 Oahu. Peale colle(5lion, 4490. P. A. N. S. 



397. Hawaiian malo, oiled, of gray fabric with lines of black fibre and a beat that I 

 have seen in no other kapa. It ma}- be that the maker used two beaters, one in 

 each hand, and beat together. The lines of black fibre, plain enough b}' reflected 

 light, are nearl}- invisible by transmitted light. Peale col]e(51;ion, 4491. P. A. N. S.

 connedling cord beneath the under sheet is straight and narrow; then the fibre 

 continues between the sheets 2.6 inches, coming up four times as before, and so on 

 to the end of a long side of the kapa which measures in its rather curled and 

 shrunken state 6X7-7 f^^t, or about the size of an ordinary kapa moe.
