 . 23. Ejuparn. — There are not many references to this name 

 in Maori traditions or poetry, but in one of the Tawhake 

 legends (An. Hist. Maori, vol. i., p. 108) we find it, and, as it is 

 there connected with the names Tutuhira, Vavao, and Baro- 

 henga, of which the first is obviously Tutuila, this must be 

 identified with Upolu, the second island in size of the Samoa 

 group. If we remember that "a" and "o" belong to that 

 series of vowels which mutually and frequently interchange in 

 Polynesia, and that the Samoans cannot pronounce the " k," 

 we have the exact word Uporu in Maori, the "1" of Samoa 

 being always reluiered by "r " in Maori. 



In Earotonga the word is Kuporu or Kupolti. By referring 

 to note No. 8 it will be seen that the word appears as K^iku- 

 paru. The word Kiiparu also occurs in a karakia given at page 

 373 of " Nga Moteatea," and these are, with the exception of 

 a song in my own collection, the only cases where I have met 

 with it. 



24. Tutuhira is found in the quotation above given. It 

 is obviously Tutuila, the third in size of the Samoan Islands. 



25. Manono occurs very frequently in both traditions and 

 song, and principally as the site of a strong fortress or town 

 which was burnt by Whakatau, a minute account of which haa 

 been preserved by the Maoris. It is often called the Uru-o- 

 Manono, " the top, or summit, of Manono." Probably the 

 little island of Manono, off the coast of Upolu, Samoa, is 

 referred to, Vv'hich has played such an important part in 

 the history of that group. At the same time, it should be 

 mentioned that there is a Manono in Moorea, Society group, 

 the site of a celebrated viaraG called Hau-rua-o-Tama (de 

 Bovis); another in Mangaia ; and, again, another in Hawaii. 



26. Parma.— This is mentioned in appendix to " Nga Mo- 

 teatea," amongst other. places, as one of those comprised in the 

 general name of Hawaiki ; and from its position with regard to 

 the vv'ord Manono I identify it with the celebrated little island- 

 fortress near Manono, off the coast of Upolu, named Apolima. 

 This is the only reference to the name I am acquainted with. 

 Possibly the name Aparima, in Southland, New Zealand, is 

 derived from it. 



27. Barohenga and Borohenga. — This name will be found 

 in the traditions of Tawhake, where it occurs in conjunction 

 with Upolu, Tutuila, and Vavao. From this connection, and
