have been sacrificed during its gradual making and extension, when the sundry nionarchs 

 by whom it has been worn in succession, wrapped themselves with its folds as their in- 

 signia of authority .... Tamatoa has cast off this relic of idolatry and sent it as another 

 trophy of the gospel victories here, to the museum of the London Missionary' Society." "' 



Ahuula. — Before describing the additional ahuula there 

 are several corrections to be made in the former list. Oi the 

 cloak numbered 22 (Fig. 66, p. 63) I am able, bj- the kindness of 

 Dr. von Fellenberg, who has sent me a water-color sketch, to . 



present a more accurate diagram (Fig. 12) than the one on t^!^^j:^/^;y:--[^^<:'r'y':', 

 page 63. To No. 76 (Fig. 104, p. 77) should be added ^^ ^^\':!i'i-c/y^-::):f^^:^^fM

 the bottom, 9 feet i inch; length of side, 4 feet; total length, ' 



4 feet, 3 inches. No. 90 (Fig. 112, p. 79) was wrongly attributed 

 to the British Museum: it belongs to J. Edge-Partington, Esq. 

 The mistake arose from the inclusion of a drawing of this in 

 a parcel containing those of the Museum specimens. Nos. 92 fig. 9. mahiolk .-vt 

 and 93 are now in the Dresden Museum, Dr. A. B. Mejer berne. 



writes me. Of No. 94 I am now able to add an illustration ( Plate LXVIL, lower figure.) 

 and the following particulars: It has a neck border of red and yellow feathers, while 



the rest is covered 

 with long black 

 feathers ( Frcgata 

 a q It I la / ). The 

 front edge is S.5 

 inches long, and 

 the total length 17 

 inches. No. 96 is 

 now rotting in the 

 royal mausoleum 

 in NuuanuValle}-. 

 No. 98 must prob- 

 ably' be cancelled, 

 for I am assured 



b}' residents of York that thej- have never heard of an}- feather cape there. No. 100 

 should be corrected to St. Augustine College, Canterbur}-. The abbreviation Cant, being 

 common to Cantabrigje and Canterbury led to the error. I have written to this Theo- 

 logical College, but have received no answer, so can add nothing to the statement on 

 page 81. The additions to be added to the list are the following: 



'Tyernian and Beiinet. from whose narrative this is quoted (ii.. 125), unfortunate]}' were I>y no means trustworthy in all respects, if 

 their account of matters and customs at the Hawaiian Islands are any criterion. Like the Hawaiian malo this has disappeared. ,\11 the 

 ethnological specimens of the Society were deposited in the British Museum, but my friend J. Edge-Partington has been unable to find 

 anv traces of it in that Museum. I447 [
