 ception of a few which we have agreed to fill at intervals during

Makiki Station. 



The work at this station has been principally routine. Owing 

 to the great demand for trees during the past several months 

 our stock has become very much reduced. We are now busy 

 building up our stock again. 



Honolnlu Watershed Planting. 



A piece of land above the planted forest on Kalawahine tract 

 was planted with koa trees during the month, 706 being used. 

 We are now clearing off and preparing for more planting in 

 the lower end of Hering Valley.
