FOREST FENCE AT PUPUKEA. 
One of the forest fences at Pupukea — that on the Waimea 
boundary — has now been completed and the other is in process 
of construction. During the month I have made two inspec- 
tion trips to Pupukea in connection with this work. 
BOTANICAL EXPLORATION. 
Since May 13, ^Ir. J. F. Rock, the P)Otanist of the Division 
of Forestry, has been in the Kohala District on the Island of 
Flawaii collecting herbarium material in the native forest, 
weeds and other plants on the ranches, and gathering data in 
general in regard to plants now growing on the Islands. On 
the slopes of Alauna Kea, along the ditches on the windward 
side of the Kohala ^Mountain, and in the paddocks of the Par- 
ker Ranch he has got many valuable specimens. Air. Rock 
expects to return to Honolulu at the end of June, 
Xery respectfully.
