enough to witness its eruptions, the memorable "Pit of Pele" and 

 the outflow of molten rivers from Manna Loa and Kilauea. 



Much work has also been done in the preparation of a volume 

 on Kapa or Bark-cloth, or more properly paper, primarily of these 



Islands hut also including the similar work of other Polynesians 

 and extending through Africa, the East Indies and other coun- 

 tries where this primitive manufacture was once all-important but 

 now everywhere disappearing hefore the cheaper and more durable 

 product of the loom. With the view of preserving at least the 

 memory of this fast vanishing product of early ingenuity the 

 Trustees of this Museum have made generous provision for illus- 

 trating 'm/ac simile scores of beautiful or interesting colored speci- 

 mens from the combined collections of this Museum and of the 

 Director, and these plates are now in the hands of the most com- 

 petent workmen. It is hoped that the result may be published in 

 the course of 1910.
