Note. — Mr. Powell's MS. has the following note to this Solo : 

 '0 le Solo o Ululepapa. 

 " The Song about entering into the Rock." 



March 27, 1871. ' This afternoon, on my return from Fiti-uta with 

 Taunga, I visited the place celebrated in this Solo, viz., Tauai-fu'e-fu'e 

 and the Le-vai-na f oa-i-le-papa, ' the water which burst from the rock/ 

 both situated in the land known as the Fu'e-aloa. The place where the 

 f U' reed is said to have grown has nothing peculiar, neither has the site 

 of Talanga's house, which is close by, but thy f Vai ' or water in the rock 

 is remarkable. It is a short distance from Tauai-fVe-fu'e in a north 

 easterly direction. It is a piece of black scoriaceous rock, irregularly 

 square, about two feet wide each way and eighteen inches above the 

 ground ; it has a round hole in the middle, three feet deep, and contain-

 which Ululepapa hewed in the rock to give drink to her child. — June, 

 1871. The exact measurements are : — Two feet eight inches deep in the 

 middle ; on its north side, the stone stands two feet above the ground 

 and is at that part three feet wide ; it slants down to a height of only 

 nine inches on the south side, where it is eighteen inches wide.
