6 Director's Annual Report. 
enough to witness its eruptions, the memorable ‘‘Pit of Pele’ and 
the outflow of molten rivers from Mauna Loa and Kilauea. 
Much work has also been done in the preparation of a volume 
on Kapa or Bark-cloth, or more properly paper, primarily of these 
Islands but also including the similar work of other Polynesians 
and extending through Africa, the East Indies and other coun- 
tries where this primitive manufacture was once all-important but 
now everywhere disappearing before the cheaper and more durable 
product of the loom. With the view of preserving at least the 
memory of this fast vanishing product of early ingenuity the 
Trustees of this Museum have made generous provision for illus- 
trating in fac s¢mile scores of beautiful or interesting colored speci- 
mens from the combined collections of this Museum and of the 
Director, and these plates are now in the hands of the most com- 
petent workmen. It is hoped that the result ay be published in 
the course of rgIo.
