Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
There is being sent yon, by the 
S.S. Tanager leaving Honolulu May 9, a shipment of 
tree and plant seeds for use in the attempt to 
revegetate Laysan Island. The list includes such 
of the littoral species as we were able to find in 
fruit locally. Unfortunately there is a dearth of 
Eau and Puhala seed at present but it is hoped that a 
quantity of the latter can be obtained for a later 
trip. The present consignment is as follows: 
Calophyllum inophyllum 
Barringtonia asiatica 
CJasuarina equisetifolia 
Thespesia populnea 
Pritchardia pacifica
