Profile of Katafanga From the East. Ashore at 12:45 and met the owner of the island, Mr. T.O.U. Stockwell. He took it up as a free hold land and has a large acreage of coconuts producing about 70 tons of copra a year. He and his Tongan wife and little girl occupy a very comfortable wooden house. The six workmen have a house a few hundred feet nearer the S.E. end. The coconut palms looked healthy except for some of the leaves which were badly infected with what Mr. Stockwell called "leaf miners." They were also badly eaten by the walking stick (Phasnid). Mr. Stockwell said that some little damage had been done to the palms by a violent hurricane of March 15, 1923. He also said that he had known hur- rricanes in Lau as late as April 13. The mosquitoes were very troublesome. The wind, however, was light and from the N. W. blowing them over from the moist N. end. Mr. Stockwell said that they were not generally so bad. Both the shiny black and the dull fuscous stink bugs very abundant. The latter being in clusters on the papaya leaf stalks (petioles). In the grassy area the large grasshopper very abundant. Spent most of afternoon exploring the north limestone end. Insects were very abundant and a number of landshells (all small) seen. Several species of butterflies, one of two species not previously seen in Lau. The large gray noctuid moth with pink hind wings marked with black fairly common, but unable to catch one.
