MISCELLANEOUS. 



The Makiki planting gang spent several days in trimming out 

 the trees which overhang the Tantalus road in the eucalyptus 

 forest and in making minor repairs to the road so as to make it 

 passable for our work. In this, assistance was rendered by sev- 

 eral grass cutters who are allowed to take honohono from the 

 lower part of the forest. 



Assistance and advice was given by the Forest Nurseryman 

 and myself to Mrs. A. G. M. Robertson who, as the representa- 

 tive of the Outdoor Circle, has undertaken to begin the improve- 

 ment of the Round Top Forest Reserve, Oahu, by setting out 

 with prison labor trees, shrubs and vines, a part of which have 

 been furnished by the Government Nursery. 



One day was spent in inspecting the improvement thinnings 

 in the algaroba forests at Nanakuli and Lualualei, Oahu, which 

 are under license from the Land Office to the Sandwich Islands 

 Honey Co. The cuttings were found to be satisfactory and the 

 new method, which I suggested, of burning the brush while still 

 green, is working out very well. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 



Superintendent of Forestry.
