8 Director s Annua! Report. 



"One of the most remarkable finds of the year was made by Mr. 

 Frank Greenwell, of two species of tree-shells on the slopes of Hii- 

 alalai. I wish also to mention the collection made by Mr. Forbes 

 on the island of Lanai. This collection numbered nearly 5,000 

 specimens, many of the minute species being new to the island." 



F'rom the Curator of Ivthnology I have received a report on 

 the year's work in his department which is exceedingly interest- 

 ing, but as he intends to publish the results of his explorations 

 later, when completed, I give but a brief extract. The list of ac- 

 quisitions is to be illustrated by engravings of some of the more 

 remarkable specimens. 



Of gifts: we received from Miss Breckons a large wooden 

 image found on Kauai, in a remarkable state of preservation. 

 Messrs. A. F. Judd and R. A. Cooke added specimens found on 

 Molokai. Other gifts were received from the Dominion Museum, 

 Wellington, N. Z.; Rev. W. D. Westervelt, Mr. Patrick Walsh, 

 Executors of the late A. S. Cleghorn and Mr. C. F. Maxwell. 



Of purchases: the feather cloak and cape belonging to the 

 Joy family in Boston (figured in Memoirs I, Plate XII) were se- 

 cured. A valuable collection of war implements from Nine was 

 purchased from Mr. C. F. Maxwell, formerly British Commissioner 

 from that island; these are figured later in the lists. A Korean 

 who has brought us several small coUecflions from Mokapu during 

 recent years, brought us yet another. 



Of loans: the number has most satisfactorily increased. Mr. 

 G. P. Cooke has sent us 16 specimens from Molokai, Mr. Wm. 

 Wagner 6 from Hawaii, Mr. D. Thaanum 11 from various parts of 

 the group, Mr. W. D. McBride 2 stone club heads, Mr. Harrj^ 

 Gregson a stone pikoi of unusual form, and Mr. G. O. Cooper a 

 stick idol from Hawaii. These will be illustrated in the general 

 list of acquisitions. The collecflion of Edgar Henriques has been 

 catalogued under the Curator's supervision and 251 of the speci- 

 mens are already arranged in a separate case in the upper gallery 

 of Hawaiian Hall. Some interesting illustrations of these will be 

 found in the lists below. .
