letter, 29/04/1935, H.D. Skinner to W.J.Phillips, Skinner is unsure if the Maori pendant that curls in a serpentine way is called manaia, as he also heard it called koropepe. Skinner discusses a hei matau, described as a pendant in the form of a one-piece fishhook, and that the museum has hybrids of hei matau and koropepe. Skinner ends the letter saying that he no longer has editorial connection with the Journal of the Polynesian Society.
