mileage readings on the way back.
1810 hrs Arrived back in Tiliran. We have rented a room
for three people for $ 91.00! This has to be the cheapest ever.
The room is very small, with 4 beds + the bathroom is down
the hall but it's clean and the car is parked in the hotel
parking area. We have brought up our personal gear, liquid
N2 tank but have left the collecting equipment in the
VW Bus.
2030 hrs Returned to hotel after eating. We may stay here
another night if we catch Heteronys in the morning, I
hope we do!
23 July (Friday)
0645 hrs Woke up after a comparatively sound night & sleep at
0500 us to someone banging on a door down the hall.
0710h We all dressed and prepared to leave for first trapping
locality.
0750 hr. I collected 2 Heteronys (young adult ??) out of
my 40 traps! These are very good catchers. Probably the only
sample I will obtain from the northwestern area of the country!
Ed returned and had caught 1 Heterony. Phil came back with
6 Heteronys and 1 O. alferoi! Based on this success we will
stay here another night and try to get a big series of Heteronys
from this area.
0845 hrs Returnel from checking forty traps with nothing. 30 of
these were set in a patch of forest that was secondary growth
ca. 15-20 years except for a few big trees. 10-traps set
