limbs gave way,
and I came clattering down quite a distance before I was able to
regain my footing. That the disturbance had frightened the Hoa
I felt quite certain, and was therefore agreeably surprised to find
that through it all it had not moved from the tree where it had
first lit. It seemed to be willing to be studied, an opportunity for
which I was exceedingly grateful.

This bird, as well as the two former specimens, confined its
range to the undergrowth, several times coming down to within
three or four feet of the ground. At no time did it make a long
flight or alight on the top of the trees. As it was raining all the
while the bird was especially active in preening and shaking its
feathers. ‘The trees and vines were everywhere covered with thick
wet moss, and although the bird hopped about from branch to
branch, carefully inspecting each limb, I did not see it catch any
insects, or even probe into the moss. Hopping from tree to tree,
it worked its way around the head of the little side valley, up
which it had come in answer to my call, to where a large purple-
flowered lobelia was in profuse blossom, and began to feed. The
ease and grace with which the feat was acomplished was indeed
interesting, and left no doubt in my mind as to one of the probable
causes of the remarkable development of the tongue and bill.
The tongue was inserted with great precision, up to the nostrils,
in the flower, while the bird balanced itself on the branches, as-
suming almost every imaginable attitude in its operations. In all
three of the birds secured, the crown was smeared with the sticky
purplish white pollen of this lobelia. I had a preconceived idea
that the bird would also feed on the flowers of the wild banana.
This conjecture I was not able to prove or disprove by my ob-
servations, further than that in each case no bananas were to be
seen in the valleys below or anywhere in the vicinity where the
birds were secured.

The third specimen, like the two preceding it proved to be a
male, in perfect plumage. The bodies of the last two and the
stomach of the first one—its body being badly mangled— are pre-

The chord of the largest of the curved tubular flowers of the
lobelia on which the birds were feeding, is over two inches in
length. After repeated inquiry among the oldest and best informed
natives on the island, I was unable to find one who knew or had
ever heard of the Black Mamo under the native name ‘‘Oo-nuku-

umu. I did, however, find a few who knew of or identified the
bird under the name Hoa.

Vestiaria coccinea Forster.

A series of ten carefully selected birds and three nests of the
liwi were secured, which in themselves form a valuable set.
Taken in connection with the Museum’s long series they assume
especial interest, making it possible, in another connection, to dis-
cuss intelligently from specimens in hand, some of the interesting
problems connected with the evolution and development of the
species.

Next to the Apapane and Amakihi, the Iiwi is the species
most commonly met with on Molokai. They generally frequent
the Ohia forests, but occasionally they will extend their range
down, in certain seasons and under favorable conditions, as in
Wailau and Pelekunu valleys, so as to reach the seashore. ‘They
are strong flyers, often mounting high in the air. In small loose
flocks they will thus fly from,one valley to another. ‘Their flight
over the tallest forest trees can be heard and easily distinguished,
owing to the whirring noise of their wings, which is supposed to be
produced by the peculiar truncated form of the primaries. Other
species of the family, as the A/7matione, having the same shaped
primaries produce a similar though less marked whirring sound.

On June 10, while collecting on Wailau pali, I saw a parent
bird in the brilliant plumage of the adult, feeding an immature

young (Mus. No. 4626). ‘The young bird was sucking the nectar
from the Ohia flowers when the parent bird lit beside it. At this
the young bird opened its beak to receive the food brought by its
parent. The old bird flew away, only to return shortly to repeat
the feeding operation. During the time intervening between the
attentions of the parent, both old and young birds flew about and
fed together. On examining the young bird’s crop, several green
looper worms were found.

Of the three well identified nests secured, the best specimen
was one taken on June 4 from fifteen feet up ina Kawau (4y70n7a)
tree, growing on the crest of the ridge well toward the top of Puu
Ohelo Mountain. Although it was unoccupied it had every appear-
ance of having been used in rearing a brood. Scarlet feathers
from the breast of the parent bird found in the nest left no doubt
of its identity, while from the tree the nest was in I shot a very
young Tiwi, that presumably had but recently left the nest near by.

The nest (Mus. No. 4699) is mounted on a horizontal fork,
and externally is 4.50 inches across by 2.75 inches deep. The
bowl is 2.50 inches in diameter by 1.50 deep. Externally the
structure is composed of the moss so common on the trees in the
higher altitudes. Into this has been worked a few sticks and some
fibre from the dead leaves of the Ieie vine. ‘The inner lining is
made almost entirely of the black hair-like fibres of dead moss.
Generally speaking it is a very neat and compact structure.

The second nest (Mus. No. 4701) does not differ much from
the one just described. In size it is a trifle larger, and was located
in a terminal vertical fork of an Ohia tree. ‘The material, especially
the moss, is coarser than in the nest described.

The third nest (Mus. No. 4700) was not quite completed when
collected on May 25 from the thick forests at Halawa. Like the
last, it was placed in an Ohia ten feet or more from the ground.
Wanting the lining, as it does, it might be mistaken as the com-
pleted nest of some other species as the Ieie fibres used in its con-
struction make a very creditable lining. But a close examination
of the size, shape and material used, so far as completed, shows it
to be substantially the same as the first described. However, the
moss is of a different species and a more liberal use is made of
small twigs in the foundation, while as just said, Ieie leaf fibre
enters extensively into the secondary lining. Only a few of the

blackish moss stem fibres mentioned above, have been put in place,
while two or three small wisps of pulu fibre have been woven into
the brim. ‘The eggs of the liwi are as yet undescribed.

Palmeria dolei (Wilson).

I was unfortunate in not securing this species, though five
individuals were seen in one flock at one time, and three at an-
other, flying out over the pali at the head of Pelekunu valley.
It was not seen or heard elsewhere. Mr. Munro, who immediately
preceded me in the same woods, did not see the species at all dur-
ing his month’s work about Puualu Mountain. We therefore feel
assured that though the bird is still to be had on Molokai, it is by
no means as abundant as one might conclude from reading Mr.
Perkins’ account, published some years ago, where he records that
he ‘‘assembled a flock of no less than nine adult birds at the same
time in one small Ohia tree.’’

Himatione sanguinea (Gmel.).

The Apapane is the most abundant species on Molokai. A short
series was taken for comparison with the Museum’s material, which
has been collected at the same season on the other islands of the
group. ‘The song and general habits have already been fully re-
corded elsewhere. However, certain observations concerning the
mating performance seem to be new. During the early part of our
stay the Apapane were in the height of the mating season. The
song of both sexes was frequent and varied. Quarrels between
the contesting males were of common occurrence, and were often
apparently extended into feuds. During the excitement of the
mating period either sex is easily decoyed by imitating the notes
of the opposite sex. The love dance described elsewhere (Oc. P.
B. P. B. Mus., vol: i, no. 2, p. 43) in the series of notes was re-
peatedly witnessed. In addition to the fluttering dance there
described, on one occasion I saw it carried to the extent of the
male bird affectionately caressing its mate with the beak. The
whole performance lasted several minutes.

The high palis of the island furnished an excellent opportu-
nity to observe the Apapane in sustained flight. Flocks of seven

or eight or ten will, not infrequently, fly from the forests at the
edge of these precipices, thousands of feet above the valley below,
and with little concern, steer a course that will take them ina
direct line as far as the eye can followthem. At nightfall they are
to be seen returning from their feeding grounds lower down on the
mountains or in the valleys flying swiftly and directly in the higher
altitudes to roost. This daily migration over open land or from
place to place is a very strongly marked chara¢teristic of this bird.

A number of nests—but unfortunately no eggs—were secured.
Iam convinced that the nesting season cannot be well defined.
In substantiation of this opinion, I find that in the series of skins
collected, two are immature, while perhaps five times that number
of brownish-colored young were noted among the hundreds of
adults seen at close range. ‘This fact, coupled with the mating
performances and the enlarged testes and ovaries examined, would
indicate that on this island, at least, an occasional late brood is
reared.

The series of eight nests do not vary in material or location
from those elsewhere described, to a degree sufficient to warrant
their redescription. However, a deserted nest (Mus. No. 4683)
taken from twenty feet up in a moss-covered Ohia tree which was
growing in the heart of the Puualu forest, 1s somewhat extraordi-
nary in that it has returned to the original elements of which it
was composed zz s7fu, leaving a replica of itself in living green
moss. ‘The structure is of some years standing evidently. Old
enough at least, so that the moss and sticks of which it was com-
posed have had time to almost completely disintegrate. That
portion which remains has, in the meantime, become completely
covered with living moss, so that the shape and general appear-
ance of the nest is retained with just enough of the old structure
remaining to account for its form and history.

Chlorodrepanis kalaana (Wilson).

Without here entering into a discussion of the very minute
characters that have been used to separate this species from the
very closely allied forms from Maui, Kauai and Oahu, it will be
sufficient to say that the series of seventeen birds secured on Molo-
kai, confirm rather than disprove the conclusions formerly arrived

at—namely: that £a/aana has been separated as a species on char-
acters that are of doubtful sub-specific value. Was it not for the
definite geographical factor which enters in for consideration, the
form would hardly have impressed the original describer as being
worthy of designation as a sub-species.

The Amakihi is the second species in abundance on the island,
and was met with throughout the forested districts generally, often
coming well down to the coast line on the weather side of the
island, where conditions are favorable. ‘The species is sociable by
nature, usually feeding in small companies or at least, never
singly. Their call note is a fine clearly whistled ‘‘Tse-et.’’ This
is usually given when for any reason an individual becomes de-
tached from the flock or separated by any distance from its mate.
The call note, as with most all the mountain birds, is given more
frequently during foggy, cloudy weather, for obvious reasons.
‘They are sure to be found where sunny slopes covered with open
woods are interspersed with plenty of bushes and low shrubs.
In such situations, if food is abundant, they become fairly estab-
lished in their habits, often feeding over the same range a number
of times each day. ‘Their song on such occasions is usually fre-
quent and identical, I believe, for both sexes. It consists simply
of a repetition of ‘‘’I's—chee—chee—chee—chee—chee-chee’’, trilled
without variation, in a surprisingly loud and penetrating voice,
which always impresses one as being forced and metallic in quality.

Though generally favoring woods of the character described,
they are to be met with in all sorts of places. I have found them
—usually in isolated pairs, it is true—in the darkest and wettest
parts of the forests, where flowers were almost wholly wanting.
In such places they were feeding on the limbs and leaves of the
trees high over head. At other times, they are plentiful on the
low bushes growing on the sharp, and more or less dry and barren
ridges. Or again, they will be met with on the outskirts of the
forest feeding on the flowers and leaves of whatever species of tree
or shrub was at hand, not even shunning the introduced species,
as Lantana and Guava, which crowd well into the edge of the for-
ests in some places. In their feeding, however, there is a prefer-
ence shown for the Ohia both in and out of flower. lLobelias,
especially the flowers, were seldom visited. But the white bloom,

as well as the leaves, of the Sczvola, were always carefully in-
spected by them.

The nests of this species, of which three fine specimens were
collected, are so similar z7/er se as to be easily distinguished from
nests of the other species on the island. Still they differ consider-
ably, especially in the materials used, from others of the same genus
now inthe Museum collection. The most definitely identified, and
best constructed nest (Mus. No. 4696) is one taken May 27, about
half way down the Pelekunu pali.. It was built in a stunted Ohia
tree beside the trail and was poorly, if at all, concealed. It was
placed on a horizontal limb fifteen feet from the ground, which
brought it on a level with the path on the crest of the ridge. Its
external dimensions are 5.00 inches across by 2.25 inches in depth.
The bowl is 2.25 inches across by 1.25 inches in depth. Exter-
nally, the structure is loosely woven from green moss. Into this
as a secondary lining, is worked some brown fibrous material of
the color of pulu but resembling closely the soft inner bark of the
Ohia. ‘The lining proper is a generous one, composed entirely of
the fibre of the dead leaves of the Ieie. The nest is a well woven
compact structure. When first taken it was strongly scented by
the peculiar drepanine odor, a trace of which still clings to it.
Though no eggs were in the nest the parent bird was on when it
was discovered.

A second nest, taken at Halawa May 24, is a sort of conces-
sion to civilization, being placed in the upright fork of a Lantana
bush that was growing among the Ohia trees, a considerable dis-
tance into the forest. It is substantially the same as the one just
described though not of as high order of workmanship.

Oreomystis flammea (Wilson).

Of this species an excellent select series was collected which
shows the various stages through which the birds of both sexes go
before attaining their adult plumage. In the field the flame-red
males are in a decided minority, occurring in the ratio of about
one in nine. But in my series of study specimens, they are in the
ratio of one to three. This is owing to the tendency in the field
to take the bright colored bird, and not (as might erroneously be
concluded) because they are easier to obtain than the females or

[164 |

/
immature. The fully adult male at this season is usually accom-
panied by the female and from two to four parti-colored immature
birds of both sexes. Occasionally young birds that have assumed
more than three-fourths of the red plumage of the adult will be
found in such companies. On the other hand one is rather more
apt to find pairs mated and settled before the male has assumed
one-third of the conspicuous red plumage to which he is heir.

