Miscellaneous.

Edge Partington⁷ has figured two caps formerly worn by the master of ceremonies at native dances, and also a shield carried by the same official. They are to be found in his Ethnographical Album of the Pacific Islands, First Series, Part I.

In the same album is figured a representation of " Ronga, a rude human figure formed of cords of plaited sinnet covered with feathers, from Arutanga, a district of Aitutaki." This was probably meant to represent the god Rongo.

Mask. In the Auckland Museum there is a mask labelled as having come from Aitutaki. The figure has a serrated crown, and wears a long beard. It is painted with European paint. The mask looks so much like Father Neptune that it has not been reproduced for these pages.
