NoTtTe.—I am especially indebted to Prof. W. D. Alexander, superintendent of the coast survey, 
Honolulu, for valuable assistance in preparing this list. 
Owners of ponds rarely have much to do with the practical working 
of them, as they usually lease them to Chinese who attend to everything. 
Most of the ponds on Oahu are controlled by two Chinese merchant 
firms in Honolulu, who work in close harmony. They take partic- 
ular care that the Honolulu market never becomes overstocked with 
amaama and awa, and are thus enabled to command almost any price 
they please during certain seasons of the year when amaama are not 
to be had. This falls quite heavily on the white population, as they 
are the principal consumers of the amaama. 
The maintenance of these ponds should be encouraged as much as 
possible, as they are of great assistance in keeping up a regular supply 
of certain species at all seasons of the year. 
The tables fohowing show, by islands and districts, the number and 
nationality of the persons employed, the number and value of the fish 
ponds and boats, the number, kind, and value of apparatus employed 
in the ponds, the catch by species, and the catch by apparatus and 
species, together with the values of same. 
The istand of Oahu leads in every particular, having 74 fish ponds 
valued at $148,850, and employing 142 persons. ‘The total investment
