from Makiki and Nursery, including the two seed men and two 
prisoners, have been taken to Nuuanu to assist in the planting. 
Altogether 17 plots containing as many different species have been 
partly planted. Eight are completed and the balance will be 
finished just as soon as trees can be got ready. The trees are 
being propagated at Makiki. 
Very respectfully, 
David Haughs, 
Forest Nurseryman. 
REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER. 
Honolulu, October 5, 1911. 
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 
Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit, as follows, the regu- 
lar report of the Division of Forestry for the month of Sep- 
tember, 1911 : 
During the first half of this month my own time, with the ex- 
ception of two days in the field, was given to work in the office, 
especially the preparation of letters and reports in connection with 
my trip to Hawaii in August. 
Visit to Waianae. 
On September 6 and 7, I visited Waianae, to inspect the forest 
planting being carried on by the Waianae Plantation Company 
within the boundaries of the Waianae forest reserve, and to look 
into other forest matters in that locality. Since 1906, the Wai- 
anae Company has, under the general direction of this division, 
but at its own expense, planted in that forest reserve about 30,000 
trees. This little forest is growing excellently and in a short time 
now will make a marked difference in the appearance of the val- 
ley. Being the first case of a private corporation voluntarily to 
engage in forest planting in a government forest reserve, the work 
of the Waianae Company deserves special commendation. The 
trees planted are eucalyptus, silk oak and Monterey cypress. In 
this connection, too, note is to be made of the rapid spread of the 
algaroba in the upper part of Waianae valley during the last five 
years, since the creation of the forest reserve. 
Trip to Mmii. 
From September 15 to September 30 I was away from Hono- 
lulu on a trip to the islands of Maui and Kahoolawe. I went first 
to Huelo and spent several days in working out on the ground 
the details of a forest planting plan v/hich is to be put into effect
