ABSTRACT
We examined some clumps of a peculiar shrub called Aveteh. The foliage is like that of the jamboo or Malay apple-tree, each spray terminating in a white petal-like leaf. The seeds are minute like those of the tobacco plant. The flowers are of small size, starshaped and of a bright golden-yellow hue. From the top of the hill we viewed one of the magnificent sunset effects that are so common here that nobody specially notes them. But in England, I believe, cloud-pictures of green, scarlet and amber are not so common. B. told me of a magnificent club house at Umin on Map Island, also of one at a place called Atelu, which artists, if any should ever come here, would do well to bear in mind.
