Mangrove forests dominate the island's periphery. 4) Kiaba Island (8°00'S, 159°27'E), c. 2 ha islet, 2 km east of the mouth of the Garanga River; 6 July 1997,21,26 June 1998. The island is dominated by scrubby forest. 5) Hakelake Island (7°53'S, 159° 14'E), a tiny islet (c. 1 ha); 8 July 1998. Coconut palms and scrubby forest ring the island, with a thicket of dense shrubs in the centre. 6) Longedo'u River (8°'S, 159°'E), middle elevation forest at 500 m; 1-4 July 1998. The hills in this area are covered in dense forest, with occasional small (< 1 ha) clearings for farm plots. Stands of bamboo (Bambusa sp.) up to 10 cm diameter occur adjacent to several farms. Epiphytic growth is much more pronounced than in lowland forests along the Garanga River. The Longedo'u River, c. 10 m wide at this elevation, is fast-running, with several short Fig. 1.
