Sunday, March 22, 1924. Too rough in A.M. to land, so spent morning writing up notes. Same in afternoon - changed [illegible] on plants. Developed 6 rolls films in evening. Sunday March 23, 1924. "Too rough" to land with ships boat, but got natives to take me in to shore in their canoe, at a second day landing off N. copra shed:- dangerous except for canoes because of reef, which must be ridden over on the wave. While waiting for a rain squall to pass visited the native cook-house and watched them prepare breakfast. In a large iron kettle they had a mixture of pumpkin, coconut and flavor called "panke" - (pancake or pumpkin, I'm not sure which). This they wrapped in 4 puapua leaves first moistened with coconut milk, (= tafono), with the stems out and tied with a coconut fiber. Caught a cricket in cook house. There is considerable area of pumpkin vine about the copra camp and I took leaf and flower specimens. South along W. side. Here the coconut palms continue but the stand is thinner, with considerable low brush (Scaevola, Noni, Sida, etc.) beneath. As one goes S. and E. the coconuts finally cease and one enters a low rather open forest which has been recently cut over, the brush being piled in parallel rows across the island rim, spaced 20 to 25 feet apart. This forest consists of Tournefortia, Noni, Kou and Buka with a fringe of Scaevola on each side, (the order gives = order of abundance). The blue butterflies are very abundant (I caught 4 at one stroke of the net), as are also several species of moths. Dragonflies and leafhoppers also abundant. Numerous spiders with moths, butterflies and dragonflies caught in web. Coccinellid attacking mealybug on Sida. Brown bugs on Sida. "Monoplane" moth and slender brown bugs on Boerhaavia. Large, fat caterpillar on Tribulus.
