THE FULLER CAPE. 

 In the private collection of my friend Mr. A. W. F. Fuller of Sydenham Hill, 

 London, is a cape with an interesting history which he had secured a little while before 

 my visit to him in 1912. It was brought to England in 1821 by Kamamalu (wife and

mond (ytice Caroline Paget). She gave it to Mr. E. Humphrey who had a collection of 

 such curiosities, and he left it at his death to his nephew Mr. Humphrey L. Freeland, 

 Member of Parliament for the city of Chichester. On the twenty-fourth of February, 

 1853, he (Freeland) presented it to the Chichester Museum, where it hung in the open 

 exposed to dust and moth for about twenty-five years until it -was placed in a case by 

 the Rev. A. Fuller, father of the present owner, who was then acting as Honorary 

 Curator. On the fourth of June, 1912, it passed into the collection of Mr. A. W. F. 

 Fuller with the entire ethnological collection of the Chichester Museum.
