soldiers at his call. After killing his victims he extracted the long 
arm and leg bones and planted them upright in the ground to 
make a low palisade. Retribution overtook the bloodthirsty chief, 
for when he had the fence completed, except for the bones of one 
man, he died, and his bones were used to fill the gap.”’ 
Lapakea is in the valley, about 500 feet away from the cliff. 
Were all details known today, the two versions would probably be 
found to fit together, except in regard to the bone ‘‘house’’. The 
old man’s story agrees with the last, except that he says that the 
bones of two men were needed to complete the fence when Kalai- 
koa died. He had seen the fence, and the following details were 
gleaned on the spot: The fence was composed of the leg and arm 
bones placed erect in the ground as close together as the fingers 
when relaxed. ‘They were not tied. There was a single line of 
fence, making a square enclosure, one side of which was fifty feet 
(paced). In this enclosure was a large stone platform on which 
the grass house had stood, but there was no house standing when 
he first saw the place. Well outside the enclosure, 60 feet to the 
south, was a small house, built entirely of stone, into which the 
remaining portions of the murdered bodies were put. He had seen 
the bones there himself. The house was not an zw (underground 
stone-lined oven) but of proper house shape, large enough for the 
body of aman. ‘The road passed between this and the fence. 
This house the old man spoke of as a ‘‘heiau’’ dedicated to 
the war god Kaili. It had walls three feet high and four feet wide, 
with a pitched roof of stone and a door facing the bone fence. 
Outside the door was a stone pavement, where the priests gathered. 
As pointed out, the Kaualua was in the land of the same 
name close to the boundary of Puu Kapu. The land of Kaualua 
is a small piece on the plateau about 600 feet wide between Puu 
Kapu and Puu o Ma’o. The boundaries of the various small 
sections were named for the writer’s edification as they were 
passed. The site of the Kaualua is now occupied by a well built 
private road and was found at the place where the road passes over 
a subway used as a cattle drive. 
The description given by Peter Corney's in 1818 of a bone 
fence on Oahu, although not specifying the locality, is probably a
