report recommending a forest reserve boundary, extending- 

 from the present private reserve of the Lihue Plantation Com- 

 pany at Kilohana Crater back of Lihue around to and includ- 

 ing the Napali District. On Thursday, September 20th, in 

 company with Mr. S. Weinzheimer, I went over the proposed 

 forest reserve boundary on the mauka portion of that planta- 

 tion, as 1 had earlier in the month visited with the Rev. J. M. 

 Lydgate, the proposed forest line across Mr. G. N. Wilcox's 

 land of Haiku. 



From September 21st to 24th inclusive, I was engaged with 

 a trip to Hanalei in company with Messrs. W. E. Rowell and 

 Fred E. Harvey of the Survey Office. The object of this trip 

 was to examine certain land within the boundaries of the 

 Halelea forest reserve on which Mr. Rowell had expressed a 

 desire to grow rubber. This matter will form a subject of a 

 report to the Committee on Forestry in the near future. On 

 September 25th I returned to Honolulu where I have since 

 been engaged with the preparation of reports and attention to 

 routine matters of the Division of Forestry. 



REPORTS OF THE FOREST NURSERYMAN. 



Special attention is called to Mr. Haugh's reports under the 

 dates of September 4th and October 2nd, in which are noted 

 various points of interest that have occurred during Septem- 

 ber in connection vv^ith his section of this Division. During 

 this period planting plans have been prepared by him for the 

 Wailuku Plantation, for Dr. J. H. Raymond, and for the Wai- 

 anae Plantation. Mr. Haugh's reports contain an interesting 

 note in regard to the work done by the Wailuku Improvement 

 Association, in which the Hon. \V. J. Coelho has taken a very 

 active part. 



TRIP OF THE FOREST NURSERYMAN TO HAWAII. 



In response to requests for planting plans Mr. Haughs left 

 yesterday for a ten days' trip to Hawaii to visit the Kukaiau 

 and Pahala Plantations, and to inspect some other planting 

 work started earlier in the season under the supervision of the 

 Division of Forestry.
