letter, 24/04/1935, W.J.Phillips to H.D. Skinner, Phillips asks Skinner for information on Maori pendants, particularly the ones that are curled in a serpentine way. Phillips asks what the correct name for these are called as he has heard them called Mania by Graham in the article Rei-puta, which he understands to be manaia. A Mr. Best was then unsure about this name. Hamilton names these pendants Hei Matau. Phillips sent his patu paper to the editor of the Royal Anthropological Journal and wrote another paper on Maori headbands, using Bucks paper as the basis and intends to forward the paper to a journal called Oceania.
