The Pseudoveternis had a well dev. y. in porch. Have sand skulls so search can be made for dp 4. Sun. Feb. 8. A storm of wind rain greeted us at 6 a.m. - tasted till about 10 o'clock. Terrible ordered; lost keys, but found them again after hrs. search. Shining six mammals - what a peculiar and honifying stretch the Schorinolatis gives off! Back in the p.m. Left camp at 1:30 in Patt Vallis' old model T & reached "Rocky" at 4 o'clock. Tom rain threatening. The section is changing at last. Drove every day to Simmons' house by the "Sardine" & opened them up to dry. Goust work on them tomis. Closey regretted we found no land-crofts. Said they were two species, also said that the Phalangium spinulosum, australis, principes, acutati, can only be seen at blossom trees. There were some (I suppose) with the fact that birdwoods were in flora at Dryfield). Mon. Feb. 9. Spent day cleaning skulls & putting finishing touches on skins. Arranged tentatively to go out to Mt Etna (10 min.) to limestone caves after bats. RR strike now complete. Weather showy. Temperature cool. Tue. Feb. 10 With Simmons & Vallis drove to Olsen's Cave, Mt Etra, about 10 miles north of Rockhampton. An extensive series of caverns dissolved in the limestone - stairs + bridges built in. Olsen was away. Collected a number of Rhinochelys, the aberrant bat and signs of Taptozous and a vesputilinid - perhaps Scotenines ? Stewed under Simmons' house that evening. Saw from tree - snake. Weather neither wet. Wed Feb. 11 Heavy rains. Put finishing touches on Olsen's cave bats. Stocks getting worse; pick-up of every bus transportation. Possibly going out after the work-at described by Longman from "Epping Forest", 60 miles from Clermont. But don't want to get marooned there.
