Regarding the evidences of ancient

Lieut. Munter describes these an

or ten stone walls were found. They
were built up vertically on the steep
slopes. forming a level place or plat
form on top. A small stream of water
flowed down the valley near them. The
appended stones, similar to those found
on Neeker Island, were also found here
among these platforms. Inquiry about

have not heretofore been reported or
described.
Considerable labor and effort were
expended in building these platforms.

90 was the most interesting develop
ment of the annual cruise among the

guard cutter Thetis during the month
of February, this year. In the report
to coast guard headquarters, the OBJ
servers report that while there appears
to have been some recent occupancy
OF one OF the Islands by Japanese fish
ermen. there is no sign of depreda-
tions among the birds similar to the
horrible slaughter that occurred sew

no doubt, afforded the necessary drink
for those who in years gone by un-
doubtedly lived for considerable Pc
riod of time upon this island
* X
Regarding the antiquities on Necker
Island, Lieut.. Munter spoke of the is
land as most interesting because "of
the evidence of man having occupied
the island in the distant past"
considerable labor and effort" he
says, were consumed on the part of
these early settlers in building the
stone platforms and marked trails The
platforms or stone mounds are found
on the several peaks and are elevated
as much as eight or ten feet in some
places. A border or fence of rock. con-
sisting of stones selected for their post
like or headstone shape, was standing
on end and spaced at regular intervals
around each platform. while along the
crest of the island similar appended
stones were found. forming sort of
trail"
That there have been no recent bird
depredations on the islands is indi-
Gated by the fearlessness of the bird
life in the presence of the observers
from tho Thetis. SomA of the older
birds. with memories of the evil days
that fell upon them in the past were

lack Of confidence. Lieut.. Stewart took
