 special grace of their own. It may be noted that the barnyard fowl was brought to 

 these islands by the early Poh-nesian immigrants, and they were common enough at 

 the time of Cook. While these birds have not run wild like tlie turkeys, I once found 

 a hen sitting in the midst of a bird's nest fern \.lsplciiiiiiii ii!<his\ growing on the 

 horizontal branch of a tree some twenty feet from the ground, and at least four miles 

 removed from any human habitation. British Museum. Fig. 69. 



26. Cape or tippet of iiwi with 00 ornaments, one small crescent and two semi- 

 crescents extending the width of the cape and united by the apices. Length, about 

 16 inches; neck, 26 inches; front, 8.5 and 9.5 inches. Fig. 70. British Museum. 

 This looks like the beginning of a larger cape, and in this and the next specimen there 

 is no basal border.
