On Tantalus in an opening in the eucalyptus forest, Ranger 

 Kapihe planted out 80 Australian red cedar trees, Ccdrela aiis- 

 tralia. 



The tree planting on the Kealia Forest Reserve, Kauai, by 

 Ranger Lovell continued during the month with the planting of 

 240 silk oak and 122 lemon gum trees. 



Assistance was given during the month in two private plant- 

 ing projects in accordance with the customary offer of this Divi- 

 sion by supplying seedlings and directions for planting. One 

 of these was on the new Dowsett Tract in Nuuanu Valley, where 

 house lots have recently been placed on the market. Here the 

 Dowsett Company undertook the planting of native koa trees 

 along the paved roads 35 feet apart and 17 feet in from the curb. 

 In all 272 koa trees were thus planted out and in time should 

 form very beautiful and attractive avenues. A windbreak of 

 109 swamp mahogany trees was also planted at the upper end of 

 the tract. 



The other project was at the Oahu Country Club, where advice 

 was given on species to be planted on various parts of the links 

 with methods of planting. Over a dozen hau slips and one 

 hundred willow slips were also actually planted out under our 

 supervision. 



MisccIIa)ieous. 



One day was spent at the eucalyptus plantation of the Kunia 

 Development Company with the Forest Nurseryman giving ad- 

 vice on forest thinning and in taking growth measurements of 

 trees on sample plots. 



The report of hunting on Kahoolawe without a permit was in- 

 vestigated during the month and a strong letter to Edward Tol- 

 lefsen of Pukoo, Molokai, warning him of the offense and its 

 probable consequences brought forth the reply that he did not 

 know it was unlawful and that he was now acquainted with the 

 rules and regulations. To prevent similar offenses in the future 

 notices have been sent to be posted on Kahoolawe together wath 

 copies of Rule II to be handed out by the native boy on the island 

 to all who land there. Incidentally, Mr. Low reported to me 

 on May 15 that while on Kahoolawe recently he had driven 200 

 goats into the pen, but had released them again. 



The bulletin on the ohia lehuas of Hawaii by J. F. Rock was 

 handed to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin for publication. 



Maps and description of surveys of several new forest reserves 

 have recently been received from the Government Survey Office 

 and will be presented to the Board before long wnth appropriate 

 recommendations. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
