Went to sleep in Griffin's caravan by the log,
because it was cooler (no air conditioning) &
the bed had springs so we could lie comfortably
with my sore muscle. Began malaria treatment today.
Aug 3
Felt pretty weak. Stunned a few minutes &
rested on + off all day. Fever in afternoon but
less severe than before.
Aug 4
Felt better but still very weak. Stunned 1 small
Malaria & did minor parts on this + cty. 4
P. maculatus (3111). Also stunned a couple of Malarays
from the Cyluniki Seminary Took easy. Light
fever only today. About 2230 began feeling very
tired again & still was until about 0130.
Aug 5
5:th again today. Stunned the P. maculatus in the
morning. At lunch brought in 14 Sycoray starlings from
the 5 mist nets he is operating locally. Some were
dead & died shortly. I gave a drink to 38 or 59
+ released. Only 1 + (new term) flew away immediately.
Most of the others definitely died. I went to rest at
1130. By noon I felt very sick. The malaria treatments
apparently haven't been doing anything for me. When
Tom Geddes (and) got back from a driving trip with
Frank Telfort we decided to go into Maday Hospital.
Left about 1800. Checked in & then checked out.
