Ethnology. 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 zardoo grinders which supplement the more extensive 
Helms collection given by the same benefactor in 1915. ‘The 
second, of Maori implements sent by L,. Simmons on approval, was 
small but very choice, as it included a mere, t7ki 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 the ownership is recorded 
for several generations, will be given in another supplement to Hawaiian 
Feather Work which is in preparation.
