Inspecting the route to Hollandia from the Dandberg Pass and that the first ridge (1750m high) could be reached on my long day of travel. From this there is a good ridge leading westward across of the new lake. July 13 Hollandia, Netherlands New Guinea 392 traps - 0 Yesterday I brought in the traps (56) set on and about the cut on grassy area to the north of Hollandia. I do not recall having taken a single specimen from that trap since they were put out. Early the remainder of the Dyzek traps (172) was taken up. They had been set south of Hollandia about the base of the hills then stiffed in the rain forest also. These traps have yielded very little. Yesterday evening a Pipistrellus and a Phalanger was brought in by natives who had collecting for in the immediate vicinity. The gray Phalanger brought in from Mr. Ellis from Deigo died last night. A Rhinonycteris and two Doropsis were brought in. The day was spent in preparing specimens and making list for the return collecting. Little of interest happened about camp today. La Sala is being checked and cleaned, following the boat is being pre-shodled and collecting goes on much as usual. The name of the Dandberg camp is to be called Bernhard in honor of Rinkus Julian's husband. It was his birthday that the camp was founded.
