REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF FORESTRY, 



APRIL, 1921. 



Honolulu, Hawaii, April 30, 1921. 



Superintendent of Forestrv, 

 Honolulu, T. H. 



Dear Sir: 



I respectfully submit the following routine report of my work during 

 April, 1921: 



A considerable amount of time throughout the month was spent at mis- 

 cellaneous work in the office, including correspondence and the continua- 

 tion of work on the folio of forest reserve maps. Two days were occupied 

 in compiling a reference list of all reports and proclamations relating to 

 the forest reserves which have been published in the ' ' Forester and Agri- 

 culturist." At the request of the Territorial Surveyor a separate list of 

 all withdrawals and additions of land within the reserves was also pre- 

 pared. 



During the month two lots of seed of laraktogenos Kurzii, one of the 

 chaulmoogra oil trees, shipped from Burma by Mr. Rock, were carefully 

 examined for insect infestation and all suspected seeds were burned. The 

 seeds were received packed in sacks of pulverized charcoal, and were sown 

 by Mr. Haughs immediately after inspection. 



On April 7 and 16, in company with the Superintendent, I set forest 

 boundary monuments to mark the extreme south boundary of the .new Wai- 

 manalo Forest Reserve. These monuments are located respectively, on 

 the crest of the Koolau Range near its south and on the talus slope at 

 the foot of the pali immediately below the first monument. The lower 

 pipe is mauka of the beach house of Mr. Charles S. Crane and is easily 

 visible from the road or beach at that point. 



On April 20 and 21, I accompanied the Superintendent on a trip to the 

 Waianae and Lualualei Forest Reserves on Oahu. On this trip several 

 pounds of tree seeds, chiefly Ficus macropliyUa, were broadcasted from the 

 lateral ridges of Puu Kaua in the hope of possibly reestablishing a forest 

 cover in that vicinity. Just below the summit of this mountain, nine wild 

 goats were killed, most of the meat being turned over to the native laborers 

 of our forest planting crew at Waianae. 



Several days were spent in preparation for the survey of the makai 

 boundary of the Hilo Forest Reserve on Hawaii which is scheduled to begin 

 early in May. Mr. Hockley has been assigned to the work from the Ter- 

 ritorial Survey office and reached Hilo with his assistant on May 5. 



On April 28, in the company of Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Fullaway, I left 

 Honolulu on the "Matsonia,'' arriving the next morning in Hilo, where 

 we were met by Ranger Ellis. The last two days of the month and the
