Abstract
Archæology of Fanning Island FURTHER information relating to the ruins of Fanning Island, one of the equatorial islands of the Pacific, was obtained by Kenneth P. Emory in 1934 when he visited the island again after an interval of ten years (Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Occasional Papers, 15, 17; 1939). Three additional ruins were noted and examined and four basalt adzes found after the departure of the first expedition were studied. The three ruins now described lie on a ridge of sand along the south side of a trail from the lagoon jetty and the cable station. Of the first only a small pile of coral 10 ft. in diameter and a foot high remains.
