 I/car Sir: 



I respectfully sul)init tlie followiiiir routine statement of my work 

 during August, 11)21. 



BOUNDARY SURVEY. 



At the end of the month the j-urvey of the makai boundarj- of the 

 Hilo Forest Reserve hiad reached the point in Kaula Gulch called " Paeo- 

 opu, " which is the extreme north corner of the reserve and therefore 

 the end of the makai boundary. The distance covered by Mr. Hockley's 

 party during August is approximately 7.5 miles, extending from Poha- 

 kupuka Stream at Waikaumalo to Kaula Gulch between the lands of 

 Ookala and Manowaialee. At Waipunalei Mr. Hockley found it neces- 

 sary to make a complete resurvey of lots 12 and 13 of the Kahoahuna 

 Homesteads in order to correct an error in the original survej^ and to 

 determine the forest boundary in that vicinity. In the course of the 

 month's work several irregularities in the location of fences were dis- 

 closed. The mauka fence of lot 55, Waikaumalo Homesteads is several 

 hundred feet mauka of its correct position, infringing thus upon the 

 Robertson Estate land of Mauluanui. In Laupahoehoe, the mauka fence 

 of the government remnant under general lease 946 is approximately 

 700 feet mauka of the true boundary; Avhile on the government remnant 

 under lease 926 the present fence is 342 feet mauka at the south end and 

 1,330 feet mauka at the north end of its true location. In Waipunalei, 

 because of the peculiar status of that land at present, I requested the 

 surveyor to carry the line straight across this land from the west corner 

 of the land under lease 926 to the newly established south corner of lot 

 13, Kahoahuna Homesteads. The land of Waipunalei cannot be regarded 

 as forest reserve at present, since the upper portion constitutes a pad- 

 dock of the Parker Ranch and the lower portion is used as a pasture by 

 homesteaders under permit from the Laupahoehoe Sugar Company. The 

 effect of this use is to separate the forest in the government' land of 

 Humuula from the remainder of the Hilo Reserve, a condition which 

 fhould be corrected as soon as possible. 



At the end of the month the following portions of the boundary 

 survey remained still to be done: From Hanawai Stream in Papaikou 

 to Puu Kauku, a distance of about two miles; the tinal line of 1.2 milea 

 across Piihonua and Waiau from Hookelekele Stream to Aale Stream; 

 the inclusion of the area of Piihonua lying between Hookelekele Stream, 

 Wailuku River, and the land of Punahoa 2; determination of the Puna- 

 hoa 2-Piihonua boundary from the Wailuku River to the top of the land 

 of Punahoa 2, approximately 7 miles of straight line. 



PARKER RANCH. 



On August 1, in company with the Chief Plant Inspector, I drove 

 to Waimea to consult wnth Mr. Carter on the forestry problems of the 

 Parker Ranch. The ranch is well equipped to raise in its own nursery 

 all the common species of trees for windbreak purposes, but Mr. Carter 

 is anxious to be supplied with the less common introduced species for
