The Curator of Botany, Mr. Charles N. Forbes, reports as 

 follows: 



"Very little field work has been done this year, and nearly 

 the whole time has been spent in the Herbarium. The whole col- 

 lection, including the duplicates, has now been poisoned with 

 mercuric bichloride, and I am glad to report that the Herbarium 

 is free from all insects. Much time was spent in mounting, classi- 

 fying and studying the specimens; some time has been spent on 

 a card reference index to the Hawaiian Flora; several field trips 

 have been made on Oahu in connection with ecological studies. 

 Owing to the difhculty of preserving specimens from insects I am 

 not keeping a large stock of duplicates of Oahu plants, as it is 

 better to get them on demand. This accounts for the smaller 

 number of specimens added in comparison to other years when 



the colle(5ling was on other islands.
