LIDICKER 1969 Aug. 24 Checked maps (N 2 1/2 mi. N of Mainline = 11 1/2 N of Makong); camper working. Picked up a small hybrid then thought it best to keep going. Took a few photos at the Vince & D left to make another attempt to get to Bili Bili Island. We turned E on main road while left main Rd. to Omum about 1 mi. S of the Sum River where there is a trade store. This road took me to the coast & the village of Bil Bil which is just opposite the island. We talked to 3 different men in the village & they all agreed it would be difficult to get to the island without an outboard motor boat. They had only one iron canoe & it was pretty rough build. Also 3 different answers on how many cars there were on the island & whether or not they contained bats. One said there was 1 cane, another agreed with our information that there were 2, & the third said there were 3. Also two claimed bats were absent at this time of year (usually present at other times) & the third said there were bats present. I don't think they go over there very often. So we went back to the main road & continued S to Bannp. We went to the S. Bannp Cove & placed a mist net over the entrance. While we were working a Colilichin flew into the net from the outside. Then we returned to Mainline late for lunch. After- wards we took a number of pictures of the group. Zuric Drennan, Copper, & Tom Dobble were leaving
