Developed two rolls of films in evening. Monday, September 29, 1924. Ashore for 2 1/2 hours at 6:45 on the larger islet. It is perhaps the roughest island we have visited in Lau, although portions of other islands have been as rough. It is subrescent shaped rising gradually with limestone "bad-land" formation on the S.W. and dropping off sheer on the N.E. for the whole 190 feet. The N.W. side is a lower cliff and the S.E. tapers down to a point. The island is covered with the usual trees, shrubs and herbs found on rough limestone islands. Found one of the larger "strangler" banyans with new light green leaves (No. 591). Insects except small moths and mosquitoes scarce. A number of red brown ants and the white and black and red-brown and black butterflies present. Usual small landshells on leaves of herbs and shrubs. Also quite a few on leaf mold. Took a paper bag full of the latter. Small purplish to red-brown coconut crabs. Saw scores of "flying foxes" - fruit bats with light brown bands about their necks. Returned to schooner at 9 A.M. and underway for Wailangilala island. Spent morning wrapping up alcoholic specimens. Anchored off S.W. side at 12:30. Roll 71:3 Wailangilala island from the S.W. (11577) The island is flat with a sand or slab sandstone beach. It is surrounded by a fringe of the usual beach plants including Seaavola, Tournefortia, guapua, Acacia laurifolia, Pandanus, Pemphis, milo, etc., with Ipomoea pes-capri and the yellow flowered burr creeper beneath. The interior supports a grove of cocoanuts, numerous papaya trees and such plants and trees as buka, Hernandia peltata, the tree with the large peltata leaves and sub-spiny capsules, noni, "male" fern, tree with serrate leaves and pendant spikes, etc. Great numbers of noddy terns nesting in the coconut palms.
