and as yet little fencing has been clone by the owners on account 

 of the expense. Almost all of the few strips of government land 

 which run into the reserve have clauses in the lease of the land 

 Ixdow the reserve boundary requiring fencing. While all of this 

 fencing has not yet been completed, a start has been made by 

 some of the lessees. The only unleased government land in this 

 part of the reserve, in which the government owns a half interest, 

 I found to be a very narrow ridge bordered by steep gulches. 

 Cattle are entirely absent and no damage has been done to the 

 splendid forest of young Ohia trees. 



A curious and gratifying result of the killing of the lantana 

 by blight in the gulches in this region has been the springing up 

 of young Kukui trees in great quantities.
