Hazvaii Trip. 



The matters investigated during- my trip to Hawaii from 

 December 9 to 11, 1915, have already been made the subject 

 of a special report which has received your consideration. 

 Briefly, this special report announced the completion of the 

 hog-proof fence around Section B of the Olaa Forest Park re- 

 serve, called the Koa Grove, at 29 Miles on the Volcano road ; 

 the plan of fencing at once Section A of this reserve in the re- 

 gion of 24 Miles; the proposed elimination of some of the re- 

 served narrow strips in Section C along the Volcano road, on 

 which the native forest was mostly dead ; and the proposed 

 creation of a new reserve to include wide strips of land in Wai- 

 akea along the Volcano road. 



On this trip I also inspected the sub-nursery at Hilo, in 

 charge of Br.Matthias Newell, and found everything satisfac- 

 tory. 



Trees Planted in ipij. 



In order to obtain more complete information than in the 

 past on the number of trees planted annually, I prepared and 

 mailed out eighty-five reply postal cards to tree planters in the 

 Territory on the last day of the year. The reply cards, most 

 of which have already been returned, give not only the total 

 number of trees planted during the calendar year 1915, but 

 also the species, the purpose and the locations of planting;-, 

 This complete information will make our statistical report on 

 the subject of greater interest. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD,
