PLATE 31- 



Cloth kuom Nkw Hebrides and Solomon Islands. 



The upper specimen is a curious design in black on a white ground. The lower 

 is from the Solomon Islaiuls, dark hlue figures on a light gray ground. The 

 larger figures are often seen on cloth from this group Init their significance I do 

 not know. The most interesting portion of the specimen is in the lower right hand 

 corner where the outline has carelessly been filled in with the blue incorrectly, and 

 as the mistake could not be easily corrected, as the color soaks through the fabric, 

 the correct outline has been left unfilled. Both these specimens are from the 

 British Museum, anti from similar figures in this Museum I suppose them reduced 

 about one-third.
