the Districts of Puna and Kaii, in the vicinity of the Volcano 
House, more especially on the section that it is proposed be set 
apart as a National Park. He found a number of interesting 
plants, some new to science, of which further mention will be 
made hereafter. 
Later in April, Mr. Rock accompanied Mr. Hosmer and Mr. 
Curran on their trip to Maui, remaining after their return to 
collect additional material in the K'oolau and Hana Districts. 
From these several expeditions the Herbarium is decidedly the 
gainer. A later report will give a summary of the results ob- 
tained. 
Very respectfully, 
RALPH S. HOSMER, 
Superintendent of Forestry.

The collections for these months were : March, $167.55 ; April, 
$30.00. Of the March amount, $100 was received for plants 
grown at the sub-nursery at Homestead, Kauai, conducted under 
the supervision of Mr. W. D. McBryde. 
From April 4 to 11, the Forest Nurseryman was at Waimea, 
Hawaii, arranging details in connection with the forest planting 
on the Kohala mountain, now being carried on for the Board, un- 
der contract, by the Parker Ranch. 
There are now at the Makiki Garden a large number of plants 
new to the Territory resulting from the seed sent back from 
various foreign countries by Mr. Gerrit P. Wilder. Some of 
these are sure to prove useful introductions to Hawaii.