In habits the Kakawahia resembles the species of the genus
to which it belongs, and from which it differs in color so widely.
They prefer to feed over the trunks and branches of the trees.
Here they secure the insects that make up almost the whole of
their diet. However, they will be seen in the tops of the tallest
trees, but apparently paying little or no attention to their flowers.
In short, they are persistent and sturdy entomologists, always
active and alert, but strange to say, they seldom, if ever, take in-
sects on the wing. At intervals moths are taken of such size they
are compelled to hold them under their feet and pull them to pieces
so as to devour them piecemeal, much after the fashion of the com-
mon chickadee.

When they have once settled on a home in the forest they at
once set about to establish their sphere of influence, over which
they rule, so far as possible, to the exclusion of every trespasser.
On the approach of some intruder, as a man ora dog, they will
both set up a scolding ‘‘Chirk, chirk’’, that is no uncertain sound
to one familiar with birds’ voices and ways. If the alarm chirk is
continued long enough, the nearest neighbors are rarely so far
away that they will not come in to satisfy their natural curiosity
and add the weight of their presence and voice to the protest.

The Kakawahia, like his cousins, is full of curiosity. The
sound of one making one’s way through the woods is sure to at-
tract the little resident to the scene, when uttering their never-
varied ‘‘chirk’’, they will come close enough to the person to take
in every detail of his makeup in wide-eyed inquisitiveness. Once
satisfied that their show of authority has no intimidating effect,
they will resume their feeding close to the observer. One can thus
study their movements at close range. I have often watched them
under the most favorable circumstances, for an hour or more at a
time, but have never seen them paying the slightest attention to
the nectar-bearing flowers about them. Occasionally they go down

[165]

76 Director's Annual Report.

in the shrubs to within a foot or so of the ground, and it is prob-
able that on rare occasions they do alight on the ground, although
I have never seen them do so.

A good series of fairly well identified nests was taken, but the
eggs were not secured and remain as yet unknown. ‘The best
specimen (Mus. No. 4691) was secured in the middle of the Halawa
forest on May 27. I had climbed into an Ohia tree to take a sur-
vey of the surrounding country, when my attention was attracted
by the disturbance being made by a fine red male Kakawahia, ac-
companied by its mate and three immature birds. They came up
close to me and were loud and determined in their ‘‘chirks’’. Look-
ing about for the cause, I found it in the shape of a nest but a few
feet from me. It appeared to be just completed. It is made up of
moss neatly woven together, and measures 4.00 inches in diameter
by 2.75 inches deep. ‘The interior is lined with the blackish root-
like stems of dead moss and a few fibres from disintegrated Ieie
leaves. The bowl is just over 2.00 inches across by 1.50 inches
deep. A horizontal fork of an Ohia limb some fifteen feet from
the ground has been used as the site.

I conclude that the young birds following the adults were from
a late brood of the year before, and doubtless would themselves
not breed until the following fall or spring; though one of the
young was well advanced in assuming the plumage of the adult.

The second nest (Mus. No. 4694) was also taken from an
Ohia tree. It was collected at Mapulehu June 9g, and is in every
way similar to No. 4691, except that it was placed in an upright
crotch.

A third nest, in an unfinished condition, was taken on Kilo-
hana in the wet forest on April 30. The old bird was seen carrying
the moss of which the exterior is composed. ‘The site was an up-
right fork of a small Kawau tree about eight feet from the ground.

Psittirostra psittacea (Gmel.).

It is my intention in a separate paper to discuss at some length
the Museum’s choice series of almost a hundred skins of the Ou
that have been collected on the large islands of the group. It is
felt that certain questions that have been raised concerning this
interesting genus can then be cleared up. For the present it is

[ 166 |

(169°) “VHNNWVIA SILSANOH AO (t6907 )

78 Director's Annual Report.

sufficient to say that sixteen skins of both sexes, adult and imma-
ture, were secured on Molokai during April, May and June.

The Ou was met with at all the stations visited in the forest
area, in a ratio of about one to twenty, as compared with the Ama-
kihi. Hence it is not, relatively speaking, the abundant species
its size and song would seem to make it, especially when compared
with the much smaller and more obscurely colored Chlorvodrepanis.

The Halawa forest makes an ideal home for this Ieie-loving
bird, since that region, as has elsewhere been mentioned, is a per-
fect tangle of this vine. Along the streams patches of wild banana
are also common, while Olona ( 7ouchardia), another food plant of
the species, is met with everywhere in suitable places. As Ieie
has apparently had much to do in the evolution of its peculiar beak,
the Ou commonly frequents the forests where it is most abundant.
It is, nevertheless, always to be found in the more dense Ohia for-
ests, even though the amount of Ieie is small, or wanting entirely.
In the heavily wooded localities, it feeds through the tops of the
trees, seldom coming near the ground. At such times there are
usually several birds in the locality scattered about in scout forma-
tion. ‘They seem rarely to alight together in the same tree, yet
they always keep within easy call of each other. The inquiringly
whistled call note ‘‘Psweet’’ is frequently given, and answered by
birds thus deployed, especially during cloudy weather. If the call
is imitated the bird will readily respond a number of times in suc-
cession, often cautiously approaching the observer to satisfy its
curiosity. The young birds are much easier decoyed in this way
than are the more experienced adults. It is not uncommon to
have the green inconspicuously colored birds answer one from a
tree near at hand, several minutes before its whereabouts can be
determined. A number of times during drenching rains, I have
heard the call note plaintively given, and after protracted search
have found the bird standing motionless in a very dejected attitude,
huddled close against a tree trunk, or stowed away in a thick
bunch of leaves for shelter.

Of its musical powers much has been written, as it has been
quite commonly given first place among the singing Drepanididez.
The song—which, by the way, it rarely gives in its entirety—is
especially sweet and pleasing, resembling in many respects that of
the canary. Perhaps the favorite place for delivering its song is

[168 ]

Some Birds of Molokat. 79

from the topmost branch of some dead Ohia tree, standing in an
opening in the dense surrounding forest. From such a station it
will often sing intermittently for an hour or more. It is liable at
any time to disappear in the woods, only to return presently to
take up its song again.

The adult male is, by reason of its golden yellow head, a con-
spicuous bird, but with the head has been supplied a large amount
of caution which results in it being much rarer in collections than
would otherwise be the case. The female and the immature of
both sexes are inconspicuously colored, and for that reason are
often passed by the collector unobserved. As is so often the case,
owing to the curiosity and want of fear in the young, more imma-
ture than adult birds are always collected.

The flight of the Ou is rapid, heavy and direct. During their
more extended flights, as from one ridge to another, they are more
often than otherwise in small flocks. Birds of both sexes answer
a decoy whistle frequently, coming within easy range of one, eye-
ing the intruder narrowly all the while. A sudden motion, or an
unusual noise will invariably put the bird to flight, when they will
dart off without further ado, not infrequently flying half a mile or
more in a direct line. Like the Apapane, I have observed the Ou
making long-sustained flights from the palis of the large valleys,
that carried them readily from one valley to another. At such
times they rarely, if ever, soar or circle about, but set off directly
for the fresher fields with a show of knowledge and determination
that makes them while on the wing, easily distinguished from their
neighbors, as far as they can be seen.

80 Director's Annual Report.

It is remarkable that the nesting habits of this bird, which has
in times past been common on all the islands of the group and has
been so generally collected and studied, should as yet remain en-
tirely unknown.

Moho bishopi (Roths.).

After two months in the forest of the island, I have no hesi-
tancy in pronouncing the Bishop Ooa very rare bird. During that
time not a specimen was secured, nor was I able to hear so much
as a sound that could be even attributed to it. This is the more
remarkable since we know that its characteristic call can be heard
in the forests, especially in the more favorable districts—as at the
heads of the great valleys mentioned—for a half mile or more.

My disappointment at not securing this species was most keen.
However, as the Museum received but three imperfect specimens
as its third share of the colle¢tion made by Mr. Perkins, I feel
sure the species was at that time (September and August, 1893) by
no means common. Since the above date it has certainly very ap-
preciably decreased in numbers, as Mr. Munro and I are ready to
testify. She requirements of the Museum’s exhibition and study
series, no less than my desire to see and study the bird alive, nerved
me to put forth every effort to discover its whereabouts. No pains
were spared in making a thorough examination of every locality
suited to its habits, as well as every place where it had been merely
reported as having been seen in recent times. Asa result, the
wildest and most difficult parts of the island forests were visited,
not once, but repeatedly. On several occasions a night or more
was spent, sleeping in the open, in the centre of promising locali-
ties not to be reached otherwise, in the hope of hearing, if possi-
ble, the call of the Oo either in the late afternoon or early morning.
Feeding grounds where the bird was reported to have been seen
‘in small flocks’? a few months before, were revisited, usually
accompanied by the persons reporting the observation, with the
uniformly discouraging result. Virgin forest, unfrequented by
man or beast, was traversed to no avail. Many hours were spent
in silently watching and listening in places, where according to
the oldest natives and even those of the present generation, birds
were formerly to be met with, almost always on even the most
casual day’s ramble in the woods. Its feeding grounds among the

[170]

Ohia, the bananas and the lobelias were regularly visited. The
deep gloomy woods, the bright forested ridges, the secluded valleys
were explored from end to end of its habitat, all without seeing so
much as a single sign of the bird to encourage one to further effort.

Nevertheless, since the present species, as well as its cousins
on Kauai and Hawaii are known to be gregarious and nomadic at
certain seasons, it may be that such habits account for its occa-
sional appearance, and more frequent complete disappearance in
certain sections. However that may be, of the fact that the Oo is
a rare—indeed an exceedingly rare bird, there seems little ques-
tion. As to its being already extinct, I am not yet convinced, but
that it is very near the verge of extermination, cannot longer be
doubted by any one.

When studying the material preparatory to writing my Key
to the Hawaiian Birds, in 1899, I was convinced that the Molokai
form would prove distinct from the Lanai form. Since then as the
Museum’s series of specimens from the two islands has increased,
evidence has accumulated all tending to substantiate the premise
there expressed (Memoir B. P. Bishop Museum, vol. i, p. 311) until
now, with the additional series of twenty carefully sexed birds in
the collection just made, there is no reason for hesitating longer
in separating these two closely allied forms. ‘This I have done,
naming the Molokai Olomao in memory of my wife.

That the species from the two islands are very similar is not
surprising, since the islands are only a few miles apart. Yet the
conclusion which has been generally accepted, namely, that the
birds from both islands cross the channel with sufficient frequency
and regularity to keep the individuals of both habitats uniform,
receives a serious rebuttal when we consider that neither Lanai
nor Molokai has, to our knowledge, sent out settlers to the nearby
and larger islands of Maui and Oahu, in sufficient numbers, if at
all, to in the least way prevent the genus from disappearing en-
tirely from the last mentioned islands, while they have continued
to remain common on both Lanaiand Molokai. A sufficient cause
for their not throwing out stragglers or regular settlers is perfectly
apparent when a close study of the genus is made in the field.

As is well known, all the species of Ph@ornis are highly sylvan,
rarely leaving the deeper woods. Or, if occasionally inhabiting the
more open parts of the woods, they are always of settled habits,

[rye]

Some Birds of Molokat. 83

frequenting the same sections throughout the year. ‘They never
seem to range very far from any particular locality where they have
taken upa residence. If they do go afield, it is always by short
covered flights. For the Olomao is by nature a shy, timid bird,
and for that reason, instead of exposing itself in the open it prefers
to proceed from place to place by short low flights, usually through
the shade of the forest. Again, a flock of Olomao, even a flock in
the most restricted sense, has, I believe, never been seen. When
they rove about at all they are alone, or at most in pairs. In my
experience with the genus on Kauai, Molokai and Hawaii, I have
never seen them high up in the air, and sustain a flight of any
distance above the tree tops. Their buoyant spirit not infrequently
lifts them into the air in a prolonged burst of song, but when they
have finished the effort they drop back into cover and if so minded,
work off through the trees to some other favorite retreat. In
marked contrast with the habits of the wide-ranging Apapane or
liwi, I have never witnessed a bold flight of even a solitary indi-
vidual from the high forest-clad palis where it abounds.

It would be perfectly possible physically for the Olomao to
readily pass back and forth from Molokai to Lanai, or to Maui, or
Oahu, so far as the inter-island distances and its power of flight
are concerned. But I am convinced that its habits are such that
it does not venture voluntarily on such flghts. Furthermore, by
rarely exposing itself in the open or getting far from cover, it re-
duces the possibility of such migrations being accidentally made
through the agencies of wind and weather to the minimum.
Hence it is highly probable that the inter-island migration and
breeding of sufficient numbers of the two forms to influence the
mass of individuals on both islands sufficiently to keep them breed-
ing to type does not occur.

The general habits of the Molokai species coincide very closely
with those of the other species of the genus. Berries are by far its
commonest food. While insects were found in the stomachs of a
part of the birds examined, they occurred in no considerable
quantity in any of them. Several times I came on the birds feed-
ing on berries and had an opportunity to watch their behavior
at close range unobserved. It was thus possible for me to settle
some minor points as to their behavior, particularly as to the

bras

cause of the peculiar trembling motion of the wings which has been
attributed by one or two authors to fear alone.

A bird under close observation flew down to feed on the drupes
of a small Olapa (Chetrodendron). After a few moments it flew up
into a nearby tree, when after deliberately cleaning its bill it broke
forth into its fullest song. Pausing as if to study the effect, or to
see if the melody would be taken up by its neighbors, it would
tremble the wings and hop idly about from branch to branch.
This program was repeated many times, singing, feeding, and
fluttering its wings alternatively. It is true that the quivering is
more often resorted to under the stress of excitement, but it is
equally certain that it is indulged in at other times quite naturally
and frequently.

