6. Hawaii or Tahiti. Thin mole fabric ruled with double black lines, twenty-three 



or more (cannot be determined from the specimen), then a space of ground color 

 with transverse lines of red dots in series of three ; then two bands of four black 

 lines each ; then a slightly wider band of the ground color with the dots ; then two 

 similar bands with elliptical daubs of dark red at intervals of about an inch ; repeat. 



7. Hawaii. A thick, leathery fabric crudel}- marked with converging lines of red and 



black. It is most interesting for a neat specimen of sewing shown in Figs. 61, 62. 



8. Tonga. A thick corduroy fabric with converging bands of red and black. 



9. Tahiti ? A thick, ribbed kapa of yellow-brown tint ruled with wavy lines of alter- 



nate red and black, crossed with rudely painted bands of black with open zigzags 

 of ground color dotted with red. 



10. Hawaii. Ver}' smooth mole kapa of light brown tint marked with red and black 

 figures as shown in PI. E, 4. 



11. Hawaii. Thin white kalukalu kapa with crossing bands of twin dots as show-n in 



PI. 41, I- 



12. Tahiti or Hawaii. A kapa of open and rather uneven beat but fairl}^ smooth 



surface ruled with fifteen black lines about .5 inch apart, then three similar lines 

 close together, two wider red lines followed by the three lines and repeat ; crossed 

 by converging pairs of red and black lines. 



13. Hawaii. Stiff and paperj- hoopai kapa ruled in broad black lines as shown in 

 Fig. 19. Brought by Cook from Kauai. The black carries a durable varnish. 



14. Tahiti ? Thin kapa of a reddish tinge carefully ruled with darker red twin lines 

 at right angles to each other. 



15. Tahiti? A gra}^ surface ruled with dark brown lines, generally in pairs, with a 

 thinner line of the same color intervening. 



16. Samoa? Mole kapa d3-ed 3'ellow and stamped or printed with flat triangles with 



a base of 4.5 inches and of dark red color and varnished surface, leaving equal 

 triangles of the 3'ellow ground. 



17. Haw^aii. A double sheet, the front one mole with a wool-like surface (PI. O, i); 

 the other hoopai yellow-brown on inside where attached to the other sheet, the 

 reverse with smooth red paint. 



18. Hawaii. A firm kapa mole of a reddish yellow tinge, marked irregularly with 

 panels of close wavy black lines separated by elbows of broad bands of two shades 

 of red or by strips of the ground color with red dots. A good seam crosses 

 the specimen. 



19. Hawaii. Stout mole kapa of a yellow-white tint, the most of the surface being 



covered with well-ruled lines in bands crossing each other at a small angle. 

 The lines are alternatel}- broad (.2 inch) and very narrow. The specimen has 

 been sewed with a running cord like a basting, but this has been mostly cut away 

 in binding. 



20. Tonga ? A thin but tough kapa ribbed and well covered with red and black 



wavy lines with here and there a band of red lines of varying width. Where the 

 original surface shows it is often dotted with red. Perhaps Hawaiian.
