iS Report of a Journey Around the World. 



especially carved bowls, some of which are figured in the first 

 report but without indication of their size. This omission has now 

 been supplied and I have photographs of 

 all these with the size indicated. The 

 Director was most generous in furnishing 

 all the photographs we needed for illustra- 

 tion of various memoirs, and these were 

 so promptly furnished that on my return 

 to Honolulu they were awaiting me. The 

 collection of Rapanui figures has been en- 

 riched by as finely carved a specimen as I 

 have ever seen. The collections have also 

 been labeled and are much more accessible 

 than on my last visit. The kapa specimens 

 are well mounted and arranged for study, 

 a matter most museums have in the past 

 neglected . The large collection of Hawaii- 

 an feather cloaks and capes has been with- 

 drawn from public exposure except a very 

 few specimens. This is found the wisest 

 way even in countries where the light is 

 not so actinic as in these Hawaiian Islands. 

 The list of accessions will be found in the 

 sequel, as it seems best to group those 

 from all the museums together. 



Among the Hawaiian specimens are 

 several carved wooden bowls with human 

 figures as supporters, a favorite motive, 

 of which we have already figured examples 

 in our publications. 1 The first, Fig. 10, is 

 but 7.7 inches high but remarkably well 

 carved, although the figures have very 

 brutal faces. The second was obtained 

 in 1854, Fig. 11, and it resembles more the 

 common New Zealand treatment, with 

 upright human figures both facing the 

 same way ; of these the eyes are of shell and the teeth good 

 specimens of the sculptor's dentistry ; like the first this is of small
