Of Trachoma late this last year. I3 was not Developed. The only stark teeth were p3 and dp4. The movement of the lower ram may spread the irritation for cleaning. Temp. 3 pm., 96°. Drove over to Offham, 565 miles from Brisbane, in the afternoon. A more picturesque forestland than Mirribooks, with much more shade and an ever-flowing six inch brook only a little way from the house. We drove due to Goulburne Hole on the Warrego River and camped there for the night. Twenty set traps and ten more traps produced only one straw coloured stone mouse (which am saving). Jacking from 8 to 10 resulted only in the accidental shooting of a Boobook owl, the paired eyes of which I thought were those of a flying phalanger. No other eyes, not even of a rabbit, was seen. A fat bat flew through its beams. The Warrego at that place is a substantial river with numerous dry flood beds, which made perfect fishing beds for one of the hunting lizards. (See photos.) At Offham we stayed for tea and met the manager and Palmer. This relative. Offham is Mrs. Gerry's real feed party. It is just holding the fort at Mirribooks in his brother's absence. The vegetation at Goulburne Hole is the finest I have seen in eastern Queensland. Huge Eucalyptus rostrata, pines with beautiful smooth pale black peen bark fringe the water, and great gnarled old Eucalyptus coriacea; Coolibahs, with shaggy, blackish grey bark stand higher up in the dry soil. Masses of bubbly fringing shrubbery are formed by low-growing thorn-tree, Melaleuca. The book has been flowing since 1908, years. Its flow- during that time has fallen off by about 20%. The great rat plague of N. Queensland originated in the Hayfield area in March 1909. Were they R. villosus? How was a lytton plague in 1908. Both years were "good" years for vegetation. The rats appeared in such swarms that if a bone were thrown out from the camp supportable eyes (I can't read to eat at it. Fiddler, worthy estate had to be pulled away at night + all brush doors tightly closed. In
