Ka Hana Kapa. 



lu speaking of the paint brushes used by the old Hawaiians mention was made 

 of the Hala {^Pandanjis odoyalissivius) as the source of tliese simple brushes, but no 

 specimen of the ripe fruit was at hand to illustrate the origin and form of the imple- 

 ment. I have since been able to supply the deficiencj- in Fig. 107. It has not been 

 thought needful to refer to the hala tree otherwise, as this is the only part of this 

 useful tree appearing in the manufacture of kapa.
