To the Hon. Board of 
Agriculture and Forestry of Hawaii. 
Gentlemen : — 
I herewith make my report to you for the month of December, 
1907. 
During that month there arrived from outside the Territory 
twenty-nine steam and sailing vessels, seventeen of which had 
trees, plants, fruits, or vegetables, numbering 10,391 packages, as 
freight or mail. 
When we found any infested with insects we treated them with 
chemical gas or fumes before delivering. Some small lots we de- 
stroyed. 
The various lots came from the Orient, Europe and the Main- 
land. 
On December nth the S. S. "Moana" arrived from Sydney, 
Australia, having on board 360 large sacks of lupin seeds from 
Italy to be planted as green fertilizer. Upon inspection we found 
some of the seed to be infected with a coleopterous larva, so we 
had the entire shipment removed on the steam barge "Pioneer" 
to the fumigating chambers on the Channel Wharf, where we 
thoroughly fumigated them with carbon bisulphide. 
Respectfully yours, 
Alexander Craw, 
Superintendent of Entomology and Inspector.
