Malata, which is a continuation of the limestone ridge, 420 feet high, with a grassy, volcanic hill covered with coconuts at the north end. It, in turn, is separated from Susui by a narrow channel. The latter is limestone with a central plateau (430') and a long low flat to the east densely covered with coconut palms, ending in some low hills with numerous casuarinas, which look of volcanic material. After my return to Lomaloma (when it was too late to go back) heard that at the south end of Vanua Mbalavu, within 1/4 mile of the place I had gone to, there are some hot springs - where the water "boiled up out of the sand" so hot you could "cook food in it" and that near by was a large pool of "warm water to bathe in." Roll 68:6 Row of native palms, (No. 586) in front of the government (11562) buildings, Lomaloma. These were obviously planted, but are none the less native palms. Thursday, September 25, 1924. Munia. Up anchor at 5:45 from Lomaloma and underway for Munia where we anchored off the N.W. side at 6:50. Did not stop at Malata and Susui which lie to the S.E. of Vanua Mbalavu. Malata appears to be mainly of elevated limestone, with a central ridge reach- ing an elevation of 420 feet. There is a volcanic hill at the N.E. end covered with grass, scrub and coconut palms and other portions of the east side may also be of the same material. Susui is somewhat larger and lies nearly at right angles to the main N-S axis of Vanua Mbalava. The highest portion of the island is a transverse limestone ridge, 430' a little west of the center. The lower land to the west is limestone. To the east is a long grassy flat, thickly covered with coconut palms and with one large and several smaller rounded volcanic hills covered
