9 September 1965. Shopping Kampala. Bought telescope & small tent. Drove N. via Bombo toward Morindi & camped along way.

11 September 1965. Talked with Chief Wiston (?) Wheaton (?) about Peter monkeys. He said that K.R.L. Hall had studied them within a mile or so of headquarters. He sent a boy with me & we walked 1½ hrs. but saw no Peters or other monkeys. Drove to Mos- indii, then W. toward Butula. At mi. 26 fr. Morindi (18 from Butula) talked to forest guard who told me Marler had stayed in rest house about 1 mile to W. | Forest in this area thicker foliaged than Kilole but much cut over, replanted, & variously mixed up. Not as humid compared to Kilole, & far from supplies. Looked at Butula, then drove S. thru Norina & camped.
