Mm Tues. July 5. Only 3 mammals in traps. Drizzle & mist continue. Wenlock fegler, after trouble starty car, got away about 9 a.m. Tues. July 6. Hyp. Jitta brought: 1 snake from last Claudio River; 1 Lizard from Jim Rye Flying Strip; 1 Hippodamus cervinus from Lone at J.R. F.S. Wed. Thurs. Fri. up mountain.

Such cavities are not runways, though they may be used sometimes by mammals & second such. Other more open "runways" were in my opinion down-hill water channels floored with slipped Casuarina needles. Guff & Guff went down that afternoon.

All traps put out had bait guards to keep off, as far as possible, the voracious "crickets" (Really wingless Locusts) reported by Van & Don. Do some reboilites +, the sun appearing momentarily, took few photos of Pardon Gully & Tozer. That evening lot of drizzle. The traps began to snap. I found twelve + four crickets at each, often struggling to
