character, now applied to a place in Kahuku where the
mountains present the form of two female breasts.]

[Footnote 384: _Lani-wahine_. A benignant _mo'o_, or
water-nymph, sometimes taking the form of a woman, that is
said to have haunted the lagoon of Uko'a, Waialua, Oahu.
There is a long story about her.]

[Footnote 385: _Miko-lo-lou_. A famous man-eating shark-god
whose home was in the waters of Hana, Maui. He visited Oahu
and was hospitably received by Ka-ahu-pahau and Ka-hi'u-ka,
sharks of the Ewa lagoons, who had a human ancestry and were
on friendly terms with their kindred. Miko-lo-lou, when his
hosts denied him human flesh, helped himself. In the conflict
that rose the Ewa sharks joined with their human relatives
and friends on land to put an end to Miko-lo-lou. After a
fearful contest they took him and reduced his body to ashes.
A dog, however, snatched and ate a portion--some say the
tongue, some the tail--and another part fell into the water.
This was reanimated by the spirit of the dead shark and grew
to be a monster of the same size and power as the one
deceased. Miko-lo-lou now gathered his friends and allies
from all the waters and made war against the Ewa sharks, but
was routed.]

[Footnote 386: _Pa-pi'-o_. A shark of moderate size, but of
great activity, that fought against Mlko-lo-lou. It entered
his enormous mouth, passed down into his stomach, and there
played havoc with the monster, eating its way out.]

[Footnote 387: _Ai pakahi, e, i ka nahele_. The company

uninhabited region barren of food. The poet calls upon them
to satisfy their Imnger by eating of the edible wild
herbs--they abound everywhere in Hawaii--at the same time
representing them as casting longing glances on the
breadfruit trees of Leiwalo. This was a grove in the lower
levels of Ewa that still survives.]

[Footnote 388: _Kolea-kani_. A female _kupua_--witch she might
be called now--that had the form of a plover. She looked
after the thirsty ones who passed along the road, and
