HAWAIIAN STONE IMPLEMENTS. 



Of those in the Bishop Museum tlie largest is five inches in diameter and three inches 

 tliick ; it weighs forty-four ounces ; the smallest is one and seven-eighths inches in diam- 

 eter and weighs three and one-half ounces. That the thickness of the disk bears no 

 definite relation to the diameter may be seen in Fig. 69. Some of the best ulu are 

 shown in Figs. 67 and 68, and the following table will give the size and weight : — 



Figure 67. 



Figure 68. 



These forty-four ulu have been seledled from the large number in the Bishop 



Museum (see Fig. 69 for others) solely on account of their fine finish, and they will 



probably fairly represent the forms used by the best players. I am puzzled bj- the 



unsymmetrical specimen No. 917, for it is difficult, if not impossible to roll it straight. 



Did the ancient Hawaiians have "trick bowls"?
