E. Wiall to erect a water tank on the Honolulu Watershed Forest Ee- 

 serve on the Tantalus ridge back of the Makiki Heights lots. 



On October 27, after President Rice and Captain Woodward and I had 

 inspected the cinder pit in the Round Top Forest Reserve, I issued a 

 permit, at the direction of the President, to the Constructing Quarter- 

 master to remove 100 loads of cinders, which were badly needed for road 

 building at Fort Armstrong. Further developments in connection with 

 this use have been made the isubject of a special report. • 



PHEASANT HUNTING IN KULA RESERVE. 



In August a new policy was established of not issuing permits for 

 hunting game birds on government lands in the forest reserves so that 

 such birds could have a place for breeding unmolested. During Octob'rr, 

 however, it was pointed out that unless an exception was made for 

 IDheasant hunting in the Ktila Forest Reserve, an injustice would be done, 

 because the government lands there are practically the only place where 

 the ordinary sportsman may hunt pheasants on Maui. On the advice of 

 the President, I therefore made an exception to this general rule, and 

 on October 27 issued eight hunting jicrmits for cock pheasants only in 

 this reserve. 



HAWAII TRIP. 



During tlie first week of the mouth I was on Hawaii with Entomologist 

 Fullaway, inspecting the control w^ork in operation against the Aus- 

 tralian fern weevil at 29 M^les, Olaa. A few new infested areas were 

 discovered but were given immediate attention and cleaned up by the 

 gang of special laborers vrorking under Forest Ranger Mackenzie. 



LECTURES ON FORESTRY. 



On October IH, I began fortnightly instruction in forestry at the 

 vocational school for enlisted men at Schofield Barracks, alternating the 

 work with Forest Nurseryman Haughs. 



On October 27, 29 and November 1, I lectured on forestry at the short 

 course for plantation men at the College of Hawaii, which was attended 

 by about 75 lunas and others connected with sugar plantations through- 

 out the Territory, The lectures covered the beneficial effects of forests 

 in general, a description of the native Hawaiian forests, their suscepti- 

 bility and the functions they perform, and the methods of protecting 

 them. These will be published in an early edition of the Forester, so 

 that they will be available to all who are interested in the subject. 



Respectfully submitted.

 Superintendent of Forestry.
