6 Director's Amiual Report. 



next year. We have also had 228 volumes bound: a very import- 

 ant matter, as most of our exchanges come to us in parts, and for 

 use as well as preservation must be bound. 



On behalf of the library Mr. Stokes visited the attic of the 

 Capitol in July and spent five days in selecting from the somewhat 

 scattered stacks copies needed to complete our sets of early session 

 laws and ministerial reports. A large list of desiderata was then 

 submitted to the Governor with the hope expressed that the books 

 mentioned might be deposited in the Museum library. The books 

 were finally given to the Museum on the tenth of January, 191 2. 



The present rooms occupied as library were planned for taxi- 

 dermy, and are temporarily occupied until we may build the more 

 commodious structure already planned. Although the cases are 

 not what they should be the}- fairly answer their temporary purpose. 



Ethnology. Many additions have come to us in this depart- 

 ment both by gift and purchase. In the former class is the bequest 

 of the late Archibald S. Cleghorn called, as directed in the will, 

 "The Kaiulani Collection" in memory of the late Princess. This 

 included, besides the books already mentioned, 268 ethnological 

 specimens, some of great interest and considerable rarity which 

 will be illustrated in the list of accessions; 80 framed portraits, 

 many of them of the Princess Kaiulani ; and 62 unframed photo- 

 graphs. The framed portraits of Hawaiian royalty have been 

 placed in the library. Among the kapa a rare specimen has been 

 printed in colors in Ka Hana Kapa (PI. ZZ,p. 212). Rev. W. D. 

 Westervelt, Mrs. Charles M. Cooke, Mrs. Emil Waterman, and 

 Mr. D. Thaanum have also added to our collections. .Some of 

 the last mentioned specimens will be separately described by 

 Mr. Stokes. 



During the summer we acquired the collection of Mr. W. C. 



Schiefer of Makaweli, Kauai, consisting mostly of stone, 104 



Hawaiian specimens, among them a very large ring poi pounder,
