Note 11 — PREFACE. (continued 4)

After resting for some time he pushed out his spear and flew to Kaula in Hamakua, Hawaii, the dividing line separating the districts of Hilo and Hamakua. From this place he continued on until he found Lupea, a sister of Hina, who was living above Kaawalii; she was one of Palila’s attendants. Lupea is a hau tree to this day, and wherever the malo of Palila was spread out to dry no hau11 tree has grown even to this day. This was caused by the god Ku, the god of Palila, a god of supernatural power. There was at Hilo a temple also called Humuula, like the one on Kauai, which was also sacred, and furthermore it was also under the control of the spirits and was just as powerful.
