Summary

Description
English: The Bloxam Cloak, Christchurch, N. Z., Memoirs Bishop Museum, Vol. VII, Fig. 29.

An interesting cloak that I was enabled to examine while a guest of the owner in Christchurch, New Zealand, is shown in diagram No. 29. It belongs to A. R. Bloxam, Esq., and was obtained during the voyage of the Blonde of which his father Rev. Andrew Bloxam was naturalist and his uncle chaplain (1824-1825). The cloak is in fairly good condition although somewhat faded, and worn so as to show in places the tiny red feather often placed at the base of the feather of the ʻōʻō to simulate the orange of the more prized-mamo; hence a mottled appearance in the yellow portions of the cloak. Through the kindness of Mr. A. R. Bloxam we are furnished with a colored drawing of the cloak and very complete and careful measurements: the latter are as follows: Weight 4 pounds 8 ounces; circumference of neck 2 feet 3 inches; depth in front 4 feet, back 4 feet 5 inches; circumference around bottom 9 feet; lower yellow border 6 inches in front, 7.5 inches at middle of back; yellow rhomb in the middle is 27.5 x 13.5 inches. The yellow predominates leaving the design in red.
