mud termite nests on coconut and other trunks. Trail finally leads to another native clearing, much overgrown with weeds, containing a good water tank, several small huts and patches of taro, bananas, sugar cane, etc. Ship bore Mag. N. from here. Trail continues up ridge but soon loses itself in thicket. Returned to camp across lots, E. by N. by compass, through hau thickets, thick woods, and finally open "lower forest" and vine covered open spaces. Tuesday, May 13, 1924. All day field trip to 1905 crater (Chart Page 42). Up trail to 1400' and due E. coming out to N.W. on lava flow just S. of where it falls over the bench. Roll 46:4 A typical bit of open lower forest at about 1500' looking W., vine covered open area and fallen logs in foreground. Roll 46:5 Tree No. 141 (lau pata) and typical bit of lower forest and vine covered ground, 1700'. Roll 46:6 The 1905 crater looking S.E. across area of stunted vegetation. Climbed crater and walked around rim to highest point, which is on S.W. side. Caught several Lycaenid "blue" butterflies on very lip of crater. Roll 47:1 Looking N. by E. into crater from highest point, on S.W. side. Roll 47:2 Looking S.W. from same spot toward central high plateau of Savaii. The high peak on the right is the large crater visited May 9. Walked around the south side of the crater and slid down a long talis slope on west wall. Slid fully 200 feet amid cinders and small lava clinkers, to bottom. One place on south wall about 50 feet below rim had a small jet of steam issuing from it, apparently from a series of cracks in the wall. The entire interior (except the talis slopes and slides) is covered thickly with moss and ferns, the latter even growing in places on the talis. The deepest spot in the crater is toward the foot of the south wall, at the bottom of the talis slope I slid down. The air is cool, a good breeze being
