Recommendations. 



For the reasons set forth in my report on this reserve project^ 

 dated March 2, 1906, I therefore recommend that the Board 

 approve this report and adopt a resolution favoring" the crea- 

 tion of the Hana Forest Reserve, and that the Board request 

 the Governor to approve the area described as the Hana Forest 

 Reserve and to set apart such government lands within the 

 proposed boundary as are not under lease. As nearly as can 

 now be compiled the list of the lands which can be set apart 

 at this time is as follows, and includes the unleased and mauka 

 parts of the lands of Puualu, Paehala, Wailua, Waiohonu, Ka- 

 kio, Wakiu and of the Hana Forest Tract and also any other 

 remnants of isfovernment land, not under lease, within the 

 metes and bounds of the proposed Hana Forest Reserve. 



Following is the official description of the Hana Forest 

 Reserve boundary prepared by Mr. F. E. Harvey of the Survey 

 Ofhce. The original description is filed in the Survey Office 

 as C. S. F. 1690. Approximate area, 14,825 acres. 



[The technical description is here omitted as it will later be 

 published as part of the official proclamation.] 



Very respectfully, 



RALPH S. HOSMER, 

 Superintendent of Forestry. 



ANNUAL REPORT. 



Since going to press we have received a copy of the Second 

 Report of the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and For- 

 estry of the Territory of Hawaii, which covers the year ending 

 December 31, 1905. We hope to give a review of this interesting 

 publication in our next number. The Report has been widely 

 circulated by mail, but should any one have failed to get it, copies 

 may be obtained by application to the Bureau of Forestry, King 

 Street.
