Excerpt from Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History, Vol. 5

A few of similar names occur in the collection, indicating, in some cases, different versions of the same story, a number of the more popular legends having several versions.

The closing part of this volume, to embrace the series of Lahainaluna School compositions of myth and traditional character, it is hoped will be found to possess educational value and interest.

No liberties have been taken with the original text, the plan, as outlined, being to present the various stories and papers as written, regardless of historic or other discrepancies, variance in such matters being treated in the notes thereto.
