Van shot a tiny Seotemis last night & Knockdown a
RhinoPhus with a stick. Roy brought a grass Helomya & Van
another. I had luck; took our first Desembrimys, a young
male, in a double steel set placed at the base of one
of the few surviving cedar sarrano trees at the base of which
is a Joanna hole.

July 17
Last night we went out early, taking only our lights, to a dry
creek a mile west. At dusk we shot thru Taphosoma flaviventris.
About 8:30 George Nankevins came through from Wenlock bringing
a fine male wallaroo shot at the west fork of Sir William
Thompson Range (a low rise in the land dividing the Burton
& Parker drainage systems from each other).
The Taphosoma are white beneath being slightly dusky
posteriorly - very yellow. There is a thorax prong in both
sexes (Ceratophragma). All paired divarticula - two
sacs & ich by, beneath the skin, open into the base
of each formelis on either side of the median line. Those
of the 9 are much smaller than those of the male.
The wallaroo weighed 93 lbs. Its i3 considerably worn,
its m2 not fully in place.
