even trunks of trees and shrubs. They prefer the larger leaved trees such as Ficus No. 331 and No. 299. Passed a little grove of 6 to 8 meter tree ferns. Ascended the stream bed until began to encounter waterfalls and then returned over the same route. The cicadas make a racket in the trees even in the middle of the day. Saw a kamani (Barringtonia speciosa) tree - which is usually only on the beach - fully 1/2 mile up the valley. Collected a peculiar epiphytic plant with a long green pod (?) on it. Large and small gray to olive green lizards very abundant in the low- lands, about piles of coconut husks, on rocks and in the trail - apparently making a living off the small insects. Collected a number of plants along the sea beach. Developed four rolls of films in the evening with better success than any attempts on the Phoenix trip. The partial failure there was due to not leaving them in the "Hypo" long enough. Monday, June 14, 1924. Ashore at 7 A.M. Ascended west side of "center ridge" to high bare plateau. Convolvulus vine with pale lavender petals and dark plum colored center (340) rather abundant in clearings in the lowland. Caught half a bottle of the spike-back snout beetle and two large longicorns on a small live tree at about 500' elevation where they were con- gregated in numbers on the bark. Collected several plants on the high plateau including blossoms from a huge Lehua (Metrosiderous polymorpha) tree with a trunk fully three feet in diameter and 50 feet high. It was a pretty sight with the branches loaded with scarlet blossoms. The lowest limbs were 20 feet above the ground and 8 or 10 inches in diameter. Picked up a rock specimen on the bare flat which much resembles solid
