Forestry was instructed to secure the necessary descriptions and 
have the proper documents prepared in order that the same may 
be submitted to the Governor of the Territory for his approval 
and action. 
The Superintendent of Forestr}^ said he would suggest that at 
the public hearing at which the proposed Hauola Reserve was 
considered, there also be taken up the matter of formally setting 
apart certain government lands within the established boundaries 
of the Hilo Forest Reserve. At the time the Hilo Reserve was 
created these lands were under lease. The law at that time only

had been amended, action in regard to them had been postponed. 
The setting apart at this time is purely a formal matter, but it

of Forestry be instructed to prepare a list of the lands recom- 
mended to be set apart, that his recommendation might receive 
approval and action by the Governor.

After investigation it was found that the animals had already 
left San Francisco — so the next best thing was done, much to his 
regret, and that was to allow them to land at Honoipu. Dr. Case 
went up there. The committee recommended that a letter be sent 
to the importers of mules in that district notifying them that in 
the future, as specified under the law, the Board will not grant 
permission to land mules outside of ports mentioned in the regu- 
lations and stating that the Board is prepared to revise the present 
laws as soon as a quarantine station, satisfactory to the Board of 
Agriculture and Forestry, has been provided at such ports of
