back to Pukoo. Another week was spent here in order to try to 

 ^et certain plants not in flower earlier in the season, before return- 

 ing to Honolulu b}' waj' of Kaunakakai. 



"No new exchanges have been arranged owing to the fact 

 that Pacific island material is scarce and difficult to obtain. The 

 additions to the Herbarium are as follows:

Dr. \V. T. Brigham, Papandajan, Java; Mt. Cook, N. Z. 4 



Mr. Alfred Butt, Drosera from New Zealand i

Mr. Kalua Keale, Niihau 35 



Mr. G. P. Wilder, Maui and Oaliu 14 



Mr. J. F. Rock, exchange Hawaiian plants 3 



Philippine plants purchased 953 



Specimens collected 4000 



Total additions 5189 



"Also 63 specimens of Hawaiian w^oods from the Bureau of 

 Agriculture and Forestry. 



"The Abbe Faurie has made a colle(5lion of Hawaiian plants 

 of which some 80 or more so-called species have been described as 

 new, but for the most part the descriptions are so meagre that one 

 cannot come to any decision regarding them without the actual 

 specimens in hand." 



In the department of Pulmonata Dr. Cooke, the Curator, re- 

 ports the work accomplished as greater than in any previous year. 

 During the year 52,837 shells were catalogued, or an average of 

 over 1000 per week. These are distributed over 4445 catalogue 

 numbers. Of those catalogued 38,662 are fresh and 14,175 fossil 

 material. Of the Thwing colle(5lion 12,156 specimens were cata- 

 logued. Of this colle(5lion the arboreal shells from the Koolau 

 range remain to be catalogued, and there are probably in the 



neighborhood of 15,000 to 20,000 specimens.
