Numerous breadfruit trees among coconut groves in lowland. Several small valleys, each containing a streamlet, run into the sloping "nasau"-plume-grass covered forehills. About the plantation area the track is a road with many wheel marks - cart used to haul out copra. Saw a small herd of steers - used to draw the cart. An introduced, large black and white bird from India among the coconuts. On the way fell in with a large, imposing native, who proved to be the island chief of police on his monthly round inspecting the villages. He had been in France in the army and was well informed. Though he spoke no English, managed to obtain some little information about plant names, etc.: - Numerous ivi (Inocarpus/dulus) trees toward south end, along stream. The native name for the yellow-flowered cucumber vine (collected at Oneata) is wa vusovuso. Dralakaka or Mulokaka (Vitex trifolia) also in lowland along streams. The shrub with yellow flowers and white floral leaves is yobo (pronounced vombo). Large dawa trees. Large pod leguminous vine = wa thimbi se valai. At the south west end there is another large ridge of upraised limestone, covered with trees. The trail cuts in behind this, crosses the lower spurs of a grassy ridge and rises over a wooded neck connecting the southern ridge with the grassy hills to the north, descending into a broad coconut filled valley flat. The village of Mambula is located on the edge of a long curved sand beach fronting this valley flat. It is a fairly large village with 130 people. Just west of it a limestone point with lowland forest sticks out to the south. There is a small Chinese store. Landing here is possible when the wind is from the north, but with the usual south or east wind the copra must be shipped from Tarukua. Here met the taranga ni Koro (chief of village) and a native who speaks excellent English. East of this Mambula flat the grassy- and beyond limestone-hills riso
