Mr. J. F. Rock, covering a number of collecting trips made 
by him during the summer and autumn. 
In this connection it may not be inappropriate to note that 
two new herbarium cases, built for the Board by the Kame* 
hameha School, have been installed in the Board's office. 
These cases have at once been filled with material from Ha- 
waii and East Maxii. Many more specimens remain in pack- 
ing boxes for lack of shelf space. As soon as money can be 
made available it is imperative that additional cases be con- 
structed. Four more are needed. 
PLANT INTRODUCTION WORK. 
During the past few weeks a number of consignments of 
exotic seeds, especially from the West Indies, have been re- 
ceived from Mr. Gerrit P. Wilder. Many of the seeds sent 
are from plants wholly new to Hawaii, trees and shrubs of 
economic importance. The 'board is highly fortunate in 
having the cooperation of an enthusiast like Mr. Wilder. 
The seeds sent are being cared for in our propagating houses 
and at the Makiki Station. 
Very respectfully, 
Ralph S. Hosmer, 
Superintendent of Forestry.
