Small grasshoppers are called guaka. Collected a number of beetles and large fly larvae under bark of fallen tree. Walked north along undercut shelf (it being low tide) about 1 1/2 to 2 miles to another sandy beach near the N.E. end of the island. Caught a large noctuid (?), a species which I noticed before in the rough rock face of the beach shelf. On some rocky islets off this sand beach are several ironwood trees - called Th Cau or Th Cauluro (Casuarina nodiflora) [or it might have been equiseti- folia - neither flowers or fruit]. Met an old native who put me on a good trail leading back through the rough interior to the cultivated flats behind the village. In the little valley behind this sand beach he cultivates manioe, bananas, breadfruit, large and small taro, and dries the coconuts to copra. Collected a specimen of cotton, - apparently not cultivated, on the edge of one of the clearings (No. 421). Mr. Correia had a white moth for me. Bird skinners collected a pigeon fly and a number of small Hippoboscidae, the latter's host not known for certain. Thursday, July 31, 1924. Central and north-east end of island. Ashore at 7 A.M. Down trail toward village and out on a fork loading well out toward N.E. end of the island. Collected quite a few landshells and some insects. Occasionally one sees a shrub with its leaves serpentined with minos. Collected few species of ferns (No. 423 and 424) growing epiphytically from a collar-like bracket high up on the trunk of a straight tree. The tree had been felled, but the ferns were still growing. The bracket, which encircled the tree, seemed to be composed of a third kind of fern, although it was growing from the same
