Roll 77:2. Ovalau island from east, at 6 miles. (11613) Roll 77:3. Central portion of Ovalau, at 3 1/2 miles. Roll 77:4. Levuka from entrance through reef. (11614) Arrived Levuka at 10:35 and took room at Royal Hotel. Saw Mr. Chapman, photographer, about developing films and spent part of the afternoon securing information about Ovalau from D. C. Pennefather and about Ba from Mr. Kendrick. Sunday, October 19, 1924. Left hotel at 7:30, stopping at Nasova to secure letters of introduc- tion to Buli Bureta and Buli Lovoni from D. C. Pennefather. Followed on down S.E. coast of Ovalau, along a fair road. Roll 77:5. Naikorokoro village and foothills, looking N.W. (11615) As one proceeds south the forest recedes onto the higher slopes, the forehills being covered with gasau (plume) grass, scrub and weeds, including guava. Roll 77:6. Takon village looking W., with South Peak (967') in back- ground. Note the appearance of the coconut palms, browned by Leuvana. (11616) The southern bays are choked with mangrove swamps. The slopes bear a luxuriant growth of weeds, scrub, pandanus, tree ferns, and scatterd trees. Köster's ourse dominates the weed growth, here as elsewhere, forming 6 to 8 foot stands. This portion of the island is not much cultivated, but has a number of small Hindoo ferns. Walked entirely around the south end of the island, past Galindundum and the swampy mouth of the Bureta river, called Wainaloku. People here are few and far between. Would have done much better to have taken another and more direct trail to Bureta over the hill, but this I did not know at the time. Missed the branch trail leading up the Bureta River. The day had been a bright sunny one, but now it began to rain hard.
