Up among the cliffs of Kalahaku are caves. In the largest 
one near the Crater rim, Mr. Walker found last September the 
bottom part of a gourd which had been used to carry poi. While 
Dr. George Aiken was with us he found a water-gourd in excellent 
condition lying on the east slope of the Puu o Maui. 
WAI KAPALAOA SHELTERS 
At the foot of Puu Maile and opposite the spring, Kapalaoa, 
I counted over 50 stone shelters in clusters of 3 to 10, and found 
pebbles lying on the sand about Kahuinaokeone, but none among 
the Kapalaoa shelters. I do not think the shelters can be considered 
fortifications; they are not in strategic positions, and are too low 
for a man to hide behind and to defend himself while throwing 
sling-stones. As sleeping shelters they would serve tolerably well 
in clear weather, and isolated ones on the floor of the Crater have 
been so used even recently. The group of shelters at Kapalaoa and 
at Keahuokaholo are large enough to serve as sleeping quarters

HUNTER’S CAVE TERRACES 
Until a few years ago Hunter's Cave, under the east rim of 
the small crater Kalua o Aawa half way up the north wall of the 
Crater of Haleakala, had been frequently used by sportsmen as a 
sleeping place. Dr. George Aiken states that there are three ter- 
races in the back of the cave similar in construction to the terraces 
in Halalii. We were anxious to excavate the terraces in Hunter’s 
Cave but its entrance 1s sealed by tons of rock which fell from an 
overhanging ledge about 1918. 
LAIE GROUP 
On the margin of the Kalua o Umi lava flow, between Laie 
Cave and the upper trail to Laie, are four platforms having their 
long dimension east and west. They are about 50 feet apart, each 
3 feet high and the other dimensions in feet as follows: the first, 
3 x0; the second, 4x 6;"the third 3 x69 thertotmd seas
