The Rattus (3) from Passam Ayrlic. Sto. were all
taken in buildings. The Pogonomyx taken by Zwiefal
(no. 3118) was caught by hand 5-6 ft. up in a
creping at night in garden vegetation.
Aug. 9
Skinned a Pogonomyx of another species from
Tambak collected by Rollin Bauer (no. 3119), and
a captive Dactylopsila from Bangor River (no.
3120). Noted that its eyes are very well protected
by the zygomatice arches. In afternoon went to Yaganum
Sulphur Cave with Frank Talbot. First we collected
fish in the stream coming out of the cave - using
water one. We got a good collection but seemed to
miss the biggest ones. Then we went in the cave and
collected 5 more Hipposideros calcotratus for bleeding.
Saw 20-30 more individuals. It was wetten in the cave
than last time but just a lot of muddly. On the
morning I bled the 5 bats and skinned a Pteropus
from Ba:teloy plantation which I had earlier gotten
(no. 3121).
A warm sample from it, it is a different species
from the one at Wannam. Got to bed about 2300
but couldn't sleep for long time because of 2 cups
of coffee. I had an Alpha Helix during short party
which Alan Wilson served - a dessert made out of
starch gel & mandarin oranges.
Aug. 10
Feel a bit weaker to day. Stuffed the Pteropus.
