have used it. This was followed by the Annual Report, and the 
year closed with the publication of the fourth and last part of 
Volume II of the Memoirs, a brief history of the volcanoes Kilauea 
and Mauna Loa on Hawaii. Of course there has been the usual 
large amount of label work and the miscellaneous printing the 
Museum requires. It has been a great hindrance having the 
presswork done in town, and it will be a matter for early consider- 
ation whether we should not make better work in the new printery 
on a hand press; if the work is to still be done in town a much 
larger font of type should be provided, as forms are locked up and 
delayed in town beyond reasonable measure. Lest this should 
seem a reversion to ancient methods, let us remember that the 
finest work has always been done on the old hand press, and this 
is universally used for the proofs of the half tone engravings which 
form so large a part of modern illustration. The printing of a 
volume on Kapa-making has already been arranged, and it ts 
thought that this will be ready during 1910 as Volume III of the 
Memoirs. ‘The. illustrations have many of them been made in 
Vienna in color and are faithful reproductions of the beautiful 
kapa still existing in this Museum and in the Director’s private 
collection, which includes most of those Cook brought home. 
Unfortunately under the tariff these plates which will cost nearly 
five dollars.a set, are subject to a duty of 25%, although they 
could not be made of such quality in America at present.

Hawaiian fish-traps and conservation ponds and his results appear 
later in this series. Mr. Stokes has also spent some time on 
Molokai surveying the remains of the ancient /ezaw or temples, 
and while thus engaged found time to make collections of great 
value, among them a collection of plants and the curious and little 
known Kalaina wawae, specimens of which, given by Mr. George
