Meek Jr. 's land; Ewa by heirs of Marin's land sold to Dr. Judd; makai bysome grass houses of John Manini which I believe is claimed as far asDrew's shop; Waikiki by Kalama's land. These clts. are all children ofLahilahi who was Marin's daughter, and obtained their right from her. Themother died in about 1844.

"I have seen this place in Honolulu here. The bdys. are: John Meek Jr. 'splace mauka; Manini' s heirs place, Ewa; I do not know who owns the makaiplace; KalamaI s place and the place whereon the French people are livingare on the Waikiki side. Some parts of this property have not beenenclosed, and there are houses on some parts and none on other parts.
