to be done in the way of Conservation, particularly in a 
more systematic use of the local water resources. 
On motion of Mr. Waterhouse it was voted that the Board 
approve the action of the President in calling this meeting. 
Mr. Hosmer read the report of the Division of Forestry 
for October, 1910. It was voted that the same be accepted 
and copies given to the press for publication. 
KOHALA FOREST RESERVE. 
In reply to a question, Mr. Campbell announced that con- 
demnation proceedings in the matter of acquiring the land 
of Kehena II, Kohala, Hawaii, had now been begun. The 
case will come up in the courts in the near future. 
ENTOMOLOGY. 
Mr. Ehrhorn read his report dated October 26, and stated 
that the Board’s instructions had been carried out in the way 
of official notice sent to the State Commission of Horticul- 
ture, of which letter he submitted a copy, dated October 6, 
relative to the appearance of the Mediterranean fruit fly 
(Ceratatis capitata) in Honolulu and vicinity. 
]\Ir. von Holt moved that the Entomologist’s report be 
placed on file. Mr. Waterhouse seconded the motion, which 
was carried. 
President Campbell requested the representatives of the 
press to see that this report is printed, not in extracts, but 
in full. 
Mr. Ehrhorn exhibited dead specimens of the fruit fly and 
a colored plate illustration showing its life history; also 
larvae in alcohol. 
During the month a number of oranges had been brought 
to the office for observation, and many of these were badly 
infested and found to contain maggots. On account of the 
thick skin the navel orange is not so rapidly attacked, Mr. 
Ehrhorn said, but of the native seedlings which have a very 
thin skin, at least, fifty per cent, have been injured.

the carrying of soft-meated fruits grown on this island to any 
of the others. 
The President stated that this rule passes the approval of 
the Board, subject to any corrections which may be made 
by the Attorney-General or the Governor, and when it is 
properly approved it will then be published. The Secretary 
of the Board was instructed to refer a copy of this regula-
