This morning a transport came in from Kellom with food and supplies. I had my 34 net traps which were set at camp to send tomorrow to the camp above. Sept 15 2pm.

The day spent in studying traps, speaking specimens, and taking care of the dry material. At noon Meyr Dues returned from the (Tissou) Bittum camp with his two days of botanical collection. A transport went up to the camp above this morning and returned with a note from Bird saying Archfield is on the march and will not come down until after the 16th. Sept 14 2pm.

The morning studied traps and prepared specimens. This afternoon sent the mouse traps (189) from the camp NE of camp to the NE side of the camp valley. That is in the open forest slope of the wally. There are many small ravines through the moss and grass of the forest underbrush and it is in these that most of the traps are set.
