semble the Kahoolawe find, but in no case is the procedure appli- 
cable. Some attention has been given to the subject of the f7z7koz, 
the Hawaiian throwing club, anda paper prepared. It was, how-

notes were handed to the Director describing various specimens in 
the Henriques and other loan collections.* 
THE HENRIQUES COLLECTION. 
The collection received on loan from Mr. Henriques con- 
sisted of 250 specimens, of native origin, enumerated in the list

A finger bowl 8.8 inches long, 7 wide and 3.3 deep, and a 
spittoon 8 inches in diameter and 3.2 deep (Fig. 1) show varia- 
tions which are worthy of special notice. The finger bowl has 
four straight sides, instead of the usual circular or oval form, and 
none of the corners are rectangular (Fig.1,a). The spittoon has 
two well-made grooves around the outer rim (Fig. 1, 4). Both