As to the song of the Olomao little can be added to the excel-
lent accounts already in print. No one is able to see the singer or
hear its song without being impressed by its thrush-like character.
The effort is more usually delivered from the topmost branches of
some favorite tree; although it is to be found frequently singing
joyously in the underbrush. When singing the head is always
thrown well back, the throat full and free, and the wings and tail
are invariably relaxed and drooping. ‘The irregular, at times,
somewhat jerky, though always melodious song is given not once
or twice, but often dozens of times. Once heard its character will
live in the memory for years, though its component parts are
wholly inimitable.

Not only does the Olomao sing early and late, but in fine
weather I have heard it far into the night. One of the peculiari-
ties of the song is its ventriloquistic character. A bird may be
singing volubly in a tree not twenty yards away, and so varied in
volume and timbre are the notes as the song increases from its be-
ginning of a few low chirping notes to the zenith of its power and
beauty, that even an experienced observer is at times at a loss to
locate the songster. In truth it seems that the whole tree might be
full of song. ‘The voice comes from the centre, from the right, from
the left, from the back and from the top of the tree successively or
simultaneously, seemingly at the pleasure of the musician. So
marked is this power that a bird in plain sight may sing a half
dozen times before the sombre-colored piper will be discovered.
In addition to the song the Olomao has a number of notes and

calls. One which is very puzzling, especially to the natives, is a
cat-like cry which is given in an inquiring intonation from some
hiding place in the undergrowth.

The species was more abundant at Halawa than at any of the
other localities visited. This was doubtless due to the seclusion
afforded by the untrodden forests of that section. A few immature
birds were taken, but the majority of those seen were in the fully
adult plumage. The length of time required for the young to
acquire the adult plumage is apparently more than one year.

On May 1 I took from thirty feet up in an Ohia tree growing
in the dense woods on the summit of Puualu, a nest which I have
no hesitancy in referring to this species. In the locality was a
pair of resident Olomao, evidently the owners of the nest (Mus.
No. 4710) here described. Externally it is over 6.00 inches in
diameter by 3.50 inches deep. Small dead Ohia twigs form the
foundation of the structure. Into this is placed a generous lining
of moss and fine rootlets neatly woven together to form a substan-
tial thrush-like nest. The hollow of the nest is 3.50 inches across
by 1.50 inches in depth. The nest has evidently been used and
deserted, though unmistakably of recent construction. It is singu-
lar that as yet nothing is known of the egg of any of the species of
the genus, save the reference by Henshaw (Birds of the Hawaiian
Islands, p. 31) to the finding of a small fragment of an egg shell in
the stomach of a Hawaiian Hawk (4ufeo solitarius) which he sug-
gests might be a portion of an egg of Pheornis obscura of Hawaii.

It seems worth while recording that an old native who accom-
panied me on my Moanui trip said that he had heard from his
father ‘‘that a long time ago there was on Molokai a small brown
bird that ran on the ground but could not fly,’’ but that they had
all been dead for a long time. He gave its name as Moho (/en-
nula). He also said that his father had told him of the Elepaio
(Chasiempts) being on Molokai in the olden time. Mr. Theodore
Meyer substantiated this report by saing that when he was a boy
it was generally known to the old natives that both the Moho and
Elepaio had been plentiful, but that they had long ago died out.

Strs:—Ln accordance with the standing vote of the
Trustees, [ submit my Annual Report on the present condition
of this Museum and the general course of work done in the
departments during the vear 1908.

WILLIAM T. BRIGHAM,
Director of the Museum.
Flonolulu, May 1, 1909.
Ordered printed July 9, 1909.

pene OR: TE

HE year 1908 has been memorable for the retirement of the

President of the Museum Trustees, Honorable Sanford B. Dole,
from the Board, to the sincere regret of every member of the
Museum staff and, it may be added with truth, of all who take
genuine interest in this Museum, for long before Mr. Bishop de-
cided to found the Memorial which bears the honored name of his
wife, Mr. Dole was keen in the belief that such a museum was
needed. His correspondence with me at that time was full of
interest, and when the foundation was decided upon, Mr. Dole
urged the selection of a site in town, preferably the old estate of
Paki where Mr. and Mrs. Bishop long made their home a most
hospitable centre.

When the charge of the young museum was transferred from
the Trustees of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Trust to a new board
consisting of these gentlemen and two especial representatives of
the Museum, Mr. Dole, then President of the Republic of Hawaii,
was first named for the position by Mr. Bishop, and from that
time, as president of the new board, he has shown his great inter-
est in the affairs of the institution and by this interest has greatly
encouraged all who were striving for the success of the Bernice
Pauahi Bishop Museum in its appointed field.

Mr. Charles Noyes Forbes of the University of California,
warmly recommended to me by Professor Setchell, has been ap-
pointed Assistant in Botany and he has taken hold of his work
with skill and energy since his arrival on June 15th. With the
Director he visited the Kilauea region in August and made a valu-
able collection of the plants found there, and he has since explored

the ranges and valleys in the vicinity of Honolulu, extending his
[179] (3)

trips to a camp on the mountains above Punaluu and the heights
of Kaala above Waianae. By his abundant collections we have
been able to inaugurate the long promised exchange with the
Botanical Garden at Sydney, N.S. W., and the specimens already
received in the course of exchange from Australia have been very
satisfactory. We hope soon to extend our exchanges to New
Zealand and Fiji. In his work on the Hawaiian Flora he has
described several new species of considerable interest and his de-
scriptions are appended to this Report. We hope to be able to
offer for publication in the Memoirs a decade of little known,
poorly described or unfigured Hawaiian plants of interest, of many
of which we have secured satisfactory photographs: the series to
be continued from time to time as material accumulates.

While the general activities of the Museum have continued
to be limited by the absence of any sufficient room for work or
storage, those energies not so dependent on the Museum Labora-
tories have progressed satisfactorily. Mr. J. F. G. Stokes, the
Curator of Polynesian Ethnology, has been able to incorporate
with the general collection the Deverill collection referred to in the
last annual Report as purchased for the Museum, and a summary
catalogue of the same is appended to this Report. In his investi-
gations of Hawaiian antiquities he, in common with all who have
been compelled to use the valuable work of Fornander on the
Polynesian Race, found great annoyance and unnecessary labor
from the absence of an index to that work which is filled with in-
formation unskilfully arranged and with no key. ‘To make the
path easier for future students Mr. Stokes has prepared a most
elaborate index extending to eighty-six pages as printed in double
columns, and the Trustees have authorized its printing as an extra
volume not in our exchange series. The edition is limited to two
hundred and fifty copies. Dr. W. D. Alexander, always a friend
to this Museum, has written a biographical sketch of Fornander

and has warmly commended the volume.
[180]

Director's Annual Report. 5

The Curator has also made study of the interesting so-called
‘‘shark-pens’’ near the mouth of Pearl Harbor, which the military
authorities of the United States must destroy in the improvement
of the harbor, and his results are given with this Report.

Dr. Cooke has continued his laborious collection and examina-
tion of the minute forms of Hawaiian Pulmonata, and has also
been engaged in cataloguing the important collection of the late
M. Ancey, now belonging to this Museum. Mr. J. W. Thompson
has added many casts of fishes, fruits and also of stone imple-
ments borrowed for this purpose, and these have been excellently
colored to correspond with the originals.

A work which enlisted all the forces of the Museum was the
removal of all the collections in Hawaiian Hall from the cases to
permit the repainting of the iron racks and brackets. These had
originally been coated with a bituminous paint which the tere-
binthine exhalation from the white cedar with which the cases are
lined dissolved and made intolerably sticky. This was entirely
removed from the many hundreds of brackets and racks, which
were repainted with a more suitable material. The removal of
specimens and shelves from sixty-two large cases required great
care as well as labor, but it is hoped such a removal will not again
be needed for a similar cause.

The Director’s visit to Kilauea in August and September en-
abled him to complete his notes on the history of that volcano, on
which he has for some time been engaged, and this having been
accepted by the Trustees is now passing through the press, and it
is hoped will be issued in r909. ‘The extent of this paper (which
will complete volume II of the Memoirs), and the number of the
illustrations have delayed the publication, but it 1s intended to
convey to those who have never visited these Islands some adequate
idea of the appearance and activities of this most wonderful and

accessible volcano: and recall to those who have been fortunate

[181 ]

enough to witness its eruptions, the memorable ‘‘Pit of Pele’ and
the outflow of molten rivers from Mauna Loa and Kilauea.

Much work has also been done in the preparation of a volume
on Kapa or Bark-cloth, or more properly paper, primarily of these
Islands but also including the similar work of other Polynesians
and extending through Africa, the East Indies and other coun-
tries where this primitive manufacture was once all-important but
now everywhere disappearing before the cheaper and more durable
product of the loom. With the view of preserving at least the
memory of this fast vanishing product of early ingenuity the
Trustees of this Museum have made generous provision for illus-
trating in fac s¢mile scores of beautiful or interesting colored speci-
mens from the combined collections of this Museum and of the
Director, and these plates are now in the hands of the most com-
petent workmen. It is hoped that the result ay be published in

the course of rgIo.

Walled Fish Traps of Pearl Harbor.

By JOHN F. G. STOKES.

AMONG the few remaining evidences of early Hawatian life
are the walled fish traps, pounds or weirs at the entrance to Pearl
Harbor, Oahu. They are particularly interesting as not occurring
elsewhere in the group, probably for the reason that conditions
favorable to their operation are only to be found at this one place.

The Hawaiians have had for many years a system of raising
fish for food within ponds and walled enclosures, called /oko, ad-
jacent to the sea, the varieties being confined to such shore fishes
as amaama (Mugil cephalus Lianneeus), and awa (Chanos chanos
Forskal), and an occasional mo7z (Polydactylus sexfilis Cuv.& Val.),
kaku (Sphyvrena snodgrasst Jenkins), or oopuhue ( 7etraodon sp.)
which may have entered the pond when young. ‘The system is still
in use in all the islands, more particularly on Molokai' and Oahu,
and has already been referred to by Dr. J. N. Cobb.” There was also
a method of taking fish in weirs in the mountain torrents, in which
the stream was dammed with a transverse wall just above the
rapids and conducted by means of a canal over a horizontal sieve
of long slender sticks lying parallel and close together. During
floods, when the waters of the stream were rendered muddy, great
quantities of oopu (fresh water gobies) were caught in these weirs.

The Pearl Harbor fish traps on the other hand were used for
the purpose of taking the ocean fishes which had entered the har-
bor, the principal being the akule ( 7rachurops crumenophthalma
Bloch), ozo (Albula vulpes Linneeus), weke (Mulloides and Pseudu-
peneus sp.), and pualu (Hepatus guntheri Jenkins), and the makv-
awa (E:trumeus micropus Schlegel). Occasionally other fishes were
taken in small numbers such as kawakawa and aku (Gymnosarda
sp.), opelu (Decapterus pinnulatus Eyd. & Soul.), sharks—in fact

1On this island, use was made of very large ponds, in the walls of which
were numerous entrances and exits—the fish being netted while attempting
to pass through. It is hoped to illustrate these structures at a later date.

one trap known as Pakule is claimed by older Hawaiians to have
been entered by every fish except the whale(!) and to have retained
every kind except the amaama, which latter could find its way out
over the walls.

Three traps now remain, the largest called ‘‘Pakule’’ (origi-
nally without doubt Pa akule, the akule pen, since the akule was
the most important fish taken therein) on the west bank of the
channel at Hammer Point. In this trap (Fig. 1) were caught all
the fishes just mentioned except the makiawa. In modern times
sharks have been captured within its confines, and it now goes by
the name of ‘‘The Shark Pen’’ among the white residents. The
other two traps (Figs. 2 and 3) are called ‘‘Pa makiawa’’ and are
situated, one on the west of the channel at the point called Puleou
and now sometimes misnamed Pookala (which was formerly the
name for Waipio Point), and the other on the east of the channel
between the place called Keanapuaa and Awaawaolohe bay. In
these the makiawa was taken. Formerly there was another trap on
the east bank of the channel at Bishop Point, which has been in
ruins as far back as any modern native can remember; it has been
removed and the stones used to build a small pier near the point.
From descriptions it has been gathered that the shape, position
and use were the same as the pa makiawa at Keanapuaa.

The general shape of the three fish traps is alike. A heavy
‘curved wall following generally the direction of the shore was built
in the deeper water, and, turning back for about one-third of the
distance, formed a pocket and acted as one side of the entrance.
From the turn another wall ran out to deep water as a leader.
From the shore side of the entrance a wall was constructed, first
parallel with and then directly to the shore, diminishing in size as
the water shoaled. ‘The rear end of the outer wall and the beach
were joined by another wall. The walls varied in width from a
single line of stones near the shore to from three to six feet in
the deepest part, and were built of blocks of coral reef rock
averaging in size eighteen by fifteen by six inches.

