part of the cliff section not previously stayed
in, and continue along the lower SW
edge of the camp valley for about 1/2 the
distance of the wally and then it goes
up the hill slope for 50 - 100 m.
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. HC Willminatus, Netherland, New Guinea 3560m.
151 net traps, 212 mouse traps, 20 stick traps -
1 Peromyscus, 1 Pogonomyx, 1 Rattus, 17 Stenonmys
(4 dead) The Pleurocyel was captured yesterday by
one of my collecting boys.
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. HC Willminatus, Netherland, New Guinea: 3560m.
151 net traps, 212 mouse traps, 20 stick traps -
1 Peromyscus, 1 Pogonomyx, 1 Pleurocyel,
1 Cardinomys, 9 Stenonmys (4 dead).
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.
