Director's Annual Report. 5 
be seen by the list at the end of this report. The demand from 
abroad for the Memoirs on Feather Work, Kapa Making, Index 
to the Islands of the Pacific, and especially Mr. Stokes’ Index to 
Fornander’s Polynesian Race continues to a gratifying extent. 
Great delay in our publications has been caused by the impossi- 
bility of getting satisfactory paper here or at the Coast, compelling 
us to send to the factories in the East. 
In the Cast Room there has been great activity, and a number 
of new and very interesting specimens have been cast. In the 
family of eels thirty-one specimens are already on exhibition and 
eight more are cast and nearly finished. A very large specimen 
of ‘‘John Dory’’ (Zeus) has been cast, as also a fine fish he had 
just swallowed when caught. The expected visit of Dr. B. W. 
Evermann has greatly stimulated the search for new and rare 
specimens. 
During the visit of Dr. von Luschan a number of casts were 
made of native faces, and hands, and the process of making masks 
as practised by our visitor was so satisfactory that it is to be hoped 
more of these expressive and interesting casts will be made. Our 
thanks were given to several of the Kamehameha School boys for 
their obliging willingness to be measured and cast. They found 
it not so disagreeable a process as it looks. The moulds are still 
awaiting an opportunity to forward them to Dr. von Luschan when 
en route for Germany. 
Of the distinguished and helpful visitors may be noted Herbert 
Bolton, M.Sc., F.R.S.E., Director of the Museum, Bristol, Eng.; 
Prof. Alfred M. ‘Tozzer and Prof. W. R. Castle, Jr., of Harvard; 
Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale; Rosewell B. Lawrence, Esq., 
Secretary of the Appalachian Club; Dr. Geo. A. Dorsey of the 
Field Musenm, Chicago; Prof. Felix von Luschan and Madame 
Kmma von Luschan of Berlin; Prof. (of Geography) Aleksander 
Janowski, University of Warsaw; M. Mesterhazy of Moskau,
