Both the islands to the east (Moala and Totoya) visible. The village called Tokalou on the chart is out on the east end of the point on the north (instead of the south) side of the small hill. A Euphorbia-like plant with small white flowers, small leaves and milky latex common on N.E. slopes. Collected small brown beetle and green leafhopper on it (but no Poroterhinus). Descended N.E. slopes and returned to schooner via east side and central pass. There is a good trail around the island and over the pass, but it goes up and down all the way, preferring to climb over the ridges instead of going around them. Saw a quantity of bronze-white moths hovering around the dry blossoms of tree 248. Scaevola bushes occasional on the beach. Also saw koa kaole (Lucaena glauca). Traveled most of the pass in the dusk, reaching ship about 7 P.M. Monday, July 7, 1924. South mountain mass and S.W. end of Matuku. Ashore at 7:30, going S. along bay and entered valley to S.W. of Koro Vava. Legume with cyl. brown pods (281) had a black and white banded cater- pillar with brown sides, on the leaves and small ones in one of the pods. One of the dominant trees of the valley (), has a tall straight trunk, rosettes of acuminate leaves, some up to a foot in length, green plum-shaped, apple-scented fruit and white flowers with many purple tipped stamens. More brown crickets with leaf roller-like nests in the leaves of shrubs and trees. The male of the large dark brown white-spotted butterfly (of which I caught several) has a pair of bright yellow plumes, which can be pushed in and out on the end of the abdomen. These emit a strong spicy or musty odor. Followed the beautiful little valley up to near its head, where the little stream divides into several branches. Underfoot the ground is carpeted with ferns and dry brown leaves. Overhead a nearly continuous canopy of foliage makes a pleasant dusk, with the bright morning rays peeping through
