The report of the chemist occupies many pages of matter, 

 which although uninteresting to the ordinary reader, is ex- 

 tremely important in its bearing upon the industries of the 

 Territory. During the year important analyses have been 

 made of island fodder. Many samples of soil have been 

 analysed to determine their suitability to various crops, and also 

 samples of honey, guava jelly, wattle bark, granulated sugar, 

 condensed milk and canned pineapples have been analysed 

 chiefly at the request of manufacturers who often desired in- 

 formation to overcome certain unfavorable conditions in their 

 produce. In this connection the practical value of the chemical 

 laboratory cannot be overestimated. 



The report of the Entomologist deals mainly with the bee 

 industry of Hawaii. A partial list of our chief honey produc- 

 ing plants is interesting. During the year the station has suc- 

 cessfully introduced the Italian bee into the Philippines. Silk 

 culture has occupied much attention during the year and good 

 results has been achieved. Active work has also been done in 

 the campaign against mosquitoes, not the least important step 

 in this direction has been the introduction to Hawaii of mos- 

 quito-eating fish, an account of which has already appeared 

 in the Forester. A. partial list of injurious insects in Hawaii 

 (part 2) and also a partial bibliography of Hawaiian Entomo- 

 logy make the Entomologist's report of special value. 



The report of the HorticuUnrist shows much work has been 

 accomplished to assist in the development of our resources. 

 During the year important experimental shipments of island 

 fruit have been made to the mainland, which have taught much 

 as to the best means of placing island fruit in the coast market. 

 Important reference is made to the litchi, mangosteen, wi, and 

 various other horticultural products which should ere long find 

 a place in the b'st of Hawaiian products.
