focused into the crater. Cold water drops in places, from the sides, especially on the W. wall, giving rise to luxuriant pockets of ferns, grass and weeds. The insect life is not abundant: a number of gnats and small flies, microlepedoptera, ants, small white leafhoppers, spiders, etc. Lava is brick red and purple black (slag). Distinct smell of sulphur about N. end, where is situated the hole (mentioned on p. 41). This is about 18 to 20 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep, and seems to be a caved in por- tion of a lava tube. Climbed down into it. The walls drip water and are coated with a thick deposit of sulphur. Collected a sample of the crystal flakes. Roll 47:3 Looking down on the hole from a ledge, 40'-50' above it. (11463) " 47:4 Looking S. across crater from same spot. (11464) " 47:5 Looking N.N.E. across mouth of small crater and main position of the lava flow, toward the sea. (11465) Walked down to place where lava "falls" some 200' or more over a low "bench." The lava in this direction is mostly rough and the walking is very difficult. Back to camp over the same trail followed (made) in the morning. Wednesday, May 14, 1924. Packed up. Collected about camp (1275'), catching several wasps, and another swallowtail butterfly feeding on hibiscus bushes. Roll 47:6 The little native hut we occupied in the taro patch. (for 12 days). Down to Safune. Stopped in at store and copped the typewritten sheet called "Geneology of Safune" which was compiled by Mr. O. F. Nelson. Called on Flahertys and met Major Hawkins, a very pleasant ex-war of- ficer interested in photography and natural history. Letter from Gov. Richardson thanking me for the Bishop Museum publica- tions which I presented to him and stating that they would be placed in a local museum soon to be established at Mulinu'u, On board schooner and put away specimens and pressed plants.
