To give information about insects, free of charge, is one of the duties
of this Division and Hawaiian readers are hereby invited to make in-
quiry in person and by mail. In order to be able to advise intelligently ~
or send the right kind of useful insects for relief we like and sometimes
it is indispensable for us to see the insect suspected or caught in the
act of depredation, also specimens of the injury. In a tin with a hole
or two, cr a wooden box specimens may be mailed at 3rd class
rates. It is always desirable to have letter accompany specimens.
Whether or not specimens are accompanied by letter ALWAYS write
your name and address in the upper left-hand corner of the package.

PUBLICATIONS.
The publication of The Hawaiian Forester and Agriculturist
as the official organ of the Board has been continued during 1908.
The magazine is edited by Mr. Leopold G. Blackman and is pub-
lished by the Hawaiian Gazette Company. It contains the official
reports submitted by various members of the Board’s staff and
special contributions dealing with Forestry, Entomology, Animal
Industry, Horticulture and General Agriculture. The articles are
written with direct reference to Hawaii and contain much that is
of value to those interested in these subjects. The volume for
1908 (Vol. 5) contains 364 pages. Many of the articles are illus-
trated. The subscription price is one dollar a year.
There have also been issued during the year the following publi-
cations:
A circular (unnumbered) of the Division of Animal Industry
entitled “Rules and Regulations pertaining to the Inspection and
Testing of Live Stock intended for Importation from the Mainland
of the United States to the Territory of Hawaii.”
This circular contains the various regulations that became ef-
fective January 1, 1908, and other matter relative to the importa-
tion of live stock into Hawaii. This circular was issued January
25, 1908. One thousand copies were printed for local and main-
land distribution.
On July 31, 1908, the Governor approved Rule 8 of the Division
of Animal Industry, relating to the quarantine of horse stock ar-
riving from or through the State of California. This was printed
as an unnumbered leaflet and generally distributed.
General Circular Number 3 of the Board, entitled “Law and
Regulations pertaining to the Importation and Inspection of
Honey Bees and Honev Into the Territory of Hawaii,” was issued
on October 8, 1908. Five hundred copies were printed.
DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY.
The late Superintendent of this Division, Mr. Alexander Craw,
became seriously ill the previous October. In the hope that re-
cuperation on the Mainland would restore his health he sailed
hence on February 19 under leave of absence. But he failed to
rally and died on June 28. The following resolution, presented
by the President, was adopted by rising vote of the Board and
an illuminated copy sent to the widow:
vi
“Whereas, The Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry
of the Territory of Hawaii have sustained a great loss in the death
of Alexander Craw, Superintendent of the Division of Ento-
mology ;
“And, Whereas, The efficient manner in which he admin-
istered the duties of his office, has won the respect of all and re-
sulted in lasting benefit to the agricultural interests of Hawaii;
“And, Whereas, By his genial and kindly manner he had en-
deared himself to his associates and all others with whom he came
in contact ;
“Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the Commissioners of Agri-
culture and Forestry extend to his widow their sincerest sympathy
in her great bereavement, and that a copy of these Resolutions be
spread on the minutes and be engrossed with the signatures of the
Commnussioners and presented to her.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH! OF ALEXANDER CRAW.
By Jacosp KoTINnsky.
“With the death of this remarkable man passes away another
prominent figure from the horizon of American horticulture and
economic entomology. Few economic entomologists are better
known and no one more favorably than was he during his life
work. Few entomological workers passed through California
without seeking out and making his personal acquaintance, and all
were charmed with the man. His unvarying amiability has won
for him a lasting abode in the heart of every one that knew him.
By early training a capable and successful horticulturist, his in-
domitable love for plant life later led him, to form the vanguard
of a fight against horticultural enemies on a scale that was never
undertaken before.
“Alexander Craw was born in Ayr, Scotland, August 3, 1850.
In 1873 he emigrated to California and after a two years’ residence
in San Diego, moved to Los Angeles, where he took charge of the
famous Wolfskill orange grove. His early training stood him in
good stead in the early days of California’s growth as a horticul-
tural center. His authority in matters horticultural was never
questioned and his advice ever eagerly sought. Presently Icerya
purchasi, which had preceded his arrival in California by about
five years, threatened the destruction of the citrus industry. It is
difficult to determine at present who started the movement which
culminated in the introduction of Novius cardinalis from Aus-
vil
tralia into California by Albert Koebele in 1888. But it is certain
that Mr. Craw was a powerful factor in that movement. Never in
our conversation in the office did he credit himself with the con-
spicuous role, yet it is quite evident to me that his constant agita-
tion of the matter before the California horticultural organiza-
tions, and the incessant pressure he brought to bear by means of
these upon authorities in Washington, was to a considerable de-
gree responsible for Koebele’s victorious mission. Once victory
was achieved and that so completely and in such an unusual man-
ner he was possessed with the idea of controlling all horticultural -
insect pests by means of their natural enemies.
“About 1890 he was prevailed upon to accept the office of in-
spector and entomologist under the California State Board of
Horticulture, a line of work not previously undertaken anywhere
and in which he spent the remainder of his life. Always kindly
yet always firm in the performance of his duty he stood for four-
teen years like a rock at the Golden Gate and jealously guarded
his adopted state from horticultural pests of the world. All op-
position he swept aside with a smile, without making a foe or
losing a friend. He was a keen observer, so that in 1891 we find
him not only familiar with the common garden and orchard pests,
but describing a species of his favorite group, Hymenoptera
Parasitica (Coccophagus (Aspidiotiphagus) citrinus, Bull. 57,
California State Board of Horticulture, 1891). His writings are
not profuse, and are confined almost entirely to periodical reports
in which he aimed principally to enlighten his horticultural read-
ers on their insect problems as he viewed them. In Bull. 4, Tech.
Ser., Division of Entomology, U. S. D. A., he published a list of
the Coccidae which he found in course of inspection at San Fran-
cisco. A number of species and varieties named Craw may be
observed in catalogs of this family.
“In 1904 he was induced to enter the service of the Hawaiian
Board of Agriculture as Superintendent of Entomology and In-
spector. This office he filled in the same efficient manner that he
had carried on the work in California, proving of great benefit to
Hawaii in the exclusion of dangerous insect pests, and resulting
in a better quality of fruits and vegetables being shipped here.
His devotion to duty had the better of discretion, so that when on
October 11, 1907, he was overtaken by the serious illness which
on June 28, 1908, terminated his life, it was largely the result of
overwork.”
