In collecting the names from the primary source, the thirty-three maps and quadrangles of the islands, except those of the re-survey of Oahu, were marked in rectangles, the sides of which were one minute long, and the named geographic features located to the nearíest minute of latitude and longitude. The names are'listed exactly as they are spelled on the quadrangles and maps. No decisions have been made as to whether the names are correct. However, the Haíwaiian place names which appear in the Sixth Report of the United States Geographic Board have been compared with the same names in the gazetteer, and where the spelling is different, the nomenclaíture of that Board is given in parentheses with the letters U.S.G.B. Names which appear in that report of the United States Geographic Board and which do not appear on maps are also included.
