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.
