24 Copenhagen. 



From Berlin the route was via Warnemunde and Gjedser to Cop- 

 enhagen. During the winter the museum is opened only one day 

 each week and, unfortunately, this day was selecfted by H.R.H.the 

 Duke of York and party, as w^ell as by your Diredlor, to visit the 

 colledlions: hence it happened that the accomplished Curator was 

 not available, and, although he said he would send an attendant to 

 open the cases, the contents had to be examined through glass, — 

 the only time this occured after leaving Rome. This was the first 

 museum where a printed catalogue was found and, although this 

 was in Danish, it was not difficult to interpret with the numbered 

 objecfts before one. In the Hawaiian case were several things not 

 belonging to this Group, among them a poi pounder ( of gypsum ) 

 from Micronesia: while a fine ring pounder (pohaku puka) of un- 

 doubted Hawaiian origin was found in the Mexican division label- 

 led "Corn grinder". It should be said that there is a very similar 

 Mexican stone implement used for that purpose. The following 

 were noteworthy: — 



Hawaiian Islands. 

 Feather cloak 57^ in. long, red with yellow border at base and 

 yellow triangles at edges, but so hung that the back is invisible. 

 Feather cape of yellow with dark green crescents and red spots 

 on neck and edges; fine specimen. Cape red with yellow ornam- 

 ents; slightly smaller than the last but both were too far behind 

 the glass to be measured. Helmet in fair condition. Pair Ku- 

 pee ilio. 2 Kahilis with bone and tortoise-shell handles 6 ft. long 



2 Ulumaika. Stone mir-
