DIVISION OF HYDROGRAPHY. 



Honolulu, March 10, 1914. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 



Gentlemen : — The following- report of operations of the Divi- 

 sion of Hydrography during Fehruary, 1914, is submitted: 



DROUGHT. 



The rainfall during I^'ebruary was generally very light, with 

 the result that all streams are very low. \\'hilc all reports from 

 other islands have not been received, indications point to the 

 driest February in a long period of years. All streams on Oahu

 plan for such a condition.
