A short 1907 note from the journal Man by R. Parkinson. It describes plaited trays and baskets (dara, doado, koko) from the east coast of Bougainville and northern Choiseul in the Solomon Islands, made from the dried stem of a fern, and notes similar work in New Britain and the Admiralty Islands. A second part on Lord Howe's Group (Ongtong Java) gives bibliographic pointers, brief notes on the islanders' origins and contacts, and two photographs of graveyards. The scan also includes the end of a preceding note on a tomahawk and the start of a book review.
