LIDICKON 1969 a good bed flight. The bird team brought in a H. Didinus in the morning taken from a bed net about 30 ft. high at Sunki (River Camp). When we got back from Sunki ~ 1920, the remains of the capture were still going on. 23 July Went to Sunki to check on nets. Caught 1 Syconyctis & 1 Macroglareus. Asked Anton (local fellow who has been taking the nets) to keep nets open all night. tonight. Ken came back from Sunki - even, with two forest my Phalangers which he had found at Sunki for 25 ft and. Worked all day on specimens. Still to sign of Vince Sovik who was due in on July 20. 24 July Went for Sunki to check nets. We had 15 sets - the nets: Dolomites minor - 2 Hippopotamus Didinus - 1 (only bed from 30 ft. high Ascelliscus - 1 nets.) Macroglareus - 6 Syconyctis - 5 (including 1♀ with 9g. running eggs = WZL 3064 & 3065) Worked all day on specimens. Sovik showed up in late afternoon. He had missed his plane connection to Sydney & had to wait 3 days for a flight to New Guinea. Spend some time talking to Vince & in evening worked it talked with him tomorrow. He wants to get blood samples from as many of the mammal species as possible.
