attracted by the brilliant light of a pressure benzine lantern. Saturday, June 21, 1924. Spent morning collecting along ridge west of Newton's house. Very good collecting with sweep net. Mr. Lea obtained a fine series of small beetles, on which he is an authority, by "whacking" dead twigs into his umbrella. Took a few photographs for Mr. Lea, after lunch. Roll 49:1 and 2 Sprouting hau and cassia fenceposts in Newton's yard. Roll 49:3 Mr. and Mrs. Lea with collecting equipment in front of Newton's house, Colo-i-Suva. Roll 49:4 Looking east from Newton's front lanai across a depression toward virgin forest. Roll 49:5 One of the open clearings in the forest where trees have been recently felled. This is what Mr. Lea, (who is looking for small beetles in his umbrella) calls "Bonza collecting." It's O.K. for beetles. Collected down the road toward Suva, on wood piles and scrub. Also took a few plant specimens. Our two wheeled cart picked us up and took us back to Suva. Reached ship 6:30 P.M. Spent evening pressing plants, putting away specimens and reading mail received by Niagara. Sunday, June 22, 1924. Rained hard all day. Up to Hospital. Spent rest of day answering correspondence and figuring out expense account to date. Monday, June 23, 1924. Not only a holiday - Prince of Wales birthday - but a steady downpour of rain all day. Stayed aboard schooner on the slip and answered rest of correspondence.
