Memoir of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum (Vol. II, No. 1, 1906) in which William T. Brigham describes the mats and baskets of the ancient Hawaiians and compares them with basketry, fans, hats, mats and cordage from Micronesia, Samoa, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Australia and New Zealand. Topics include pandanus and makaloa mats with pattern lists, ieie baskets, fern-stem traps, sandals, and a Micronesian loom. John F. G. Stokes contributes a section on Hawaiian nets and netting: koko carrying nets, piko and hanai knotting forms, gourd cordings and fish nets, with line drawings of the netting stages. It is illustrated with many photographs, figures and plates, and includes museum specimen lists and a Samoan text on a fine mat.
