size. A third specimen in the same line is shown in Fig. 12, in 

 which the somewhat larger bowl seems to have been used for a 

 liquid, having an exit through the mouth of one of the figures. 



There are two of the Necker 

 Island stone figures , thelarger 

 18 inches high, the other the 

 smallest known (Fig. 13). 

 Those in the Bishop Museum 

 have been described and fig- 

 ured (Memoirs, I, pi. lxii). 

 Of the wooden gods besides 

 the large one figured in Oc- 

 casional Papers, I, pi. xiv, 

 there are two others note- 

 worthy : one (Fig. 14) was 

 obtained by Messrs. Tyer- 

 maim and Bennett from a 

 heiau at Kailua, Hawaii, and 

 is 47.5 inches high ; the other 

 (Fig. 15) is much broken, is 

 54 inches high, and seems to 

 represent a female form, al- 

 though the features seem 

 hardly those of the gentler 

 sex ; it was obtained from a 

 heiau. To these may be add- 

 ed the little god 12.8 inches 

 high (Fig. 16) which has an 

 expression hardly god-like. 

 A New Zealand trumpet 

 25.7 inches long (Fig. 17) 

 has the flare beautifully carved ; these trumpets were usually 

 carved in two pieces and fitted neatly together longitudinally; 

 they are far from common in collections. 



The Natural History Museum at Kensington has expanded 

 far more than the public exhibits show, but these last include more 

 of the well-mounted bird groups than before, and among animals 



the okapi is conspicuous. Series illustrating evolution, and es-