Mr. Jacob Kotinsky, the Assistant Entomologist, was in August
temporarily and in September permanently appointed Superin-
tendent of the Division. No Assistant Entomologist to succeed
Mr. Kotinsky has yet been appointed. The Inspector’s Assistant,
Mr. G. A. Jordan, resigned August 15, and Mr. D. B. Kkuhns was
vill
appointed in his place. The balance of the staff remains as be-
fore.
Inspection of imported fruits, plants and veegtables is as here-
tofore the principal work of this Division. Three hundred and
forty-five vessels were boarded for inspection, and in the baggage,
freight and mails traced and examined 143,822 packages. Be-
cause of a variety of insects and diseases 3,437 packages were or-
dered returned, 566 fumigated or otherwise treated before re-
leasing, 47 refused landing and 1098 destroyed.
Early in the year Mr. A. Koebele sent a variety of scale bug
enemies from Mexico, which were bred and at least two of them
promise results. Later, by arrangement with the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters’ Association, and the Hawaiian Live Stock Breeders’
Association, Mr. Koebele was detailed to Europe in search of na-
tural enemies of the horn fly. He has sent a number of lots
which are being looked after by the Hawaiian sugar Planters’
Association entomologists.
As heretofore the Division has supplied information by letter
and word of mouth upon injurious insects and diseases, and no
request for a professional visit was denied. Asa citizen, while
consulting the Entomologist, said: ‘This is an institution for the
people and I mean to make use of all such institutions.” The
Board reiterates its invitation to interested persons to freely con-
sult the officers of this Division whenever necessary.
DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY.
Report of Superintendent of Entomology.
By Jacos Korinsky.
Honolulu, Hawaii, December 31, 1908.
Honorable Board of Commissioners of
Agriculture and Forestry of the
Territory of Hawaii.
GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor to present herewith the Fifth
Report of the Division of Entomology covering the calendar year
1908.
STAFF.
Superintendent. The Division sustained severe loss in the
death of its Superintendent, Mr. Alexander Craw, on June 28,
1908. He fell ill the preceding October and, failing to improve,
he sailed by your leave for San Francisco on February 19 in
hope of recovering his health. But contrary to hope he failed
to rally.
Consulting Entomologist. Mr. Albert Koebele, I am happy to
say, is in the service of the Board in capacity of consulting En-
tomologist, as heretofore.
Assistant Entomologist. During Mr. Craw’s illness the writer
attended to the work of inspection and shortly after his death
was appointed to succeed him. The position of Assistant En-
tomologist thus made vacant still remains to be filled.
Inspector's and Other Assistants, By. your leave the recent
Inspector’s Assistant, Mr. G. A. Jordan, spent three months in
the Orient. During his absence he was substituted by Mr.
R. W. Smith. Mr. Jordan having resigned August 15, Mr.
D. B. Kuhns, a graduate of the Normal School and an ardent
naturalist was appointed to the position. His very faithful ser-
vice during the shortage of help is of inestimable value to the
work of inspection. During several emergencies we employed
temporarily, for a day or a day and a half at a time, an outsider
98
to aid in the clerical work in course of inspection of heavy cargoes.
There were no other changes in the staff except that Bro. M.
Newell was promoted commensurate with the scope of his work.
The roll of our honorary inspectors, consisting of Messrs. R. R.
Elgin at Mahukona, Hawaii; W. O. Aiken at Kahului, Maui; and
W.D. McBryde at Koloa, Kauai, remains intact and ready to serve
when occasion requires. Miss Ella K. Dayton is still clerk and
stenographer of the Division, and her faithfulness to duty has
not diminished.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
We cannot pass on without making due acknowledgment for
assistance given by several individuals and institutions. To the
Division of Entomology and Plant Pathology of the Hawauian
Sugar Planters’ Association Experiment Station, and especially
to their respective directors, we are indebted for identification of
material and repeated advice on matters pertaining to their re-
spective specialties; to Dr. L. O. Howard and staff of the United
States Bureau of Entomology for identification of material; to
Major Casey for a similar service on several Coleoptera; to Mr.
D. L. Van Dine for generously undertaking the onerous work of
bee inspection; to Dr. E. V. Wilcox for cooperation in quarantine
and advice on inspection method and policy; to the Public Works
Department for the use of horse, and other favors; last but not
least for the numerous courtesies and favors of vital importance
to this Division received from United States Customs, Immigra-
tion and Postal officials of all grades from the respective chiefs
down, and finally to steamship and agency officers the thanks of
this Division are due.
LINES OF WORK.
As hitherto the work occupying most of our attention and time
pertained to INSPECTION of live vegetable matter coming from
abroad. We did not neglect BREEDING AND DISTRIBU-
TION OF USEFUL INSECTS and what laboratory work was
most important. This was necessarily curtailed and fragmentary
owing to the absence of a functioning Assistant Entomologist.
Nevertheless, as will appear later, this end of the work was not
without result. When requested, visits were made to gardens in
and out of town and advice on methods of combating injurious
insects was always freely given. We are also charged with the
duty of collecting and delivering to destination what useful in-
sects arrive from abroad.

INSPECTION, QUARANTINE AND DISINFECTION
OF IMPORTED VEGETATION.
RECORDS. By means of a series of printed blanks specially de-
vised for the purpose we are now able to keep ac-
curate record of all vessels we board and cargoes we inspect.
Each article under each consignee mark is checked and noted to
indicate in no mistakable way the disposal of it and the causes
thereof. These data are systematically arranged and kept on our
permanent files ready for reference at short notice. By means
of “Inspectors’ Lists” printed in quantity, and freely distributed
among importers who, in accordance with our law, are obliged to
supply required data, we are able to keep strict watch of imports
with regard to variety, origin and state of freedom from pests.
Incidentally we keep record of imports of fruits and vegetables so
that we are able to get good insight into the amounts of these
consumed by the people of the Territory. If to these data we
attach prices we get an approximate idea of our annual green
good bill’ (See p. 114.)

* This does not include our inspector’s work at Hilo. Owing to lack
of proper blanks no adequate records were kept there until the last few
months of the year, and these were not included. This applies to Table
II as well. These tables do include, however, all vegetable cargo brought
for Maui and Kauai.
