A feather of the kivi kivi (Apteryx Australis) is fastened at the extremity. The lines are of flax and, as these hooks dangle astern of the canoes, the glittering appearance of the pawa attracts the fish. 5. Kupenga, or eel trap, formed of twigs, from Mokau. 6. Ko, a wooden spade, for rooting up ferns, and preparing the ground for plantations. 7. A pestle for beating flax, formed of volcanic trap. 8. Wooden flute, one of the orifices of which is tattooed to resemble the lips of a woman. 9.
