R.D. Kirkpatrick 1965 Journal Nukunonu Atoll Tokalau Islands Feb. frequented the Tokalaus during the last half 28 of the 19th century. (cont) All the natives are Roman Catholic. An American man from Mass. (came to South Pacific in 1933) and a young New Zealand priest are on the atoll. Sea planes come to the islands 4 or 5 times a year and ships come for copra and the excellent weavings of the people 4 times a year. Unlike Fakaofo Atoll, wells here are salt so the people catch rainwater from some of the rooftops. Fresh coconuts furnish drinking water. We went with 3 natives in 2 of their boats (powered by out motors) to a fale on an island approx. 8 miles across the lagoon from the village. Hackman collected insects, Thompson and Huber collected birds, Woodward collected plants. After dark I took the .22 pistol and unsuccessfully hunted for Rattus. Set 5 snap traps. Mar. No Rattus were in the traps. 1 Ambrose (Apollo) Perez, Post Office, Nukunonu, Mar. Tokalau Islands, via Western Samoa,
