has been successfully done, for under the existing- economic condi- 

 tions in Kau, including the lack of markets and the difficulty in 

 transportation, it is not profitable to go further mauka than the 

 present limit of cultivation. 



Wherever possible advantage has been taken of natural 

 boundaries, of existing fences, or of other limits already on the 

 ground. Certain prominent points along the line have been marked 

 with the sections of galvanized iron pipe constituting the lower 

 part of forest reserve monuments, so that the upper sections of 

 the monuments can now be put in place at any time. At other 

 points on the line it may be well later to erect other and more 

 conspicuous monuments, such as fern and rock alius, but these 

 details need not be discussed here. 



DESCRIPTION. 



A brief and popular description of the proposed boundary of 

 the Kau Forest Reserve is as follows : 



Starting on the Kahuku boundary at the northwest corner of 

 the Puumakaa-Kiolakaa Homesteads and running along the 

 mauka line of said homestead tract (already fenced) to the Waio- 

 hinu Springs ; thence across the lands of Kahilipali 2, Kaunamano 

 and Kioloku above the present (1906) mauka boundary of the 

 cane fields to the northwest corner of Honuapo ; thence across 

 the lands of Hionaa, Hokukano, Kaalaiki and Hilea, to a point 

 on the mauka side of Pakua Hill ; thence to and following the 

 upper line of the Ninole Homesteads across tp a point on the 

 Puu Enuhe Ridge; thence across the lands of Punaluu, Moho- 

 kea and Aloaula above the cane fields to a point on the majcai 

 face of Puu Kaumaikeohu ; thence to and following the flume line 

 laid out by Mr. J. S. Emerson in 1903, to Kahaha Triangulation 

 Station ; thence to and around the cane fields at the head of the 

 so-called Wood Valley ; thence around and including the so-called 

 Mud Flow on the eastern side of said valley ; thence following 

 the fences making the mauka line of the cane fields, and the 

 Kapapala forest reserve fence to the point where it turns mauka 

 back of and northwest from the Half Way House ; thence follow- 

 ing the Kapapala forest reserve fence mauka and to the westward 

 to the southeast corner of Kahuku ; thence in a general sputh- 

 westerly and southerly direction along the Kahuku boundary to 

 the initial point.
