Testimony
Kaili, kane, sworn, I was born in Kohala at the time of the great famine, now live in Kokio; know the boundaries of Kahualiilii. Kiha, my Father and Pohina, my Uncle, showed them to me. I do knot know all the boundaries between Kahuanui and Kahualiilii. Bounded on the north side at shore by the land of Pahinahina, commencing at a cave called Lehua, the boundary runs makai to a point at the sea shore called Kananakauwa; thence it runs mauka to a pile of rocks at Lehua; thence mauka to an ahu named Panipani; thence mauka to another pile of stones and thence to a place, called Kilohana where there is a pile of stones that Kahuhu and I built when Wiltse was surveying. Kilohana is an old resting place; thence mauka to Ahuaele; an ahua with a pile of stones on it; thence mauka to Pahukinikini, [page 139] a small ahua with a pile of rocks on it; thence to Puuolani hill, this is along the land of Pahinahina; that was sold to Makuaole and is now owned by Kanehaloa of Puuehuehue; thence to Lolelole, the mauka corner of land sold; thence mauka to Ahaloa, an old kauhale at the mauka corner of Pahinahina; thence along Makeloa (belonging to Kamehameha & Estate); thence the boundary runs mauka to Kalolo, a water hole in a gulch, thence across the gulch and mauka along the land of Kalala; thence mauka to Puukoa; a hill of Koa, at the mauka corner of Kanehalo's land; thence along Kailikea, a land mauka of Puukoa (Wiltse, in surveying, cut off a corner of Kalala, and ran the line to Holeipalaoa gulch[)]; there is a rock there on the mauka side of the gulch marked KK; thence it is bounded by Kehena to Kilohana on Honokane pali (Note See Certificate of boundaries of Kehena); Thence along Honokane pali towards Waimea, to the Waimea side of Puuwau hill, the boundary being some distance this way of the town kauhale; Bounded at shore by a small gulch called Haaho, a rock marked K is at this place; thence up the gulch to an ahua; thence up to where Keawewai gulch crosses Haolo gulch; thence the boundary runs up the north side of the gulch; thence to a place called Kapakamakahonu; thence to Pohakuloa, a large rock in the gulch; thence to an ahua; thence to Kawaihae Government road; thence to Puuala; thence to Niupaa, a bullock pen, the boundary passing through the center of the pen.
