report  is  therefore  to  be  regarded  in  the  nature  of  a report  of 
progress.  It  is  my  hope  that  it  will  be  followed  in  due  time  by  a 
statement  of  results  accomplished. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
For  the  reasons  set  forth  in  the  foregoing  pages  I now  recom- 
mend that  the  Board  request  the  Governor  of  Hawaii  to  create, 
in  accordance  with  the  law  and  following  the  usual  method,  the 
Kohala  Mountain  Forest  Reserve,  and  to  set  apart  as  units  thereof 
the  Government  lands  within  the  boundary  officially  described  by 
the  Government  Survey  Office. 
The  Government  lands  are  in  two  classes,  those  not  under  lease, 
and  those  on  which  leases  have  still  some  time  to  run.  Those 
not  under  lease  can  be  definitely  set  apart  at  once ; on  the  others 
the  full  reservation  takes  effect  automatically  at  the  expiration  of 
the  lease.  The  lands  not  under  lease  are:  Pololu  1,000  acres; 
Awini  100  acres;  Pauahi  150  acres,  and  Lanikepu  435  acres;  a 
total  of  1,685  acres.  Those  on  which  leases  have  still  some  time 
to  run  are  Kawaihae.  1,  3,370  acres;  Puukawaiwai-Panoluukia-Ka- 
pia  360  acres;  Momouloa  130  acres;  Puukapu  8,570  acres;  Ka- 
moku  20  acres,  and  Keaa  230  acres  ; a total  of  12,680  acres.  Alto- 
gether there  are  14,365  acres  of  Government  land.
