97. Hawaii. A thick, papery kapa closeh' lined in minute squares with black which 



seems to have stained the whole tissue.

 able and could hardly have been surpassed b}- modern machiner}'. 



99. Hawaii. A fine red mahuna kapa carefully lined with black. 



100. Hawaii. The woolly surface with bands of red lines so often represented in this 

 collecflion. 



loi. Tahiti. Although this and the following specimen are marked "from Pitcairn 

 Island" they really represent Tahitian manufacfture, as the women taken from 

 Tahiti by the mutineers of the Bounty to this then uninhabited island doubtless 

 brought with them their handicraft. This specimen is a tough, coarse, white hoopai. 



102. Tahiti. A vellow mole kapa with the imprint in crimson as shown in PI. 20, 2. The 

 serrate strip is loosel}' pasted on; both yellow and crimson are colors of the past.

 the color has penetrated both lavers. 



104. Hawaii. Another specimen of the marble mottled thin kapa alreadv mentioned. 



105. Tahiti. This beautiful white fabric is marked "Otaheite, the finest made in 

 that island." The hoopai beat is so close as to resemble a weave and the texture 

 is of " silver paper." 



106. Tahiti. A thick corduro}- painted red on the reverse, while in front the buff 

 color appears, and each ridge has a wav}^ black line. The specimen also shows 

 a remarkabl}' fine seam. 



107. 108. Tahiti. These two specimens are identical in substance and var}' slightl}- 

 in decoration ; soft and thin ; probabl}- from the same piece. 



109. Tahiti. Another of the fine hoopai white specimens. It is slightl}- discolored, 

 no. Tahiti. A coarse, dark red, glazed kapa; peculiar to this group.
