Forest Park Reserve/' three areas of government land along tlic 

 Volcano Road in the Puna District, Hawaii. The purpose here is 

 r<> preserve in its primitive condition the most easily accessible re- 

 maining hlock of native Hawaiian forest in the Territory. Section 

 A consists of a block of 374 acres of forest at 24 miles, a little 

 above Glen wood. Section B is the small Koa grove at 29 miles, 

 7 I--) acres. Section "( 1 " comprises the so-called "forest strips" 

 along the Volcano Road from 18 to 24 miles, nrea 150 acres. Both 

 I localise of its scientific interest and because the forest along the 

 Volcano Road is one of the scenic features of Hawaii, and hence 

 a tourist attraction, it is deemed good business formally to set 

 this land apart. Tt really constitutes a forest park rather than a 

 forest reserve in the usual sense, but for purposes of administra- 

 tion and that the area may come under the Board of Agriculture 

 and Forestry, this land was set apart as Forest Reserve l$o. 37.
