bushes are between 7 and 10 feet high, a few higher, and they extend from the edge of the lagoon to near the ocean beach. The barrier ridge is not distinctly marked and the height of the rim is not over 10 to 12 feet. The noni trees about 10-13 feet high, have on them yellow flies, moderate size red ants, yellow moths. The Scaevola yellow moths and spiders. (Every- things wet from the rain and collecting off for present). Beach low, wide, sand and lump coral, with a belt of conglomerate above water's edge. Roll 15:4 Looking W.N.W. along the beach. Roll 15:5 " N.W. from same point, across beach toward Scaevola. thicket, which is here 8-10 feet high. Roll 15:6 A typical view in interior of Scaevola thicket, in middle of rim, with coral lump underfoot. Some of the trees are nearly 15 feet high, a favorite nesting place for boobies. Roll 16:1 A booby rookery in a Tournefortia tree surrounded by Scaevola. (11340) Tree about 15 feet high. Caught red coccemellid on Scaevola leaf. Small mite or cricket (?) in boobie nost. The Scaevola leaves are not mined, although some are eaten to transparency in spots. (I suspect the pale yellow crane-fly as the leaf miner, as the Agromyzid fly is present here). The boobies in the Scaevola patch have blue beaks and red feet. Those in the open have yellow bills and gray or yellow feet. On the other side of the lagoon I saw boobies with brown "wastecoats." Toward the S.E. end of the patch the Scaevola became so thick had to take to the beach. It ends about a mile from the S.E. point, with a large Tournefortia tree near its end on the ocean side. Beyond is a transition zone of scattered Scaevola and patches of beach runner, boerhaavia and portu- laca; gradually becoming the usual low vegetation, with low pomphis along the lagoon side. Roll 16:2 An isolated noni plant at the S.E. end of the Scaevola, with pemphis on the right and transition zone on left. Looking W. Note hermit crabs beneath tree.
