single stunted kou bush, 2 1/2 feet high and 5 ft. in diameter. On it - yellow flies and black ants. Some little low, stunted pemphis, mostly dead, along here; a roosting place for frigate birds, and harboring small Reduvioles bugs and spiders. The island rim widens out, with a long sand beach on ocean side; slope toward lagoon covered with dead or stunted pamphis, none over 4 or 5 feet high. Barrier ridge high here (chart says 18 feet). Sandstone beach in places. Long dry arm of lagoon runs up into this widened space. Roll 14:4 Looking S.E. from barrier ridge, across dead pemphis belt toward dry arm of lagoon. In it is a warm, brackish pool of water 80' x 20'. Pemphis bushes larger, some 6 to 8 feet high with black flies, black ants, leaf hoppers, spiders and small white and brown moths. Single large Tournefortia tree, with flies:- muscied, sareophagid, spotted wing ortalid-like small yellow and small black, and moths:- white spotted red and black,yellow (as on Scaevola), white and gray. S.E. of this tree the island rim is flat and xyrophytic. Beach sandy with narrow reef, (waves break about 100 yards out). Roll 14:5 A single upright slab of coral rock and the xyrophytic flat, looking S.E. The S.E. beach is paved with sand-stone. Reef only about 75 yards wide. Lots of driftwood. Orange colored dodder on the brush. Several patches of low pemphis screen a moderately large brackish pond at the S.E. end of the lagoon, and another small pond S. of it. Roll 14:6 The brackish pond looking S.E. 15:1 Same from the other side, looking N.E. Roll 15:2 Smaller sink hole between it and the S.E. dry arm of the lagoon, (11398) looking N.E. Roll 15:3 Extreme S.E. bay of the lagoon, mostly damp sand, with a line of pemphis on the opposite shore, 150-200 yards away, looking S.E.
