Ropes.—The main drag-rope is tied to the pouwaenga. The side ropes tied to the punga uprights are called tangitangi, the same name as the second set of uprights. They join the main rope about 4 ft. from the pouwaenga. The net of the paepae has no special name. The one I saw had a 2 ¼ in. mesh. The opening of the net-was fitted to the framework of the paepae and whitiwhiti. From this opening the net gradually narrowed down to a point about 10 ft. 10 in. away. To this point was attached a piece of rope 7 ft. long, which carried the punga, or koremu (the stone sinker). Fig. 2.—Paepae, or dredge-net. I saw Ngati-Uenuku-Kopako at Mokoia Island with a paepae of which the arch, or whitiwhiti, was composed of thick, plain wire. The paepae bar was 10 ft. 8 in. long, and extra uprights were inserted between the punga and tangitangi uprights These were called whitiwhiti, the same name as the arch. Naming.—As in the case of other nets, good paepae, which caught large catches, were named after ancestors or near relatives. Method of Dredging.—When collecting these notes we went hauling on the Moari grounds off Mokoia. The first procedure was to plant a long pole, called a turuturu, firmly into the bottom of the lake, on one edge of the rather shallow fishing-ground. A fairly long rope of whanake leaves was tied near the bottom of the turuturu before it was thrust down. It takes a skilled man to plant the turuturu. On touching bottom it is gently twirled with one hand, and gradually insinuated more and more deeply
