l8r. EDWARD S. MORSE, DIRECTOR. 



tions of the Essex Institute are deposited here. The moving spirit 

 in all these has been Edward S. Morse, and while his interest has 

 been mainly biological and artistic, he has always been ready to 

 assist in any ethnological matter, as I have found to my advantage. 

 The museum rooms do not show the very latest styles in cases, 

 but are painted white and so are light, while the collections are 

 well arranged, and carefully preserved. The third of the great 

 Hawaiian images (Fig. 248) is here, the others being in the British 

 and Bishop Museums. [3 8 5]
