 which the somewhat larger bowl seems to have been used for a 

 liquid, having an exit through the mouth of one of the figures. 



There are two of the Xecker 

 Island stone figures, thelarger 

 18 inches high, the other the 

 smallest known (Fig. 13). 

 Those in the Bishop Museum 

 have been described and fig- 

 ured (Memoirs, I, pi. lxii). 

 Of the wooden gods besides 

 the large one figured in Oc- 

 casional Papers, I, pi. xiv, 

 there are two others note- 

 worthy : one ( Fig. 14 ) was 

 obtained by Messrs. Tyer- 

 marm and Bennett from a 

 heiau at Kailua, Hawaii, and 

 is 47.5 inches high ; the other 

 (Fig. 15) is much broken, is 

 54 inches high, and seems to 

 represent a female form, al- 

 though the features seem 

 hardly those of the gentler 

 sex ; it was obtained from a 

 heiau. To these may be add- 

 ed the little god 12.8 inches 

 high (Fig. 16) which has an 

 expression hardly god-like. 

 A New Zealand trumpet 

 25.7 inches long (Fig. 17) 

 has the flare beautifully carved ; these trumpets were usually 

 carved in two pieces and fitted neatly together longitudinally; 

 they are far from common in collections. 



The Natural History Museum at Kensington has expanded 

 far more than the public exhibits show, but these last include more 

 of the well-mounted bird groups than before, and among animals 

 the okapi is conspicuous. Series illustrating evolution, and es
