Kaiwiki & Wailea Ahupuaa, District of Hilo, Island of Hawaii, Boundary Commission, Hawaii, Volume B, pps. 455-460
Land Boundary Commission, Third Judicial District, Hawaiian Islands, Island of Hawaii
Land of Wailea and Kaiwiki, Hilo, Island of Hawaii
Application
Honolulu, December 5, 1881
Honorable F.S. Lyman, Dear Sir:
The Minister of the Interior has authorized me to make application to yourself to settle the boundaries of a tract of Government Land included in the Ahupuaas of Wailea and the Kaiwiki adjacent thereto.
The only parties that need to be especially notified, it seems to me, are the owners or lessees of Hakalau iki, where the Kaahakini gulch becomes the boundary. The stream is claimed for Wailea, but Water Rights Commissioners would have the final settlement of that, I suppose.
Whenever a day of hearing is appointed I will see that the proper maps are furnished. The tract is leased to Lee Loy at present.
Yours truly
(Signed) C.J. Lyons

I know the boundary of Wailea and Hakalau iki at sea. "Nahakaipu" is name of place in gulch, the boundary follows up the gulch to my land; then it is only a hollow ("awaawa") and up awaawa to Kaahakini gulch, and up the gulch; the water belongs to Wailea. I do not know just where Hakalau iki ends.
On the south side of Kaiwiki, the Kolekole gulch is the boundary, to Akaka, in edge of woods. I have heard that there are a number of branches to the Kolekole gulch, coming from Kaiwiki, and the boundary follows the Southern branch.
