PACIFIC SCIENCE, January, 1947 
to about 1,000 feet altitude, below the Koa 
Zone and above the Wiliwili Zone. Prob¬ 
ably the tree occurred on the lower, dry 
slopes of nearly every secondary ridge lead¬ 
ing from the Waianae Mountains and on 
those leading from the leeward side and the 
north end of the Koolau Range. The north¬ 
ern and southern slopes of the Schofield sad¬ 
dle apparently had much more extensive 
stands of sandalwood, from Waimano to 
Honouliuli, and from Pupukea to Makaleha. 
This is a deduction from various types of 
evidence here assembled, which, for the first 
time, give an indication of the location of 
the principal stands of sandalwood on Oahu. 
Though decimated by the sandalwood 
trade, the tree persisted on Oahu, survived 
the overgrazing and forest recession, and is 
now common and widespread at its former 
upper limit, now the lower forest line on the 
lee side of the Koolau Range and on both 
sides of the Waianae Mountains. Most of 
its present stations are protected from 
further destructive exploitation by their sit¬ 
uation within the Territorial Forest Reserves.
