ent diameters. This has been printed in the March Forester and will 

 doubtless be found useful to owners of algaroba lands. The table has been 

 cheeked by a leading dealer in algaroba cordwood, who finds that the 

 figures conform closely to those obtained in his operations. 



LIST OF LANDS IN FOREST RESERVES. 



In response to the request contained in House Kesolution No. 59 of the 

 Legislature now^ in session, I prepared and transmitted to the Speaker of 

 the House on March 28 a list showing the area and location of all unleased 

 and leased government and private lands in the forest reserves throughout 

 the Territory together with all available data as to whether the boundaries 

 of these lands were protected by fences. In checking up the areas at the 

 government survey office, several corrections were made in areas on account 

 of more correct map computations. It was found that there were actually 

 3,200 acres, more than previously reported, in the government land of Pii- 

 honua within the Upper Waiakea Forest Eeserve, Hawaii, and 460 acres 

 more in the government lands of Ninole-Wailau and 568 acres more in the 

 government land of Kaauhuhuula within the Kau Forest Reserve, Hawaii. 

 Since the preparation of this list, 415 acres have been withdrawn from the 

 Puu Ka Pele Forest Eeserve, Kauai. These operations have changed the 

 total acreage in forest lands, as given on pages 24 and 25 of the 1918 bi- 

 ennial report, by adding a net area of 3,813 acres. The acreage of forest 

 reserve lands on x\pril 7, 1919, is therefore as follows: 



Government. Private. Total. Per Cent. 



Kauai 81,325 66,888 148,213 18 



Oahu 34,045 33,888 67,933 8 



xMolokai 13,268 31,406 44,674 6 



Maui 74,980 46,148 121,128 15 



Hawaii 355,037 81,754 436,791 53 



Totals 558,655 260,084 818,739 100 



HA-WAII TRIP. 



At the request of the Chairman of the Public Lands Committee of the 

 House of Representatives I accompanied his party and the Commissioner of 

 Public Lands on an official trip to Hilo on ^Slarch 29, and Avhile there gave 

 my ideas as to the advisability of extending the boundary of the Hilo 

 Forest Reserve further makai on the government land of Piihonua so as to 

 give greater protection to the extension of the source of water supply for 

 Hilo. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