IOL
SUMMARY It will be gleaned from this table that on an aver-
OF TABLE. age we boarded a vessel nearly every day of the
year, and found matter for inspection on nearly
two-thirds of them. Seeds, plants and fruits were traced in the
mails, baggage and freight. On an average 576 lots were in-
spected each month. A lot varies from one parcel to hundreds,
but no lot is passed upon before at least one parcel is inspected,
often two or three, and in nearly every case of plants, each indi-
vidual plant is examined most scrupulously. The total number
of parcels examined is enormous and would be incredible, were
it not known that they were examined by lots. These figures
would doubtless be much more interesting and instructive if it
were possible to compare them with similar tables.
SCABBY As will be seen by reference to the table a large
POTATOES. quantity of potatoes (2,388 sacks) was returned
this year, all owing to scab and soil. In all this
pest was held up seventeen times during the year. Potato scab
(Oospora scabies) is a fungus disease affecting potatoes, beets,
etc., giving the skin a rough, corky appearance, ultimately rotting
the affected tuber. Practically all of the potatoes that come here
from California are either so-called “Rivers” or “Salinas.” The
latter are more expensive but have thus far always been found
clean and free from scab. The “Rivers” are so-called because
they are grown in wet river-bottoms where unfortunately the
growth of scab is also promoted so that most of these potatoes
coming here are dirty with the adhering soil and very scaby.
Their seeming cheapness is their only excuse, but even this is
questionable as what is left of the tuber, after soil and scab are
removed, costs no less than clean potatoes. What is worse, under
the impression that any potato will do for seed, many of our citi-
zens wishing to plant usually select the most scabby tubers for
the purpose, thus inoculating the soil and spoiling their chances
for getting a paying crop for years to come.
On these grounds it was deemed advisable to order returned
all excessively infested and soil-covered “spuds.” Such potatoes
often come on consignment, i. e., are sent here by San Francisco
shipping commissioners on speculation and, in the event of failure
to pass inspection, pay the return freight.
GREEDY The quantity of fruit returned is also rather con-
SCALE, siderable and is largely due to the presence of this
scale bug (Aspidiotus rapax) on apples. Pears and
lemons are also included in the number returned on account of
this scale. On the lemons we found purple and San Jose scales
(Lepidosaphes beckwu and Aspidiotus perniciosus) in addition.
Altogether this pest was held up twenty-six times in course of the
102
year. Citrus fruits, on the other hand, were, on the whole very
clean last year owing probably to the good influence of the Cali-
fornia Citrus Union.
The greedy scale, as its name implies, is a very omnivorous
insect. In the sections of California invaded it feeds on a large
variety of plants and is quite injurious to fruit trees. It occurs
also on these islands and thrives especially at higher elevations
where it is destructive to a number of native trees of great eco-
nomic value, such as Koa (Acacia koa) and Ohia (Metrosideros
polymorpha). An additional supply of the pest can scarcely be
beneficial. In view of the large quantities of these fruits im-
ported it does not take many bugs to the apple to mount up in the
thousands. In one instance within little over a month we were
obliged to refuse admission to two large lots of apples sent from
the same orchard in California. To the growers’ complaint of

Mr. Jacob Kotinsky,
Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of 18th ult. to hand, and contents carefully
noted. In reply, we wish to thank you for your prompt
reply and for your views in the matter of shipping fruit
into your Territory. We understand that you are doing
your full duty when attending to this business for your
Territory, and we cannot blame you for inforcing the
laws of your people. We believe that you are doing
only what is your duty in the matter of inspecting fruit
which is shipped to your city.
We will be very careful in selecting our fruit when we
are shipping again to Honolulu and see that there is
nothing shipped but first class fruit which is free from
all insects and diseases.
Thanking you for your kind reply to our letter, we beg
to remain,
Yours very truly,

CABBAGE MAGGOT Very few lots of turnips passed muster
IN TURNIPS. last year, twelve having been condemned
owing to infestation by cabbage maggot
(Phoroia brassicae) and thick mats of soil on roots. To our
knowledge this maggot has not yet been observed here and it is
wisely kept out. Whenever soil alone was the fault soil being
one of the prohibited articles, it was removed before releasing the
roots. Various forms of the fly were so uniformly present on
iniported turnips during the last six months and their condemna-
tion was equally so regular that shipments of this vegetable have
practically ceased. . The head ends of one lot_of horse-radish
roots were found infested with the same or a similar fly, and ac-
cordingly cut off and destroyed.
SOIL. Soil is one of the most dangerous importations as a
source of agricultural pests. It needs but be mentioned
that our pernicious Japanese beetle (Adoretus umbrosus,
var. tenuimaculatus) came to us hidden in soil in pots of imported
plants. With this knowledge constantly in view we kept strict
watch over imports of this article whether it came by the ship-
load as ballast or in clots about roots of uncleaned vegetables, and
especially about roots of growing plants. Unless free from pests
beyond the shadow of a doubt the soil was removed and thrown
into the fire. Some plants may have suffered in consequence, but
severity was deemed wiser than to jeopardise our agricultural
interests.
FUNGUS INFESTED TARO, After careful survey of the situa-
SWEET POTATOES AND tion we realized that, unless new ar-
YAMS FROM THE ORIENT. rangements are made, we will be
unable to give the careful examina-
tion to vegetation from the Orient that is accorded matter com-
ing from the other side. For a knowledge of the vegetable por-
tion of the cargo the inspector until then depended upon a list sup-
plied by an officer aboard ship or on a perfunctory examination
of suspicious looking containers. The manifest, from which
the ship’s officer compiled the list for us, most often has matter
subject to our inspection lumped under “Merchandise” along with
other irrelevant objects. After consultation with the customs
brokers we found them willing to prepare for us itemized state-
ments copied from the in voice and the thanks of the service are
due them for it. Armed with itemized lists we are able to make
careful examination of each cargo, lot by lot. But owing to ap-
parently inflexible regulations of the customs service we cannot
make this examination before the stuff has entirely passed out of
federal jurisdiction, so that we are obliged to spend an excessive
amount of time on these cargoes in waiting for our turn. But
104
the condition of these imports as we found them upon careful in-
spection fully warrants this expenditure. Taro, sweet potatoes
and yams were found in the majority of cases badly diseased. A
plant pathologist was consulted and he confirmed the parasitic
nature of the fungus submitted. Garlic was found badly infested
with destructive caterpillars; sweet potatoes alive with all stages
of the sweet potato borer (Cylas formicarius) ; fresh olives and
citrus fruits coming contrary to our regulations, badly decayed
and the latter heavily infested with a variety of scale bugs be-
sides. AJ] matter so infested was condemned and hurned It is
gratifying that in accordance with a ruling of the United States
Treasury Department the consignees whose imports are con-
demned by us have at least their duty refunded. Following is
a copy of this ruling as embodied in the letter to the Collector of
Customs, dated September 23, 1908:
“Authority is granted for you to permit the duly au-
thorized territorial officers to inspect any trees, plants,
fruits, etc., and if you shall be satisfied that such articles,
if admitted would be actually injurious to persons or
property, to refuse delivery of the same and to require
their exportation, or in default of exportation, to obtain
the authority of the court for their condemnation and
destruction. When such articles shall have been ex-
ported or destroyed the estimated duties paid thereon will
be returned to the consignee.”
