The Curator of Botany, Mr. Charles N. Forbes, reports as 

 follows: 



"Very little field work has been done this year, and nearly 

 the whole time has been spent in the Herbarium. The whole col- 

 lection, including the duplicates, has now been poisoned with 

 mercuric bichloride, and I am glad to report that the Herbarium 

 is free from all insects. Much time was spent in mounting, classi- 

 fying and studying the specimens; some time has been spent on 

 a card reference index to the Hawaiian Flora; several field trips 

 have been made on Oahu in connection with ecological studies. 

 Owing to the difficulty of preserving specimens from insects I am 

 not keeping a large stock of duplicates of Oahu plants, as it is 

 better to get them on demand. This accounts for the smaller 

 number of specimens added in comparison to other }ears when 



the collecting was on other islands.
