Friday, May 23, 1924. Helped Mr. Beck Pack up. Put away large quantity of specimens collected yesterday. Collected about camp. Up to the orange tree and tried to find cause of decay on oranges,,which sets in in certain spots before the fruit drops to the ground. Opened up several fruit in various stages of decay, find- ing two small translucent, dark headed maggots in one, directly under the "puncture." This "puncture" seems to be the point of entrance for the fungus rot, and appears to be caused by a fly. Have observed a blue, fuscous banded winged Trypetid or Ortalid about the woods, but not on the orange trees. Collected all the insects seen coming to the tree as follows:- Brown nitidulid beetle, blue Lamparidae, green dolichopodid fly, brown drosophilids, slender black and gray Tachinid, blue slender abdomened Syrphid, dark green wasp, brown ichenumonid. Correia and sailor came up. Started the sailor down with the camp out- it and Mr. Beck's bag and followed slowly collecting all the way. Carved up bark of rotten log finding:- centipedes, worms,elongate, slender, black short- winged beetle and its larvae, other larvae, 'sowbugs. Also scared up two crickets which got away. Collected two lizards and bought another snake for one shilling. Got back to Salailua just in time to see the finish of a "hookelau," which is called "faiva" in Samoan. The net consisted of long lines twined with coconut loaves. The fish were driven in as the net decreased in size - about 50' by 30' oval. Instead of drawing them up on the beach, the fish were driven into a large mat, weighted with stones. The sides were held out of the water and when the stones were removed the mat came to the surface with the fish. Catch exceedingly poor, consisting of two moderately large fish, a dozen small ones, two garpike and a few minnows. The boys have a throwstick game called kia. The round slender sticks 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet long are thrown underhanded by means of a cord about 2 1/2
