40 Director's Annual Report. 
While the following may not be apropos of the subject of this 
paper, it is submitted with the hope that it may be of use in locat- 
ing the debated site of the human bone fence or house knownas 
‘‘Kaualua’’. There is an old native of Moanalua, aged 88, who 
has lived at Kalihi, a neighboring valley, for the past twenty-five 
years. From the old man’s descriptions and the writer’s meas- 
urements it appeared that the stone described in the first part of 
this article was found immediately near the Kaualua. ‘The coinci- 
dence the writer thought might be of value as a clue to the signifi- 
cance of the petroglypks. As the old native was very feeble, the 
writer awaited an opportunity when he should feel strong enough 
to drive to Moanalua and point out the exact spot where the Kau- 
alua stood. ‘This proved to be 700 feet away from the place where 
the stone was found, which fact the writer considered was sufficient 
to remove any probability of connection between the two. ‘The 
native’s opinion could not be shaken, and suggestions of other 
sites had no influence with him. ‘The surveyors in these islands 
have found the Hawaiians invaluable in pointing out old bounda- 
ries in the former complicated land system, and it is generally 
conceded that the native testimony on land matters is reliable. 
The old man’s story will be told in its sequence. 
Fornander"™ gives the following in connection with the mas- 
sacre of the Oahu people by Kahekili, king of Maui, after the con- 
quest: ‘‘It is related that one of the Maui chiefs, named Kalaikoa, 
caused the bones of the slain to be scraped and cleaned, and that 
the quantity collected was so great that he built a house for him- 
self, the walls of which were laid up entirely of the skeletons of 
the slain. The skulls of Elani, Konamanu, and Kalakioonui 
adorned the portals of this horrible house. ‘The house was called 
‘Kauwalua’, and was situated at Lapakea in Moanalua, as one 
passes by the old upper road to Ewa. The site is still pointed out, 
but the bones have received burial.’’ Fornander’s account does 
not agree with the story told by the Moanalua natives today, which 
is repeated as briefly as possible: ‘‘Kalaikoa was chief of the dis- 
trict, lived right by the old highway where it crossed the cliff, and 
occupied himself by waylaying the travelers and killing them for 
the purpose of getting their bones to build a fence around his 
house. He was secure from reprisals, as he had a strong body of