DESTRUCTION. This is usually done by fire, rarely by throw-
ing condemned articles overboard. Articles are
burned only as an inevitable resort, and importers are usually
given the alternative of returning condemned goods. Thus, fruit
from the Orient or Australia is destroyed in accordance with
Board regulations. Insect and particularly fungus-infested vege-
tables from the Orient are consigned to the flames. Cut flowers
brought by passengers are often found infested with a variety of
pests and, if abandoned by their owners, are burned. So are also
badly decayed or wormy fruits or plants. Prussic acid gas can-
not kill worms within fruit hence wormy fruit must be destroyed
if not returned. Finally, potatoes from ports to which there are
no direct return boats if condemned must be burned.
FUMIGATION, Except in case of infested seeds or grape vines,
which are fumigated with carbon bisulfide, fumi-
gation is done. with hydrocyanic (or “prussic’’) acid gas. The
gas is produced by a mixture in definite proportions of cyanide of
potash, sulfuric acid and water. ‘The gas is a most violent poison
to man and beast, tho to plants under certain conditions it is harm-
105
less. A plant, whose vitality is sapped by a horde of insect para-
sites distinctly manifests relief from these after fumigation.
In the majority of cases the inspector resorts to fumigation as
a precaution, especially with plants in foliage, or plants coming
from the Orient and Alustraliasia. Small lots of fruits infested
with live scale bugs are also fumigated before being released.
But there need be no fear to eat fruit so fumigated, as the gas is
so light and volatile that 15 minutes after opening of the fumi-
gating room all traces of it are gone.
DIPPING IN Bordeaux mixture is invariably adminis-
BORDEAUX tered by us or under our direction to aspara-
AND FORMALIN. ous roots to forestall rust, and to growing
plants in foliage, like mango ard avocado
trees from Florida, litchees from the Orient, etc., against possible
unknown fungi. The formalin dip was twice applied during the
year to seed potatoes to prevent appearance of fungus diseases
afterwards.
MAIL TO Under present arrangements nothing escapes in-
OTHER spection by whatever channel it is consigned to Hono-
ISLANDS. fulu or Hilo. All freight consigned to ports on Maui
or Kauai comes via Honolulu and is inspected here.
But we are not certain of the status of mail matter contained in
pouches addressed to post offices other than Honolulu or Hilo.
Incidents as related by the late Mr. Craw on page 146 of the
RBoard’s Third Report would seem to point at least to the possi-
bility of some things unavoidably slipping past us in the mails.
A movement has already been set on foot to enlist the codpera-
tion of proper authorities in Washington in the passage of two
postal regulations: (1) Ordering all mail parcels containing
live vegetable matter to be prominently labeled indicating their
contents, and (2) all parcels for this Territory so labeled be dis-
patched in bags tagged Honolulu or Hilo, as the case may require.
Such regulations, it is believed, will enable us to see everything
sent here by mail. No definite result has yet been attained. But
we should not relax our activity until the desired goal is reached.
QUARANTINE OF Owing to the decayed condition of a lot
IMPORTED PINE- of pineapple plants received from Australia
APPLE PLANTS. sometime in 1903 the Board ‘at the time
passed a regulation prohibiting the importa-
tion of these plants from that part of the world. As a direct re-
sult_our pineapple industry, tho prosperous, was limited to the
cultivation of but one or two varieties. The application of a citi-
zen for the privilege of importing plants of-a new variety set up
an inquiry which produced the information that (1) addition of
106
other pineapple varieties is very desirable; that (2) no destructive
disease to pineapples in Australia is actually known and that
finally (3) with our present facilities for disinfection we need
but quarantine facilities to make such importations perfectly safe.
Special Agent, Dr. E. Vl. Wilcox, having placed the facilities of
the Agricultural Experiment Station at our disposal for this pur-
nose we felt justified in recommending to the Board to so modify
the 1903 pineapple regulation as to make the port of Honolulu
an exception. The matter is pending action by the Board and
Governor.
REGULATION PERTAINING The existence of serious diseases
TO HONEY AND HONEY of honey bees on the Mainland has
BEE INSPECTION. been common knowledge at least
to bee men for some time, as was
also the belief that they have not yet been introduced to these
islands. This belief was definitely confirmed by Dr. E. F. Phillips
of the United States Bureau of Entomology who, during a recent
visit, brought home to us the great necessity of taking steps to
prevent the introduction of these diseases into Hawaii. The first
step in this direction was taken by the Legislature, in 1907, who
in its Act 69 (see page 115) clothed the Board with the necessary
power to inspect, quarantine and if necessary destroy honey and
bees coming to the Territory, since either may carry and transmit
the disease. In accordance with this law the Governor approved
Rules 4 and 5 of this Division regulating the importation of
queen bees and honey respectively. (Seep. 116.) As the Legis-
lature in its appropriation failed to provide for the expense of
bee inspection the Board was dependent on the good will of Mr.
D. L. Van Dine, Entomologist of the Hawaii Experiment Station
to do the work in connection with his bee investigations.
QUARANTINE AND What may be considered an important
INSPECTION step toward perfecting our system of in-
LABORATORY. spection and quarantine was taken when
our new laboratory was erected on the
Oceanic dock. Plants from unfamiliar regions require inspection
in a closed room provided with an abundance of light. Frequent-
ly also plants need special treatment before being released. To
cart such plants to the Government Nursery for the purpose is
inconsistent. It became evident therefore that to meet such need
a quarantine and inspection laboratory must be erected on the
water front. The Oceanic dock was chosen because of the cen-
tral location. With the consent of the Executive Officer a room
about 12x16, 10 feet high, was built beside the fumigatories there.
The laboratory has already served its purpose several times with
entire satisfaction.

