reserves as follows: 
On Kauai, 232 koa were planted on the Papapaholahola Spring Re- 
serve and 1,028 swamp mahogony on the land of Kalaheo in the Lihue- 
Koloa Forest Reserve. On Oahu, Ranger Ellis began the marking of a 
portion of the boundary of the Pupukea Forest Reserve by planting 100 
lemon gum trees and similar work was done at Waiahole by the planting 
of 700 trees of the same species. 
Ranger Ellis moved to the Aimuu Ranger Station in the Pupukea 
Forest Reserve on November 14, and began at once the transplanting 
into tins of 5,170 koa seedlings which will be used for planting on this 
reserve during the present season under agreements with pineapple 
planters. 
The chaulmoogra plantation at Waiahole was inspected in company with 
the Forest Nurseryman on November 28, and the work was found to 
be progressing favorably. A windbreak has been planted on the makai 
forest boundary and at the ends of the exposed ridges, about 5 acres 
of the land have been cleared, plowed, and harrowed, and a part of the 
3,000 chaulmoogra trees available for planting have been hauled to 
the area. 
During some boundary marking work on the Mokuleia Forest Reserve, 
200 wild alahee (Plectronia (jdorata) seedlings were secured in Maka-

Tantalus on the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve and they have un-