On the walls of the Pakule running shorewards were many
pieces of dark basalt and of a curious black indurated mud
resembling adobe. At several places along the bank of the
channel a stratum of the latter substance crops out between two
strata of reef rock, and at Keanapuaa this sedimentary deposit

[201 ]

26 Director's Annual Report.

is two feet deep. ‘The basaltic pieces, however, must have been
brought from a distance of several miles. ‘Tradition has it that all
the stones for the walls were brought from a hill in Kwa, Oahu,
called ‘‘Puuopalalii’’ which is of volcanic origin; the earliest ac-
count must have related to these few lava rocks. ‘The dark stones
were more numerous along the north wall than on the south, and
those found in position were about thirteen feet apart. The natives

called them ‘‘men’’ who drove back the fish attempting to pass
over the wall. When newly laid, the dark stones would have con-
trasted very strongly with the light color of the coral rock, and
undoubtedly fulfilled their purpose then, but when seen, they were
so thickly covered with mollusca and barnacles as to be well nigh
indistinguishable from the rest. It has been claimed that the dark
stones had been worked by hand to resemble sharks’ heads, but
an examination showed them to have been the result of natural
cleavages, and their shape undoubtedly influenced the builders in
their selection. ‘The best shaped specimen of each kind of stone

is shown in Figs. 4and 5: A is a piece of indurated mud; c, a layer
of the marine growth above mentioned, one and one-eighth inches
thick which has fallen from A since its removal from the water,
while B is a piece of basalt nineteen inches high. ‘The dark stones
are indicated by arrow points in Fig. 1.

At the north end of the leader wall is another dark stone
about four and one-half feet long and one foot wide and thick.

It was lying on the bottom of the water when seen, but formerly
stood erect. Its name was ‘‘Kuula,’’ the Hawaiian fish god.
Kuula was a noted fisherman in early days, who has since been
deified and is still worshipped on all the coasts of these islands in
the shape of stones, sculptured and rough, and in small walled
enclosures. His wife Hina is sometimes with him, and in the
Pakule she is to be found as a roughly pentagonal slab of coral
rock about two and one-half by two feet by eight inches in size,

and her position is on the south end of the outer wall standing
erect and facing the open sea.

Running out into deeper water from Kuula and in the same
direction as the leader, there formerly stood a row of twelve
ohia tree stems about six fathoms high and three feet apart. It

was called ‘‘Pa Ohia,’’ and some of the trees were seen in place ten
years ago. It is probable that the other fish traps were similarly
provided.

The walls of the Pakule are approximately nine inches above
water at low tide, and the height of the tide averages one and
one-half feet. The walls of the two pa makiawa are just covered at
low tide, but were probably a little kigher, as they are not so well
preserved as those of the pas The two former pens, judging

from the marine growth, are much older than the latter. On the
walls of the pa makiawa at Puleou, no dark stones were observed,
but a few were seen on the ozu/ey wall of that at Keanapuaa, and
none on the side walls.

From rough soundings made, it was observed that the corre-
sponding depth of water inside and outside of the fish traps did
not appreciably differ. In the plans, the depth at low tide is
marked in feet. Some months ago when sections of the north and

was found that the stones were lying on top of the sand bank and
that conditions were the same as at the time of building. The
writer is waiting to watch the removal of the heavier outer wall.

It is interesting to note what advantage of natural conditions
was taken by the early fishermen in constructing their traps on
the banks jutting out into the channel. In referring to the map,
it should be remembered that the pa makiawa at Bishop Point
was merely drawn in from description. ‘The natives say that
the incoming tide flows more strongly against the east side of the
channel, while the west side bears the heavier proportion of the ebb.
To reap the full benefit of this condition, the entrances of the pens
were built opposed to the stronger current.

[205 ]

30 Director's Annual Report.

In landing the catch, the shoal was allowed to enter the pen,
when the fish, probably finding themselves entrapped, congregated
in the deep water of the pocket. Soon, no doubt following the
tide, they moved toward the closed side of the pen, when a small
seine was drawn across the entrance from a point about the middle
of the outer wall and their return to deep water barred. ‘They
were then drawn ashore through the shallow water.

The name of the builder of the fish traps has not come down
to us, but the natives living thereabout say that the Pakule was

built in one night by the Menehune—gnomes—many years ago.
The Menehune belief is frequently met with on these islands, and
to the constructive ability of these mythical people is attributed
today many of the earlier works of the Hawaiians. Ancient Ha-
waiian history records little more than the genealogies and wars,
but Fornander’ mentions that an enterprising Ewa chief, Keaunui,
son of Maweke, about twenty-six generations ago, accomplished
the task of widening and deepening the channel of the harbor,
which was without doubt no mean undertaking. ‘To such a chief
might perhaps be given credit for the ingenuity exercised in build-
ing these weirs. ‘The writer is inclined, however, to surmise the

date as about thirteen generations ago, when the building of the
walled fish ponds must have been sufficiently novel to the native
chronicler for the fact to be recorded. ‘Then it was that Kalai-
mantuia,+ queen of Oahu, was accredited with the building of three
fish ponds in Pearl Harbor, Aapaakea in Waimalu, and Ofu and
Paatau in Kalauao, and her son Kaihikapu is mentioned as con-
structing two more in Moanalua near by. As to whether the fish
ponds or the fish traps took precedence in time in these islands is
an open question. Under ordinary circumstances it might easily

be conceived how fishermen observing the assistance given by a
natural wall or bank in the water and channels in the reefs, when
surrounding their prey, would construct artificial walls to assist in
driving the fish, and the walled fish trap as here illustrated might
follow as a natural development. Ethnology teaches us that the
rearing of animals denotes a higher civilization than the hunting
of the same, and it is reasonable to admit that the growing of fish
in the ponds and their conservation for future needs is an advance
on the method of capturing supplies to fill immediate demands.
The original fish pond was probably a fish trap in which a
larger supply than needed was taken at one time and the fish re-

tained therein until used. This advantage of a supply on hand
might well have suggested the enlargement and alteration of the
shape of fish traps for use as fish ponds, the present simple walled
structure constituting the latter, being the natural result of economy
of labor. However, this explanation drawn from local conditions
can hardly be taken as a guide to priority of age of the fish traps
now remaining at Pearl Harbor in comparison with the fish ponds
of these islands, as both are well developed forms fully adapted for

their respective uses, and existed in full operation at the same
time side by side. It is not improbable that they owe their origin
to a time prior to the advent of the Polynesians to these islands, and
it would be interesting to observe what advances in these directions
the southern Polynesians had made. ‘The similarity of type of the
fish traps at Pearl Harbor seems to indicate a familarity with some
previously known form, though they may also have been copied
from one original in Pearl Harbor, in which case that on Bishop
Point was probably the first, followed in order of time by those at
Puleou, Keanapuaa and Hammer Point, judging from the marine

growth and condition of the walls.

It is among the fisherfolk that we find superstitions most preva-
lent today, and many Hawaiian fishermen are still as punctilious in
the offerings of ‘‘first-fruits’’ as they were formerly. When a Ha-
waiian makes a new net, the first object drawn up, be it fish, sea-
weed or pebble, is offered to Kuula with a prayer to insure the luck
of the net. Formerly, and in isolated cases today, the first fish of
the catch was brought ashore and dedicated to Kuula, the ceremony
as now observed being a simple offering generally accompanied by
a prayer and varying according to the locality and the individual.

FIG. 10. NORTH WALL OF PAKULE, LOOKING WEST.

At Hammer Point above the beach and in line with the north
and south walls of the Pakule is an zmz or underground oven
called ‘‘Koa’’ (Figs. 1 and 11). Koa is the name of a small walled
enclosure or platform, numerous examples of which are scattered
around the coasts of these islands, where the fish are offered to
Kuula. This Museum is fortunate in having in its employ asa

janitor a Hawaiian fisherman who lived for many years near

~Puuloa, and through him most of the native information was

gleaned. The Pakule and the land at Hammer Point enclosed

by the fence and the house (see Fig. 1) were tabu to Kuula and
Oc. P., B. P. B. M., VoL. IV, No. 3.—3. [209 }

34 Director’s Annual Report.

watched over by his kahuna or priest, who lived in the house
and drew the fish into the trap by means of invocations to his
deity. It would seem that the ceremonies connected with this
Pakule were to be stringently observed, as, if a kahuna in his
incantations even misplaced a word, the ceremony would be of
no effect and the kahuna would die. ‘The priest was believed to
have the power to draw into the trap at will any variety of fish
desired, and for his services he received payment in advance from
the fishermen who expected to benefit from the catch. It was

believed that when invoked, Hina enticed the variety of fish
desired into the harbor from the sea. On the return of the fish to
the ocean, they perceived Kuula hiding behind the wall and fear-
ing to pass him, attempted to make their way over the bank, where
they were stopped by the men on the walls (represented by the
black stones). Threatened on both sides, they entered the trap.
Mr. Bruce Cartwright Jr. found on top of the wall near Hina a
collection of four or five small pieces of basalt; the largest, under
seven inches long, was preserved and shown to a native, who said
it represented a certain fish. It may be that the kahuna, who
believed in his power as thoroughly as did his customers, desig-

[210]

Walled Fish Traps of Pearl Harbor. 35

nated to the goddess the variety of fish he prayed for, by means
of such stones placed where described.

Piopio is said to have been the kahuna until 1882 or 1883,
followed by Kaanaana until 1889. ‘Then Kimona took charge and
operated the Pakule until 1891 when he left to live at Moanalua.
Several attempts to resuscitate the fishing have since failed, in
1907 no less than three kahunas being called in at different
times, and the natives have observed that these three priests have
died since their failure, and the man employing them has lost
his position !

The janitor was once a participant in a catch of fish, when
several fishermen asked the kahuna to call in a certain variety.
‘They were told to return the following morning. On their return,
the fish were waiting and while the kahuna uttered his prayers
by the heating imu, the fishermen surrounded the shoal; leaving
the catch in the water inside the net, they brought one fish—the
first—to the kahuna who offered it to Kuula and cooked it in
the oven, all the while mumbling his prayers, which the janitor,
who was desirous of learning how to do it, could neither hear
clearly nor understand. When cooked the fish was partaken of
by every one present, and all the remains buried in the oven.
Mr. Cartwright has lately informed the writer that there are
certain holes in the ledge of rock at Puleou in which, it was said,
the fish were cooked, and it is more than probable that similar
customs prevailed at the other fish traps, the cessation of the
same being due to the overshadowing influence of the larger
and better situated Pakule, which is also, as before remarked,
probably the most recent.

The walls of the Pakule and the fenced ground have been
refered to as tabu to Kuula. Males and unmarried girls were per-
mitted to pass along the walls and through the enclosure, but if
any married woman were to trespass in these sacred precincts, a
sickness would attend her which would end her life unless cured by
Kuula’s kahuna. Another version is that both the woman and
the kahuna would die. It might be mentioned that from the walls
of fish ponds women were debarred during the period of their
menses, the belief being that the fish in the pond would become
poor and thin, and the consequences to the woman, a serious

[211]

36 Director's Annual Report.

illness or even death. Any explanation of this and the foregoing
beliefs the writer has been unable to obtain.

The janitor had observed that during the incumbency of the
various kahuna sharks were never known to have entered the
trap, but since the Pakule has been unguarded these fish have
often trespassed. An evidence of this is the curious fact that
today the Pakule is known to the white population as ‘‘The Shark
Pen,’’ and the belief is general among others than the aborigines
that it was built for the purpose of entrapping sharks.

These walled fish traps, being in the line of the channel
planned by the United States naval authorities, will probably
cease to exist within the next twelve months.

Lysimachia longisepala, sp. nov.

Folia ovata, acuminata, 11.5-15 X 5-6.5 cm., basi acuminata; petiolus
tomentosus, 2-3 cm. longus. Flores 2-3, auxillaries; pedunculi tomentosi,

lanceolata, 1 cm. longa, filamenta basi dilata, subconnata. Capsula crus-
tacea, 16 X Io mm.

A suffruticose plant six inches to three feet in height, usually
unbranched, the new growth being tomentose with purplish hairs,
becoming glabrous with age. Leaves very dark green above,
paler beneath, ovate, acuminate, 4.5—7.5 X 2-3.5 inches, the base
narrowing into a tomentose petiole of 22 lines. Flowers pendu-
lous, one to three in the axils of the upper leaves, on tomentose
peduncles 9-14 lines long. Calyx green, marked with deep purple
veins, and tomentose on the back with purple hairs, its deeply
parted seven (6-8) lanceolate lobes longer than the corolla, 11
lines. Corolla colored as the calyx, its lobes ovate lanceolate,
minutely serrate, 5 lines long. Stamens less than one half the
length of the corolla, filaments dilated at the base, sub-connate.
Style about the length of the corolla. Capsule bottle-shaped,
thick, crustaceous, 8 lines long, 5 lines in diameter, tipped by the
style of 8 lines in length.

Flowering specimens were first collected when in the company
of Mr. J. F. Rock during September, 1908, and eight months later
fruiting specimens were collected in the company of Dr. C. M.
Cooke and Mr. C. L. Thompson. The plant occurs in wet woods
of the Punaluu Mountains, Oahu. Elevation about 2,300 feet.

The difference between this species and the other Hawaiian
Lysimachias seems almost generic. It is unique among our species
for having a longer calyx than corolla, and otherwise differs in its
more cylindrical flowers which are twisted tighter in the bud, and
in its much larger leaves.

To the Trustees of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum.

