Munich was next visited. Here the konigliche ethiiologis- 

 che Museum is in the charge of the well-known scientist and trav- 

 eler Dr. Max Biichner. The Bavarian capital is famous for its pub- 

 lic buildings but many of them are only architecftural displays with 

 little capacity or convenience between the walls, and in one of these 

 is housed the Bavarian Ethnological Museum. This is especially 

 rich in Chinese and Japanese material, but there are also not a few 

 good things from the Pacific Region, as follows: — 

 Haivaiian Islands.

 From Matty Island in the Admiralty Group were wood dishes, 

 hatchets, and weapons of peculiar and good workmanship. 



The method of making shell-money is clearly shown. The 

 white disks are chipped from Conns, the purple from Cyprcva shells, 

 both by means of an oblong pebble rounded at both ends. Each 

 disk is bored separately by the ordinary pump-drill armed with a 

 quartz splint. Some 200 of these perforated disks are strung on a 

 palm leaf midrib and rolled between flat stones until circular. The 

 arm-rings of Tridacna shell are said to be cut with large bambu
