Maarpu cycilis Abundant, the stamping of the feet often heard, but, due to the very long grass at Lockertie, hard to see — even with a hunting light at night. On the other hand in the short grass country by the Tardine River I stone their eyes easily. I found no signs of the related M. celebatus at the "lip". The Saints killed one at Narn Point in the "forest" sleeve which leads them from Lake Brent. It was common at Portland Roads and in the small pocket of "forest" at Mr. Roger's. No specimen discovered at Mt Tozer (and no tracks). Two tracks + two seen but not taken, at Pooni's Creek. Two males at W. Lock. Two seen a few miles outside Coen, their hip stripes conspicuous. One shot at Abergoolek had silvery puzzled neck. " joined up at Thumillo, Locktown.