Sirs:—In accordance with the standing vote of the
Trustees, I submit my annual report on the present con-
dition of this Museum and the general course of work
done in the year 1909.

WILLIAM T. BRIGHAM,

Director of the Museum.
Honolulu, April 13, 1910.

Ordered printed August 2, 1910.

REPORT

HE year 1909 has been one of progress in this Museum,

but still more one of preparation. After some years of great

inconvenience and repression from want of workrooms and
of safe storerooms, towards the end of the year arrangements were
made to build a Laboratory commensurate with the needs of such
a museum as this has become in the twenty years of its existence,
aud probably before the end of another year this long desired
building will be ready for use.

For more than a year the Museum staff has been insufficient
for the work to be done, and our laboratory space precluded the
employment of additional specialists, but the spirit of loyalty to
the best interests of the Museum has animated our little company
to efforts that seemed almost impossible in our limited and incon-
venient quarters. We have been scattered; one department work-
ing in Manoa Valley, another in Nuuanu Valley, while a third
has operated in the midst of the fish market region. Such segre-
gation has somewhat lessened the resulting accomplishments, and
the prospect of a new portion of the building where all depart-
ments have their own quarters within reach of the collections and
the working library is a most agreeable one.

It has not seemed well to recommend the appointment of a
marine zoologist for the staff because we had no suitable place
for the preparation and study of specimens of the wonderful marine
life to be found on our reefs at all seasons of the year. Nota day
of the three hundred and sixty-five when fear of malaria haunts
the shore or a low temperature checks the life current of the coral
polyp or any other of the (often undescribed) inhabitants of the

clear waters that surround these islands. In no marine zoological

station already established are there such ideal conditions for
study, and should it be announced that we desired a marine zoolo-
gist many would be the applicants for such a chance for original
investigation. ‘To those who rate highly the discovery of new
species our reefs offer a rich field, for in the collections made in
three days by the members of the present staff on this island
and on Molokai, none of them specialists in marine zoology, Dr.
Vaughn, of the United States National Museum, found a dozen
new species, some of great interest. Surely this mine is not yet
worked out; it is easily accessible and vastly attractive. But to
those who desire to know more of the structure and life history of
the reef-dwellers a more convenient place for study can hardly be
desired than here found on our reefs.

In the deed which established the Bernice P. Bishop Museum
as an independent institution, definite reference was made by the
founder to the possible establishment, under the auspices of this
museum, of a Marine Aquarium for the study of life on our reefs.
and the public exhibition of their most interesting inhabitants in a
living condition. While the funds are not at hand for such an
establishment as should be on this island, much can be done with
the conveniences of the new laboratory to collect and study the

)

smaller ‘‘Harvest of the Sea,’’ and it is hoped that another year
may see the department of Marine Zoology inaugurated.

It would be pleasant to anticipate some of the many advan-
tages to accrue from the possession of suitable work- and store-
rooms, but it is perhaps wiser to wait until we move into and try
our new domain, and are able to install the apparatus brought
from Berlin fourteen years ago. After such an interval we can
surely wait another twelvemonth.

From the things that may be in the future we turn to some of
those in hand, and it is pleasant to call attention to the gift by the
Hon. Wm. R. Castle of perhaps the most valuable single collection
we have received by gift. I had been in correspondence with one

of the Australian pioneers, Mr. J. F. Connelly, a surveyor who.

[228 |

Director's Annual Report. 5

had explored extensively in western Australia for many years.
He had collected from the natives among whom his profession
led him, a fine series of implements of peace and weapons of war,
which he wished to dispose of. We had no funds and it seemed
impossible to save these treasures, when Mr. Castle came to our
aid and purchased for us the collection which is now in our cases
and has more than doubled our former collection of Australian
specimens. The list given by Mr. Stokes shows the extent, but
it would take much more space to tell its great value. With more
of such friends it would be quite possible to make this Museum a
great one, greater than any expensive exploring expeditions could
achieve so far as specimens go, for no longer are these things to
be had among the peoples who made and used them. Only in a
few private collections made years ago exist the desiderata for our
shelves. I am following many of these with anxious eye, but
have not the funds needed to acquire them, and they will probably
go to the rich museums of Europe that have a Government
treasury behind them.

The accessions to the Library continue both as the result of
exchange of publications and the purchase of books. In all cases
the purchases are limited to the most pressing demands of a

)

‘working library’’ in a region so remote from scientific libraries.
It will not be long before our library, now quartered in the upper
gallery of Hawaiian Hall will require additional accommoda-
tion, all the cases made for books being now full to their utmost
capacity. Neither will it be long before the opening of this upper
gallery to the public must be considered, for the cases in the first
gallery are nearly full. Closely connected with our library is the
Museum Press soon to move into new and spacious rooms.
The publications during 1909 were the Index to Fornander’s
Polynesians, by Mr. Stokes, issued as a special volume in small
edition and not on our exchange list; this is considered a good

example of indexing, and has proved of great use to many who
[229]

have used it. This was followed by the Annual Report, and the
year closed with the publication of the fourth and last part of
Volume II of the Memoirs, a brief history of the volcanoes Kilauea
and Mauna Loa on Hawaii. Of course there has been the usual
large amount of label work and the miscellaneous printing the
Museum requires. It has been a great hindrance having the
presswork done in town, and it will be a matter for early consider-
ation whether we should not make better work in the new printery
on a hand press; if the work is to still be done in town a much
larger font of type should be provided, as forms are locked up and
delayed in town beyond reasonable measure. Lest this should
seem a reversion to ancient methods, let us remember that the
finest work has always been done on the old hand press, and this
is universally used for the proofs of the half tone engravings which
form so large a part of modern illustration. The printing of a
volume on Kapa-making has already been arranged, and it ts
thought that this will be ready during 1910 as Volume III of the
Memoirs. ‘The. illustrations have many of them been made in
Vienna in color and are faithful reproductions of the beautiful
kapa still existing in this Museum and in the Director’s private
collection, which includes most of those Cook brought home.
Unfortunately under the tariff these plates which will cost nearly
five dollars.a set, are subject to a duty of 25%, although they

could not be made of such quality in America at present.
Department of Ethnology.
In the Department of Polynesian Ethnology Mr. J. F. G.

Stokes, the Curator, has continued his studies of the curious
Hawaiian fish-traps and conservation ponds and his results appear
later in this series. Mr. Stokes has also spent some time on
Molokai surveying the remains of the ancient /ezaw or temples,
and while thus engaged found time to make collections of great
value, among them a collection of plants and the curious and little

known Kalaina wawae, specimens of which, given by Mr. George
[230]

Director's Annual Report. 7

P. Cooke, are now in the Museum and will be described later.
Some other gifts have been received and are acknowledged in the

list of accessions given below.
Department of Pulmonata.

Dr. C. M. Cooke, the Curator of Pulmonata, has made very
extensive collections in his department and has spent much time
on the Ancey collection. He reports: ‘‘Number of specimens
collected or sent to the Museum for identification, 27,333. Cata-
logue numbers, 1347. The Thwing collection, numbering nearly
40,000, was purchased by the Trustees. It is hoped that the cata-
loguing of this magnificent collection will be finished during 1910.

‘‘Specimens have been received from Messrs. I. Spalding,
weON: Forbes, A> FF: Knudsen, BM. Podmore, W. H. Rice Jr.,
idee C..S. Dole, A. F. Judd, C: H. Cook, EF. Deverill, F. W.
Terry and Dr. H. E. Crampton.’’

Department of Botany.

Mr. Charles N. Forbes has continued his good work in this
Department of which he has now been appointed Curator, and
this may be partly seen in his report. He also has an account of
a new Hawaiian plant. His report is as follows:—‘‘ An excur-
sion for the purpose of collecting and studying the vegetation of
Kauai was made during the months of July, August and September.
Four bases were established as follows: Hanalei, from which the
region Kalalau and the power line trail was gone over; Lihue,
from which the surrounding region was slightly covered; the
McBryde mountain house and Mr. Gay’s mountain house. Side
trips were taken up Hanapepe and Olokele valleys. In covering
so large a region in so short a time hardly more than a superficial
survey could be made of any one place. About 500different varie-
‘ties were collected, and a good preliminary knowledge of the
vegetation of the island was acquired A large part of the success
of the trip was due to the friendly interest shown by many of the

people of Kauai, and especial thanks are due to Rev. J. M. Lydgate,
[231]

8 Director's Annual Report.

Judge C. S. Dole, Mr. Francis Gay and Mr. E. G. K. Deverill.
The exploration of Oahu has been continued, essentially the same
regions being covered as given in the last report.

‘‘Most of the loose and unmounted material has been classified
and incorporated into the Herbarium. Much trouble has been
occasioned by small mites; and besides the preliminary fumiga-
tion which every specimen receives before being placed in the
cases, the whole herbarium has been fumigated three times, twice
with carbon disulphide and once with hydrocyanic acid gas, the
latter method only proving effective. As the two rooms where the
Herbarium is stored are small and tight, this method can be fol-
lowed easily and with little danger.

‘The Herbarium contains specimens of nearly every species so
far reported from these islands, but contains no series illustrating
the variations which are so striking on this group, and which are
of the greatest importance to the modern botanist. Many of our
specimens lack the exact localities from which they were taken,
which are now recognized as of the utmost importance. For these
reasons it would be advisable to increase our collections as rapidly
as possible. ‘The Herbarium consists of :—

“The Director started an exchange with the Australian Botanic
Garden in Sydney last year, and we have already exchanged 300
specimens. It is hoped that visits may be made to the other
islands of this group, if for no other purpose than to keep up this
valuable exchange. It would also be of advantage to extend
these exchanges.

“‘ Accessions during the year.—The following gentlemen have
added specimens to the Museum: Dr. W. T. Brigham, 30 speci-
mens, Maui; Dr. C. M. Cooke, 1 specimen, Oahu: Albert F. Judd
Esq., 3 specimens, Hawaii; Rev. J. M. Lydgate, 78 specimens,
Kauai; Mr. J. F G. Stokes, 126 specimens, Molokai; Mr: €: B:
Thompson, 5 specimens, Oahu; Mr. J. W. Thompson, 2 speci-
mens, Oahu, 1 specimen, Molokai; Dr. E. V. Wilcox, 2 speci-
mens, Oahu.’’

Mr. J. W. Thompson has continued his good work in making
casts of the fish found in the Honolulu waters, and we have now
over three hundred accurately colored casts. As may be supposed,
the new fish are less and less frequent, and it will soon be neces-
sary for our artist to visit the other islands of the group to obtain
those specimens of the Hawaiian fish fauna that are peculiar to
each of the islands.

The attendance of visitors during the year is shown in the
table: there is a total attendance of visitors exceeding that of 1908
by 1940. When we examine the table by nationalities we find an
‘increase of white visitors of 251, and of Japanese of 2133, the
latter due to the presence of a training ship of that nation, when
it seemed that nearly all both officers and men came to the Muse-
um; of Hawaiians 246 less than the previous year.* The Trus-
tees found it necessary to forbid the admission of children under
five years of age, as women brought many babes in the arms and

children too young to go alone, and spent the day, until the

*The small attendance during February was due to closing the Museum
on account of oiling the roads in the yard; only those with permits from the
office were admitted.

nursery noises and operations became a great nuisance, and the

enforcement of the rule has been a great relief to visitors as well

as to the staff; probably several hundred babies have been ex-

cluded, although cases have occurred where oriental mothers have

claimed that unweaned babes were over five years old.

FIG.

Hawaiian Curved Adzes.

By WILLIAM T. BRIGHAM.

Ir has long been a puzzle to me how the ancient Hawaiians
cut the bottom of their canoes on the inside so evenly curved: it
seems possible only on the supposition that polishing stones were
used to grind down the irregular cut of the common adze which
seldom has a face of more than two inches in width. In the
extensive collection of stone adzes in this Museum there is not one
that a modern carpenter would have selected for cutting a canoe
bottom. I had seen the old-time canoe makers wield the clumsy
looking stone adze (after cutting the rough work with a foreign
steel adze) with a skill and certainty difficult to acquire, leaving
the outside of the canoe with a fairly smooth surface, but I never
happened to meet one working on the inside, which was generally
left to the last.

Anyone who has seen the procedure of bailing out a genuine
native canoe with a fragment of gourd umeke will understand the
importance of a smooth, evenly curved bottom. It was gratifying
to find at last a tool capable of doing what seemed needed in
fashioning such a bottom. During the past year Mr. William
Wagener has brought to my notice an adze found by him in
Hamakua, Hawaii. To him it was a rare form, as he had seen
only one other, and he deposited it in this Museum for study and
casting. As will be seen in Fig. 1, the shank has been broken
(recently) and there are a few nicks in the cutting edge, but the
finish is careful and complete. If we allow for the broken shank
its weight would exceed 4.5 lbs. Its peculiarity consists in the
double curve of its cutting edge which is beautifully regular.
The stone is dark-blue phonolite with a brown oxydized surface.
Weight 3 lbs. 9 0oz.; breadth 5.7 in.; length 8.2 in. (10.2 when
entire?); thickness 2in. (Figs. 1 and 2.)

Notes on Hawaiian Petroglyphs.—l.
By JOHN F. G. STOKES.