FUMIGATORY An important improvement in the fumigatory
EXHAUST. has been installed by the courtesy of Mr.
Marston Campbell, Superintendent of Public
Works. This consists of a 4-inch gate valve and the necessary
piping to serve as an exhaust for the noxious fumes after they
have served their purpose. Hitherto these were discharged di-
rectly onto the dock with no little danger to operators and at times
also to unavoidable bystanders.
PESTS INTERCEPTED IN COURSE OF INSPECTION.
Unfortunately the identification of material was possible in
only few cases because of the great rush of inspection and office
work, and absence of adequate assistance. But most of the ma-
terial is on hand in good state of preservation so that identifica-
tion will be possible in the future.

LOCAL INSPECTION.
This was confined wholly to visits in private gardens at the
request of owners. <A Staphylinid beetle was found in numbers
apparently damaging ripening figs at Pearl City. Closer ex-
amination seemed to show that their presence was due to several
over-ripe figs which they inhabited and from which they over-
flowed to the others. Instruction was therefore given to remove
and destroy infested figs and contents. Scale bugs and faulty
irrigation were found injurious to fruit and ornamental plants in
several gardens. Advice was given accordingly. The thread
scale (/schnaspis lougirostris) has been under observation on
palms, ilang-ilang (Canangium adoratum), etc., for some time. In
one instance this pest had brought an ilang-ilang plant to a point
where destruction was the only alternative that could be offered.
This pest has no effective parasite here and is therefore trouble-
some on a number of ornamental plants. The “Maui Blight” or,
more correctly, Lantana scale (Orthezia insignis), has invaded the
city of Honolulu in full force, and destruction of a number of
valued ornamental plants followed. Lantana on the hillsides also
suffered severely, but the extended drought had considerable to do
with it.
INTRODUCTION, BREEDING AND DISTRIBUTION
OF USEFUL INSECTS.
This line of work was circumscribed this year by the absence
of an assistant and by the fact that, after the first shipment of the
year of useful insects from Mexico (received in Honolulu, Janu-
ary 27) Mr. Koebele was detailed, by arrangement with the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters’ and Live Stock Breeders’ Associations,
for investigation in Europe of enemies of horn fly. These he
sent to and were cared for by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Asso-
ciation Experiment Station Entomologists. An account of this
work is given on page II9Q. )
INTRODUCTIONS. The January shipment above referred to
consisted of the ladybirds Azya lutetpes,
Muls., Chilocorus cacti, Linn., Hyperaspis jocosa, Muls., and a
hymenopterous parasite. A. luteipes was found a liberal eater of
Lecaniid scales, was bred for a while and a number of colonies
distributed. The janitor failed to lower the curtain of the in-
sectary one day, and the sun, striking the breeding jars which
contained fresh food produced heavy perspiration in the jars
which seems to have killed all life in them. One or two larvae
have been seen out of doors since and the probability is it will
show up in time. Chilocorus cacti was bred for a while on the
I1lO
rose scale (Aulacaspis rosae) and the cactus scale (Diaspis echino-
cati). But it made very slow and unpromising progress and
finally the colony died out. Only five specimens of Hyperaspis
jocosa came in larva and pupa state, but all of them were success-
fully reared to maturity and, as their food is very abundant here,
they thrive well and large numbers were distributed in the city
and suburbs. We have been able to make no progress whatever
with the hymenopterous parasite.
Thru the courtesy of Mr. George Compere, Government En-
tomologist of West Australia, we were able to release several
specimens (male and female) of Comperiella bifasciata in May.
This insect, Mr. Compere asserts, is an effective enemy of the red
scale (Chrysomphalus aurantii) in the Orient.
Blastophaga grossorum is the insect that played so conspicuous
a role in the successful establishment of Smyrna fig culture in
California a few years ago. Normally the insect breeds in galls
produced within the male fig which is borne on a separate tree
(Capritree). As the pollen in these figs is produced simultane-
ously with the maturity of the insects, these, upon emerging,
carry away more or less of the pollen on their bodies. The
Smyrna figs which bear the female part of the flower, are also re-
ceptive about that time. Failing to distinguish these from the
male figs the female flies enter them to oviposit and incidentally
fertilize many of the flowers with the pollen on their bodies and
thus produce the large number of seeds characteristic of the
Smyrna fruit. These seeds, it has been recognized, contain es-
sential oils which give the fruit the peculiar nutty flavor, and
make the Smyrna fig such a favorite.
We were aware that the Moanalua Gardens had the requisite
Capri and Smyrna trees, but not the insects, without which
Smyrna-fig culture is impossible. To bridge the gap the late Mr.
Craw communicated with Dr. Geo. Roeding, the moving spirit of
the Calimyrna fig industry, and was promised a colony of the in-
sects. On April 7 we received the first colony of these in-
sects. Unfortunately all of them seem to have emerged en route
from the figs in which they were sent, and perished—at least we
got no satisfactory result. By kindness of Dr. Roeding we re-
ceived another colony in October but having hardly expected re-
sults owing to lateness of season we were not disappointed with
failure. However, we are determined to repeat the importation
until successful.
GOOD WORK OF On page 116 of the Board’s Second Re-
A RECENTLY NA- port (for 1905) the writer reported the in-
TURALIZED ALLY. troduction and establishment of the Terrapin
scale parasite or Scutellista (S. cyanea) in
these islands. During the present year it was found so abundant
iit
on the original Coccid host as reported therein and upon the
hemisphaerical scale (Saissetia hemisphaerica), another occasion-
aly destructive pest, that its great usefulness could not be over-
looked. Its new host is also a fact worth recording.
BENEFICIAL INSECT DISTRIBUTION.
This was far larger in numbers of individuals than colonies. In
all 63 colonies were distributed, but some of these were composed
of hundreds of specimens. Following is the list of insects dis-
tributed:
Arizona-dung fly parasite (Eucoila impatiens ).
Asya luteipes.
“Brownie” ladybird (Cryptolaemus montrouztert).
Chilocorus cacti.
Comperiella bifasciata.
Fig insect (Blastophaga grossorum).
Lantana leaf bug (Teleonemia lantanae ).
Mexican ladybird (Hyperaspis jocosa, Muls.).
Vedalia ladybird (Novius cardinalis).
Scutellista cyanea.
GENERAL WORK.
The correspondence of the Division is more heavy in the volume
of individual letters than in their number because we make the
effort to impress upon correspondents the importance of our work
and because, owing to the scarcity of published data on our insect
fauna, we are obliged to give full explanation in our letters. We
also endeavor to put in writing as far as possible all official acts
of the Division.
