Saturday April 26, 1924. Up to Molōlōlelei, elevation 2000' with Dr. Buxton and Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, in a Ford, over a very bumpy road. Breakfast at the Rest House at which Mr. and Mrs. Beck have been and are stopping. Then W. and W.S.W. along a rough muddy trail to Lake Lanuto'o. The trail winds through a beautiful moist forest, with tall unfamiliar trees, including a very large Ficus and species of Lobeloids, and a thick undergrowth of ferns, shrubs and herbs, maintaining a level of about 2000'. Collecting was poor because of the excessive moisture and intermittent showers. There were plenty of landshells, most small, and the few insects cought were quite different from those at lower elevations, especially the weevils, flies and leaf-hoppers. A large dark, oval leafhopper on Frey- cinettia. Several species of Orchids seen - one of which I took. Roll 46:3 Lake Lanuto'o looking S. The lake occupies a large crater, about 1/2 mile long, at an elevation of 1900-2000 feet, with a rim 100-250 feet above surface of the water, and somewhat elevated above surrounding back ridge. The water is fresh, good tasting and contains goldfish. On return trip missed trail, overtaken by darkness and forced to spend night in open, with a disagreeable cold rain falling and no food. Sunday, April 27, 1924. After climbing a crater rim to get bearings, (the compass having been spoiled by the rain) we took a N.N.E. direction to the trail and reached the rest house at 11 A.M. Traced portions of a large scale map of the region and returned to Apia in early afternoon. Back to schooner and put away specimens. Monday, April 28, 1924. Spent day doing errands for self and ship. Bought a few necessary
