Director's Report for 1916. 
In the days following the Fair, the Memoirs of the Museum 
were placed at the disposal of the public in the Maui Hotel lobby, and 
at the office of the Rev. R. B. Dodge, Chairman of the Arts and Crafts 
Committee. The rest of my time was used up in gathering informa- 
tion concerning the heiau and introducing the Bishop Museum to 
many Hawaiians who had not heard of it. For the latter purpose 
I carried a copy of the handbook in my pocket, and keen interest 
was displayed by the Hawaiians who looked it through. 
In the heiau work, using Wailuku as a base, I covered the 
coast as far as Kahakuloa on the N. W., Keanae on the N. E., 
La Pérouse Bay on S. E. and Olowalu on S. W. For the Lahaina 
and Kaanapali sections, Lahaina may be used asa base later. 
The heiau work was disappointing. I had hoped to get a better 
understanding of the heiau terms used by the late 5. M. Kamakau 
in his writings from the natives of the Wailuku section, where 
Kamakau lived many years. ‘The terms, however, were unknown 
to these people, as were most of the commoner heiauterms. Over 
twenty-five heiau sites were seen and fifteen more heard of. Of 
the few where stones remained, not one was in condition to afford 
an original ground plan such as I required. 
These little journeys, however, were the means of securing 
twelve good specimens, of which two were given, one purchased, 
aud four found by my wife whoaccompanied me. Deserted house lots 
were the best source of supply. Expenses have been kept at a mini- 
mum through the use of my own machine which I had with me. 
Respectfully submitted, 
JouHN F. G. STOKES, 
Curator of Polynesian Ethnology. 
To Mr. Stokes’ interesting account of his Maui visit I am 
pleased to add the following communication from the well-known 
Chairman of the Arts and Crafts division of the Fair:
