Moraceae. 
writer met with very large trees, about 40 feet high. The flowering and fruit- 
ing season falls during the summer months, and trees can be seen loaded with 
the small fruits in October. At Auahi, southern slopes of Haleakala, in the dry 
forest, it is again not uncommon in company with Ochrosia sandwicensis, Sider- 
oxylon auahiense, Pelea multiflora, ete., as well as at Ulupalakua at an eleva- 
tion of 3000 feet, and at Puuwaawaa, Kona, Hawaii. It also inhabits the dry 
regions of Kauai, Hawaii and Oahu, on the latter island in Wailupe Valley and 
in the Waianae range 
The wood of the Aiai is light brown, close-grained, hard, and tough. The abor- 
iginals of New South Wales employed the wood for their boomerangs. | When 
properly dressed and polished it has a remarkable resemblance to Oak. A well- 
seasoned specimen has an approximate weight of 56 pounds per eubie foot. It 
is known by the aboriginals of the Richmond and Clarence rivers of New South 
Wales as ‘‘Mail’’ or ‘‘Legaulbie.’’ By the whites it is called ‘‘ Whalebone tree.”’

The genus Artocarpus consists of about 40 species distributed from Ceylon 
through the Indian Archipelago to China. Of interest is Artocarpus incisa, the 
Ulu of the natives or Breadfruit tree, which is indigenous in the Sunda Islands 
and has been cultivated for ages everywhere in the tropics, but especially on 
the islands of the Pacifie.

The Ulu or ae has only one variety in ihe esti Islands, but has 
many in the South Seas which are well known to the islanders of the Pacific, as, 
for instance, in Samoa, Fiji and Tahiti, where they distinguish more than 24 
sub-species or varieties, each one having its native name. The milky sap of the 
tree is used by the Hawaiians for bird lime, and is chewed by the boys and girls 
in Samoa.
