Mokoliʻi
Mokolii, formerly known as Chinaman's Hat, is a basalt islet in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaii. Mokolii is part of Kualoa Regional Park and located offshore of Kualoa Point, Oahu. The islet was at one time part of a basaltic ridge on Oahu before marine erosion separated it. ==Etymology== Mokolii translates from Hawaiian as "little lizard." According to Hawaiian mythology, the island is the remains of a giant lizard's or dragon's tail that was chopped off and tossed into the ocean by the goddess Hiʻiaka. (Note there are no lizards native to Hawaii.) The common name of Chinaman's Hat derives from its likeness to the Asian conical hat.〔
