W. Jack has still a few fossils - parts of Diprotodon
chiefly. He has one which neither of us can
ravel: I am going to photograph it. It is part of
a mandible, the inner half chipped away, exposing
a single longitudinally striated tooth & after traces
(infrequent) of alveoli infantilis and behind
it. Externally there are 3 small foramina.
Beneath the nerve canal is wholly exposed by
brushing away the inferior part of the dentary.
Engraved a dent at the heel.
Studying trees, carpet snakes, up on Bungya.

& for up to its Guest House at 12.30. The way did much
over block and plateau mainly to what. Then the country
canged in patched to outcrops of "basaltic" (said it in)
rock - low flat, tipped hills - outliers of Bungya Ranges.
The grey-green Eucalypt forest persisted, then trees
intermingled with the deeper green of rain forest, yarrah
