Don't expect to borrow a fork or brush from your neighbor. 

 Take along enough help to handle your exhibit and see that 

 they are supplied with information about your animals that 

 visitors to your exhibit may want. Don't forget to put into 

 your equipment box a pair of hand clippers, some good brushes, 

 ])ieces of woolen cloth, a little oil and a good knife. Plan to 

 arrive at the fair grounds two or three days before the fair 

 opens so as to give your animals a chance to accustom them- 

 selves to their new surroundings before the visitors begin to 

 come. Get your entry tags from the superintendent as soon 

 as you arrive and see that you understand all of the exhibitors' 

 rules. Bed your stock well and see that it is comfortable before 

 you leave it for its first night in new C[uarters. 



On the day when the animals are to be judged, go over them 

 carefully to see that they are prepared. Get them into the ring 

 promptly when your class is called and hold your animal in 

 such a way that it shows up to best advantage. Keep your eyes 

 on the judge, never getting between him and your animal. 

 Don't volunteer information about your entry unless it is asked 

 for. Be a good sportsman and accept the judge's decision as 

 if it pleased you.

RESERVE LANDS AT KULANI, HAWAII. DESCRIBED. 

 By Joseph F. Rock, Consulting Botanist. 



The whole forest reserve area at Kulani, Hawaii, is covered 

 with a decidedly uniform and, geologically speaking, rather 

 young forest. The border below 29 Miles contains more of a 

 mixture of trees than the area further up toward Kulani proper. 

 Near 29 Miles we find that trees are more numerous, especially 

 ohia lehuas with occasional mana trees, Xylosma Hillehrandii, 

 of which the writer encountered large individuals. Dispersed 

 throughout that region is a very beautiful native fan palm 

 with large orbicular fruits described by the writer as a new 

 species under the name of Pritchardia Beccariana. Olapa, 

 Chcirodcndron, Gaudichaudii; an occasional aiea, Nothocestnim ; 

 kopiko, Straussia; olomea, Perrottetia', pilo, Coprosma; and 

 manono, Goiddia, form the rest of the arborescent growth. 



The forest is. however, mainly a tree-fern forest interspersed 

 with an occasional tree of the species mentioned. An acre of 

 this forest land may contain perhaps five or six mature trees, 

 of which four may belong to the genus Metrosideros (ohia 

 lehua). The remainder is all tree ferns composed of the two 

 common ty])es — Cibotium CJiamissoi and Cihotiiim Mcnzicsii. 

 Undergrowth is mainly composed of Cyrtandrae, Bronssaisia,
