Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 

 Honolulu. 



Gentlemen : I have the honor to submit the routine report 

 of the Division of Forestry for the period from October 3rd to 

 date. 



During the first portion of this period I was in Honolulu, 

 engaged with the preparation of reports upon the land of 

 Kaohe, Hawaii, and a modification of the Halelea (Kauai) 

 Forest Reserve boundary, and routine matters of the Division. 

 The two reports were submitted to the Committee on Forestry 

 on October 15th. 



On October 16th, in response to a request from the Hawaiian 

 Mahogany Lumber Company, Limited, I went over to Hilo on 

 the Kinau and spent the next week with Mr. E. H. Cant, the 

 manager of the company, going over vv^ith him in detail, on 

 the ground, his plans for logging the mature Koa on the 

 Bishop Estate land of Keauhou, Hawaii. I returned by the 

 Mauna Loa, arriving in Honolulu on the 26th. 



Mr. Haugh's time during the greater part of October has 

 been occupied in supervising the shipment of plants, sent to 

 various schools throughout the Territory for use on Arbor 

 Day, November 2nd, and in preparing planting plans and re- 

 ports upon the tracts in Hamakua and Kau examined by him 

 during his recent trip to Hawaii. 



ROUTINE WORK. 



On October nth. Miss Marie Legros was appointed for a 

 temporary period as assistant clerk to undertake certain routine 

 office work under the Board, consisting of the re-arrangement 

 of the mailing list, the classification of the card catalogue of 

 United States Experiment Station publications and certain 

 other work in connection with the Library. 



The second annual report of the Board for the calendar year 

 1905 appeared on Saturday, October 13th, when a few advance 

 copies were received from the printer. This report will be gen- 

 erally distributed within the next few days when mailing 

 envelopes are received.
