W. Both specimens on this plate were from the Cook collection first cited, and as they were very 

 small, owing to the unwise generosity of some former owner of the book, the author has repeated 

 the pattern with care for the colors. 



X. A remarkably well ruled and stamped specimen in the Kaiserlich-Koniglich Naturhistorische 

 Hofmuseum. This and the following plate (Y) was made from specimens kindly loaned by 

 Herr Custos Dr. Franz Heger. These with other of the Cook relics were bought in London in 

 1806 by the order of the Emperor Francis II, from the Parkinson and Leverian collections. 

 Sj'dney Parkinson was artist to Sir Joseph Banks during Cook's first voyage. The original 

 inventories of this purchase were examined during a visit to this splendid museum, but no 

 information of special interest was obtained. The purchase was only curiosities for the imperial 

 cabinet. 



Y. This specimen, in the Vienna museum from Cook, is attributed to Tongatabu, otherwise I 

 should not hesitate to call it Hawaiian. 



All the above plates were photo, chromo-lithograph by Herr Lowy of Vienna. Plate Z, the 

 frontispiece, was made by the American Colort},pe Company, b}- the three color process. Plate ZZ, 

 page 212, by the same process in Honolulu.
