Emory — An Archaeological Survey of Halcakala 255 



Hawaiian Names of Pipages Within the Crater 



On the published maps of Haleakala the names of some of 

 the principal cinder cones, peaks, and important localities are 

 lacking or misplaced, and some are different from the names used 

 by the natives familiar with the region. To remedy this defect 

 we procured the services of a Hawaiian, Leonard Poouahi, an 

 intelligent man forty-six years of age, who lives at Kaupo. 

 In company with this reliable guide and his son, Joseph, the 

 entire extent of the crater was visited and as exact information 

 as possible obtained regarding the pronunciation, spelling, and the 

 meaning of geographical terms. The result is shown in the fol- 

 lowing list to which definitions have been added by Thomas G. 

 Thrum, as indicated.
