cemontcd togothcr with shells and the bones of fish. Tho reof reaches tido level, and still tho process of iiregular coral growth and destruction goes on ; heaps of sand are piled up on the surfuco of Iho reof, and are added to by the now material everlastingly pounded and wrought in Nature's labora tory. The -wind.-' assist the action of tho tide and bank up those Hands, and solidify them, heaping them permanently abovo tido level ; thon a few seeds curried by ' wind, or waves, or birds, are cast upon the newly-formed land, anil wo have tho coral islet in its earliest form ; vege tation flourishes and dies, and a shallow soil is created. Nearly all these islands have boen formed where the reof encloses a lagoon. Somotimcs the channels in and ont of this salt water lake get filled up, and tho lagoon itself gradually tills with accumu lation and disappears. Life and death, reaching back into a past which wo can but. dimly conceive, havo acted and reacted upon each other, and will still rcproduco their ever-varying phenomena until the sun shall palo his tires and tho earth tloat a dead mass through space, or bo used up itself in new combinations for the creation of other and brighter worlds. Upon tho reef at Fafaa were to bo seen many varieties of growing corals ; the fungi, with solid, slightly floxible stems and mushroom tops covered with small indenta tions, were specially noticeable. Waving masses of lilac and grey colour firmly rooted to the rock, homisphoros of coral (tho Astraoas and Maoandrinas), and tho branch ing Madrepores gavo variety and interest to tljo scene. Beehe -de - mer of an in ferior sort, was strewn very thickly over tho platform, black, ugly, and almost; mo tionless ; and more rarely wo came adross the valued slug waving his lonrj, gauze-liko feelers in still pools. Opening ono and gutting him, tho body was found to bo thick and tlcxiblo, exhibiting nothing specially repulsive, but rather suggesting v rich glutinous basis for soup. From undor neath loose rooks, in fissures, and among tho coral shrubbery, wo raked out round sea hedgehogs ; somo with sharp spines, Othors with long blunt brown-coloured fin gers, a quarter of an inch broad. Sea eggs, plethoric star fishes, and many beautiful varieties of tufty seaweed, gavo variety to tho sport of roof-hunting. Ono seaweed of an odiblo sort, and locally known as the "Tongan grapo," was tasted, but its pun gent flavour, dear to the palato of an abori ginee or acclimatised European, was not ro ported favourably upon by tho uninitiated. On the outormargin some of tho prospoetors were fortunate in securing shells of valued sorts, tho big clam being specially mime roue. FrcsTi coral and shells, however, create an intolerable stench, and neatly all tho coral that was brought aboard quickly found its way back into tho sea. The odour of decaying fish also became rather too per coptible in tho cabins. Mast of tho pas sengers contented themselves with gather ing tho beautiful little shells deposited at high tido level, or passed tho timo chasing the aetivo little long-legged crabs which scampered over tho sandy beach, and in examining the tenements of tho hermit or soldier crab, which takes possession of shells of all sizes and colours, shewing a good deal of taste in the choice. The in stinct which makes this crab possess itself

fa permanent domicile foreign to its tribe is one of tho most remarkablo things in nature. The crab drags its houso about by means of a curved development of tail, which has prohensilo power enough to mako it almost impossible to dislodgo the tenant without breaking him in two. Some of the shells so occupied aro exceedingly minute, littlo bigger than a good-sized pea. As tho crab grows ho finds it necessary to change his abode, and this ho does with facility md judgment, choosing a shell that Jits him better, and not too large for loco motion. We found shells from pea sizo upwards to a length of about three inches oocupied by these cu.ious follows. Among tho prizes captured on the beach was one of the small whito wator snakes, with which thoso islands abound. It was tempted into a basket by the Rev. Mr Fitchott, and will be duly installed in tho Otago Museum. Provided with axes, two or three of tho passengers exorcised themselves in hewing down a cocoanut tree, and carrying away memorials of their visit in the shape of solid blocks of its trunk, while others con tented themselves with smaller branches or tho flowering top. Members of tho pilot orew scrambled like cats up tho trees, and provided us with an abundance of green nuts to slako our thirst. The steward of the ship, however, had taken moro gene rally-appreciated precautions in this diroc tion in a hamper of fluids and solids, amplo in quantity and variety. Wo roturned to tho ship like a lot of schoolboys after a holiday—wet, tired, and dirty, with a strong odour of stale fish, and in anything but a presentable appear ance The baths, charged with hot sea water, were stormed, and our faces glowed liked boiled lobstor, while our limbs ached with unwonted exertion, when wo tiled down the saloon steps that night to tho wild weird music of the dinner gong. On the following morning, about eleven o'clock, having sent Dr. Buckland and pilot ashore to their island, with an ample store of frozen mutton, the anchor was weighed, and the Wairarapa steamed round the Fafaa Reof, and out by the north passage homeward bound.
