Enderbury Island (part of the Phoenix Group)

Enderbury Island lies 37 nautical miles E.S.E. of Canton and 186 miles south of the equator. In contrast to Canton Island, which is largely lagoon, Enderbury is nearly solid land, with the lagoon reduced to a small, shallow pond, a few hundred yards across, and dotted with sand islets, covered with a mat of Sesuvium, which also carpets the surrounding basin.

The island measures a little less than three miles north and south by about a mile wide. The elevation around much of the rim is between 15 and 22 feet, with a small mound of low-grade guano rising as high again on the northwest side. The central part is depressed toward the south, and to the north has been dug over for guano until it resembles a great mine dump.

Much of the surface is carpeted by herbs, bunchgrass, Sida, and morning-glory vines, and there are also several small clumps of trees. These include three groups of coconut palms, each surrounding a moist depression. Of these there were in 1924, from north to south, 22, 12, and 26 palms; in 1938 several of these were seen to have lost their crown of leaves, 14, 9, and 8 still growing.

Near the south end there are two large and six small clumps of kou trees; also one clump on each side of the mound, and a few scattered trees. A grove of green heliotropes covers a few acres near the centre of the west side, with a smaller thicket on the southeast rim, and a single tree which screens the camp from the sea.

Most of the beach is composed of sandstone slabs and coral rubble, alternating with short stretches of sand. The northern end is surfaced with jagged fragments of coral, which clink as one walks over them. No wonder natives at some period, guano diggers or before, built paths of smooth stones across this area. One can easily imagine that, at time of storms, waves may sweep across this low part of the island. The steep beach is fringed by reef 60 to 200 yards wide.

利岛(凤凰集团的一部分)

利岛位于37海里的E.S.E.粤菜和赤道以南186英里。坎顿岛相比,这很大程度上是潟湖,利几乎是坚实的土地,泻湖降低到一个又小又浅的池塘,在几百码,点缀着沙子的小岛,覆盖着一Sesuvium垫,这也地毯周围的盆地。

岛上措施有点不到三英里的北部和南部大约一英里宽。海拔约多的rim是15至22英尺,有一个小堆低级的鸟粪上升又高的西北边。中部是抑郁向南,向北一直挖了对鸟粪直到它像一个大矿垃圾场。

太多的表面是中药铺着地毯,bunchgrass,Sida,牵牛花藤使幼儿园,还有几个小丛生的树木。这些包括三个组的椰子树,每个周围的一个潮湿的抑郁。这些有1924年,从北至南,22日,12日和26日手心;1938年,其中的几个被认为已经失去了自己的冠冕的叶子,14日,9日和8仍然在增长。

南端附近有两个大型和六个小型聚集的寇树;也一丛两边的投手丘,和一些零散的树木。一片绿色的缬草覆盖几英亩的中心附近西边,用一个更小的灌木丛对东南亚的边缘,和一个树,屏幕从海上的营地。

大多数的海滩是由砂岩石板和珊瑚碎石,交替使用短绵延的沙滩上。北端是与锯齿状碎片珊瑚的浮出水面,这是我们走过他们碰杯。难怪当地人在某个时期,鸟粪挖掘机或之前,构建路径中光滑的石头在这个区域。很容易想象,在时间的风暴,波涛席卷这个低的部分岛屿。陡峭的海滩流苏礁60到200码宽。
