which is always some place where the grass, ferns, or branches 

 of trees droop over on the water; the shrimps take refuge in or 

 under these and the fisherwoman places her basket under the 

 leaves and lifts them out of the water, when the shrimps drop 

 into the basket; she then unties the small end and drops them 

 into a small mouthed gourd attached to a string, which she 

 keeps floating after her for that purpose, and putting some 

 fern leaves inside the gourd to keep the shrimps from creep- 

 ing out, as these are lively little fellows who live a long time 

 out of water and scamper about on terra firma like cockroaches. 

 The Hinai Hooluuluu is used in Hinalea fishing, (a small spe- 

 cies of Julis,) and is a small basket made from the vines of the 

 awikiwiki, a convolvulus, and it is renewed from day to 

 day as wanted. A light frame work of twigs is first tied to- 

 gether and then the vines, leaves and all, are wound in and out 

 round and round till of the requisite size, three or four feet in 

 circumference and about one and a half in depth. Shrimp 

 pounded and enclosed in cocoanut fibre is occasionally placed 

 at the bottom of the basket for bait, but usually the scent of 

 the bruised and withering leaves seems to be sufficient. Wo- 

 men always attend to this kind of fishing. They wade out to 

 suitable places, generally small sandy openings in coral ground 

 or reef, and let the baskets down suitably weighted to keep 

 them in position, the weights attached in such a way as to be 

 easily detached. Each woman then moves away from her 

 basket to some distance, but from where she can watch the 

 fish enter the basket. When all the fish that are in sight 

 have entered, they take the basket up and transferring the fish 

 to a large smaltmouthed gourd, move the basket to a fresh 

 place. Fishing in this way can only be carried on, on a calm 

 sunny day, and at low tide. 



Since the introduction of the weeping willow, baskets for 

 this fishing are sometimes made of willow twigs. Such can be 

 used over and over again. Men sometimes take such baskets 

 and using wana (sea eggs), for bait, with the top of the shell 

 broken to expose the meat, place them in comparatively deep 

 water, piling stones around them to keep them in place. They