In all 360 letters were written during the year, principally to
local people. Financial records of the Division were kept inde-
pendently of the Board records, serving the useful purpose of
comparison and check. The card index of the inventory is up to
date as are indices of accessions to the Entomological library ac-
cording to author and subject. Eleven monthly reports were
made to the Board and were subsequently published in the For-
ester. Two lectures on Entomological subjects were delivered
before classes of the College of Hawaii and one before a Normal
School class. Owing to pressure of inspection work little of a
systematic nature was accomplished. General Circular No. 3,
embodying Act 69 of Session laws of 1907 and Board rules 3
and 4, regulations on importation of honey and honey bees was
issued. The 1907 Report was also published and the supervision
of this work consumed an enormous amount of time. This is a
Ii2
concrete instance where a paid executive officer would be a saving
to the scientific staff. Our Bulletin 2 on the subject of Aleyro-
didae is still in demand among scientists abroad.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
INTER-ISLAND Evidence is accumulating pointing to the
INSPECTION. necessity of instituting inter-island inspection.
At one time the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ As-
sociation sought our cooperation in preventing the carriage to
other islands of a small, cane-top boring beetle known on Oahu
only. Several other insects known or suspected to exist in Hono-
lulu and not on the other islands suggest strongly the necessity of
some protection for those islands. What should not be lost sight
of is that the object of inspection must be to protect the pros-
pective agriculturist as well as the present one. Thus insects in-
festing citrus plants, for example, are of compartaively little mo-
ment now, because the citrus is not yet an economic plant of
value to us. JBut, it is not an impossibility that even citrus may
some day play an important role in the economy of these islands
and therefore should be afforded now all protection of a plant en-
joying that distinction. So that it is imperative to maintain pest
free as much of the Territory as possible in order to retain the
possibility of growing profitably whatever the future might re-
veal to our advantage.
It seems to us that inter-island inspection is essentially a county
business. Counties should protect their respective territories,
especially since, because of our geography and the consequent
need of an unproportionate number of inspectors, the chances
that the Territorial Government will be in a position to undertake
the work are remote. County inspection is a regular institution
in California and, to our knowledge, valuable and satisfactory.
Whatever other officers the counties employ they should have a
competent entomological inspector to protect the county against
invasion from insect or fungus pests, existing in other counties,
and not in their own.
MELON FLY, If we consider the horn fly (Haematobia ser-
rata) the most injurious insect on these islands at —
present, the melon fly (Dacus cucurbitae) easily holds second
place. Indeed, if we realize what a boon cucumbers, melons,
cantelopes, etc., must have been to every man, woman and child,
rich or poor, on these islands prior to the coming of this pest, and
how little we have to replace them the conclusion is inevitable
that so long as this fly is allowed to play havoc unmolested the
people will suffer a restricted variety of their vegetable diet. The
habits of the fly are such that it is impossible to check it by ordin-
ary means,—if we consider natural enemies extraordinary .
113
The fly doubtless reached us by way of China or Japan, tho it
is most definitely known to exist in India. Its economic status in
the former countries is unknown. But from correspondence with
the Imperial Entomologist of India the writer has ascertained that
in India it is kept well in check by a variety of parasites and is
therefore seldom injurious. In his effort to combat fruit fly
(Ceratitis capitata) in West Australia the Entomologist of that
State after several attempts claims to have finaly succeeded in
transporting and establishing there several of these parasites.
Upon the strength of these facts the Board addressed the Minister
of Agriculture of West Australia a request for colonies of these
insects. This was the best that could be done under a limited
appropriation. But it is barély possible we should get satisfactory
results from correspondence alone. The late Mr. Craw always
scoffed at these possibilities. He maintained, and we are inclined
to agree with him, that nothing short of detailing a competent
entomologist to the field for investigation, discovery and ship-
ment of likely parasites will deliver us from this formidable pest.
I would respectfully urge therefore upon the Governor and Legis-
lature of this Territory to give this matter their earnest attention
and, if at all possible, provide a liberal fund for this work. There
is no more crying need in the Territory at present.
EXECUTIVE An outsider cannot fully realize the immense tax
OFFICER. upon the time of the scientific force that is un-
necesssarily imposed by executive work. Publica-
tion, printing, purchases and a host of similar tasks should be
carried on by such an officer to greater advantage to the service
as a whole. Such duties are on the State Boards of Agriculture
performed by their paid secretaries. Some such officer is a dire
necessity on this Board. To strengthen the scientific activity
of the staff it must be bound down by lay rautine as little as
possible.

Section 1. Chapter 28 of the Revised Laws of Hawaii is.
hereby amended by adding a new section thereto to be known
as Section 389A and to read as follows:
Section 389A. It shall be the duty of the Board to make
rules and regulations, and to amend the same from time to
time, in its discretion, subject to the approval of the Governor,
for and concerning the importation into the Territory of bees
and for the preservation, protection and improvement of bees
now within the Territory; and for the quarantine, inspection,
fumigation, disinfection, exclusion or destruction either upon
importation into the Territory or at any time or place within
the Territory of any bees and any box or other container and
their contents in which bees have been imported or contained,
which is or may be infested with or liable to assist in the trans-
mission or dissemination of any insect or disease injurious to
bees. All rules and regulations made as aforesaid shall have
the force and effect of law. It shall be the duty of the Board
to establish an observational apiary and all bees imported into
the Territory shall be there quarantined free of cost to the
owners until such time shall have elapsed as to enable the
proper entomologist or inspector of the Board, to certify to the
owners that such bees are clean and free from disease. The
entomologists or inspectors of the Board may enter upon the
premises of any bee keeper for the purpose of inspecting
apiaries, and of carrying out the orders of the Board, and they
shall not be holden guilty of any misdemeanor by so doing nor
shall they be personally liable in damages except for acts be-
yond the scope of their authority or due to their own negligence.

HAWAII BY THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
AND FORESTRY.
—>_S
RULE 4. IMPORTATION OF QUEEN BEES.
In order to prevent the introduction into this Territory of
infectious, contagious or communicable diseases among honey-
bees it is hereby ordered that
All queen bees imported into the Territory of Hawaii shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, namely:
(1) Labels. <A label shall be affixed to the cage, box or other
container in which any queen bee is enclosed, which label shall
set forth:
(a) The number of queen bees enclosed;
(b) The locality where each was produced;
(c) The locality from which each was shipped;
(d) The name of the shipper;
‘(e) The name of the consignee.
