Coveted Feathers.

Mamo is the name of beautiful bird
of the Hawaiian Islands, now believed
to be extinct, having been destroyed
for the sake of its golden yellow feath-
ers, used In former days to decorate
the state robes of chiefs.
The coveted feathers Of the mamo
bird were a small tuft about an inch
long beneath each wing. The royal
cloak of the Hawaiian King Kane
hameha l., made Of these rare feathers,
was four feet long and eleven and a
half feet wide at the bottom. Tnls
cloak of mamo tufts is said to have
been buried with one of the later Ha-
waiian kings. The plumage OF the
namo was generally black, excepting
the lower back and parts of the wings
which were yellow.
