WAI KAI'.\T,.VOA SIIKLTERS 



At the foot of Puu Made and opposite the spring, Kapalaoa, 

 T counted over 50 stone shelters in clusters of 3 to 10, and found 

 pebhles lying on the sand about Kahuinaokeone, but none among 

 the Kapalaoa shelters. I do not think the shelters can be considered 

 fortifications ; they are not in strategic positions, and are too low 

 for a man to hide behind and to defend himself while throwing 

 sling-stones. As sleeping shelters they would serve tolerably well 

 in clear weather, and isolated ones on the floor of the Crater have 

 been so used even recently. The group of shelters at Kapalaoa and 

 at Keahuokaholo are large enough to serve as sleeping quarters 

 for 150 to 200 men. 



hunter's cave terraces 



Lentil a few years ago Hunter's Cave, under the east rim of 

 the small crater Kalua o Aawa half way up the north wall of the 

 Crater of Haleakala, had been frequently used by sportsmen as a 

 sleeping place. Dr. George Aiken states that there are three ter- 

 races in the back of the cave similar in construction to the terraces 

 in Halalii. W'e were anxious to excavate the terraces in Hunter's 

 Cave but its entrance is sealed by tons of rock which fell from an 

 overhanging ledge about 191 8. 



LAIE GROUP 



On the margin of the Kalua o Umi lava flow, between Laie 

 Cave and the upper trail to Laie, are four platforms having their 

 long dimension east and west. They are about 50 feet apart, each 

 3 feet high and the other dimensions in feet as follows : the first, 

 3x6; the second, 4x6; the third 3x6; the fourth, 3x5.
