the lowlands on the coconut palms and other trees. The two small landshells collected on the summit ridge on leaves were all I saw on Totoya. There seems to be a good deal of communication between the small islands. Saw two cutters come in yesterday and one arrive and one leave today. The principal village seems to be Ketci on the middle of the opposite (E.) side of the lagoon. It has white buildings with red roofs. In lifting the anchor in getting underway the chain broke and we lost both anchor and 30 fathoms of chain overboard. Forced to return to Suva for another anchor and chain. Thursday, July 17, 1924. At sea, tacking against a head wind in the triangle formed by Matuku, Moala and Totoya. Spent morning packing five boxes specimens to send north from Suva, writing up notebook to date and a letter to Gregory. Afternoon checking Veitch's list of Fiji coleoptera (obtained from Mr. Lea) against my list of the identified species in the collection of the Department of Agriculture at Suva, and making additions and corrections to the latter. Spent evening writing out photographic data. Friday, July 18, 1924. Spent day reading and writing some popular notes on the three islands of Fiji visited. Ship tacking against head wind south of Nagau. Removed last plants from dryer and finished packing box 5. Enough left over for box 6. Saturday, July 19, 1924. Arrived Suva at 8 A.M. Ashore and got bill of lading and customs
