 thirst by its pleasant aromatic flavor. The 

 Hawaiians recognize six or seven varieties 

 of awa all of which are regarded by botan- 

 ists as forms of the one species. Awa from 

 Puna, Hawaii, was considered of the best 

 qualit.v. In former times the drink was used 

 almost exclusively by the chiefs. Later, it 

 came to be a prevalent habit among old na- 

 tives, and awa drinking is still quite com- 

 mon throughout the group in native settle- 

 ments. The object of drinking is primarily 

 to produce stupification. The drink is made 

 from either the fresh or drv roots. The 

 regular drink was one cup full from a cocoa- 

 nut cup. cut lengthwise of the nut. The 

 plant is au upland growth and is found 

 where the ground is both damp and shady.
