Roll 27:2 Looking N.N.W. through lagoon entrance No. 9 from the lagoon side. Roll 27:3 One of the most luxurious of the islets between lagoon entrances 10 and 12 with several coconut palms and large Buka trees in ad- dition to the usual growth. Taken from bar of No. 11 looking N.W. Roll 27:4 The double entrance No. 14, looking N.W. by N. Beginning at entrance 17 the rim turns east and later S.E. High beach of white sand alternating with sandstone pebbles, underlain with coral sand conglomerate. Reef flat about 100-180 yards wide. Behind the beach rim of broken coral and sandstone pebbles lies an open low, "dry forest". Lots of dead brush but very little drift wood. In one place the pebble beach rises steeply to a height of at least 20 feet. The rim continues narrow, about 1/4 mile. Roll 27:5 The north-east coast, looking west. Note underlying sandstone. Roll 27:6 Another type of pebble-coral beach on the east side, looking east. Roll 28:1 Looking S.E. by E. from near the same point, across the open "dry forest" toward the lagoon. Here between 1/8 and 1/4 mile wide. Bird life much more plentiful here than in W. half:- Terns, boobies, frigates, love birds, plover, and at times red-tailed tropic birds and shear- waters nest and breed here. On Sida:- gray moth, leafhoppers, spiders, green Psilopus fly, small black flies, white micro moths. On Tafono (= Pua):- brown psocid (same as on Pemphis), and the green leaf roller moth, green Psilopus fly. Buka trees:- green Psilopus and yellow flies, black ants, spiders. Numerous little dry leaf nests of Sooty terns in the branches. Large Thysanura, and ants nests in rotten Buka log. Too dry for landshells. Caught black ants, bird ticks, sowbugs, pseudoscorpions and roaches under Mr. Shafer's rest house, east side,, while eating lunch of roast duck and raisin brown bread put up by Mrs. Shafer.
