that he expected to make a trip to Maui some time during March 
to inspect the forest in the Koolau district in company with Mr.

was to be made as a part of the investigation of the diseased for- 
est in that district and the area for which the Alexander & Bald- 
win plantation interests had requested the Division of Forestry to 
prepare a planting plan. It is proposed to try a considerable 
variety of exotic trees in the area where the native Hawaiian 
forest was killed off some years ago. Fmding that Mr. Curran 
was to pass through Honolulu, both this Board and the Hawaiian 
Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station, who at that time 
had charge of the experimental planting, requested Mr. Curran 
to stop over, visit the district and make suggestions as to what 
Philippine trees might be used to advantage. Mr. Curran is ex- 
pected to arrive some time about the middle of March.
