Report on the Haivaiian Islands.
The Hawaiian Islands lie between parallels 18° 50' and 23° 5' north
latitude, and between meridians 154° 40' and 101° 50' west from Greenwich.
A line drawn through the axis of the group would approximate
roughly the segment of a circle convex towards the northeast; the
chord connecting the most widely separated points would have a length
of about 400 statute miles.
Honolulu, the capital and chief city, lies 2,080 miles from San Francisco;
approximately 3,800 miles from Auckland; 4,500 miles from Sydney;
and 4,800 miles from Hongkong.
Mean time Honolulu noon is equivalent to lOh. 31m. 26s. Greenwich
mean time.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES.
San Francisco to Honolulu.—The Australia of the Oceanic Steamship
Company and the Zealandia (W. J. Irwin) leave San Francisco and
return every other Tuesday.
The Oceanic Steamship Company's steamers Alameda, Mariposa;
and the Union Steamship Company's steamer Monowai, leave San Francisco
for New Zealand via Honolulu once a month.
Time.—San Francisco to Honolulu, seven days.
Sailing vessels, with good passenger accommodations, run regularly
from San Francisco to Honolulu.

Sailing time.- -San Francisco to Honolulu, ten to eighteen days.
Pacific mail steamers, San Francisco to China and Japan, stop at
Honolulu every other trip.
"A new company sends its first steamer this month (February, 180.5),
from Tacoma and Seattle to Honolulu. Steamers of the Occidental
and Oriental line to China and Japan [N. Y. Tribune, February 16] are
due to stop at Honolulu."
Steamers of the Oceanic and Pacific Mail companies are under the
United States flag.
POSITION, AREAS, AND GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES.
The strategic value of the islands and their geographical position
are indicated on the accompanying chart (A). In general the islands
are mountainous, covered with verdure, and in parts, especially of
Hawaii, possessing very considerable areas of forest, whose vegetation
is that of the tropics.
The Hawaiian group is composed of eight inhabited, and of four
uninhabited islands. [Chart B.] The names and dimensions of the
inhabited islands are:

The first five of these islands contain the bulk of the population as
well as the chief industries.
Three of the four uninhabited islands of the group are Kaula, Lenua,
and Molokini.
The total area of the inhabited islands is about 6,040 square miles.
"All of these islands are volcanic. No other rocks than volcanic are
found upon any of them, excepting a few remnants of raised sea beaches
composed of consolidated coral sands. All the larger ones are very
mountainous.
"The culminating points of the island Hawaii are Mauna Kea, 13,900
feet, and Mauna Loa, 13,700 feet," the highest points of the group.
" In general the island group consists of the summits of a gigantic
submarine mountain chain, projecting its loftier peaks and domes above
the water." *
On the island of Hawaii the volcanic torces are still in operation; on
the other islands they are extinct.
None of the mountains are of sufficient height to reach the line of

adds: "Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, referred to their true hases at the hottom of the
Pacific, are therefore mountains not far from 30,000 feet in height." Maj Dutton is
frequently quoted in the following paragraphs relating to the physical characteristics
of iit.u island*.
