CONSUL 0AKLEY:-It was my intention,
dear Consul, to write to you already some
days ago, but various unusual engagements
have added lately to my departmental work so
that 1 had not much leisure indeed. am not
quite certain whether sent you the last pub
LEGATION of the Acclimatization Society, which
contains notes on many eucalyptii ANY how
the copy will likely prove useful. The New
Zealand Government have undertaken to re-
print the former parts in a rearranged whole

forward some copies to the Hawaiian Govern
nent. His Excellency the Minister of Foreign
Affairs is right when alluding to the eucalyp-

llong the water courses which supply the Ha-
Taiian city other kinds of trees should be
yrown. The Arensia, the Australian Waffle
Araria, has proved the best for condensing va

Experiments with this, with elms and oaks
md variety of other trees might be made
n these experiments. will be happy to aid

UGH purpose. 1 will send again eucalyptus I
eeds for transmission by next mail, but they i
would be particularly recommendable for rails t
ng hardwOOded timber quickly in woodless {
istricts of the Hawaiian Empire. !
If it is pleasing to you will from time to {
ime send you publications and seeds such as |

GU here so jealously are watching. I
With regardful remembrance, j
