white spots, small yellow sp. and another species which I have not previous- ly collected, fairly small, and patterned intermediately between the Monarch and a Vanessa. It feeds both on milkweed blossoms and on the purple Verbena flowers. On board the schooner at 5 P.M. Wednesday, September 3, 1924. Lakomba - interior. Ashore at 6:45 and up the west slope of Lakomba. Followed a well baten trail part of the way, which led to some gardens well up one of the west flow- ing streams. The slope is covered toward the bottom with an open scrub, with scattered Casuarinas and Pandanus. Above the region frequented by cattle there are also ferns:- the knee deep wing sp. and low staghorn. Higher up found occasional small trees of Metrosiderous polymorpha in flower. The stream beds in the valleys are bordered with lowland trees well up toward the heads of the valleys. Many of them have small cultivated areas containing taro, bananas, yams, papayas, pineapples, sugarcane, kava, noni, ti and coconut palms. Continued on up the slope to a high plateau on which are located a num- ber of hills, cut off from each other by the deeply eroded valley heads. The slope of this plateau is covered with Casuarina, Pandanus, knee deep ferns, saw grass (No. 533), lavender flowered orchids and scattered scrub, with areas of plume grass in places. The scrub is made up of the following:- the narrow leafed species with triangular winged capsules; a species with dense compound umbles (?) of small white flowers and a sub-spiny olive green capsule; "rosebud" shrub with the pink and white flowers and red brown spherical cap- sules and acute 3 nerved leaves the shrub with yellow flowers and white floral leaves; No. 532, and here and there lehua. The soil underfoot is red brown; outcrops have tints of yellow and pur- ple. Toward summits more and more bare areas with water eroded holes.
