Kthnology. Continuing the agreeable subject of gifts to 

 the Museum I call attention to the report of the Curator of Eth- 

 nology, Mr. John F. G. Stokes. He says: 



"Mr. Holmes' anonymous friend has again given evidence 

 of his generosity in purchasing and presenting two collections to 

 the Museum. The larger one, made by J. F. Connelly in Australia, 

 is mainly of interest through its painted bark baskets, memorial 

 stones, and nardoo grinders which supplement the more extensive 

 Helms collection given by the same benefactor in 191 5. The 

 second, of Maori implements sent by L. vSimmons on approval, was 

 small but very choice, as it included a mere, fiki and fish-hook, 

 all in jade. 



"Another gift was the feather cape of the Parker family, which 

 came to the Museum without suggestion by members of the staff. 

 It was a family heirloom and its presentation caused a feeling of 

 satisfaction that the usefulness of the Museum was being more 

 widely appreciated. The gift was from the five living heirs of Har- 

 riet Panana Hianaloli, first wife of Col. Samuel K. Parker, and the 

 presentation was made through Mr. Ernest Napela Parker.' 



'An illustration of this interesting cape, of which tlie ownership is recorded 

 for several generations, will he given in another sujiplenient to Hawaiian 

 Feather Work which is in preparation.
