FOEESTRY. 
Mr. von Holt stated that the Committee on Forestry en- 
dorsed the recommendations of the Superintendent of For- 
estry contained in his report upon the creation of a forest re- 
serve in the District of South Kona, Island of Hawaii, and 
modifications of the boundaries, of existing forest reserves in 
the District of Kau, Hawaii, and Wailuku, Maui. 
It was voted that the Superintendent of Forestry proceed 
along the usual course in the matter /of the above-mentioned 
reserves. 
Mr. Hosmer read a letter from Mr. Alan S. Davis, dated 
November 28, of Wahiawa, making application for the right 
to cut dead wood in the forest above Wahiawa. Mr. Hosmer 
called attention to the fact that this was the same area in re- 
gard to which the Board some time ago had made arrange- 
ments, Avith Mr. Hopper and Mr. Templeton, for the removal 
of w^ood, wdiich owing to various reasons had not worked out 
satisfactorily. The conditions on the ground have in no way 
changed since the Board had refused further to extend the 
time of Mr. Hopper's license. 
After some discussion it was voted that the application of 
Mr. Davis be denied and that the Superintendent of Forestry 
so inform him. 
Mr. Hosmer said that Mr. Haughs had recently received a 
letter from Mr. Gerrit P. Wilder, giving details in regard to 
seed Avhich he had collected and forwarded for the use of the 
Board, from which he quoted extracts. Thereupon it was 
voted that the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and 
Forestry extend to Mr. Gerrit P. AVilder its thanks and ex- 
press its appreciation of his services, rendered in sending 
seeds and plants to Hawaii from the different countries he 
has visited.
