LIDICKER 1969 Aug. 10 cont. Skinned least night. Then skinned a broad-cowrt that was alive in a cage when I first arrived in Mairon. I had 2 ly. hand eggs which died at different ages & were frozen (#3122). Then a beautiful specimen of Murexia arrived from Wanwe & I skinned that too. The group from Wonk returned early in the morning although Gai & Tom Melway continued on the same plane with Jon Athguist & Robin Bauer who were on their way to Daru, at the mouth of the Fly River. On the afternoon I decked gear for going to Hagen tomorrow, rested, wrote 2 letters, & skinned 1 of yesterday's H. calcaratus. After dinner skinned 2 Rattus collected earlier by R. Bauer from the Tambul area (3127+ 3128). Noted that both females had very long clitoris & ugly anal glands. Looked through bats collected by Wonk group & found 1 E. ballomura which I also skinned (#3129). Then were also lots of Parapteryx - the collection of 2 H. boodenden bialina which were tan rather than grey in color. Finished packing & want to bed ~2230. Aug 11 Up at 0530. Andy Ferguson, Dick Zweifel & I took the Toyota into the airstrip. Arrived ~ 0640. Andy & I got on a 0700 flight to Mt. Hagen. Zweifel was taking a later flight to Pt. Moresby & then on to Daru. Arrived Mt. Hagen ~ 0800. Billy
