26 Bcrnicc P. Bishop Museum — Bullctiu 



since 191 5, under tlie direction of tlie Board of Commissioners of Public 

 Archives, who placed Rev. Henry H. Parker in charge of the work. 



Early in 192 1 the manuscript cards were transmitted by the Board 

 of Archives to the Bishop Museum, which consented to do the editorial 

 work necessary to prepare the volume for the press and also agreed to 

 furnish a list of Hawaiian geographical names with pronunciation and 

 definition. To cover the cost of printing, the Board placed at the dis- 

 posal of the Museum the unexpended balance of $4,500. 



As the editorial work proceeded it was found that the manuscript 

 was incomplete in several essential features, thus demanding an unexpected 

 amount of work on the part of the Museum stafT and of Mr. Joseph S. 

 Emerson. Mr. Stephen Mahaulu. Mr. L. .A. Dickey. Mr. Thomas C. White, 

 and Mr. Theodore Kelsey, who gave freely of their store of knowledge. 



The Dictionary is substantially a reprint of the work compiled by 

 Mr. Lorrin Andrews in 1865. The value of the older volume has been 

 increased by incorporating the scholarly studies of Lorenzo Lyons, by the 

 addition of diacritical marks, by the elimination of irrelevant matter, and 

 by the rearrangement of words and definitions. The revised Dictionary is 

 obviously incomplete and the way is open for the preparation of a volume 

 that will draw material from all available sources.
