upper  land.  Before  this  portion  of  the  reserve  becomes  effective 
considerable  fencing  is  required.  This  it  is  the  intention  of  the 
plantation  to  undertake  in  dtie  course. 
To  the  west  and  on  the  mauka  side  the  proposed  Moloaa  Re- 
serve adjoins  respectively  the  Halelea  Forest  Reserve  and  the 
Kealia  Forest  Reserve,  both  created  some  time  ago.  It  rounds 
out  the  block  of  forest  land  on  the  north  side  of  Kauai  and  com- 
pletes the  chain  of  reserves  around  Mt.  Waialeale. 
RECOM  MENDATION. 
For  the  reasons  given  above  I do  now  recommend  that  the 
Board  approve  this  project  and  request  the  Governor  to  create 
in  accordance  with  law,  as  the  Moloaa  Forest  Reserve,  the  area 
hereinafter  officially  described,  and  to  set  apart  as  portions  there- 
of the  government  lands  of  Papaa  and  Papaa-Moloaa,  the  former 
subject  to  the  existing  lease  upon  it,  the  latter  definitely,  at  once. 
Following  is  the  official  description  of  the  proposed  Moloaa 
Forest  Reserve  prepared  by  the  Territorial  Government  Survey 
Office  as  C.  S.  F.  1961,  accompanied  by  Government  Registered 
Map  No.  2375.  (Here  omitted  because  it  also  forms  part  of  the 
official  proclamation,  printed  elsewhere  in  this  issue  of  the  For- 
ester).
