war relics side by side. The only natural history specimens seem to be a few jars of snakes, fish and amphibia and a few sea shells. Mr. George Wright, the Curator, was most pleasant, showing me about. He spoke pleasantly of having met Stokes, Handy and others from the Bishop Museum who had been to the Fiji Museum in times past. He has been a resident of Fiji for nearly 50 years and is well informed on Fiji and its people. The only support of the Museum, except occasional donations, is a government grant of £ 350. Spent rest of afternoon at library. Evening attended a meeting at Y.M.C.A. which discussed whether the in- stitution should continue to exist or not. The general opinion was that it was a great asset to Suva, but no one had any very definite plan for its per- petuation. The people of Suva, as a whole, to which there are a few notable exceptions, seem to lack the energy and enthusiasm of a corresponding American citizenship. Among the exceptions were Mr. Salmon, the Y.M.C.A. temporary secretary and Mr. G. F. Graham, the Mayor of Suva, who was chairman of the meeting. The latter walked back to the "France" with me after the meeting and gave me considerable information concerning the affairs of Suva and Fiji in general. Friday, June 13, 1924. Finished up letters and "Impressions of Samoa". Spent morning at Department of Agriculture working over their collection. Returned in the afternoon after lunch. Makura arrived from Sydney at 2:45 and left at 8:30 taking three boxes of specimens, reports and letter to Honolulu. Late after- noon at Library. Evening writing notes. Saturday, June 14, 1924. After visit to hospital, called on Mr. Campbell, Plant Pathologist.