DuRING the past four years the writer has at different times
collected data on Hawaiian petroglyphs and had planned, at some
future date when the material gathered seemed complete enough,
to prepare a paper on the subject or place the information gleaned
in the hands of a more able person for the same purpose. ‘The
manifold duties of a member of a small museum staff have so
largely interfered with the carrying out of these plans that the
time of their consummation is too indefinite; and rather than keep
from students of Hawaiian ethnology the information that should be
theirs, the knowledge so far gained is submitted herewith as No. 1
of a series in which it is hoped to publish from time to time as
discovered or communicated unrecorded data on the subject.

The first observer to record petroglyphs on these islands was
Mathison! who in 1822 saw a pictured stoneon Oahu. The follow-
ing year Ellis? frequently saw along the southern coast of Hawaii
‘fa number of straight lines, semicircles or concentric rings, with
some rude imitations of the human figure cut or carved in the
compact rocks of lava.’’ Fornander3 observed them on a hill at
Kalae, Molokai, but appeared to see in them only an evidence of
phallic worship. Kramer* saw a number on the same hill and
illustrated several of the figures. At this same time (beginning
of 1898) Farley5 recorded his observations on the numerous petro-
glyphs occasionally uncovered by storms on the beach at Koloa,
Kauai. ‘Two years later Thrum® published an account of a dis-

The following notes were mainly gathered during the writer’s
journeys round the islands of Hawaii in 1906 and Molokai in 1909
while surveying the ancient places of worship and collecting
available data for the assistance of the Director in his proposed
monograph on Hawaiian heiau, under a grant from the Carnegie
Institution of Washington. Since the object of the expeditions
was as just outlined and the travelling expenses were defrayed by
the Institution, the writer did not feel at liberty to give as much

time to the subject of petroglyphs as he would have desired, or
have taken, had the expedition been entirely financed by the Bishop
Museum. In addition to these notes are included illustrations of
petroglyphs gathered by Mr. Judd since his last paper, and kindly
given to the Museum.

Kona, Hawaii.—The attention of the writer in the field was
first drawn to petroglyphs at Kahaluu, near the heiau of Keeku,
by information from a native that there was a picture on the beach.
As the tide had ebbed, an examination was made of the remains

of an ancient lava flow extending seaward about two hundred
and fifty feet from the beach, and at a point about twenty-five feet
from the sand was a doubly outlined petroglyph (Fig. 1), repre-
senting a headless human figure, cut into a smooth part of the
lava to a depth of .5 inch. ‘The guide said it was Kamalalawalu.
Around it in all directions were numerous faint single-lined figures
(Figs. 2, 3) which the native appeared to see for-the first time,
and which he suggested were Kamalalawalu’s men. Preparations
were at once made to photograph the figures, but as it was believed
that none of them except the first mentioned were deep enough
for the faint grooves to be Sat by the camera, a mixture of

white lead and kerosene was tried, there being no prepared paint
available. Great care was given to the outlining of these figures,
and when they were incomplete, either through erosion by the
sea or possibly for the reason that the work had been left un-
finished by the artist, no exercise of the imagination was permitted
to interfere with the presentation of anything but the parts which

could be clearly traced. The paint mixture was not successful,
and later a thin line of chalk along the middle of the grooves was
found amply sufficient.

All the figures except that of Kamalalawalu were rather
smoothly and evenly graved in thin rounded channels of a general
width of .4 inch anda depth of .1 inch. ‘The heads of the smaller
ones when not outlined were cup-marks of about .3 inch in depth;
and of the larger, flat and shallow depressions of the same depth

as the outlines of the figures. ‘hey were probably made by ham-

mering or pecking with a beach pebble, as the measurements of
the grooves might indicate. Previous observers have been wont
to refer to the native stone adze as the cutting implement for the
petroglyphs they were describing, but even if the stone adze could
keep its edge when cutting into stone strata sometimes as hard as
itself, there is nothing in the petroglyphs or within reason to de-

monstrate why the workers should ignore a simple and effective
tool like a pebble, which they could obtain anywhere without effort,
in favor of the laboriously wrought stone adze. Dr. Brigham? has
demonstrated the facility with which the natives could use the
beach pebbles when working in stone, and the writer has seen
natives of today hammer out their names or initials on a flat rock,
in neat and symmetrical letters, with nothing but a small stone

picked at random. It should also be mentioned that this work
would be done in a surprisingly short time, and when finished the
grooves would have measurements corresponding proportionately
with the greater number of petroglyphs so farseen. In the ancient
work the channels may have been rubbed down, in place of being
hammered, or smoothed by rubbing after abrading with the ham-
mer, but after an examination of the initials and names above
mentioned, no need for any smoothing process. could be seen
In referring to the figures below, the measurements given are of
the length, taken from photographs, and are approximate.

Leaving the narrow sandy beach, and proceeding westward
the first petroglyph (Fig. 2) met is incomplete, representing either
the shoulders and arms or the wide-spread legs of the human
figure. Next, in the same order, are two
forms (Fig. 4) close together which are un- Sy
like any others so far observed; the first,
length ro inches with squared joints, has a
very peculiar upward turn at the knees,
which posture is difficult to explain. The
second, length 13 inches, has proven unique
in these investigations so far on account of
the fact that the rock at the knees has not
been abraded and is on the same level as the
original surface; the contiguous outline of FIc. 6.
the figure was very distinct. It probably
was intended to portray some person or object with broken legs.
Another point of peculiarity was the two-pronged feet—when the
foot is represented at all it is generally by a single line at an obtuse
angle to the part of the leg adjoining. A little to the north is the
figure of an orator or a spear thrower (Fig. 6). The next couple
of figures, 13 and 15 inches long, have the heads outlined, and the
smaller has two small punctures for the eyes (Fig. 5). The last,
in place of the usual central line for the trunk, has a curve to rep-
resent the chest or breast.

The pictures of the interesting quartet in the foreground of
Fig. 7. are no doubt an attempt to portray the happenings at an
obstetrical case; the figures are grouped together and are slightly
removed from the rest of the pictures. Kahaluu, from its superior

natural advantages, was the abode of many chiefs and kings
[ 262]

(as the number of heiau in the vicinity would indicate), and
this group may well have been intended to record the not un-
common occurrences in Hawaiian history such as mentioned by
Fornander” in vol. ii, pp. 204 and 260. The length of the figures
is 30, 18 and 20 inches.

To the south-west of the last group is another of three figures
with rounded limbs placed in a row (Fig. 8). It has been not in-
appropriately suggested that these were three dancers, the arms of

the smallest figure being properly placed for some of the move-
ments of the w/a. To the north and west are numerous other
figures which have probably been added after the completion of
the last group. However, there is nothing in the appearance of
the gravings to be ascertained as to the comparative age. One
figure should be noticed with the line of the trunk transversely
broken by a segment of a circle (Fig. 9). The outlined-headed
figure has its right foot connected with a small figure, 11.5 inches

long, depicted with a rectangular abdomen (Fig. 10). ‘The head-
less figure directly below is 10.5 inches long. A little more to the
west than the last 1s a curved-limbed figure with a broken-lined
trunk and a line between the feet suggestive of a skirt (Fig. rr).
In a number of cases the males are definitely marked, leaving it
open to the suggestion that the unmarked figures must be females.
But considering the number of unmarked figures, it does not seem

reasonable to conclude that all these were females. Nevertheless
the Hawaiians were children of Nature and were accustomed to
regard herassheis. The woman’s dress was the pa’u, a wrapping
of tapa extending from the waist to the knee.

To the west of the hula group is a jumble of petroglyphs, the
most interesting being the deeply incised figure of Kamalalawalu
(Figs. 1, 12 and 13). It is more than probable that this figure
was not always beheaded, as outlines of what may have been the
lower part of the head are still traceable. Where the head should
be there is a natural crack in the bed-rock which seems to have

occurred since the graving of this and the surrounding carvings.
It is believed that the Hawaiians did not practise decapitation.
The figure is 10.5 inches long, with trunk and limbs represented
by double lines of grooves .g inch wide and .5 inch deep At its
foot is a male figure with head and body outlined, the latter in
oval form. On the east, other incomplete figures adjoin, one with
an outlined head and dotted eyes and nose.

To the north of Kamalalawalu (Fig. 12), is another of the
figures with an upraised arm, while to the west of the last is

apparently a figure in profile. Petroglyphs in profile are so un-
usual" that it might be safer to consider this one incomplete, or
the remains of one that has been worn down by the waves. Still
further to the west is a graving (Fig. 14) 40 inches long which
from peculiarities of its outline might at first seem modern. How-
ever, the graving is similar in all respects to those described above.
Part of the head was seen, but does not show in the photograph.
The abdomen is roughly rectangular with four upright or slanting
strokes on the upper side. ‘The feet are circles.

“Certain stone carvings in profile have been previously referred to on
pages 124 and 125 of this yolume.
[265]

42 Director's Annual Report.

To the west and south-west of Kamalalawalu are other lined
figures one of which (Fig. 15) is a phallic emblem, 21 inches
long, which certainly does not seem modern. ‘Through the fog-
ging of the films, it has been necessary to trace these outlines.

To the south of the last is a male figure (Fig. 16) with two
parallel disconnected lines for the trunk, and feet or toes repre-
sented by three disjointed strokes.

To the north and north-west, along the edge of the low mound
of lava on which the petroglyphs were found, were other carvings

\ fa.

FIG. I0.

(Figs.17 and 18). One (Fig. 18), 33 inches long, had a flat shallow
depression for a head, forearms turned inward and hands down-
ward. No legs could be traced, but the trunk was represented
by a long line interrupted by cup-marks, and a design the pur-
port of which is now indefinite.

On another swelling of lava to the west (Figs. 19 and 20) isa
very large unfinished figure; while some distance to the south is
an attempt at another, with part of a name below it. ‘These are
unquestionably modern as the graving is very different from that
described above, the peckings being still distinctly seen and the
channels anything but smooth. ‘They were, judging from appear-
ances, made with a steel implement (perhaps a pick) the scars

from which have been slightly rounded by the waves.

Nearer the sea than the last mentioned is an artificial bowl
8X 3.5 inches cut in a flat rock, the use of which was not apparent.
The petroglyphs at Kahaluu lay pointing in all directions,
but the majority headed towards the land, perhaps because it was
more comfortable for the worker to face the mountains than the

sea, or that the lava sloped upwards towards the shore. Nor was
there much uniformity in the style of workmanship, only in some
of the isolated groups of two or more figures did it appear that one
artist had been responsible for more than one petroglyph.

It will have been seen from the illustrations that the com-

moner forms at this place were figures with small cup-marked

heads, single-lined bodies and angular or curved joints, which
from present recorded discoveries might be called the typical
forms. ‘The triangular-bodied and four-legged figures were absent.

At the time of these investigations there was living in Kahaluu
an old native named Malanui, eighty-six years of age, who, after

FIG. I4.

’

the petroglyphs were marked, led the writer to the beach and
pointed out the figure of Kamalalawalu. The other petroglyphs,
when his attention was called to them, he declared he knew nothing

of, and offered no suggestions. The following bit of history had

been previously communicated by him, and is confirmed in part
by Fornander.
When Kamalalawalu, king of Maui, invaded Hawaii, Lono-

ikamakahiki the king of Hawaii was in Kahaluu. On hearing of
[269]

46 Director's Annual Report.

the landing near Kawaihae bay, Lono held a council of war at
which two old priests presented the following plan: Lono was to
disgrace them and drive them from court; they were to seek refuge
with the enemy and confidence being gained advice was to be
given that a march be made inland toward Waimea where they
were to claim that Lono was in such a weak position that his de-
feat was certain. The plot succeeded, and while Kamalalawalu
marched inland, Lono brought his forces along the coast from
Kahaluu and cut off the retreat. Kamalalawalu was killed in the
engagement that ensued. His body was brought to Kahaluu, a

picture of it made on the rock, and the body sacrificed in the
nearby heiau of Keeku.

Fornander’s account’ of the main facts of the invasion is
similar. ‘Thrum,% who has been gathering legendary lore during
the past forty years, has gleaned several accounts referring to the
sacrifice—one, that it took place at the heiau of Ohiamukumuku,
a quarter of a mile from Keeku; another that the Maui king was
killed at Ohiamukumuku and his bones burned at Makole’a, an-
other heiau one hundred yards from Keeku. ‘The second was
discredited by Thrum on account of other information which he
had to the effect that the bones were saved and later returned to

Maui. ‘Thrum also has information to the effect that the heiau
of Keeku was purported to have been built by Kamehameha I,
about two hundred years after the time of Lono-ikamakahiki.
Malanui was the grandson of the last priest of the neighbor-
ing heiau of Kapuanoni and was the only man met on Hawaii

who could then give any information on the details of a heiau.

He said that his knowledge was imparted to him by his grand-

father and father. I have no reason to doubt the man’s sincerity,

as he was a Hawaiian of the old type, who neither drank nor

smoked and was highly ess by the other natives. On offer-
272]

ing him a tip in as delicate a way as possible, he was much
offended and explained that he gave me the information because
he wished to assist the stranger, and begged me not to repeat the
offer. He had lived in Kahaluu all his life. Healso told me that
King Kalakaua had tried to break off some of the petroglyphs to
take them to Honolulu. A large quantity of rock had been
removed from the swelling of lava on the land side, but there were
no marks on the broken edge of cold chisels or steel tools, which
would probably have been used for the work thirty years ago.
It should be mentioned that the natives then living at Kahaluu
referred to the figure of Kamalalawalu by that name.

