Iptt Lei. i4g poho aho were composed of bowUliaped gourds, and others of long narrow gourds, covered with half a small gourd or coconut. Similar cordings enclosed both styles, and the most finished in appearance is that around the ipn le'i in Fig. 158. This cording, called koko, or koko ipu le4, is a combination of the aha hawele firmly fastened around the wooden part, to the upper cords of which a netting is attached to en- close the cover. The netting is closed around the cover by a draw string, which also serves to carry the utensil. In a few specimens the aha hawele has been dispensed with, the netting being fastened through holes bored in the upper edge of the lower part, Fig, 159. This last method was also used on the hinai poepoe^ which have been treated by Dr. Brigham in the previous portion of this memoir. An- other and sim- pler method of attaching cords to these articles is shown in Fig. 160; here the edge of the lower part has been pierced at two opposite points, from which two cords were led upwards through holes in the cover. Before passing from the gourd cordings, it might be in order to mention the several means of securing handles to gourds in vogue among the natives. The sim- plest form noticed is a coir or hau cord around the neck of the huewai, when the mouth of the gourd bulges, Fig. \6\a\ some of the cords were roughly made and tied, but in others the cord has been braided and then attached by a double half hitch. A few of the huewai pueo have also been treated in this manner, Fig, 161 ^. When the huewai was not pueo or bulged at the mouth, then a handle was sometimes attached by making a hole at the base of the neck and through it drawing and knotting both ends of a loop of coir or hau cord or braid, Fig. 161 <^, or, by boring the edge of the mouth at two.
