ROUTINE REPORTS. 
The regular monthly report of the Superintendent of Forestry 
and that of the Superintendent of Entomology were accepted. 
On account of illness and pressure of work the Territorial 
Veterinarian was excused from making a regular report of the 
work of his division until next meeting of the Board. 
RARE ISLAND BIRDS. 
It was voted that the application of Miss Annie M. Alexander 
for a permit to collect twenty specimens of each rare species of 
Hawaiian Island birds be rejected in consideration of the fact 
that there are so very few of the birds remaining and the Museum 
here has specimens of all the birds for the purpose of scientific 
study. The secretary of the Board was instructed to write Miss 
Alexander, informing her to that efifect. 
ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 
The President read a letter to C. Brewer & Company under date 
of May 21, from the Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company at 
Naalehu, Kau, in regard to the withdrawal of the quarterly pay- 
ments — their contribution — on account of the salary of Veterinary 
Surgeon Elliot ; also letter from C. Brewer & Company of May 
26, to the President of the Board under date of June 8, in regard 
to the same. 
President Campbell had to report to the Board that these pay- 
ments on account of salary will, however, continue. 
DIVISION OF FORESTRY. 
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, Flonolulu, Hawaii. 
Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit the following report 
of the work of the Division of Forestry for the past month : 
PLANTING PLAN FOR MOLOKAI RANCH. 
Based on the study made on the ground during a trip to Molo- 
kai in May, I personally have spent some time this month in pre- 
paring a comprehensive report outlining a general scheme for 
forest planting on the lands owned by the Molokai Ranch Com- 
pany. This work was done at the request of the Ranch Com- 
pany under the standing offer of assistance to tree planters made 
by the Division of Forestry. It is expected that the Ranch Com- 
pany will begin actual work in tree planting next winter.
