6 Director's Report for 1916. 
a good series of photographs from which the figures have been 
traced on a large sheet of paper in their relative position for later 
publication. A few ethnological specimens were gathered from the 
neighboring sanddunes. Certainly the Museum is much indebted 
to Mr. J. K. Farley of Koloa for his valuable assistance in this 
matter, and for his hospitality, as it is through his watchfulness 
of the beach and weather conditions that the success of the work 
was made possible. 
In an unusual way this department went afield, and from 
Mr. Stokes’ report the visit to the Maui County Fair was a wise 
departure from the usual Museum routine. The report was pre-

A set of the Museum Memoirs was made available to the visitors 
at the Fair, and they appeared to appreciate the opportunity of 
looking through the same. 
There were over 500 local specimens on display, and the 
attendance at the Arts and Crafts section was estimated at 2400. 
I believe that 1800 would be a conservative estimate. The interest 
of the visitors in what they saw was very great, and many ques- 
tions were asked by them. A large portion of the visitors were 
Hawaiians, and it was remarkable to observe that many of them 
had forgotten the commoner implements of their ancestors. This 
became apparent from the questions they were overheard asking 
one another. So great was the interest created by the Hawaiian 
Arts and Crafts section, that its Committee was requested to con-
