sub-leases of the area suitable for sugar cane on the lower por- 

 tions of the following lands : Halawa B, Halawa A, Aiea, Ka- 

 lauao, Kaonohi, Waieli and Waimalu. Similar sub-leases are 

 held by the Oahu Sugar Company for the cane area on the lands 

 of Waiau, Waimano, Manana, Waiawa and Waipio. In most 

 cases the leases of cane land cover only the area below the 650 

 foot level, the section between that elevation and the forest re- 

 serve boundary remaining in the control of the owner or original 

 lessee. 



It should be further noted that upon the expiration of the ex- 

 isting leases on Halawa A, Kalauao, and Kaonohi, a new lease 

 to the Honolulu Plantation Company, running till September ist, 

 1940, goes into effect, by which the area above the forest line 

 proposed in this report, is reserved. On ^^^aieli a new lease to 

 run for eleven years begins on January i, 1907, by which the 

 forest land is reserved. New leases for long terms containing 

 similar provisions will go into effect on Waimalu, and probably 

 on Halawa B as well, when the existing leases run out. The 

 lower part of Halawa B, up to the 650 foot level, is now under a 

 long lease to the Honolulu Plantation Company, which company 

 also holds the other leases just mentioned. 



From this statement it will be seen that after iQoS the only im- 

 portant lands above the forest line remaining unreserved are 

 Aiea (government), Pohakapu (Catholic ^Mission) and Waianae- 

 uka (U. S. War Department), and it is possible that some ar- 

 rangement in regard to them may be reached with the present 

 lessees. 



There are said to be a number of kuleanas of varying size with- 

 in the reserve boundary, especially on the land of Waimalu, but 

 apparently few of these lots have as yet been definitely located. 

 They need not be considered further here. 



In the preparation of the following table, I have received much 

 assistance from representatives of the various companies and 

 estates mentioned, especially from Mr. F. S. Dodge, Superintend- 

 ent of the Bishop Estate. I desire here to make grateful ac- 

 knowledgement for these favors.
