4 Director's Annual Report. 
trips to a camp on the mountains above Punaluu and the heights 
of Kaala above Waianae. By his abundant collections we have 
been able to inaugurate the long promised exchange with the 
Botanical Garden at Sydney, N.S. W., and the specimens already 
received in the course of exchange from Australia have been very 
satisfactory. We hope soon to extend our exchanges to New 
Zealand and Fiji. In his work on the Hawaiian Flora he has 
described several new species of considerable interest and his de- 
scriptions are appended to this Report. We hope to be able to 
offer for publication in the Memoirs a decade of little known, 
poorly described or unfigured Hawaiian plants of interest, of many 
of which we have secured satisfactory photographs: the series to 
be continued from time to time as material accumulates. 
While the general activities of the Museum have continued 
to be limited by the absence of any sufficient room for work or 
storage, those energies not so dependent on the Museum Labora- 
tories have progressed satisfactorily. Mr. J. F. G. Stokes, the 
Curator of Polynesian Ethnology, has been able to incorporate 
with the general collection the Deverill collection referred to in the 
last annual Report as purchased for the Museum, and a summary 
catalogue of the same is appended to this Report. In his investi- 
gations of Hawaiian antiquities he, in common with all who have 
been compelled to use the valuable work of Fornander on the 
Polynesian Race, found great annoyance and unnecessary labor 
from the absence of an index to that work which is filled with in- 
formation unskilfully arranged and with no key. ‘To make the 
path easier for future students Mr. Stokes has prepared a most 
elaborate index extending to eighty-six pages as printed in double 
columns, and the Trustees have authorized its printing as an extra 
volume not in our exchange series. The edition is limited to two 
hundred and fifty copies. Dr. W. D. Alexander, always a friend 
to this Museum, has written a biographical sketch of Fornander 
and has warmly commended the volume.
