The third cane: this cane is named Mannlcle.^ The characteristics of this cane 

 are: it is white and green striped, and has long joints. The reason for calhng it Ma- 

 nulele is because of a man with a woman. They Hved peaceably as husband and wife, 

 but after some time there grew up in one of them the desire to go astray, thus bring- 

 ing about discord, and the husband or ])erhaps the wife is taken by another. The one 

 remaining would still be very much in love, trying in various ways to occupy his mind, 

 thinking this affection would soon pass away; but no, it would not cease. Then after 

 a while some one who knows how to intensify love is heard of and is sent for, and 

 U|)on arrival this kahuna would ask, "What ails you?" The man would respond, 

 "The love of wife, that is why I am ailing; I do not desire food; I was fond of food 

 and fish when living with my wife, but at this time we are contending together, I do 

 not care for food." The kahuna would say, "That is a sickness easily cured if I should 

 treat you." Then the sick man would say, "Suppose then you treat me." "All right," 

 the kahuna would say. Then he would get this cane, that is. the Manulele, and would 

 explain as follows: "This cane is Manulele (flying bird); her love will fly to you, she 

 will cease her wanderings until you two are parted by death.". That is the name of 

 this cane, Manulele. 



The fourth cane: the name of this cane is Hoiiiiaula.'' the explanations pertain- 

 ing to it are somewhat like the Manulele's ; this cane is also used for love-making. 

 When this cane is eaten, it has tough peeling. 



The fifth cane: Akoki'^' is the name of this cane; it is a dark cane, and has red 

 leaves ; it is insipid when being eaten ; it is not like those canes mentioned above. The 

 characteristics of this cane I do not know, because they are not clear in my mind. 



The sixth cane: this cane is called Opiikca.' This cane was discovered by a fa- 

 mous man of olden times. He hunted for it until he located it at Laupahoehoe, and 

 when he found it he noted it was Opukea cane; later he went and asked Liliha the 

 name of this cane, and he was told the same name which he had already given it. 

 When it is eaten the trash is brittle; the cane, however, is white in appearance. 



The seventh cane: this cane is called the Ulcohiu.^ This cane was discovered 

 by Kulua and Paiaalani. While Kulua was lying very sick with chills and with sores 

 covering- his body, Paiaalani came to him and asked, "Why are you lying in the house 

 these days and not going out?" Kulua answered him, "I am sick indeed!" The other 

 asked, "What is your sickness?" Sores and chills," answered the sick person. "That 

 disease is easily cured if you will get that cane called Uleohiu; boil it in hot water, drink 

 some, rub some on your skin, and you will be cured." It is insipid when eaten, and 

 is also soft. 



The eighth cane: the Palaiiiiila ;" that is, the name is Palani hao if I am not mis- 

 taken. I do not know the explanation of how this cane obtained this name. But the 

 cane is red; it is soft when eaten, somewhat like the eating of the Opukea.
