Ashore at 9:15, entering by a good boat passage on the north side and landing on a broad sand beach, which borders the north and north-west sides. On the north there is in addition to the usual groves of coconuts and lowland trees a dense fringe of Acacia laurifolia, and another leguminous shrub (No. 517). The northern half of the island is raised to a flat topped ridge, ac- cording to the map, 160 feet high, (I should call it more - perhaps 200'), which has a summit depression within. Between this hill and the beach wall, which rises from 30 to 60 feet behind the beach, on the north-east and north- west sides are narrow valley-like depressions, which have a fairly level floor and in places supports groves of coconut palms instead of the usual dense wood. South of the hill these widen out into an area of undulating badlands, enclosed on all sides by rough walls of limestone rising 50 to 80 feet, which either front the sea or a sand beach of greater or less width. On the N.W. beach beneath a coconut grove are four partly delapidated huts, occupied by the people of Kambara when they come to gather copra. Found one of them occupied by a native and two boys, who had been forced to land here en route from Komo to Fulanga when the fudder of their canoe broke. Having no knife they were unable to repair the damage and proceed, but had been living here for some days with only coconuts for food. We gave them a cane knife, which will enable them to repair the canoe and go on to Fulanga. Worked around to the south side of the northern hill and ascended to the summit. Very rough going like that on Yangasa levu. Both the lower slopes and the summit depression are thickly covered with trees. Collected a ficus which had larger leaves than before seen; also a solanum-like shrub. Found a pigeon nesting with a partly grown chick, just beginning to get its feathers. Crossed some close ruining bad-lands to the large coconut grove near the S. point, west side. It also contains bananas and breadfruit trees. Around the W. beach to the N. side and returned to schooner at 3 P.M. as it was commencing to rain.
