and part of the Lepidoptera. Gave a lecture on Hawaii at Y.M.C.A. in evening. Introduced by Mr. Poole, prominent labor leader and member of New Zealand Parliment. Very appreciative audience of 30 or so. Friday, June 20, 1924. Niagara arrived in early A.M. from Honolulu. Field trip with Mr. A. M. Lea to Colo-i-Suva (pronounced Thölö-5-Suva) on the new cross-island road, about 7 to 8 miles from Suva to north. There is a native village here, but we arranged to stay in a small frame house owned by Mr. Newton. The house is situated in the rainforest near the top of the ridge overlooking the Waimanu River, a tributary of the Rewa, which can be seen in the distance. Farther away to the N.E. rises the island of Ovalau. Got started from Suva at 11:45, and reaching the house at 1: Most of the lowland is open grass country with occasional scattered trees and some introduced guava and other shrubs. About 6 miles north of Suva one enters the rainforest. The trees range in height from 30 to 50 feet, dense in places and with a thick undergrowth and boggy holes or seeps. Conspicuous among the trees is a tall Casuarina (not "ironwood"). The road has been cut through the forest, travorsing a ridge and crossing a divide having an elevation of about 760 feet. A short distance beyond the summit is Colo-i-Suva. Near here Hindus and native Fijins have made small clearings in which bananas and taro will be planted. Spent the afternoon collecting among these, sweeping the dead twigs and looking under fallen logs. The beetle fauna was extensive and decidedly different from anything I was used to in Hawaii. One has to use a different method of collecting to obtain the best results. Found Mr. Lea's method of beating into a white umbrella very effective in obtaining small specimens. In evening had very good success collecting moths and beetles atlight on Newton's front lanai. Also numbers of craneflies, and other insects
