NOTES ON COLLECTIONS 



Attention may be drawn to the large and important collections resulting from 

 the Bayard Dominick Expedition. In addition to the material recorded in the 

 Report of the Curator of Collections for 1921, collections have been received during 

 1922 from Robert T. .-Kitken, John F. G. Stokes, Forest B. H. Brown, Elizabeth 

 VVuist Brown, and A. J. Fames — all members of the expedition. 



The material brought back by Robert T. Aitken from Tubuai includes a sec- 

 tion of a house post carved with a striking design of circular and stellate figures, 

 some remarkable wooden planks carved in bold herringbone pattern, five wooden 

 bowls of characteristic oval form, baskets, hats, fans, canoe parts, fishhooks and 

 sandals. An instructive feature is a series showing stages in the manufacture of 

 sennit from coconut husk to finished product. Among the numerous stone imple- 

 ments are adz heads, chisels, polishing stones and food pounders. The tapa in- 

 dustry is illustrated by a series of tapa beaters of casuarina wood and partly pre- 

 pared bark of the paper mulberry (Broussonetia l>apyrifera). At Raivavae Mr. 

 Aitken obtained several adzes, tapa beaters, and 13 food pounders showing as many 

 different shapes of handles. In addition to ethnological material, dried specimens 

 of native flora including a series of wood samples' were collected. 



The large ethnological collections brought by John F. G. Stokes from Rurutu, 

 Raivavae, and Rapa must await special record in the Annual Report for 1923, but 

 mention may be made of approximately 1600 plant specimens and wood samples and 

 other natural history specimens. 



The Museum has received a collection of 1000 plants obtained by A. J. Fames 

 in Samoa in 1920. 



The largest addition to the botanical collections made by the Bayard Dominick 

 Expedition naturally was contributed by Forest B. H. and Elizabeth Wuist Brown, 

 who had devoted two years almost entirely to a study of the endemic and intro- 

 duced plants of the Marquesas. While en route Mr. and Mrs. Brown made col- 

 lections at the Tuamotus, Tahiti, Rarotonga, and New Zealand. The entire col- 

 lection ambraces about 9000 specimens'. 



The Museum has been fortunate in the interest displayed in its activities by 

 men in other occupations. Commander J. C. Thompson, stationed at the U. S. 

 Naval Hospital in Guam, has been untiring in his efforts to obtain specimens of 

 the native culture of the Marianas Islands. Through his influence the interest and 

 energy of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Hornbostal have been enlisted. Mr. Hornbostel 

 became a member of the Museum staff and with the aid of Dr. Thompson and 

 many friends has collected an enormous amount of anthropological material from 

 Guam. This includes over a hundred more or less complete skeletons of a people 

 whose large stature is striking. Several instances of pathologic effects are evident. 

 Among the artifacts mention may be made of 3 large hemispherical stone capitals
