. Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History. Natural history; Ethnology. 92 The Ancient Hawaiian House, . less in diameter, are placed in line, with equal interspaces, and firmly fixed in the gronnd; the plate, lohelau, is then placed in its groove and temporarily botind to each with cord. The opposite side is next ereAed, and the old Hawaiians ninst have had some difficulty, in case of a large house, to get the correct position, for they do not seem to have had the method of the Maori of the/M2/r<?/^2*or measurement by diagonals; at least, I find no word in the Hawaiian language corresponding to this, and while the small houses w^ere generally fairly redlangular, the large heiati or temples were often far from it when tested by the accurate methods of a survey.^' The gable ends were next taken, and a cord the length from centre to centre of the corner posts was doubled to obtain the point midway between the posts, where the highest posts, those that determined the a ^ height and so the pitch of the roof, were planted, being aligned as were the posts of the front and back. These potihana were notched on the top to receive the ridge-pole, and like the carved centre-post of the New Zealand house, had something of a sacred character, although not to the extent, per- haps, of the Maori post. Under one of these was buried the victim anciently offered to the gods, ^^ although some authorities claim one of the corner posts for this honor. As there is a special name for this ^^ost^pou o Manu^ it would suggest that it might be any convenient post. I have never dug up any bones on the site of an old house, with a single exception: in my own garden I found the skull of a young male about where an ancient house stood, but there was nothing to show what post of the house stood where the skull was found; and it might have been a simple interment. It is so long since the custom of sacrifice ceased that probably no bones would remain.
