The subscriber was appointed at the last meeting of the "Nuuanu Valley Cemetery Association," to prepare a list of the interments which had been made, and to keep a register of future interments. As nothing of the kind had been done, it was with some difficulty and labor that the foregoing was compiled, and upon examination, H may be found in some respects erroneous. If such should be the case, the subscriber will esteem it a favor to have the error pointed out, that a correction may be made. The importance ofkeeping a full and correct register will appear obvious. A majority ofthe interments are those of strangers, respecting whuse death aad buriul, enquiries may be made in after years. This is already tbe fact. In some instances, surviving friends may wish to erect monuments; should this be the case, how necessary to be able to identify the spot where the interment ems made*, and to ascertain the date, etc., when the death took place.
