Kane (the royal dog- of Kane) ; na moo (lizards) ; moo niho nui, niho oi, wawaka a Kane 

 (the sharp, large-toothed, iridescent lizard of Kane) ; ka moo olelo a Kane (the talking 

 lizard of Kane) ; ka moo kolo (the crawling lizard ) ; ka moo pelo a Kane (the deceitful liz- 

 ard of Kane) ; ka moo kaala (the warring lizard) ; ka moo kaula a Kane (the prophetic 

 lizard of Kane) ; ka moo make a Kane (the deadly lizard of Kane), etc. The moo-pelo a 

 Kane was said to be very skillful in lying and in the old mele he is called "he ilioha kupu 

 ino ku o ka moku." 



Kumu Honua and his wife Lalo Honua lived in Kalana i Hauola until they were 

 dri\'en out by "Ka Aaia-Nukea-nui-a-Kane" — the large white bird of Kane. In Kalana i 

 Hauola grew the "///;/ Icaf^ii a Kane" and the "ohia lieinolele a Kane" — (the sacred 

 breadfruit and sacred apples.) 



It was thought by the priests of old that these talnied friuts were the cause of the 

 trouble and death of Kumu Honua and Lalo Honua. Hence in the ancient meles the 

 former was called Kane Laa-Uli, Kumu-Uli, Kulu-Ipo — (the fallen chief — he who fell 

 from, by, or on account of the tree, the mourner, etc. ) or names of similar import. 



The legends further relate that if strangers ate of the ripe apples of this land, 

 Kalana i Hauola, they died forthwith, and that the native inhabitants, knowing this, never 

 ate them. Here also, and here alone, [grew the] "ivanke kapu a Kane" the cloth which 

 was forbidden to be worn by any but the Alii-kapu who had been properly anointed by the 

 "(//7(7 ;//';/ a Kane." 



Among many other names for this land was Ulu-Paupau — the fruit which caused 

 defilement and degradation. Another name was Pali-uli. The legend says : 



"He aina kapu o Pali-uli. Pie aina hemolele. He hoopololei ka loaa o ua aina la. 

 Pie hoiu kajm loa ka hoomakavikau ana, i mea e loaa 'i ua aina la. Ina hewa, aole no e 

 loaa ana. Ina e nana i hope, aole no e loaa. Ina e aloha i ka ohana, aole no e komo i 

 Pali-uli." (A sacred land is Pali-uli, a holy land. One must be righteous to attain it; he 

 must prepare himself exceedinglv holy who wishes to reach that land. If sinful he 

 will not get there; if he looks behind he will not get there; if he prefers his family he will 

 not enter in Pali-uli ) . Says the chant : 



O Pali-uli, aina huna a Kane 



ka aina i Kalana i Hauola. 



1 Kahiki-ku, i Kapakapaua a Kane. 

 O ka aina i kumu, i lali. 



O ka aina ai nui a ke Akua. 



O Pali-uli, hidden land of Kane, 



Land in Kalana i Hauola, 



In Kahiki-ku, in Kapakapaua of Kane, 



The Land whose foundation shines wi*h fatness. 



Land greatly enjoyed by the god. 



Ulu Kaa was another name for Kalana i Hauola. Aina Huna a Kane, another 

 name. Also Aina a Kane Huna Moku ; Aina Kapu a Kane; Aina Elieli a Kane, and Aina 

 i ka Houpo o Kane. This land or Paradise was the central part of the world — "kc
