Re specimens described as collected by Captain James Wilson of the Duff, 1796-98. Doubt has arisen as to the possibility of Wilson actually getting them from New Zealand as the Duff did not voyage there. The specimens were acquired from a descendant of Captain Wilson and they had been handed down in the family as his.

1031 Neck-ornament (hei-tiki). Beautiful milky medium-green jade with a darker vein across head; the back shows three curious parallel bands of darker and harder jade, standing in slight relief through wear. Very finaly carved; three-fingered hands on thighs; three-toed feet, one pierced; ankle-bones shown; body stands out in high relief. Height, 5½ins.; width, 3⅜ins. Female. This speciman I consider to be the finest-proportioned tiki in my collection. Brought to England in 1847 by Mr. Elliot Macnaghten, Chairman of the East India Coy., and acquired by him while in India. It remained in the Aberconway family until added to my collection.

690 Neck-ornament (hei-tiki). Milky even light-green jade; projections shown for ears; unusual lug for suspending-hole like No. 522, plate 17. Height, 4ins.; width, 2½ins. Female. This is of the same type as Nos. 93 and 332, plate 16.

1033 Neck-ornament (hei-tiki). In process of making; dark-green jade; one hand resting on breast and the other on thigh; small ear-projections and another on chin; curious forked tongue; suspension-hole not commenced. Height, 5ins.; width, 2⅝ins. Broken. This is evidently of the same type as No. 93, plate 16.

1034 Weaver's tapu peg (turuturu). Hard dark-red wood, carved and pierced with two pairs of figures back to back; necks and arms entwined; hands, with long curved centre fingers, rest on bodies; large tongues; serrated shell eyes (two missing); top has been fractured and repaired. Three of the figures are female. Length, 17½ins.; width, 1¾ins. x ⅞in. Ex. collection of H. B. Bompas.

156 Weaver's tapu peg (turuturu). Three male figures. Shows detail of the remarkable eyes in lower figure. Fully described at plate 26.

157 Weaver's tapu peg (turuturu). Enlarged detail of carving, see plate 26.

114 Chief's adze (toki). Enlarged detail of carving. See plate 22.

1032 Feather-box (waka-huia). Massive square type, heavy dark-brown wood, deeply recessed rectangular lid. The base is carved with an unfinished design of four figures set cross-wise, the two larger figures have their heads projecting at ends, mouths are of huge size. Both sides are finely carved with a very unusual design of two lizard-bodied figures, one larger - 38 with head in high relief, the other is smaller with a manaia head set sideways; on one side both figures are female and on the other the larger one is male. The ends are carved with an unusual lattice-design. Length, 20½ins.; width, 7ins.; height, 4½ins. Extremely old, probably from the Taranaki district.

73 Preserved head of a Maori chief (iri-whakairi= head of slain enemy when dried). Old moko very complete excepting the lower spirals on left cheek. On the right near ear there is moko of very unusual design, much fainter than the other work, there is also a patch of lighter-coloured skin on this cheek; hair is cut short in front; finely made flax hand-hole. Exceptionally heavy, 3 lb. 4 oz.
