The Mollllll and Walklkl cemeteries
In the church lots I did not Investigate.
Kataepohaku cemetery Is situated
above the Insane Asylum. The place
has been used for jears but theio Is
nn nbundnnco of unused ground. The
soil Is rather rocky but Is covered with
plenty of good earth. There arc no
people living anywhere neur the cemc
ter 1 he only objection to the cemetery Is
that nt the base of the hill are several
springs which mny be polluted by seep
age from the cemetery.
Puco cemetery nt Pnlamn above Ka
mchamcha schools on the Houghtall
lug load Is an old native bur)lng
ground nnd the only way to locate
graves In the old portion Is to llnd
sunken spots, Tho cemetery Is badly
crowded In the old portion through

gi) The new portion has been fenced
on and divided up Into lots nnd evi
dently only eighty or ninety Inter
ments have been mndc In It. It Is
about 200 feet square. The soil Is good
red dirt for about four feet nnd cov
ers a strata of black sand. The ceme
tery Is nearly Hat and slopes slightly
toward a dry ditch or gully.
There are no residences on either
side or mnuka of It and only a few be
low It so that It Is practical!) Isolated.
Kaumakaplll Church Cemetcr) Il
situated in the church lot directly be
hind the new lire station, at Palama,
on the lane Just Hwa of the Reform
atory School.
Tho lot Is only about 25 feet by 123
feet In size and according to the care
taker Is prett) well full, though almost
all graves are levelled.
'lhc (urination Is of coral rock with
n covering of two feet of loose earth.
It Is about ten feet above water level
and within three bundled feet of n
stream.
The locality Is thleklj populated on
three sides und tho Reformatory
School Is on tho other.
Kallhl-waena Catholic Cemetery Is
loeuted on tho Kaincliameha IV. road I
In the church premises. It Is about
225 feet by 125 feet In size and lies
between the church nnd the street.
The soil Is red dirt with small rock
down for ten or twelve feet ut least.
There Is no dralnngc toward any
stream or pond.
The locality Is fairly well settled.
The cemetery Is about half-used.
Kahonohelemano Cemetery Is In the
Protestant Church lot on the Kanicba
mclia IV. road nbovo the Catholic
Church about 300 feet. There have
been only about twenty burials In this
place, and thero are room for at least
two hundred more.
Soil and drainage aro the same as nt
tho Catholic cemetery.

on Wylllo street I did not Investi

eral location aro good.

tlon of this convention"
The corresponding secretory was or
