spected by me while the surveyors were on the ground and the 

 boundaries of the hind applied for were familiarized. 



Forest Reserve Matters. 



. A short stretch of fence was constructed on the boundary of 

 the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve in Makiki in order to 

 mark the line adequately and prevent trespass by stock. Other 

 short stretches in Palolo and Manoa will receive similar attention. 



The Manoa Ranger Station house was completed during the 

 month and experimental tree planting on the station will soon be 

 begun. 



Ranger Lovell, during the month, has continued planting tim- 

 ber tree seedlings on government lands within the Kealia Forest 

 Reserve, Kauai, and reports that all of the trees planted to date 

 have survived. 



Australian Red Cedar. 



Through the kindness of Mr. A. \\\ van Valkenburg, several 

 pounds of seed of the Australian red cedar, Cedrela austral is, 

 collected by Mr. E. C. Smith, have been turned over to the forest 

 nurseryman for propagation. This tree, which is valuable for 

 timber, has already been tried at Kunia, Oahu, where in a dry 

 situation it is doing remarkably well. This introduction should 

 be a distinct addition to the timber flora of the islands. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
