Note 47 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

The method of planting these canes is not like that we see at this time; it was entirely different. Some of the oo’s47 of that time were made from the wood of the pandanus tree; this oo was taken from Kahalaoaka48 where the screw-pines were plentiful; another [kind of] oo was made from Aalii;49 this was gotten from Kahikinui50 where the aalii was plentiful; and there were many other kinds of oo. When these oo’s were obtained, they were taken home and shaped; the cutting instruments used at that time were adzes, as we have already heard the explanations of those things.