At Palemano Point, Keei, near the heiau of Kamaiko and on
the lava at the south side of Kealakeakua Bay, a petroglyph was
found (Fig. 30, E) when searching for a triangulation station.
This figure was hammered in much broader lines than usual; the
channels were smooth, but the impression gained was that it was
a modern piece of work.

When at Honaunau, many enquiries were made for the
pictures on the rocks, and a story was told of a number of stars
being carved on an immense upright slab, which had since been
overturned by a tidal wave and then lay pictured side down.
Farley'™t mentions petroglyphs at Honaunau representing Kamala-
lawalu and his dogs, but after many enquiries without success,
the writer concluded that there had been confusion in the localities
of Kahaluu and Honaunau, especially as Farley also said that
Kalakaua tried to remove some. However, a number of people
have since been met who have seen the gravings. Dr. N. B.
Emerson of Honolulu described them to the writer as having
triangular bodies.

Kau.—At Ka Lae, the south cape of Hawaii, no petroglyphs
were seen, but information had previously been received from
Mr. J. S. Emerson, formerly a government surveyor, that holes
had been drilled by the natives in the rocks at the water’s edge to
provide moorings for their canoes. Each mooring was found to
consist of two conical holes drilled near the edge, on the top and
side of a boulder, at right angle to each other and meeting at about
2.5 inches from the surfaces. The holes tapered inward from a

diameter of 2.5 inches to .5 inch, where they met. Four pairs of
finished holes were seen, and one partly drilled.

In a cave on a mountain a little to the north-west of Waiohinu
petroglyphs were reported, but the native engaged as a guide
failed to appear, and consequently these were missed.

About two miles to the south of Naalehu on the east wall of
a lava tunnel were found the petroglyphs (Figs. 21, 22) described
by Westervelt.'5 The graving had been done by chipping away

eG p22

the white deposit on the surface of the black lava walls. This
deposit, when hammered, crumbled irregularly, on account of
which perhaps the workmanship lacked the symmetry and even
finish noted at other places. Besides the more common single-
lined forms, some with outlined and solid bodies may be noticed.
In the middle of Fig. 22 may be seen a petroglyph of a male with
three-toed feet. To the right of the middle of Fig. 21 are three
short parallel strokes—an unusual occurrence, but noted elsewhere
by Judd and Kramer.

Scattered along the low lava shore between Ninole and
Punaluu, and above the sea, were several small petroglyphs of
the more common form. About two miles east of Punaluu and
one hundred yards from the sea were several scattered groups
(Figs. 23-28) within a radius of fifty feet, and not more than one

hundred and fifty feet from the trail. They had been graven to a
depth of .15 inch in the smooth portions of an old lava flow. The
grooves were not smooth, the surface being brittle. Here for the
first time the writer met with a definite animal form, in the figure
of a fish 18 inches long (Fig. 25). A circle, 8 inches in diameter
was also seen. It was this coast that Ellis referred to when de-
scribing the petroglyphs he saw, but the writer was not fortunate

enough to find any of the semicircles or concentric rings. The
[276]

Notes on Hawatian Petroglyphs. 53

carvings at this place were few, but novel. In Fig. 23 is one, 3

inches long, with five-fingered hands sheltering three small ab-
normally fashioned glyphs; at the base of its neck was a distinct
line stretching above its right shoulder. It might tell the story
of a large and valiant man struck with a spear while defending
his children or less capable fellows. Another, Fig. 24, with its
lewer half omitted, reached down with a four-fingered hand in the
direction of a pair of children. ‘Two other petroglyphs in this en-

FIG. 29.

vironment, Fig. 27, 16 inches long and Fig. 26 are peculiar from
the fact*that eyes were represented without head outlines. The
ancient native trail leading past this spot to Punaluu crossed a
flow of aa. To add to the comfort of the barefooted traveler, a
line of smooth water-worn stones had been placed on the sharp
clinkers about two and one-half feet apart. On one of these stones
a small graving was seen (Fig. 29). It is now in the Bishop
Museum. The figure is of a common form, length 7 inches, but
graved in shallower channels than is usual—only .o05 inch deep.
The head is .2 inch deeper. The slight depth may be accounted for
by the extremely hard surface of the stone. To make the petro-
glyph distinct in the photograph, the finger was wetted and passed
along the grooves of the figure before exposing the plate.

54 Director's Annual Report.

After leaving Punaluu, the writer passed through Pahala,
but time was too limited to allow a search for, and examination of
the petroglyphs discovered by Mr. Walton at the latter place to be
made. However, Judd describes and illustrates a number of them.

Puna.—On the lower trail from Kau is a footprint, 16 inches
long, clearly cut to the depth of .4 inch. It is well proportioned
and shows the wide-spreading toes of the native foot undeformed
by boots. It is known as Nihau’s foot. A few other gravings
were found near the spot, one to the south and off the road
(Fig. 30, A), and three others along the trail to the east (Fig. 30,

ey, =
C8

AMZ OTE

B, Cand p). Continuing on the trail, distinct, but not very deeply
cut, marks were observed which might have been intended for the
chart of a constellation (Fig. 31). The group was about.six feet
long. Fornander frequently mentions that the Hawaiians had
more than a passing knowledge of the heavenly bodies.

It had been reported that petroglyphs were to be seen at the
heiau of Kuki1 in Kapoho, but Mr. Henry Lyman, who had spent
a great part of his life at that place, had not seenthem. However,
he kindly showed me a natural crack in a rock, which he told me
a previous visitor had claimed was an Aztec character.

Hilo.—Mr. Rufus Lyman informed the writer that on the
Wailuku river, to the east of the ‘‘Potholes,’’ an old native had

shown him marks which were intended to represent the sun, moon
[278]
276

and stars. This was more than thirty years ago, and to reveal
them it was then necessary for the native to remove the earth and
vegetation from the ledge of stone forming the bank of the stream.
While working in the neighborhood the writer made an unsuc-
cessful search for them.

Kohala.—At Puuanahulu in South Kohala, when passing
along a trail late one afternoon, the remarkable sight of a couple of
acres of pahoehoe closely covered with petroglyphs was experi-

enced. ‘The failing light necessitated time exposures with the
camera, and as many photographs were taken as the few available
minutes would permit (Figs. 32-39). Most unfortunately the time
limit of the expedition had been reached and the writer knew that
it would be impossible to return to the spot during that season.
He was therefore reluctantly compelled to content himself with
a very brief survey of the most interesting field before him and
the intention to return and carry out an extended investigation at
the earliest opportunity.

With the careful study of the illustrations, many new forms
may be seen. One striking peculiarity was the use of irregularly
circular lines for the inclusion or separation of groups of petro-
glyphs, perhaps for the purpose of limiting or defining a particular
record. ‘There were forms innumerable, forms not suggestive of the
human or animal, which from this grouping could leave but little
doubt that they told a connected story. They left a strong impres-
sion that the Hawaiians had made a decided advance towards a
written language. Ellis’ concentric rings were here aplenty, and
cup-marks, isolated and grouped. Mostly on the outskirts of this
interesting area were many names of Hawaiians, sometimes dated,
and more initials. It seemed to have been a time-honored place
for recording events. The place had been isolated by the flow
of lava in 1859 and is not easy of approach. It is doubtful if
Ellis visited this spot, though he landed at ‘‘Wainanarii’’ (now
unknown) two hours canoe journey from Kiholo. If we call this
distance nine miles, it would mean that he landed within a mile
of the petroglyphs. Ellis rested at ‘‘Wainanarii’’ a few hours,
and merely mentioned that as it was Saturday he found the natives
spending their time preparing for the Sabbath. It is most regret-
table that Ellis did not continue his journey a little inland, as had
that careful and accurate observer seen the petroglyphs at Puuana-
hulu, Hawaiian ethnology would probably be richer today by the
explanations and views of the natives of his time.

Molokai.—Molokai was visited in the middle of 1909. At
Puu Hakina, towards the south-west corner of the island, and
about two miles north-west of Hale o Lono isa low, rocky hillock.
On the top of the rise were three stones standing in line, each
marked with shallow cut figures on the vertical side facing the
south (Fig. 40). The figures were not marked before photograph-
ing. The index finger of the man holding the tape is one foot from
the lower part of the wire. The most striking form in this series
is that of a male on the middle stone; in addition to a wide, taper-
ing trunk and twisted limbs, it has an oval loop reaching from the
neck high above the head. Below these stones and about fifteen
feet to the south is a terrace artificially walled up. Fig. 41 shows
the wall faintly, and three men sitting on the graved stones. Mr.

John Burrows, keeper of the lighthouse on the south-west cape,
first noticed these figures in 1891, and said that they looked as dis-
tinct then as when he showed them to the writer.

Kalaina wawae (Figs. 42-45) were seen on an ancient high-
way along the north side of the island. ‘The spot is one and one-
half miles west of the Momomi huts and one-half mile from the
sea. Here ona slope of air-formed sandstone were numerous ob-
long depressions, said to represent human footprints. The legend

FIG. AT.

extant concerning the cause and origin of these marks, was to the
effect that Kalaina, a prophetess (or as the narrator quaintly ex-
pressed it, a crazy woman) lived at Momomi nearby. One day she
went to the trail and made two box-like hollows in its surface.
The next day she called the people to the place and showed them
her work. ‘‘See what I have done! Bye and bye people will
come from the sea with feet like these.’’ It is said that this an-
nouncement was a prophecy of the arrival of the boot-wearing
Caucasian. On this account the place has since been known as
Kalaina wawae—Kalaina’s feet. Following this event, visitors
from other parts of Molokai and the other islands of the group
have been accustomed to leave their marks in similar form when
traveling along the road. This account was received from one

man. Another said that he had heard of the footprints being

made by visitors to Momomi from the rest of Molokai and the other
islands.

If credence is to be given to these accounts, and there is no
reason why it should not be, then a definite minimum limit of age
can be placed on the origin of the custom.

FIG. 42. SLAB OF SANDSTONE SHOWING ‘‘FOOTPRINTS.’’

An estimate of the number made, taken from the worn down
and almost obliterated traces, would be above five hundred. Very
frequently they were in pairs. The majority were just about
12 inches long, and none were found appreciably longer. There
were quite a few 9 inches long, and one pair 4 inches long; in

depth they varied from .5 inch to 2 inches. Toed ‘‘foot-prints’’
[287]

64 Director's Annual Report.

were only found in four instances, and one pair had deeper depres-
sions at one end which might have represented heels of boots.
In all but two instances noticed, the marks are hollows of such a
shape and size as a native might make by outlining his or her bare
foot (or sometimes sandal) on the sandstone and wearing down the
enclosed area by hammering the surface with a hard substance.
As one possible bit of evidence that the abrasion was done in the
manner described it might be mentioned that a flat oblong piece

FIG. 43. OUTLINED ‘‘FOOTPRINTS.”’

of hard basalt (Fig. 46) was found on the trail among the ‘‘foot-
prints.”” It was 5 inches long, 3 inches wide and 135 imemes
thick, with the ends worn and rounded as might well have been
done by repeated blows on the sandstone. It weighed 25 ounces
and rested comfortably in the hand as a striking implement.
The sandstone, while soft enough six inches below the surface to
be crumbled between the fingers, was yet too firm to be rubbed
away by the hand where exposed to the weather. ‘The surface
was broken very readily, however, when pounded with a stone.
The two exceptions noted above are feet merely outlined
(Fig. 43) and not intended to be hollowed. The complete out-

line in the illustration is 12 inches long.
[288 ]

Notes on Hawatian Petroglyphs. 65

During the past forty or fifty years the ancient road has been
mainly used by cattle traveling to and from the uplands on the
west, and the animals’ hoofs wearing down the sandstone have
almost obliterated the majority of the carvings. Fortunately a
little to the south side of the trail, several blocks of the footprints
were found in comparatively good condition, and through the
kindness and assistance of Mr. Geo. P. Cooke, the manager of the

FIG. 44.

Molokai Ranch on whose property the trail lies, three slabs (Figs.
42-44) were cut out and sent to the Bishop Museum. A fourth
(Fig. 45) was left, walled in, as it was considered impracticable to
remove it with advantage on account of its size and the crumbly
condition of the stone.

Judd refers to these footprints, and also faint remains of
petroglyphs representing the human form. ‘Trace of only one was
seen by the writer, but a visit ata different time of day with a slant-
ing light would probably give more. It was somewhat pleasing
to note an absence of names and initials.

About the middle of the north side of Molokai is a hill called
variously Kaulana-hoa by Fornander, Puu Nanahoa by Brigham

Oc. P., B. P. B.M., Vor.IV.No.4.—5. [289]

and Judd, Puu Lua by the Government Survey. A number of
boulders cover the top, and on them are many faint petroglyphs.
Fornander” saw in two of them the double trident of Siwa, and on
this account associated the gravings with phallic worship. I cannot
say that Fornander’s surmise is not correct, but the figures I saw
looked more like the representation of a male with raised arms.
Kramer and Judd describe and illustrate a number of the petro-
glyphs, adding to the forms already noted herein, figures with
six limbs.

