LOCATION AND AREA. 



The section proposed to be reserved includes the area at 

 the head of the two valleys, above the homesteads in Lua- 

 hialei and above the cultivated area in Waianae-kai. The Lua- 

 lualei tract may be roiis^hly described as follows: 



Lualualei : That portion of the land of Liialualei, District 

 of Waianae, Island of Oahii, lying- on the v/estern slope of the 

 \\'aianae Mountains, bounded on the West and Southwest by 

 the mauka line of the Lualualei Homesteads, on the East and 

 Northeast by the summit ridge of the Waianae Mountains, and 

 on the Northwest and Southw-est, respectively, by the summit 

 ridge of the spurs dividing Lualualei from Waianae-kai and 

 from Nanakuli. 



Waianae-kai : 'i hat portion of the land of Waianae-kai, Dis- 

 trict of Waianae, Island of Oahu, lyiug* of the Western slope 

 of the AA'aianae Tvlountains, bounded on the Southwest and 

 South bv a line drawni from Kaw^aopuu to Puu Kolealiilii, 

 thenc? to and along the foot of the ridge dividing Waianae-kai 

 from ]\lakaha to the Makaha boundary; on the Northeast by 

 the summit ridge of the Waianae Mountains, and on the North- 

 west and Southeast, respectively, by the summit ridge of the 

 spurs dividing Waianae-kai from IMakaha and Lualualei. 



The area of the proposed Lualualei Reserve is 3,743 acres. 

 That of Vvaianae-kai I do not know, but it is perhaps two- 

 thirds that of Lualualei. Both of the lands were formerly 

 classed as "Crow'n lands." 



DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACTS. 



As each valley presents some individual problems it may be 

 well to consider tiiem separately. 



Lualualei. 



The characteristic features of the Lualualei Forest Reserve 

 project are the fencing problem and the existence of a public 

 way across the area. 



When the Lualualei homesteads were sold one of the provi- 

 sions was that the mauka line of each lot adjoining the forest 

 area should be fenced. The period during which this work 

 must be done does not expire for about tw^enty months yet. 

 So far none of the mauka fences have been built although
