238 Ka Hafta Kapa. 



and these bands are crossed by narrow red lines alternating double and single at 

 an angle of about 80°. A seam in the specimen is shown in Figs. 59 and 60. 



59. Hawaii. Of the same thick kapa as the last and marked with similar red lines. 

 The abrupt termination of some of the lines is shown in PI. 47, i. 



60. Tahiti. A kapa ruled as in No. 53, but thicker and a lighter ground color. The 



parallel red lines much more frequent. 



61. Tonga? A thick mole kapa ruled with black lines about half an inch apart, 



crossed by red converging and intersedling lines. 



62. Hawaii or Tahiti. Kapa mottled b^- beating in fragments of colored kapa as 

 shown in PI. 35, i ; here the colors are gray and red in separate patches. 



63. Tahiti. A thin 3'ellow kapa of apparently a pepehi halua beat, marked with red 



equilateral triangles 3.2 inches on a side. 



64. Tahiti. A very soft piece of cloth originall}' yellow (although everv trace of 

 color has vanished), with impressions of fern leaves now brown but once crim- 

 son, as explained in the text and shown in Fig. 4 and PI. 19, 2. 



65. Tonga? A corduroy kapa of buff color marked with red and black converging 



bands; some of these are filled with transverse black and red serrate lines; not a 

 very good piece of decoration. 



66. Tahiti. Another variety' of the thin lined kapa of Nos. 53 and 60. 



67. Hawaii. This mole kapa is thick and rather soft; the decoration on the buff 

 ground is a repeat of the following; a broad (.5 inch) red line, nine black wavy 

 lines, two wavy red lines, nine black and a broad red. In the next band a red 

 line takes the place of one of the black ones. 



68. Tongatabu ? A smooth buff hoopai kapa painted uniform red on one side, giving 



the fabric a leathery consistencj-. 



69. Hawaii. A thick mole kapa, reddish in tint and well covered with black and red 

 lines and cross hatchings. 



70. Hawaii. A thick buff mole kapa well covered with black zigzags interrupted here 



and there by spaces of ground color dotted with red ; also interse(5led by broad 

 red and thin black lines. 



71. Hawaii. A rather thin mole kapa ruled with narrow black and broader red lines 



much as shown in PI. 38. 



72. Hawaii. A wonderful specimen of coloration; shown in PI. R, 2. The fabric is 

 thick, well-beaten and smooth on the back. 



73. Tonga. A thin kapa ruled and painted red and black with a coat of varnish 



making it tolerably waterproof. The colors have penetrated the fabric. 



74. Hawaii. A stiff niahuna kapa marked with dark bands of four lines each ; oiled. 



75. Hawaii. A very neat and well-drawn pattern on a firm, thick kapa (PI. T, i). 



76. Hawaii. Another illustration of the perfe6lion of the art of coloration attained by 

 the old Hawaiians. In the midst of this specimen are three bands each of nine 

 pale red lines admirably ruled ; the middle band has a darker tint imposed in rhombs 

 giving the effect of an entwining shadow ; on either side of these three bands are 

 three narrow ones of only three lines, red on one side, dark brown on the other.
