reading proof and in attending to details in connection with its 

 publication. And in February also, when the complete report 

 was actually in press, not a little of my own time was spent in 

 seeing the minor details contributing to its correctness were at- 

 tended to. 



The report was finally issued on February 28, when about 200 

 copies were received from the printer and distributed to the mem- 

 bers of the Legislature, Territorial ofHcials and persons in one 

 way or another connected with the Board. The full edition of 

 the main report consisted of 2500 copies. There have also been 

 printed separates, containing the reports of the several divisions, 

 five hundred each. The main report has been widely distributed 

 throughout the Territoj-y and to addresses on the foreign mailing 

 list of the Board. 



ROUTINE WORK. 



Some of the most important routine matters connected with 

 the Board have been the preparation of estimates for the coming

 vision of Forestry. Much of this work leaves little to show for 

 •the time put into it, but were it not done the effect would be 

 very apparent. 



REPORT OF THE FOREST N[?RSERYMAN.

 five planting plans for as many individuals or corporations. This 

 work has necessitated one trip to the Island of Flawaii, one to 

 •the Island of Maui, and two to points out of Honolulu on this 

 island. The collection of seed from forest trees in the vicinity of 

 Honolulu has gone on as opportunity offered and a number of 

 shipments of foreign seed have been received from different cor- 

 respondents of the division. A considerable number of packages 

 of Hawaiian seed have been sent out in exchange to botanic gar- 

 dens and to persons on our Exchange List. This list is con- 

 stantly being enlarged. 



CONGRESSIONAL SEED. 



During the past two months the 1906 quota of Congressional 

 vegetable and flower seed forwarded to this office by the Delegate 

 to Congress, Hon. J. K. Kalanianaole, has been distributed to
