Wedneeday, June 11 » 1913. 



Balik Kukup, Manimhora and Irahan. 



I got a few more rats this morning* Jher© was no favorable 

 hreeze until ahout three o'clook thie afternoon. Just before 

 leairing. I went a^ore and had a §D0d bath for I certainly dislike 

 these islands ttiat haT© no fre^ water. We reached lianimbora in 

 about an hour and a half, and after exarainlng this little island, 

 decided there was nothing to oolleet.sG set sail for I*ulo Iraban. 

 Manimbora ie an island about tw hundred and fifty shards long and 

 entirely planted with coconuts ^±oh are about twenty years old 

 but have practically no fruit, probably because until now there has 

 been no one to care for the trees and stay on the island. 



W© came to anchor within half a mile of Sraban about 8: SO P.M. 



Thursday, June IE, 1913. 

 Pulo Braban. 



fhis island, as it ie called, forms the southeast end of 5and- 

 jong Buaja Buaja. The latter, hovtever, is aa ieland of nmngrares, 

 but Eraban is composed of sandy soil and is planted with coconuts, 

 most of *.ioh are bearing miQ. look fine & healthy. The kampong 

 consists of five houses belonging to as many families, the Oivners 

 of the coconuts. She natives are Bajans and Bugis. 



I shot some small fruit bats and some bright coloured birds 

 thie morning among the coconuts and along the edge of the mangroves 

 that surrotmd them. Small birds are common, especially sunbirds. 

 fhe kingfisher of the island is also common here, though I got none.
