 ance to illustrate the Pacific Region.

 A Samoan Upete of wood cylindrical surface, 40 inches long, was 

 interesting. A Fijian Yaqona bowl; New Guinea clubs of usual

Mr. W. H. Holmes, the Curator and Mr. G. A. Dorsey his 

 Assistant were both very courteous in showing the museum. The 

 Anthropological arrangements in charge of the latter, were well 

 planned and thoroughly carried out. It is to be hoped that such 

 valuable collecftions maj^ soon have a building more substantial 

 than the one left by the late Columbian Exhibition.
