Puaa is bounded makai by the sea and the land has ancient fishing rights near the shore, but not extending out to sea. Thence commencing at a punawai by the seashore called Holoke, between the lands of Puaa and Auhaukeae and running mauka to Poholua, a huli pali near the shore and just above a house; thence along iwi aina, the boundary runs mauka to Kuinakihei, an oioina way above pa aina; or Governor Adam's wall; thence to Puukole, a breadfruit tree; thence to Nuanulapalapa, a kualapa; thence mauka to Keahupuaa, the [page 377] the [sic] boundary follows the iwi aina, along all these places; thence to a kihapai by the mauka Government road; thence to an Ahupohaku; thence along the iwi aina to Kanoweana, an old kauhale, a rose[?] bushes and a Puuhala tree are at this place from thence ....
