MANGA REVA. 73 



Maru is the principal island on the right of the figure, with Mauini, Aka- 

 Maru, and jMakaroa on the left. 



Plate 72, fig. 2, shows Mount Duff in the centre as seen across Tauna, 

 with Au Kena to tlie right of the figure, and Mekiro to the left. Moving 

 north we look across the eastern horn of the eastern encircling reef north of 

 Tekava Island (PL 73, fig. /). 



Next we come upon tlie inner islands of the eastern part of tlie group 

 Aka-Maru and Mekiro to the left, and Au Kena to the riglit of tiie fig- 

 ure (PI. 73, fig. ^), seen across the island to the north of Tauna. Another 

 view of Au Kena and of Aka-Maru and Mekiro in the centre, somewliat 

 more to the north, is seen through a gap between two islands to the south 

 of Tarauru-roa (PI. 74, fig. 2). 



When looking across the encircling reef east of Au Kena, the massif of 

 Mount Duff and the eastern face of the greater part of the Island of Manga 

 Eeva are seen to the north of Au Kena (PL 74, fig. i). A very similar view 

 is shown, looking across a barrier reef islet through the gap between Ati Kena 

 and Aka-Maru, with Mount Duff on the right (PL 75, fig. 1). 



Plate 75, fig. 1, shows a view very similar to that of Plate 74, fig. 1, from 

 a point somewhat more to northward. A view very similar to that of Plate 



75, fig. 2, but somewhat more to the north of Au Kena, is shown in Plate 



76, fig. 1, extending to the eastern extremity of Manga Reva. 



Another view of the massif of Mount Duff and of the east slope of Manga 

 Reva is shown in Plate 76, fig. 2. It is seen through a gap between Ta- 

 rauru-roa and the island to the south of it. 



Mata-iutea, the eastern point of Manga Reva Island, is seen across the 

 islets of the eastern encircling reef which front the eastern face of Manga 

 Reva Island in Plate 77, fig. 1. The next figure on the same plate shows tlie 

 massif of Mount Duff, with Mount Mokoto as seen from the east across tlie 

 east face of Manga Reva and the islets fronting it ; it will be noticed tliat 

 tlie islets of that part of the encircling reefs are covered wath a very 

 scanty vegetation. 



The remaining plates (Pis. 78-91), are devoted to details taken on the 

 islets of the eastern encircling reef opposite the eastern face of Manga Reva 

 Island. They are the islets north of Tarauru-roa shown in the distance in 

 Plate 70, fig. 1. In Plate 78, fig. /, is given a view of the interior of one 

 of the narrow islets facing the eastern extremity of JNIanga Reva Island. 

 A Pandanus occupies the foreground, and the bushes in the rear are tall
