In this issue the pubhcation is begun of a treatise on 'The 

 Kalo in Hawaii," of which Professor MacCaughey and Mr. 

 Joseph Emerson are the authors in collaboration, the former as 

 botanist and the latter as historian. Judging by the introductory 

 chapter forming the first instalment, the brochure is one that 

 will attract much interest at home and abroad. 



An article in this number on "Insect Control," by C. R. Jones, 

 the Philippine entomologist, seems to contain much matter of 

 useful applicability to Hawaii. 



Various short selected articles, relating to diversified agricul- 

 ture of kinds already existent in Hawaii or adapted to its soil and 

 climate, will be found in this number. 



A review of a bulletin of the experiment station of the Univer- 

 sity of Illinois, on tubercle. bacilli, appears in this number, which 

 ought to be of much local interest in view of the campaign against 

 bovine tuberculosis which has been so successfully established on 

 the Island of Oahu and must in time be extended to cover the 

 whole group.

 which has been under way for the past three months has been 

 finished. The main j)arts of this work come under the following 

 heads : 



(1) Doi^ Quarantine Section. As already reported, six addi- 

 tional enclosures were provided, making a total of 24 individual 

 enclosures, more than half of which can be made to hold two or 

 more dogs, if the same belong to one owner or arrive approxi- 

 mately at the same time. The most important improvement, how- 

 ever, is the reinforcement of all the enclosures with a concrete em- 

 bankment 12 to 18 inches wide ak)ng the inside of the foot boards, 

 making it impossible for an animal to dig out and escape. This 

 arrangement in no way detracts from the sanitation of the pens,
