All the Mauna Kea plots are on government land within the 
boundaries of the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve. 
Species Tested 
In the following lists are placed the names of the 86 tree 
species which were experimented with in one form or another. 
Some were imported as transplants or seedlings from the main- 
land, many were sown direct in seedpots in the field where they 
usually failed to estabHsh themselves after germination. The 
failure of a species on this list should not, however, be regarded 
as conclusive evidence that the species is worthless in Hawaii ; 
it is often likely that a species which failed in seedspotting might 
be entirely successful by the transplant method. The attempt was 
made to work out the history of each shipment of transplants 
and each seed-lot after they left Honolulu, with a view to de- 
termining the source of seed of the most promising species, but 
after much painstaking study of the records this plan had to 
be abandoned for lack of continuity. 
The asterisk denotes species of which there were living trees 
growing on one or more of the plots in October 1921. The un- 
marked species were absolute failures.
