opening of the net when looking down the weir. It also shows up the brushwood arms of the weir very well. The net may be left in all day, but the main catch is made at night. The owner of the weir usually lifts his net very early in the morning. The nets are so easily seen and lifted that it is safer to put temptation out of the way of the passer-by. To remove the fish, the anchor is lifted, the strand untied, and the catch poured into baskets through the small end. The Fish.—The fish caught are the same as in the previous net. The weir in Plate 110, fig. 2, was made first as an experiment, for ethnological purposes. Besides papauma, one grayling was caught. Grayling had not been caught in that part of the Waiapu River for over twenty years. As the grayling goes in shoals, it was held that there were others about, and our experimental weir, being close to one side of the stream, had caught a fish from the flank of a shoal feeding farther out on the rapids. The new weir was immediately built so as to overlap the first and take in almost the rest of the stream. The next morning we caught over forty grayling. The news spread, and many unbelieving Ngati-Porou came to see them. The fish-weir industry received a great impetus, but rain came on and stopped further operations. D. Baited Trap-Net. In this class there is only one example. It differs in construction and principle from the baited bag-nets and from the set trap-nets. Hence it is set in a class by itself. Torehe. The torehe is a circular net that is kept flattened out by supplejack radials, and can be closed at will by a line passing round its circumference. In Plate 113, fig. 1, it is held vertically instead of lying horizontally, in order to show the construction. It is also called a toemi. It consists of a net, radials, bait-rest, sinker, and line. The Net.—The net is commenced in a different manner from those described. It is begun by the closed-loop commencement, but three additional loops are tied to each closed loop before the next closed loop is made on the supporting-strand. Thus the first closed loop is made as in figs. 3, 4, and 5. This loop is treated as the lower end of a mesh on which to make an additional loop, as in fig. 31. Thus in fig. 50, after tying the closed loop 1, the netting-strip is looped below it, passed through the closed loop 1, and a netting-knot made in the usual way. The loop A is, of course, gauged with the left forefinger. The netting-strip is again passed through the closed loop 1, and the loop B gauged and tied. This is repeated a third time, and we have fig. 51 with the closed loop 1 to which are attached three additional loops, A, B, and C. The closed loop 1 is called a puriri. The netting-strip is now carried over the supporting-strand and a second closed loop, 2, is tied (fig. 51). The netting-strip between the two closed loops is gauged with the left finger to coincide in level with the three loops that have been made. To the closed loop 2 three loops are attached, and this procedure continued until eight closed loops, or puriri, have been made on the supporting-strand. Each puriri carries three loops or meshes, making twenty-four in all. Between the eight puriri there are seven connecting-loops, thus making thirty-one loops to net to in the next row. The supporting-strand is now twisted so that the last mesh of the row may be brought
