Gala with crew Archibald Phythian,
Fossi cook boy, Archibald boy specimens,
and part of the group, etc left this
morning for Gallandia.
At transport, the first, with
Bruce, Foss and 30+ canoes, and
soldiers went to establish the 2800 metre

It appears today in spite of the good
weather for Sample they are still interested
in the construction of the lower camp.
Hope they prove useful in bringing in
specimens.

This morning Gala came in bringing Fowler,

They were good interest in camp and its working. They
inspected the camp, had tea and returned. Fortunately
today was ideal for their visit, the best

At 12.45 left Habena for the
camp arriving here about 3.30. The trail
is NE of Habena up a ridge from the
grassy valley and down into the forest.
