After listening to the communica-
ton the Board adopted the following
resolution py a unanimous vote:
Whereas, There are no live snakes in
the Territory of Hawaii, and there is
no probability of the introduction OF
any into the territory unless they are
purposely imported; and,
Whereas, The climate and other con-
ditions in Hawaii are such that if in
troduced and liberated here they would
probably multiply with great rapidity;
and,
Whereas, The Introduction of pois-
onous snakes into Hawaii has hereto
of Agriculture, but the introduction OF
non-poisonous snakes is not so prohib-
tied, but may be permitted by the IN
spector of the Department of Agricul-
ture; and,
Whereas, There are many poisonous
snakes which closely resemble non
poisonous ones, and there is no snake
expert in Hawaii competent to distin-
guish them, rendering it possible that
poisonous snakes may be introduced
under the belief that they are non
poisonous; and,
Whereas, No good purpose or benefit
to the people of Hawaii can be sub
served by the introduction of snakes
of any kind into this Territory, and
it is the earnest desire of the people of
Hawaii that the introduction of live
snakes into this Territory be prohibit
ed entirely; be it
Resolved, That this Board do earn
estIy request. the Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, to extend
the regulation heretofore promulgated
on May -, 1902, which prohibits the
importation into Hawaii of poisonous
snakes, so that the same shall prohibit
the introduc ton into Hawaii, both
from foreign countries and from the
States and Territories of the United
States of snakes of all kinds;
And also, that the special inspector
of birds and animals at Honolulu be,
by such regulation, empowered and di-
rected to cause the immediate re-ex
portation or destruction of any snakes
which may be introduced contrary to
the terms of such regulation:
And be it further Resolved, That
this Board ask the assistance and sup
port of other officials and organizations
interested In Hawaii, to secure the pas
sage of such a regulation.

THE SNAKE IMPORTATION.
Honolulu, T. H., June s, 1905.

Honolulu, T. H., June s, 1905.
| Board OF Agriculture and Forestry,
, City:
! Gentlemen: During the past week
! an occurrence happened which calls for
| action by this Board.
| Mr.. a. V. Gear imported a lot of
! snakes, fifteen in number, of which
! fourteen were landed alive. OF these,
| five were full-grown rattlesnakes, the
! other nine being of several varieties.
| In the absence of a snake expert, | am
unable to say whether any of them
! were poisonous or not. The snakes
were purchased from Mr.. Gear at cost
and killed.
An examination of the law upon the
subject renders it uncertain whether
or not this board has any authority to
prohibit the importation of snakes IN
to Hawai- An examination of the
Fe ,eral law shows that under the so
called Lacey act, being an act of Con-
gress, approved May %, 1900, entitled
can Act to enlarge the powers of the
Department of Agriculture, prohibit
the transportation by interstate COM
merce of game killed in violation of To-
cal laws, and for other purposes the
Secretary of Agriculture has power to
prohibit the Importation of snakes in
to the Territory of Hawaii. On Feb
ruary Is, 1902, the Honolulu Collector
of Customs, E. R. Stackable, recon-
mended to the Treasury Department
that measures be taken to prevent the
landing in Hawaii of snakes and other
reptiles enumerated.
On Nav 9th the Treasury Depart
ment responded to the Collector of
Customs, stating that the matter had
been submitted to the Secretary of Ag-
riculture and enclosing a circular is
sued by James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, dated May %, 1902.
Under this circular the admission of
poisonous snakes into Hawaii is pro-
hibifed altogether, permit from the
local inspector, who is now w. A.
Bryan, being required for the landing
of any other snakes.
Under this condition of affairs, no
attempt has been made to import
snakes into Hawaii, other than the one
now noted.

to make as thorough an investigation

HARD TO DISTINGUISH.

I am informed that there are many
thousands of varieties of snakes, and
that in many cases the resemblance be-
tween poisonous and non-pOisonous va
rieties is so close that no one but an
expert can tell them apart.
As there is no expert on snakes in
Honolulu, there is the constant danger
that a poisonous snake may, by mis-
take, be admitted into the Territory
with the always present possibility
that it may escape and multiply.
The present inspector, Mr.. Bryan,
states that in view of the prohibition
of poisonous snakes and the possibility
that an apparently non-poisonous snake
may in fact be poisonous one he
does not propose to issue permits in
favor of admitting any snakes.
There is no certainty, however, that
Bryan will Indefinitely hold this office,
and there is always the danger that
permits may be issued by the local in
spector There is also the possibility
that an appeal might be taken which
might eventually result in the intro
duction of live snakes into Hawaii.
In view of these facts and of the fur
Their fact that there are now no live
snakes n the Territory, and that for
years all the successive governments
have absolutely prohibited the intro
duction of live snakes into the Terri
tory of Hawaii, 1 suggest that it is in
the highest degree in the public inter
est that efforts be made to secure a reg
ulation to be issued by the Secretary
of Agriculture to extend the present
prohibition of poisonous snakes to in
clude snakes of all kinds. Not until
this is done will we be entirely safe
in this matter.
The reason for this Board taking ac-
tion in this matter is that it is the
duty of this Board to protect agricul-
ture and forests in this Territory.
DANGER TO AGRICULTURE.
With the dense tropical jungles
which grow in this Territory and the
nature of the cane fields. | can imagine
no greater blow to agricultural pros
perity in Hawaii than the introduction
of poisonous snakes in the cane fields
and forests of Hawaii.
As there is no good object to be
served by the introduction of non-pois-
onous snakes, other than to use them
as curios for exhibition purposes, it APP
pears to me that no chances should be
taken in the matter, but that we
should bring every possible influence
to bear to secure the absolute prOhibi
tion of the introduction of snakes into
Hawaii
I therefore recommend that petit
ton be sent bv this Board to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, asking him tC
| extend the present prohibition of pois
| onous snakes to include the prohibition
| of all snakes entering the Territory OF
Hawaii.
And also that this Board request
other proper officials and organizations
TO add their recommendations to the
| same effect.

President Board of Agriculture ano

June 8, 1905.
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture
and Forestry:
Gentlemen: I have the honor to
submit the report of the Division Of
Forestry for the past week.
On Tuesday afternoon, May 3Oth, L
left Honolulu for a short trip to the
Island of Kauai, where determined
upon the final location of the Forest
Reserve boundary line on the govern
ment s lands of Anahola, Kamalomaloo
and Kappa. These lands are leased TO
the Makee Sugar Co., and form "a part
of the Kealia plantation. The leases
expire in May. 1907. Some time in the
near future the lands VIII be put up at
auction under the year clause, at which
time the portions mauka of the reserve
line can be set apart, providing such
action is not taken sooner. The visit
was made partly at the request of Mr..
Pratt and partly to modify certain
recommendations made after a visit to
the lands in the summer of 1904, add1-
tional data in regard to them having
in the meantime become available. The
essential points on the line Will pc
marked by Mr., L. E, Harvey of the
/ Survey office.
During the week the routine work
of the Division has gone on as usual
I Three additional laborers have been
taken on temporarily to assist in the
seed collection. During the month of
Nav realizations from the sale of seed
and plants amounting to thirtv-three
dollars and seventy-five cents ($33.75)
We're received by this Division. Fur
ther shipments of exotic seed for eX-
perimental purposes have been recelv-
ed from Japan and from New York.
The museum has received various ac-
cessions during the last few weeks, the
last being the consignments of snakes
! intended Tor the Kaimuki Zoo. These
( specimens have been placed in alcoholic
/ solution in glass jars and are now ON
/ exhibition.
/ Very respectfully.
