book; and the statement that the Ha-
waiian Commercial & Sugar Company Is
mill at Puunene sis the largest sugar
mill ON earth," though true, is not .he
way stylist would say-it.
Even some of the geological state
ments may arouse controversy. Mr..
Baldwin has adopted DIR. s. Z. Bish-
ops theory of the short duration Of
the outburst that created Diamond
Head and Punchbowl and similar cones.
And it is almost certain that the opin.
ION that there was an outbreak on the
slopes of Haleakala hundred and
| fifty years ago will be controverted.
But all of these minor inaccuracies
and others that there may be, can be
easily eliminated in revision, and in
any event win not detract from the
real value of the book. AS school
text book the test of use will deter
mine its exact merits. As a hand
book of the Islands il is far and away
the best that has been written.
