Volume VI is in Hawaiian and in English. Number 1 deals 
chiefly with religious ceremonies; number 2 is a collection of 
miscellaneous studies in history, philology and geneology. The 
remaining manuscript of the Fornander papers, consisting of 
native Hawaiian songs and chants, has been submitted by the 
editor. It will be issued as Memoirs Volume VI, Number 3. 
Memoirs Volume VII, Number 2. A monographic study of the 
Hawaiian species of the Tribe Lobelioideae, Family Campa- 
nulaceae, by Joseph F. Rock, 1919, 305 pages, 217 plates. 
This volume is the result of a study of Lobelioideae in Ha- 
waii and in the museums of Europe and America. Of the 
seven genera discussed, six of them: Trematolobelia, Brighamia, 
Cyanea, Clermantia, Delissea and Rollandia are peculiar to Ha- 
waii; the seventh Lobelia, has world-wide distribution. These 
genera include 104 species which occur only in the Hawaiian 
Islands. The publication of this volume is timely, for some of 
the old and most interesting species of Lobelioideae have become 
extinct and others are disappearing. 
Occasional Papers Volume III and Volume VI have been com- 
pleted by the addition of indexes and tables of contents. A 
revised list of the Museum publications also has been issued. 
From 1898 to October of the present year, the Museum has 
maintained a printing establishment. Volumes I to IV of the 
Memoirs, Volumes I to VI of the Occasional Papers, and num- 
bers 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the Miscellaneous Publications, were print- 
ed from type set by hand in the Museum building. For the pub- 
lication of Memoirs Volume V (1918), arrangements were made 
with a printing house in the city for linotype composition anc
