Director's Annual Report. DE 
Mr. J. F. G. Stokes, Curator of Polynesian Ethnology, reports 
as follows: 
‘“Of our accessions the finest gift of the year was that of Mrs. 
Agnes H. B. Judd, who gave us the collection of the late A. Francis 
Judd, chief justice of the supreme court, which had been here on loan 
deposit for fourteen years. The most valuable specimen was the 
feather cape which at one time belonged to Kaumualii (described 
in Memoir I, p. 62). Another interesting specimen was a small 
to medium poi bowl of the unusual tall form, which was reputed 
to have belonged to Kalaimamahu, brother of Kamehameha I. 
‘‘Another generous donor was the Rev. W. D. Westervelt. 
For a long time past no annual list has appeared without this 
geutleman’s name appearing among the givers, in my department 
as well as in others of the Museum. During the year 1914 the 
Director recommended that appreciation of Mr. Westervelt’s in- 
terest be shown by the presentation by the Trustees of the Museum 
publications. This was approved.and a formal presentation made 
in person by the Director and this Curator. The result was very 
Surprising and unlooked for, as, in order to demonstrate his con- 
tinued good will towards the Museum, he stripped his house of 
almost all his remaining specimens and loaded up the car. 
‘“The Museum has several good friends on the Molokai Ranch. 
The manager, Geo. P. Cooke, and assistant manager, James 
Munro, have both visited my room at the Museum and received 
what instruction I could give them in collecting. They have re- 
ceived further instruction in the field from the Curator of Pulmo- 
nata, whose investigations of the fossil beds have taken him 
through the regions inhabited by the old Hawaiians. These gentle- 
men and their friends have taken a real pleasure in gathering 
specimens for the Museum and have sent in large collections made 
independently and in company with the Curator of Pulmonata. 
‘“‘Among the other gifts should be specially mentioned that 
of seventeen kapas from Kona, from Mrs. C. M. Cooke; piece of 
original hieroglyphic tablet from Easter Island, made by Mrs.
