Director's Report for 1018. 5 
The number of ethnological accessions during the year was 365, classified 
as follows: gifts, 180; purchases, 126; loans, 15; gifts of relics, 44. This is 
less than the average for the preceding five year period, in the early part of 
which large collections were made, given and purchased. 
GIFTS. 
Mr. Bruce Cartwright, Jr., presented an accumulation of small loans 
made by him from time to time and amounting in all to fifty-two specimens ; 
Judge S. B. Dole—one of the rare Neckar Islands stone idols, which makes 
a total of nine now brought to light; Judge H. E. Cooper 
a tobacco pipe, 
apparently of slate, which was dug up in Manoa Valley, Oahu, the same 
valley in which an Indian arrow head was found many years ago. 
The wa'u ipu (scraper of cowry shell) lost sight of until 1916 when 
specimens of it were found by Messrs. Judd and Cooke on deserted house 
lots on Molokai (described in Occasional Papers Vol. VI, p. 232) has now 
been turned up in great numbers, as shown by the gifts of Messrs. Judd 
and Munro. 
Another gift worthy of special mention (although outside the province 
of the museum) was a collection of Moro weapons captured by men of the 
Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A., in the Philippines. It was presented by the 
men of the regiment when vacating their station at Schofield Barracks, Oahu. 
LOANS. 
Among other things deposited in the Museum by the various interests 
concerned, were’ two cocoanut fibre caskets (Pl. I), believed to contain the 
bones of Liloa, king of Hawaii about 1500 A. D., and Lonoikamakahiki, a 
great grandson who reigned later. Examples of this form of body encasing 
have not been observed before and undoubtedly are extremely rare. They 
will be described in a later publication. 
A feather cape (Pl. II) and three Jei (ornamental strings of feathers) 
which were taken to New England in 1822 by Mrs. Lucia Ruggles Holman, 
one of the earliest missionaries, were lent by the present owner, a descendant. 
The cape was given by Queen Kaahumanu to Mrs. Holman, probably for 
her daughter, claimed to be the first white child born in the Hawaiian 
Islands. It is remarkably well preserved, the feathers showing very little 
wear. The colors are yellow (00), red (iiwi,) and black (00), and the 
measurements are: length of back, 355mm.; length of fronts: right 272, 
left 260; greatest width 820. 
PURCHASES. 
A collection of stone implements made by Mr. H. Schultz, during his 
residence of a quarter of a century on the island of Kauai, was the most 
important purchase of the year. It consisted of eighty-five items, which 
brought several new forms to our knowledge.
