to call an end to the party. There was shore collecting still to 
be done, but three of the girls insisted on helping out with this 
/Tbo 
"chore”< as did one of the many boys who were forever hanging 
around the dock. These volunteers turned out to be of substantial 
assistance in capturing animals on, under, and from" cracked coral 
rock, or shaken from clumps of seaweed in the stretch of shore 
between Farepiti and Pahua Points and out to the inner slope of 
the fringing reef. Among the specimens the girls secured was 
the second of our only three examples of prettily marked shrimp 
of the genus Gnat honhvllum . 
Once more, as before and since that ‘'picnic I congratulated 
myself on the wonderful cap^tain v/e had engaged. It vms not too 
long after we returned from this collecting foray that the Cantain, 
a y^mily man himsifeef and a person of great tact, took over. In ■ 
French, the language in which all Society Island youngsters are 
schooled, he said "Girls, it's time to go home". With "Good-bye - 
Au revoir" they were on their way. 
Bowaan's amphipods, and the crustaceans, shells, echinoderms, 
hydroids, bryozoa, and sponges from along the shore and the east 
and south sides of Farepiti Point were not the only specimens we 
got, or the only collecting stations we established on Bora Bora. 
There were some 19 stations at Y;hich v/e collected on this island, 
but in Dr. Rehder’s and my estimation the station "occupied" on 
the Bora Bora reef three days after the "picnic" was the most 
memorable .
