shape of large sweet potatoes. They grow wild and are called kau kava. Landshells are called vivili. Returned to village and collected a few house flies. They are of the narrow fronted male variety. Also found two small blackish brown beetles in debris or sand. Mr. Beck furnished a pigeon fly, a baby walking stick, and a flat brown landshell from the island and a Bostrichid beetle from the hold. Thursday, September 11, 1924. Tuvutha, N.E. End. Ashore at 6:45. Near the village a stream of fresh water issues from a small cave in the limestone ridge, flowing into two little pools, the first used for drinking and the second for bathing. Up the steep ridge trail to north basin. Caught male and female walking sticks (Phasnids), the small male hanging, characteristically, to the back of the larger female. Both have small pinkish wings. Ate the kernel of a Barringtonia odulus fruit, finding it very palatable, flavor much resembling that of a chestnut. Small landshells very abundant; among them a single specimen of a dif- fèrent type, on a leaf, conic and about 1/4" high. The heavy set fuscous leafhopper, which is brown beneath, hangs at rest on a leaf with wings outspread like those of a moth in flight. Wingless black stinking roach and greenish jumping beetle under bark of a fallen tree. Slender gray and brown millipods and red ants under bark of another dead tree. Saw a moderately small gray jumping spider eating (or sucking) one of the moderate size cream and gold moths. Crossed the north basin to N.E. end on the trail and continued on it down the steep face of the limestone ridge to the N.E. beach. Here is situated another grassy volcanic ridge, about 1/4 or 3/8 mile long, 200 yards wide and
