grooves. On the bottom the middle of one groove seems to have 
been slightly deepened by a sharp implement in one or two spots, 
but as all cuts run in the same direction as the grain of the stone, 
they may only be the result of the peculiar chipping of the material. 
Otherwise the pittings clearly show that the specimen was shaped 
by pecking. The smaller end is flat and wide, is perforated and 
has two notches on each edge for cord. The process of making 
the hole differed somewhat from the usual drilling through from 
both sides. In this specimen depressions were pecked on both 
sides to about one-third of the depth, and the rest drilled. The 
depression on one side occupies nearly the whole width of the end. 
Drilling a hole through stone is an advance on the pecking method, 
and it would seem that the specimen was completed by a different 
worker than the one who beganit. It is 6.6 inches high, 3.9 wide, 
3.3 thick, and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces. 
When found by Mr. Gregson in a cave in North Kohala, 
Hawaii, in 1900, it was attached to an olona cord 30 inches long 
and about a third ofaninchthick. The cord was of four-ply twist, 
not braid, which after being run twice through the hole was divided 
into strands which passed along the grooves at the edge, level 
with the hole, and tightened in the channels separating the lobes. 
The cord was so decayed that it fell to pieces when the specimen 
was found, but Mr. Gregson said that the free end was finished off, 
not cut. The short and heavy cord and the weight of the stone 
suggest a form of canoe breaker, such as described by Dr. Brig- 
ham in his essay on Hawaiian Stone Implements (Memoirs I, 341). 
Mr. Gregson said it was an ikoi for tripping up and striking a man.
