A Catalogue of the Kapa Studied. 239 



■J"] . Hawaii. Another specimen of similar character is shown in PI. R, i. The cloth 

 is of the same thick but soft texture, and the colors are applied with equal skill. 



78. Hawaii. A buff corduroy with one side painted uniform red. The appearance is 

 similar to No. 68, but the shade of red is brighter and the ridges much broader 

 than in that specimen of uncertain origin. 



79. Hawaii. A thick, firm kapa with the smooth surface usuallj^ selected for print- 

 ing or painting, both of which processes have been used here (PI. T, 3). 



80. Hawaii. The interseftions of the panels of thick wavy black lines, and the red 

 stamps on the light ground are shown in PI. T, 2. 



81. Tahiti. Another modification of the reticulate pattern so common among the 



southern Polynesians. 



82. Hawaii. This specimen is nearly double the length of other specimens in this 

 colledlion, the extra length being required to show the irregular succession of the 

 lined and stamp-spaces. PI. H, 3, gives a better idea of this complex though not 

 beautiful pattern than any description. 



83. Hawaii. Buff-colored kapa of woolly surface covered with bands of red composed 

 of coalescing lines, not more than nine or less than three. 



84. Hawaii. Kapa similar to the last but with a different arrangement of red lines. 



85. Hawaii. A soft brown kapa with bands of four dark lines occasionally covered 

 with a semi-transparent varnish of red; these at intervals of two inches, the 

 spaces dotted with four rows of twin line stamps. 



86. Hawaii. Thick, leathery kapa of a buff color nearly covered by converging bands 



filled with thick, transverse, wavy black lines, relieved by occasional red bands 

 or rows of round red spots. It belongs to the class of Nos. 18, 70, etc. (see PI. U, 2). 



87. Hawaii. Apparently from the same piece as the last. 



88. Hawaii. Thick, leathery kapa with converging bands of dark red crossed in various 



ways with black lines. A seam is shown in Figs. 56, 57. For the filling see PI. U, 3. 



89. Tongatabu. A buff, mole kapa with bands of two black lines with an intermediate 



one of lighter color, crossed at right angles by converging red lines, in pairs. 



90. Hawaii. Plain buff kapa with parallel bands of three red lines at intervals of 



.5 inch; crossing these a band of red fibres in the fabric. 



91. Hawaii. A dark brown (PI. A A, 10) hoopai kapa, soft and well beaten, without 



decoration. 



92. Hawaii. A thick, red glazed, hoopai halua kapa. 



93. Tahiti. A soft yellow kapa of medium thickness, imprinted with crimson leaves 



and bands of fibres. Both colors are quite faded. 



94. Hawaii ? A buff kapa with red bands, but the interwoven lines forming the bands 

 are unlike others in the colleAion. 



95. Hawaii. A very beautiful buff kapa ruled with great care in several delicate 

 shades of brown and red. 



96. Tahiti. A yellow kapa in three layers of which the inner is thin mole, the middle 



thicker hoopai, and the outer a fine hoopai ; imprinted with the crimson rings by 

 the bambu stem (Fig. 7). Cook's II Voyage.
