In preparing the revised description of the reserve boundary, 

 the Territorial Survey Office has also made some corrections on 

 other courses than those across Anahola and Kamalomaloo. These 

 are based on more accurate data, the result of recent surveys, 

 than were in hand when the description was originally compiled. 

 The corrected description of the entire Kealia Forest Reserve 

 accompanies this report. It is numbered C. S. F. 2475, and re- 

 corded on Government Registered Maps Nos. 2282, 2449 and 

 2452. 



Believing for the reasons stated above that the proposed elim- 

 ination is for the general benefit of the Territory and that, since 

 the tree planting project has fallen through it will increase rather 

 than diminish the value of the reserve as a whole to take this 

 area out, I do now recommend that the Board approve the pro- 

 posed change of boundary and that the Governor be requested, 

 as provided 1)y law% to make the required modification. 



Very respectfully, 



(Signed) RALPH S. HOSMER, 



Superintendent of Forestry.
