MISCELLANEOUS. 



On March 3, in company with the Forest Nurseryman, I in- 

 spected the extensive eucalyptus plantation at Kunia,' Oahu, and 

 found the trees doing remarkably well under the arid conditions 

 existing in this region, although some windfall damage had been 

 done by the recent kona storms. 



The permit of Mr. C. M. Hudson to gather awa in the Puna 

 Forest Reserve was extended for one month, or until April 1, 

 to enable the permittee to remove the awa root which he had 

 purchased. 



In addition to the eradication of the thimbleberry, mentioned 

 above, the Forest Nurseryman and his assistants have been en- 

 gaged in destroying another pest in Makiki Valley, as described 

 in Mr. Haughs' accompanying report. This pest, Caesalpinia 

 bonduc, is a climbing vine with very wicked thorns, and tends to 

 overrun and kill everything within its reach. It will be com- 

 pletely eradicated in this region. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
