To this we agreed as it was our only chance and further because our boat was out of sight! At 4 P.M. we investigated the hill to the north west of the village going up a path immedi- ately back of Chris Harrett's house. He climbed down all of the sandstone series, here not very exposed, and then came up on the coral reef. At the top of the reef or a little higher, there is a well defined elevated beach on which there is a small lake. Back of it a few hundred feet there is a limestone cliff totally 20 feet high nearly all of which is covered with vegetation. At the top here and then the crests steep off and at one place a man had fallen down in which we soon found fragments of Glenellus and Pitygurus. Here the flies and mosquitoes bit hard in my arm and I concluded to abandon the attempt of collecting from it. He then descended and went a mile further north and up another path to inves- tigate another and better exposure. It was the hardest kind of work to get to this place in fact Tom helped alone got there. The hard chance here was not only the insects
