Something New.
Kauka Makaainana (Dr. Hillebrand) has obtained five RANA (frogs) from California, and put them in his irrigated terrace, and they are all doing fine. They have a strange call. The nature of those animals is that they have two lives. They eat small creeping insects, flies, grasshoppers, and other things like that. Therefore it is a good thing. O People of Honolulu, do not harm these new things should you see them, because they are valuable.

Holoholona ola lua seems to be a translation of amphibian!
From wikipedia:
The word amphibian is derived from the Ancient Greek term ἀμφίβιος (amphíbios), which means ‘both kinds of life’, ἀμφί meaning ‘of both kinds’ and βίος meaning ‘life’. The term was initially used as a general adjective for animals that could live on land or in water, including seals and otters.”
Cool to see the knowledge of etymology at work here.
