PLATE 44. 



HA\\AnAX Kapa. 



1. This specimen of a border from Kauai was jriven to the writer by the 

 Peabody Academy of Science. Originally yellow with turmeric dye, it has faded 

 almost completely, but the black stamps were in the ink made from the soot of 

 kukui uuts and have remained much as originally impressed. This pretty border 

 was part of a kihei or native shawl. 



2. This kapa was apparently stamped in rectangles composed of twenty 

 rosettes, but the fragment sent me leaves this uncertain. Sent me from the Phila- 

 delphia Academy of Natural Sciences, antl I understand it was brought here by 

 the Wilkes Expedition.