(2) Request for Inspection. ‘The importer shall file with the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, at least two weeks prior
to the date at which the queen bee or bees will arrive, a writ-
ten statement signed by himself or his agent or attorney which
shall set forth his purpose to import said queen bee or bees
into the Territory of Hawaii, which statement shall contain as
accurately and fully as possible the following information:
(a) The number of queen bees sought to be imported;
(b) The probable locality where each was produced;
(c) The locality from which each is expected to be shipped;
(d) The name of the proposed shipper;
(e) The address of the importer, and shipping marks.
Said statement shall also contain a request that the Board,
upon arrival of said queen bee or bees, proceed forthwith to
inspect or cause to be inspected such queen bee or bees.
117
(3) Inspection, Immediately upon the receipt of such re-
quest for inspection or as soon thereafter as may be an inspec-
tor of the Board shall inspect each queen bee and if it is found
free from such disease shall cause it to be transferred from
any cage, box or other container in which it shall have been .
imported and shall transfer it to a new and clean cage prop-
erly supplied with clean and fresh candy and with sufficient
bees known to be free from disease to properly care for said
queen bee.
(4) Certificate. The inspector shall thereupon give to the
importer a certificate of his findings upon such inspection and
deliver to him such of the bees as he finds free from all infec-
tious, contagious and communicable diseases.
(5) Destruction of Cages, Bees, etc. Immediately upon the
transfer of any queen bee from any cage, box or other con-
tainer as set forth in Section 3 hereof, said inspector shall
cause to be burned and destroyed such cage, box or other con-
tainer, together with the candy and bees therein, excepting
such queen bee.
If said inspector shall at said inspection find any queen bee
to be infected with any contagious, infectious or communi-
cable disease he shall in his discretion destroy the same or hold
the same for further treatment.
RULE 5. IMPORTATION OF HONEY.
In order to prevent the introduction into this Territory of
infectious, contagious or communicable diseases among honey
bees and in view of the fact that such diseases are in the major-
ity of cases communicated by the introduction into uninfected
territory, of honey, honey-dew or syrup containing honey from
districts in which such infectious, contagious or communicable
diseases exist, it is hereby ordered that
All honey, honey-dew or syrup containing honey imported
into the Territory of Hawaii, shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions, to-wit:
(1) Statement by Importer. Any person or persons import-
ing into the Territory of Hawaii any honey, honey-dew or
syrup containing honey from the mainland of the United
States or elsewhere, upon arrival of such honey, honey-dew
or syrup containing honey at a port of entry of the Territory
of Hawaii, and before such honey, honey-dew or syrup con-
taining honey shall have been landed upon the dock, or if such
honey shall have been landed upon the dock without the
118
knowledge of the importer, then before such honey, honey-
dew or syrup containing honey shall have been removed from
the dock, shall file with the Board a written statement contain-
ing the following information:
(a) The port from which such honey was shipped;
(b) ‘The name of the shipper;
(c) Whether or not the same has been certified by a quali-
fied inspector as hereinafter set forth.
Said statement shall also contain a request that the Board
forthwith proceed to have said honey, honey-dew or syrup
containing honey inspected, and an agreement on the part of
the importer to be responsible for all reasonable costs and ex-
penses of inspection, quarantine and care of the same.
(2) Inspection. Immediately upon the receipt of such state-
ment or as soon thereafter as may be, the Board shall cause
said honey, honey-dew or syrup to be inspected by its inspec-
tor. In case such honey shall bear upon the containers thereof
or shall be accompanied by a certificate or a qualified officer
of any state or of the United States or other country, that the
honey is from healthy colonies of bees, that is, from colonies of
bees not affected with any infectious, contagious or com-
municable disease, then said honey shall be forthwith passed
by said inspector and said inspector shall thereupon furnish to
the importer thereof a permit to land the same or to remove
the same from the dock as the case may be.
In case such honey shall not bear upon its containers, or
shall not be accompanied by a certificate from a duly qualified
officer as aforesaid that the same comes from heaithy cclunies
cf bees as above set forth, then such inspector shall cause said
honey to be removed to some place there to undergo such
tests as the Board shall from time to time prescribe to deter-
mine whether or not said honey, honey-dew or syrud contain-
ing honey is infected with any infectious, contagious or com-
municable disease. Upon the completion of such test said
inspector shall certify his findings. If said honey shall be
found free from any diseases as above set forth said inspector
shall so certify and shall thereupon deliver such honey, honey-
dew or syrup containing honey to the said importer. If, how-
ever, such honey shall be found infected. with any infectious,
contagious or communicable disease, the inspector shall forth-
with notify the importer of such fact and such importer shail -
have a reasonable time thereafter to return or export said
honey to some port without the Territory of Hawaii. But
should said importer refuse to return or export said huney, or
119
neglect so to do within a reasonable time, then said honey
shall be destroyed in such manner as shall be determined ky
the Board. |
These rules and regulations were approved at a meeting of
the board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, held
on September 2nd, 1908.

PROF. KOEBELE’S WORK ON HORN-FLY.*
On April 9th, 1908, I wrote Mr. Koebele final instructions as to
leaving for Europe in search of horn-fly parasites, ard other na-
tural enemies of that pest.- Owing to various circumstances it
was not till considerably later that he was able to leave New York
for Germany. I had requested him, if possible, to call on Dr.
Howard, the chief of the Division of Entomology, at Washing-
ton, as I had understood that that Division might be doing work
of the same nature in Europe, as we were about to attempt. Mr.
Koebele was unable to see Dr. Howard personally, but, after
correspondence, informed me that work on the horn-fly on these
lines would not be undertaken by the entomologists of the Wash-
ington Department.
During the summer months Mr. Koebele’s time was entirely
occupied in making observations in the field, and breeding flies,
together with some parasites and predaceous insects from larvae
found in cow-dung.
In July he wrote briefly of his observations, and especially men-
tioned the importance of Hister beetles and their larvae in devour-
ing the larvae of flies that breed in dung, and also the scarcity of
parasites, as compared with predaceous insects, at that season.
* The following preliminary report was furnished by Dr. Perkins at
the request of the Board and the Hawaiian Live Stock Breeders’ Asso-
ciation.
