Deforestation. Less than a century ago the trees 

 on the mountains of east and west Maui met 

 on the low \>\iun connecting them: Lanai and 

 Molokai were well covered. The plain at Wa- 

 hiawa, on Oahu, was well covered with large 

 trees, while the native forest extended well 

 down to Honolulu. Kauai was also well 

 covered well down toward the sea-shore. The 

 changed condition now existing is generally 

 ascriljed to over-stocking the forest with cattle.

 374: Molokai-Lanai, 73: Molokai-Maui, 135; 

 Lanai-Maui, 42: Maui-Kahoolawe. 100; 

 Maui-Hawaii, 1032. Depth five miles south 

 of Keauhou (Hawaii), 1285 f . : five miles 

 south of Diamond Head, 337: five m.les 

 south of Waimea (Kauai), 1019. Granting 

 a uniform elevation of the group sufficient to 

 connect the islands from Xiihau and Kauai 

 to Kohala, on Hawaii, with dry land as sug- 

 gested by Dr. H. A. Pilsbry and others, the 

 old nioutitttinii on the various islands in their 

 youth doubtless stood much higher than at 

 present, but in no case would their youthful 

 altitude, of necessity, be greater than that 

 shown by Haleakala. Mauna Kea and Mauna 

 Loa as they now stand. Assuming the exist- 

 ance in reniote time of a large pan-Hawaiian 

 island there is much reason to suppose that 

 the old mountain cones were slowly built up 

 by additions of new lava as their bases sank 

 beneath sea level, so that elevation of the 

 cones and general submergence of the great 

 island might proceed at the same time. 

 Should submergence take place as postulated 

 Kauai would first be detached: Kohala (and 

 Hawaii) next: Oahu third. Xiihau fourth, 

 and Molokai, Maui, Lanai, Kahoolawe last 

 and at about the same time. There is 

 much biological evidence to substantiate this 

 view of the order of separation of the high 

 islands of the group.
