It has not been thought needful to enumerate all the specimens of bark, partly 

 made kapa (poaaha) and the fragments from the burial caves, with the kapa wrappers 

 around the bones. The latter are represented by catalogued specimens. Enough has 

 been given to show that material for study has not been wanting, however insuflE- 

 ciently it may have been utilized, rather from want of knowledge than from chariness 

 of labor expended on this ancient and now nearly lost art. 



We may turn to the specimens of bark-cloth from other island groups of the 

 Pacific Ocean, but as most of these are of comparatively- modern manufaAure, those 

 noted in the Cook collections are more worthy of attention.
