B RICH AM ON HAWAIIAN FEATHER WORK. 



Punahou. It was then in fair condition, but now is greatly dilapidated. The height 

 is 2 2 inclies. Instead of a crest there is a wig of human hair of a reddish tone, and 

 the mahiole is long and curl}-. The substrudlure is of the usual form and material, 

 and the olona net is now much torn and loosened from the wicker work; while the 

 featliers, which were originally red, have mostl_v disappeared. The eyebrows were 



l)lack and the base of the neck yellow. Ea'CS as in 

 the previous description, but the pupil fastened in 

 in the way shown in Fig. 29, A. There are 74 dog 

 teeth, 40 in the upper and 34 in the lower jaw; 

 these are all filed at the points, or perhaps worn. 

 The base is broken and without trace of feathers. 

 Given to the Bishop Museum by the trustees of 

 Oahu College. 



3. A head originally in the Cook collec- 

 tion, now in the kaiserlich-koniglich naturhi.s- 

 torische Hofmuseum at Vienna. Of all known 

 Kukailimoku this has the most benignant expres- 

 sion, if such a quality can be predicated of an 

 object so removed from correct human form. It is 

 in good order and quite like No. i in construAion. 

 Red, with yellow trimmings and black eyebrows.

4. A curious variation. Fig. 24, originally 

 in the collection of ]\Ir. Geo. Goodman Hewitt, 

 surgeon's first mate on Vancouver's ship. It re- 

 mained in the possession of his famil}' until 1890, 

 when the colle(5lion of which it was a part was . 

 purchased by the late Sir A. Wollaston Franks, 

 and by him presented to the British Museum. The frame is 39 inches high, covered 

 with neatlv-fitting olona net, to which are attached in the usual way red iiwi for the 

 principal covering, the crest and base of neck being of the usual j-ellow 00. A ^-ellow- 

 and black sqiiare marks the place for the ears, and there is a narrow black line of 00 

 on each side of the curious projeAion beneath the crest. The right eye alone remains, 

 a crescent of pearl shell not perforated as in all the other examples, and so having no 

 black pupil, but now cracked across the middle. The teeth are from dogs, and there 

 is a very prominent "Adam's apple" on the long neck. Mr. Dalton, of the British
