DIVISION OF HYDROGRAPHY. 



Honolulu, June 9, 1914. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 



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

 sion of Hydrography for the month of Alay, 1914, is respectfully 

 submitted : 



KAUAI. 



Weather conditions were most unusual. Much rain fell on 

 the lowlands with but few storms. The mauka rainfall was very 

 light in total, while the entire northern end of the island had 

 almost continual rainfall. The clock register station on the Lu- 

 mahai stream at an elevation of 750 feet was completed under 

 conditions of almost continuous rainfall. 



Rain gages, with evaporation gages, were established on the 

 Lumahai and Kalihi-wai streams at the 750-foot elevation. 



The clock register station on the South Wailua river near 

 Lihue was found to be at a standstill. The cause was found to 

 be a bees' nest in the float well, which contained a half bushel of 

 honeycomb. 



Work was started on the new Waioli stream clock register sta- 

 tion trail on May 24. A station will be established on this stream 

 (which is government water) at an elevation of about 700 feet. 

 A new trail about 2j/2 miles in length will have to be built to 

 reach this station. 



Fifteen stream- 

 stations were visited during the month. 



OAHU. 



Oahu was well supplied with rainfall during the month. Rec- 

 ords for the stations along the Koolau range were spoiled by 

 being tampered with by unknown persons. It has been decided 

 best to discontinue these stations and reestablish them at points 



Fifteen stream-gaging" stations and seven rainfall-measurement
