reef, where two species of the interest- 

 ing red seaweed, Martensia, were se- 

 cured. This had not been seen at any 

 other point. In some rice fields there 

 were found Pithophora and other Chlo- 

 rophyceae. From here we drove back 

 to Kapaa and on south to Nawiliwili, 

 one of the most southern points on the 

 island. We stayed at this place all 

 day, with nothing special to do. So 

 we dined at a Chinaman's on mince 

 pie, sorghum and bread, bought up all 

 the Hawaiian fans, mats and baskets we 

 could find, besides a quantity of polished 

 coconut calabashes, and collected the 

 third species of Sargassum known from 

 these islands, Sargassum polyphyllum. 

 After a weary wait we were picked up 

 in the afternoon, along with a drove of 

 sheep, and carried in a small boat two 

 miles out to sea, where the steamer, 

 "W. G. Hall," lay rocking frightfully.
