Honorable R.F. Bickerton, Commissioner of boundaries for the Island of Oahu
Sir
I am instructed by His Excellency, the Minister of the Interior to make an application to your Honor to decide and certify the boundaries of the following pieces of Government land in Waikiki, viz.:
1. Keauhou and Wahinalo, adjacent to Paakea, in two parts;
2. Waiaka, a tract adjoining Kamooiliili church;
3. The “Kula & Kaaipuaa” in Kalia makai of Kaluaolohe;
4. Tract A of Rice Land in Kalia, Waiaka and Mookahi. This includes the “Loi o Kaokapokii,” and adjoins Pau & Makoku;
5. Tract B of Rice Land in Kalia, adjoining the “Auwai of Alanaio”;
6. “Kanamoa,” which adjoins Pau.

As far as appears from the survey of Waikiki, the only unsettled boundaries of the above mentioned pieces of Government land are those adjoining Paakea, awarded to V. [page 431] Kamamalu and now belonging to Her Royal Highness Luka Keelikolani, and the land of Pau belonging to the Estate of W.C. Lunalilo.

There are however claimants for portions of Keauhou and Mookahi.

The maps and descriptions of the above mentioned pieces of land are herewith submitted, and are believed to be strictly correct, and your honor is respectfully requested to appoint a day for the hearing of the case and that all parties interested may have due notice.
I have the honor to be your obedient Servant
(Signed) W.D. Alexander, Superintendent of Government Survey

The above mentioned lands were surveyed by Reverend S.E. Bishop, who will be in town about the end of December

Office of the Boundary Commissioner of the Island of Oahu
No. 38 Merchant Street, January 6th 1882

Due notice having been given to adjoining owners:

Present: S.E. Bishop, Haumea, Opunui, Mika Sole, Hookaia and Honorable S.K Kaai.

Honorable S.K, Kaai notified by written notice.

1st Keauhou and Waihinalo [sic?]. Mr. Bishop offers map made by him from his survey dated October 1881.

S.E. Bishop, sworn, states, I made these surveys of these two lands. The Boundaries on the North & East sides were made from former survey of adjoining lands; the boundary in the Southeast side between these lands & Paakea is given from testimony of kamaaina, viz., Hookaia, Opunui & Nakohana; these people went with me and pointed out these old Boundaries;

Hookahi, sworn, states, I have lived at Waikiki since 1847; I know these lands but am not well acquainted with the Boundaries. I can not say if this survey is correct. The stone wall on Northeast side I helped to build under Kekuanaoa about 1854 & it ran down to Makuaole's kuleana, after passing Kaleieapo's kuleana; it ran directly to Makuaole's kuleana. I only know all this from what I have been shown.

Haumea, sworn, states, I have lived at Waikiki since 1832. I can't[?] see this plan. I am not certain as to the Boundaries between Paakea and Wahinalo. I am the owner of Keauhou and Nauhana was the owner of Waihinalo.

Opunui, sworn, states, I have heard what the other witnesses said. One boundary of Keauhou starts from Makuole's kuleana & runs to Kaluopo[?] wall. I don't know boundaries of Waihinalo. Mahuka had [page 432] charge of Paakea. I had charge under the Kamehamehas. I always thought Kapaakea included these lands.

On these lands the matter stands over [?unreadable] then called on by the Government.

2nd Waiaka. Mr. Bishop offers a map made by him from his survey made in October 1881
Keami, sworn, states, I know Waiaka & Paakea; there is the kuleana of Kaaha, the boundaries run along this kuleana to a stone, on the one side bounded by Haulukikipi & on the other side by Kiki.
Mr. Kaai states he is satisfied with this survey.
Certificate granted.

#3 The Kula of Kaaipuaa
Mr. Bishop offers a map of this land made by him. S.E. Bishop, sworn, states, I made this survey and all boundaries are taken from adjoining Royal patents; the line adjoining Kapahulu was agreed upon between the Government and Lunalilo Estate. I found some of the original marks of adjoining lands.
Certificate granted.

#4 Tract A of rice land in Kalia, Waiaka and Hookahi.
Mr. Bishop offers a map made by himself.
S.E. Bishop, sworn, states, ....
