On our return one day was spent in a botanical study of the trees in 
Kipuka Puaulu in the Kilauea Section of the Hawaii National Park. 
■ MAUI TRIP. 
On December 24, I sent my assistant to Maui to check up on the fence 
building on a portion of the Kula Forest Reserve boundary required by 
License for Right of Way No. 1363 issued on August 24, 1921, by the 
Land Commissioner, to J. H. Raymond, C, D, Lufkin and D. H. Case, This 
license required that a substantial American fence be constructed on 2.60 
miles of forest boundary in the region of Polipoli Spring to be completed 
by December 23, 1921. My assistant found that not one post hole even had 
been dug in connection with the project and the Land Commissioner has 
been so notified with the suggestion that if he does not cancel the license 
he require this fence to be built at the earliest possible date. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. S. JUDD, 
' Superintendent of Forestry. 
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OP FORESTRY, 
^ DECEMBER, 1921. 
January 13, 1922. 
Superintendent of Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Dear Sir: I respectfully submit the following statement of my activities 
The first 19 days of December were spent on the island of Hawaii, The 
during the month of December, 1921 : 
work of looking out the uncompleted portion of the new Waiakea Forest 
Reserve boundary was finished on December 1 and the new line was sur- 
veyed on the following day by Mr, Hockley. Two days were spent recon- 
noitering the eastern edge of the forest in the vicinity of the Puna For- 
est Reserve, in company with Mr. Herbert Shipman, lessee of the contiguous 
government grazing land of Kaohe, The purpose of this trip was to con- 
sider altering the east boundary of this reserve to conform more nearly 
with the actual forest edge, which is the natural limit of grazing land and 
upon which the fence required of the lessee should rightly be built. It be- 
came evident from this inspection that a considerable area of forest land 
would be added to the Puna Reserve by such a revision of the east boundary, 
and it is therefore recommended that a survey be made as soon as possible 
to facilitate the change. Mr. Shipman is justified in delaying construction 
of the fence until final adjustment of the boundary is made. 
On December 6, the final surveyor's description of the makai boundary 
of the Hilo Forest Reserve was completed by Mr, Hockley. While this 
work was in progress I prepared a statement of the condition of fences 
along this boundary, showing the amount of fencing now existing, the 
fencing now under construction and the amount still required to assure the 
complete protection of the reserve. 
On December 9, Mr, Judd arrived in Hilo, Together we spent five days 
on a trip to the Puu Oo Ranch for the purpose of determining the mauka 
boundary of the upper Waiakae Forest Reserve, In this region a con- 
siderable area of true forest land which is useless for grazing should be in- 
cluded in the forest reserve. Several triangulation stations were found and 
flagged in order to facilitate the survey which will be made early in the 
Spring to readjust this boundary line. Under the guidance of loane, an 
old native of the region, the 'Most" station known as Kipu was also found 
and flagged. Durijig this trip many goats were seen along the boundary 
and 14 were killed.
