to us, and our friends met us, each with leis of carnations, _ 
candlewick flowers, and a lovely lavender legume. F. 7. Williams tooK 
us uptown to the bank, the oculist's and the milLiner, then we all, 
and Mr. Fullaway, went out to the Bishop Museum, where Mr. Bryan, the 
curator, showed us around until nearly noon. The Museum is devoted 
to Polynesian exhibits exclusively, and there were wonderful relics 
of earlv days in the South Seas. King I Throne and crown 
made one wonderful exhibit, and the feather cloak and helmet of 
were another. x*k Two of the three birds most exten- 
sively used for this feather work are now extinct, the oo and the 
It has been estimated that 80,000 birds were needed for one big yeelow 
cape that we saw-. 
We lunched r-t the ^ T a.ikiki Tavern, and I had pineapple and Ulue, 
a local fish. Then to the ^auerium, which is small but tremendously 
interesting. One wing is given over to food fishes, but for the most 
part the fish seem to be collected and exhibited for their gorgeous 
color. One brilliant tank was a collection of Samoan reef fishes, 
bright blue, darker blue, yellow dorsals, - Indescribable colors. 
Spiny lobsters, spineless lobsters, sea urchins, starfishes, hermit 
crabs with anemones living on them, and octopi were interesting ^ sights . 
Four octopi in one tank put on an amazing show, fighting, swimming, _ 
changing color, from almost white to dark brown, and all their tentacles 
and suckers working like mad, until I literally got goosefiesh all 
over my arms just watching them. 
After a look at the Agricultural Experiment Station, &the Sugar 
Planters Association Mrs. Fullaway drove us up to the Pali, with 
probabiv the most gorgeous view of any mountain pass in the world. 
At 1200" feet it looks out over mountains, sea and sky, with constantly 
changing cloud and color effect, - simply too beautiful. On our wey^ 
back we stopped at the Hildebrand Gardens, and admired all the botani- 
cal specimens, liking especially the old banyan trees and the orchid 
collection. One yellow, fringe-petatled orchid was called the Butter- 
flv. We ate a small red fruit called Surinam cherry, and saw cup of 
gold, ginger, and so many other tropical plants new to me that I gave 
up trying to learn their names. 
Mr. Fullaway, M.0. w . and I went swimming from the Outrigger 
Canoe Club at ? T aikiki Beach. The air was cool, but the water warm. 
Hunks of coral underfoot, beach shallow, breakers a quarter of a 
mile out on the reef. While we swam, Bill went to the 7oo, which he 
savs is small, unusually clean and nice, with very l?:rge cages, grass 
growing in mo^t of them. It is to be enlarged and turned into an 
aviary. The present bird collection contains four species of hornbill, 
two of Paradise birds, tantile stork, Java fruit pigeons, Leadbeeter's 
cockatoo, breeding Hawaiian geese, crowed pigeons and Java jungle 
fowl. The Philippine hornbill put food in the keeper » s ^ mouth, flew 
up and down at command. Nice collection monkeys, two lions. 
Sukiyaki dinner at beech Club. All the Hawaiian entomologists 
and their wives had been gathered together, and it was a lovely party, 
eating outdoors, watching the full moon over the water. Came back to 
the ste- iter a little after nine, and sailed at ten-thirty, to the 
accompaniment of Moha from the Royal Hawaiians, pink, green and purple 
serpentines, lights twinkling from the town behind. As we left the 
harbor, we threw out leis overboard, so they would float back to Hono- 
lulu, as we hope to do someday ourselves.