Oahu.—Thrum and Judd’ describe petroglyphs on the ceil-
ing and floor of a sea-worn cave (Fig. 47) in the tufaceous side of
Koko crater, at the east end of the island. Since then one of the
figures has been cut out and removed. ‘There is a smaller cave in
the same hill, one-quarter of a mile to the south, and on the ceil-
ing of this is part of one of the common form of carvings.

At Helemano, in Waialua, Mathison saw a stone covered
with petroglyphs, of which he gives an illustration of a draw-

ing taken on the spot. A copy may be seen in the Hawaiian
Aunuals for 1898, page 122, and 1904, page 180. While some of
the pictures may pass for Hawaiian work, others do not resemble
anything yet noticed in this group, nor in Mallery’s splendid
record of pictographic writing. A cannibalistic foreigner is re-
puted to have used this stone as a platter, and Dr. Alexander, a
noted authority on Hawaiian history, expressed the opinion to the
writer that the man wasa Marquesan. Petroglyphs found in those
islands may throw some light on the subject. The stone is be-
lieved to have been demolished in 1895.

FIG. 46. STONE FOR MAKING ‘‘FOUTPRINTS.”’’

Kauai.— From this island come interesting accounts by Far-
ley and Judd of petroglyphs on the beach at Keoneloa, near Koloa.
Farley counted seventy-six figures measuring from 1 to 6.5 feet,
and Judd later observed others which brought the maximum meas-
urement up to 7 feet. These do not by any means constitute the
entire number at that place, as it is reported that there are still
large tracts of petroglyphs covered by the beach sand. ‘Those ex-
amined had been laid bare by the waves during a storm. Farley
also gives an account, by an old Hawaiian woman, of these having
been seen by her in 1847 when accompanied by her school teacher,
her fellow pupils and two Roman Catholic priests, and of the ex-
istence of figures of birds and fish, and an un-Hawatian vessel with

strange animals in it. The investigations carried on at that time,
according to the old woman, resulted in the information being
gathered that, while the Hawaiians of the day had seen the pic-
tures, they neither knew who made them, nor why they were done.

FIG. 47. SEA-WORN CAVE ON EAST SIDE OF KOKO CRATER.

Through the kindness of Mr. Judd, rubbings of five figures on
the rocks at Papalinahoa, Nawiliwili Bay, made by his brother
Charles in 1906, have been given to the Museum, and are illus-

striking, viz., ‘‘D’’ armless, and with the outlines of the triangular
body not joining at the hips, but continued into the legs; and
Fig. ‘‘A’’ with the bulbous solid trunk also armless. The latter
may represent a male, or an ‘e carried on a pole.

I am indebted to Dr. E. S. Goodhue of Hawaii, formerly of
Kauai, for the information that there is a sculptured rock on the
southern side of Kauai, inland. For those who may be interested
and live near the spot, his directions are repeated. The stone is
large and conspicuous, about one hundred and fifty feet makaz of

on the top of the hill going down into Lawai gulch. It is about
opposite the juncture of the Lihue and Koloa roads.

From the Polynesians, excepting the New Zealanders, Easter
Islanders and Hawaiians, the writer has information of but two
specimens of rock-carvings. Fig. 49 will show a slab of compact
basalt, twenty-five inches ae and four thick, from Tubuai,

Austral Islands, collected for the Museum by Mr. Seale in 1902.
The channels are .1 inch deep and .6 inch wide, and had been
slightly scratched by a pointed tool (as may be seen in the illustra-
tion) before the specimen reached the Museum. It was broken
from the smallest of a circle of upright stones, all similarly
graved. The surface of the stone has been bleached to a depth

varying from .1 to .3 inch by weathering and makes a strong con-
trast with the almost black stone showing at the broken edge.
The bleached part is naturally softer than the interior, and if this
skin had been penetrated by the graving in order to bring out the
contrast of the dark and the light, the weather has since made the
whole surface uniform.

The other instance is of several petroglyphs on a large stone in
Borabora, Society Islands. A postal card illustrating these was
given to the writer, in answer to enquiries for rock-carvings in the
South Pacific, by an officer of ee French cruiser ‘‘Protet,’’ and I

much regret that his name has slipped my memory. ‘These petro-
glyphs (Fig. 50) show a workmanship which seems to far surpass
that of the Hawaiians, and it is hoped that some investigation may °
soon be carried on in this interesting field, if it has not been done
already. All the literature relating to the southern islands, which
has so far been delved into, is silent on the subject.

At the present stage of investigation of Hawaiian petroglyphs
and with meagre information concerning them gleaned from native
sources, it seems premature to attempt an explanation of the
objects or uses to which these primitive or literary efforts may
have been applied.

Summary of the Collection of Insects
in the Museum.
By OTTo H. SwWEZEy, M.S.

THE Bishop Museum portion of the insects collected by Dr.
Rk. C. L. Perkins has hitherto been stored in the original boxes in
which they were returned from England, after having been worked
up, but during the years 1908 and 1909 they have mostly been
transferred to exhibition drawers of the Museum cases at the
north end of the first gallery of Hawaiian Hall, where they
are convenient of access to those wishing to see or study them.
Additional instalments were received during 1909, and these are
as yet retained in store boxes. The //emzpteva have not yet been
received, and there are possibly a few yet to come of some of the
other orders. ‘Those on hand at present are summarized on the
following page.

A small exhibit of unnamed Japanese insects given by Mr.
G. P. Wilder comprises the following: Hymenoptera, 34 speci-
mens; Lepidoptera, 259 specimens; Coleoptera, 158 specimens;
Flemiptera, 15 specimens. eae 466 specimens.

BISHOP MOSECM.

Strs:—The present Report ts presented in accordance with
the new rules adopted by the Trustees on December 15, 1910.
These rules read as follows : —

ZI. Director's Annual Report. While no definite instructions
appear of record tn the minutes from the Trustees to the Director
regarding his Annual Report, the custom exists for the Director
each year to present to the Trustees a written report of the work
done tn the Museum by the Director and the Staff, which report
after acceptance by the Trustees ts published. The Annual
Report of the Direétor is a record of work accomplished. All
recommendations by the Director looking toward the enlargement
of the scope of the Museum or any increase in the field of the
Staff's activities, should be made the subject of separate reports
to the Trustees.

2. Reports by members of the Staff. At the close of each
Museum year, each Curator shall report in writing to the
Director concerning the work done by him or in his department

URING the whole year.1910, work on the new Laboratory
|) building continued and on December 31, it was still incom-

plete. In spite of this necessary disturbance, the various
departments made fair progress.

Mr. J. W. Thompson, our Modeler, has continued his very
excellent work in casting the fishes and coloring these casts ina
way that provoked from so competent a judge as President David
Starr Jordan, the statement that these painted casts were far better
than any paintings of fish he had seen for study and identification.
The same authority pronounced our collection of Hawaiian fishes
in casts of the greatest value. Many casts of fruit, and of stone
and wooden implements, have also been made.

The record of the Printery is not impressive, although there
has been no lack of good work; the only publication issued was
the last Annual Report. This, in addition to the report, contained
in the appendix illustrated articles on Hawaiian Curved Adzes
by the Director; Notes on Hawaiian Petroglyphs, I, by the Curator
of Polynesian Ethnology; New Hawaiian Plants, II, by the
Curator of Botany. The Press has been busy on the many labels
required by a growing Museum, and also on the third volume of
the Memoirs, which was not completed by the end of the year,
certain studies by the Director, on the Museum collection of kapa,
having to await the accommodations of the new workrooms, this
entailing a delay of six months in the publication of this volume.

In the Library, the increase has been both considerable and
valuable, as may be seen by the list of accessions. Much binding

of exchanges and other publications issued in parts, has been
[303]

accomplished by the liberal appropriations of the Trustees. In
May, we lost the services of Miss Schupp, who had charge of the
Library for several years, as she became Mrs. Paul Messchaert.
Until September, when her successor took office, Mr. Stokes had
charge. I would here record our entire satisfaction with Miss
Schupp’s work and the regret of the entire Staff at her departure.
Miss E. B. Higgins has been Librarian since September, 1910.

In the department of Entomology, Mr. Swezey has done much
work in arranging and relabelling the extensive collection of
Hawaiian insects. He reports this as in good preservation.

In the department ot Ethnology, Mr. Stokes has continued
his researches on Hawaiian Fish-ponds and Walled Fish-traps,
visiting Molokai and taking measurements and photographs from
Kaumanamana to Kaluaaha on the southern coast. This inves-
tigation has been extended over the other Hawaiian islands, and
by correspondence to the other Polynesian groups. I regard this
work as of special importance as modern changes in the methods
of fish capture and preservation, and the new demands of commerce
and war preparation, are destroying these ancient constructions,
and the knowledge of their use is fast vanishing from the memories
of the old Hawaiians, and by the correspondence, we find that
even on the other groups, little can now be gathered. In addition
to the care of the Library as mentioned already, Mr. Stokes had
entire charge of the Museum, during the absence of the Director
from the islands, for five weeks.

Of the gifts to the Museum, one by Rev. W. D. Westervelt,
of specimens in stone and pottery collected by him in Mexico,
deserves special mention. Among the loan collections, is a very
interesting one of relics of the Alii, deposited by Her Majesty
Liliuokalani.

In the department of Pulmonata, Dr. Cooke reports the num-
ber of Pulmonata added to the collections during the year, was

24204 catalogued under 1811 numbers; 19501 by the Curator; 2368
[304]

Lirrector's Annual Report. 5

by Mr. C. N. Forbes of the Staff; and 2335 by others. Forty-one
days were spent in the field, and eighty-six localities visited on
Molokai, Kauai and West Maui. Specimens were received from
the following collectors :— Prof. H. EK. Crampton, J. Waterhouse,
eopaliding, H. Meyer, D. Thaanum, E. Deverill, A. F. Judd,
R. von Holt, C. H. and R. A. Cooke. Various papers on concho-
logical subjects, have been contributed to Pilsbry’s Manual of
Conchology.

In the department of Botany, the field work includes a visit to
Maui, extending from the latter part of May, to the early part of
August, during which a week was spent in camping in the crater
of Haleakala, where fine specimens of the Silversword were
obtained in flower. The summit peak of West Maui was explored,
also the valleys and ridges back of Lahaina and Wailuku and the
Hana region, with Nahiku and the country between Keanae and
Kipahulu. The Curator Mr. Forbes, reports his work much
expedited by the kindness of Messrs. C. J. Austin, W. H. Field,
H. J. Howell, C. EH. Meyers, L. von Tempsky and W. Weinz-
heimer. On Oahu the field work has been mainly among the
valleys and ridges of the western division. Exchanges have been
continued with the Botanic Garden at Sydney, N. S. W., with
Mr. E. D. Merrill of the Bureau of Science, Manila; with the
Herbarium of Prince Roland Bonaparte, Paris. A valuable
collection of 300 Philippine plants was purchased from the col-
lector Mr. A. D. E. Elmer, who is making the most important
collections in the Philippine Islands at present. Specimens have
been added to the Herbarium also by Messrs J. M. Lydgate and
J. W. Thompson.

The attendance for the year is smaller than last year by 834;
the total of whites is 734 greater than last year, and there is an
increase in all nationalities, except the Japanese who fall behind

last year’s record by 1885, accounting for the total deficit.

Notes on the Naturalized Flora of the

Hawatian Islands.

By CHARLES N. FORBES.

THE following plants are mainly species not recorded in
Hillebrand’s Flora,’ the majority of them having probably be-
come naturalized since 1886. ‘The only record of the naturalized
plants which we have had since that time is an addition of a few
species in an article by Heller. In order to make these notes
complete these species are again mentioned in this paper. It is
the intention to continue the notes at irregular intervals as
material accumulates.

The naturalized flora occupies the lower valleys and plains,
the number of indigenous plants in these localities at present be-
ing insignificant. This flora is:rapidly encroaching on the native
forest, especially where its conditions are changed by fires or
grazing. Introduced weeds appear along new trails through the
native forest in from two to three weeks in places where it would
be impossible to find them before. In the unforested sections of
the islands, as a large proportion of the slopes of Haleakala on
Maui, naturalized plants occur to the very summit (10,000 feet).
A few of the naturalized plants as Crepis japonica are an excep-
tion to the rule, in that they occur in the dense forest and are
rarely found on the plains; and perhaps a few of the plants con-

sidered as indigenous may belong in this category.

RANUNCULACEAE.

Ranunculus parviflorus L.
Ranunculus parviflorus V., Sp. Pl., 1763, Ed. ii, 780.

In the forest below Kaalapuuwale on the slopes of Hualalai
on the island of Hawaii, occurs a species of Ranunculus which
I refer to the above. This diffuse plant with minute yellow flowers
and hispid carpels covers many acres; mainly in the dead Koa
forest, although some specimens were found in virgin forest.
This place is also a locality for R. mauiensis, the two species
often growing close together; while within a mile can be found
R. hawaiiensis, the other native species. My determination is
based on the description found in Britton and Brown’s Flora of
the Northern States and Canada.

ROSACEAE.
Rosa sp.

A small flowered multi-petalled rose is well established on
Hawaii and in certain places on Maui. On Hawaii it is known
as the volcano rose, as it is especially common on the road to the
volcano of Kilauea. Dr. W. T. Brigham observed this rose more
than forty years ago along the trail to the Kapena Falls on Oahu;
and he believes it may have been taken to the other islands from
this locality. It has not become naturalized on Oahu.