I20
Before proceeding further it may be said that there are two
methods of diminishing the numbers of dung-eating flies, (1) the
direct method, by the introduction of parasites and predaceous
enemies, (2) indirect, by the introduction of harmless dung-eating
insects, which quickly remove the dung and so leave less food for
the injurious flies to breed in. Somewhat intermediate between
these classes is a third lot of harmless species, which, while they
live in the dung, do not consume it or remove it rapidly enough
to prevent the breeding of the obnoxious flies, but, at the same
time, they perforate the cow droppings with passages in every
direction, and allow the parasites of the flies to more readily ap-
proach and attack these. This class is already represented by
several species here in the islands, and Mr. Koebele sent over lar-
vae of a larger and more robust species, than any that we have
here. At first I doubted the advisability of liberating these, not
because they could possibly do any injury to vegetation, but be-
cause they will probably form part of the food supply of the
voracious Histers, which may partly turn their attention to these,
and therefore destroy a smaller percentage of fly maggots.
Mr. Koebele’s method of sending specimens, so far adopted, has
been to place the living insects with food in glass tubes of various
sizes; these tubes are wrapped in cotton and enclosed in tight-
fitting cylindrical wooden boxes. They are thus forwarded by
mail to Mr. Ehrhorn, the inspector at the port of San Francisco.
Thence to the islands they are sent in cold storage. This method
of sending has proven so satisfactory that nothing more need be
desired. It is only possible during the cold part of the year, but
that is all the better, as it will leave Mr. Koebele free to make
his observations and gather material during the summer, to be
forwarded here in the winter, which is the most favorable time
for establishing the European insects. In all, I have received
up to date thirty-nine vials from Mr. Koebele, containing some-
times a single insect in a vial, sometimes two or three, in the case
of predators; in some have been sent numerous puparia of flies
in the hope of breeding parasites.
Vial 1 contained some living larvae of a dung-beetle (Apho-
dius). Mr. Koebele was of opinion that this species was very
desirable, but, partly owing to local conditions, which probably he
had not in mind, and partly because the insect belongs to that
intermediate class mentioned above, I should not place so high a
value on its services, if established. It is likely to thrive best,
and to be most useful in wetter districts or in drier ones at a con-
siderable elevation above the sea level. From these larvae sent
over, I later on had the satisfaction of breeding a small colony,
which were sent to windward Hawaii, and liberated in a place,
I21
where further colonies could be easily obtained later, if they are
successfully established, as they probably will be.
Vials 2-8 contained puparia of various dung-eating flies. From
these I bred numerous species of a parasite, Spalangia, which I
cannot separate from one already here, and which has been known
here for at least thirty years. I am, however, making further
observations on these, as I have received a nearly identical para-
site from China, through our Assistant Entomologist, Mr. Terry,
and a third also excessively similar is known to me from Mexico.
Vials 9-12 contained similar parasites.
Vials 13-15 contained predaceous beetles (Hister and Sap-
rinus) hybernating, one in each tube. It is very important to
introduce these and similar species, and, but for certain special
local difficulties, this would be easy enough.
Vials 16-20 contained larvae of a beetle eating up the larvae
and puparia of flies in dung. Mr. Koebele suggests that this will
produce a Tenebrionid beetle and this is certainly correct, though
the larvae, of which three arrived alive, have not yet matured.
Vials 20-24 puparia of flies likely to produce parasites.
Two species of parasites were bred from these belonging to the
Alysiidae and the Ichneumonidae. Of the latter no pairing was
obtained, but from the former, of which two females and one male
emerged at intervals, a brood may be obtained. Both these and
other allied parasites in numbers ought to be introduced here,
especially as they not only destroy fly larvae in dung, but also
those found in dead carcasses, from which, especially, are pro-
duced the flies that cause maggots in sheep. The chief hindrance
to the establishing of these parasites would seem to me to be the
general absence of such flowers on the ranches, as the mature
insects visit for the purpose of feeding, and especially of those
white-flowered umbelliferous plants, which are found in every
field, hillside and pasture in Europe, and attract these parasites
in extraordinary numbers.
Vial 25. Larva of Philonthus, considered by Mr. Koebele one
of the best enemies for horn-fly. This vial, however, contained
a larva of a Hister beetle on arrival, so that either an error was
made, or the latter devoured the former in transit.
Vial 26-28. Staphylinus pubescens, a predaceous beetle, likely
to devour the dung-beetles, as well as the injurious flies. These
arrived dead, so the species could not be experimented with.
Vials 29-30. Philonthus aeneus, three or four mature speci-
mens arrived in fine condition. As mentioned above (Vial 25)
Mr. Koebele considers a number of species of this genus are
wanted, being very important.
Vials 31-34. Contents mostly dead and of not much import-
ance. ~
122
Vials 33-35. Three or four mature Hister beetles received
alive recently.
During the coming summer I have suggested to Mr. Koebele
that he should get together a lot of material of the above insects,
most likely to be successful, and ship them, as soon as the cold
weather sets in in America and Europe. He should then visit
Northern Africa probably, and the more southern parts of
Europe for other kinds of enemies of horn-fly. Certain local
conditions here are of paramount importance and must be fully
considered in estimating the value of the natural enemies of
dung-flies in Europe, and selection of these enemies must be made
to suit these conditions or no success will be attained. This is a
complicated subject and cannot be entered into in this report; in
fact, my observations on the matter, though I have recently given
much time to it, are still far from complete.
There has recently been a great deal of talk about the intro-
duction of birds into the islands, and some by no means well ad-
vised suggestions have been made in this direction. If birds are
to be introduced at all, I know of none more likely to be of great
value than a common black.and white Australian fly-catcher re-
lated to the little native ‘Elepaio.’ I referred to this bird in the
Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society, Vol. I, p. 10,
as follows: “Another species (of fly-catcher) is commonly seen
catching flies off the backs of cattle. It would be most valuable
in these islands.” An ornithologist, (whose name I forget) con-
nected, I think, with the Museum at Brisbane, informed me that
it would be possible to introduce this bird. I myself had daily
evidence of its great value.
With regard to Mr. Koebele’s work, it will, no doubt, be neces-
sary for this office to make a complete report, when that is pos-
sible, either for publication by this Station or by the Territorial
Board of Agriculture and Forestry.
We are indebted to Mr. Edward M. Ehrhorn, Entomological
Inspector of the State Board of Horticulture of California, at San
Francisco, for receiving and forwarding to us the material sent
by Mr. Koebele, and to Mr. Kotinsky for promptly delivering the
same to us on the arrival of the steamers in Hionolulu.
Yours very truly;
