We got back to Mairure at about 1245. We
killed the Microphtalmus before stopping for lunch.
Skinned the M. & 1 H. galenitis from the Banup
cave. The Pteropus & Phelgyr inoculates which
came in handy (Baxter brought it by) on
Aug 12. Zinsfeld finally got back from Darn.
Vince & I worked through the frozen material
& got the brain material together including blood
samples. After dinner I finished the Phelgyrs &
skinned 2 of the animals that Zinsfeld brought back.
Packed up [illegible] one of the collecting sheets
with specimens for putting aboard the ship tomorrow.

Vince & I left right after breakfast to go
back to Banup. (~1/2 mi, S of the Yaganum Hospital).
We went 1/2 mi. beyond Banup to the home of a fellow
who helped us yesterday. He took us down behind
his house to a large cave. We walked a long way
into it wit left on going. We saw quite a few
bats but we didn't bring a wrist bat. I shot two
w/.38 dart : 1 Hippusidrus calcaratus & 1 H. galenitis. We
thought maybe we would come back & get a wrist bat
over the entrance. Then we followed Griffin's directions
to a tunnel cave off the main road to Omure,
just a short distance past the turnoff to the Yaganum
Hospital. It is to the N of the road & a stream flows
through it. This cave we are calling Tunnel Cave,
