These lines seem to explain liow these islands were sprung from Walcea and 

 Papa, according to the knowledge or belief held by Pakiii, the composer of these songs. 

 He was a priest and a historian belonging to the board of historians and genealogist 

 of the order of the priesthood. But in looking at Chapter I of this story the ideas of 

 the historian are very similar in regard to the birth or appearance of these islands. 

 Also in the song conipo.sed by Pakui in his capacity as a prophet and historian, as 

 seen in this chapter, but it will be well to note the setting of the genealogy from the 

 time of Wakea, as shown in the following chapter. 



CHAPTER IV. 



The Sktting of the Genealogy of the Islands of Hawaii net 



FROM THE Time of Wakea. 



In this chapter it seems it was the heavens that was first created and the earth 

 afterwards, and thus read the lines of the song composed by Pakui in Chapter III: 



"Wakea was the old one of Luamea, and Papa giving birth to islands was the wife. 

 Tahiti-ku of the rising sun and Tahiti-moe of the setting sun was born, 

 The foundation stones were born 

 And also the stones of heaven.* 



Therefore these were the first products of the union of Wakea and Papa; 

 Hawaii was born afterwards, as told here below: 



"Wakea lived with Papa and five children were born to them: 

 Urst, Tahiti-ku (standing or rising Tahiti); 

 Second, Tahiti-moe (setting or lying down Tahiti); 

 Third, the foundation stones; 

 Fourth, the stones of heaven; 

 Fifth, Hawaii.
