On way back swept the ferns and shrubs catching a quantity of leafhoppers, small flies, wasps, weevils etc. A number of fish-tailed palms in the village, some of them having trunks 20 to 25 cm. in diameter - larger even than the average coconut palms, and ris- ing to a height of 15 to 18 meters. Fruit an orange nut, shaped like an acorn. Collected a small specimen. Beautiful large dragonfly with green and yellow striped thorax and bright red abdomen and fuscus tipped wings, about a pool.
