MISCELLANEOUS. 



At the request of the President of the Board of Health, Con- 

 sulting Botanist J. F. Rock has kindly consented to cooperate in 

 the compilation of a list of herbs and plants having medicinal 

 properties in order to assist in carrying out the purpose of Act

The Maole conduit in Nuuanu valley was inspected and a

 of lopping in order to reduce their unsightly appearance and the 

 fire danger. The matter was called to the attention of the Land 

 Commissioner who issued the license and he has requested the 

 licensees to attend to the matter. 



One day was spent in the Waianae region with a holder of 

 a license from the Land Office to gather algaroba beans, in order 

 to advise on methods of thinning out the thick trees so as to 

 increase the yield of pods and facilitate gathering them. 



Another day was spent on Tantalus with a government sur- 

 veyor investigating proposed exchanges of land requested by the 

 Land Commissioner which will soon be presented for approval. 



KAUAI TRIP. 



On October 30 I sailed for Kauai and the last day of the month 

 was spent with the Surveyor of the Territory in going over the 

 proposed camping sites in the Na Pali-Kona forest reserve back 

 of Waimea canyon and determining methods for describing camp 

 site areas in permits. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
