Caught several yellow and brown butterflies about the shrubs on this beach. From the point, just S.W. of the beach, a line of small palm covered islets runs out E.S.E. to a fairly large islet, about 250 yards long and 90 + feet high. This angle of the island must be subject to strong winds, as the rocks above the undercut shelf for several feet are covered only by creeping Boer- havia and stunted shrubs. Behind this is a zone of windswept palms, Pandanus, and stunted shrubs and trees. north Walked along east beach, partly along small trails, partly on undercut shelf. Passed several small sand beaches. The little pools on the shelf contain numbers of small olive gray brittle-stars. Small greenish or purple crabs are abundant. Struck in from beach, directly west. Traversed a small zone of "bad- lands" about 250 yards wide. This consists of alternate steep, very rough limestone ridges (or rather hummocks, as they do not lead anywhere) and deep pot holes, up to 50 feet in diameter, with steep sides and filled with brush and debris, Then passed some less steep hummocks where the smooth bare rocks, under the dense shade of the forest trees were covered with landshells, often half a dozen on a small rock. Collected a generous sample. Over to the village and watched part of the process of extracting cocoanut oil from pulp, the squeezing of the dirty, rancid smelling oil from the brown pulp into a white enamel wash basin. Up trail a ways to N.N.W. Then cut cross country again directly west. After traversing another zone of "bad lands" came out on small bay, at extreme S. end of the large islet filled bay to S.S.E. of anchorage. Worked up along undercut shelf in water up to my knees. The rising tide forced me up on a rock to wait until the boat came in to pick me up. Mr. Beck brought some beans and leaves of the 3-leafed beach leguminous vine No. 403.
