General Account
Everything between the bed and grassy valley.
The spurs continue in a northealy direction for
about 3 kilometers when it joins with the main
ridge which extends east south east to the Broad
valley. From the height of this ridge I could
see the Broad Valley and on 1st the upper
tributary valleys. The closest settlement was about
4 miles distant air line. A group of 2 or 3 houses
could be seen and gardens with its crop rows.
At the top of the ridge there is a trail leading

Aug. 4 Lake Habena, Netherlands New Guinea
197 mona traps, 197 net traps, 1 stick traps.
8 Stenomya, 1 Rattus, 1 Hydromyza, 2 Labe.
This morning I prepared specimens.
The afternoon was spent on my caught orients,
Endornicia and Pandorina. This day has been
a difficult one for collecting, few specimens and
much rising unpleasant weather.
Aug. 5 Lake Habena, Netherlands New Guinea
197 mona traps, 197 net traps, 1 stick traps.
6 Stenomya, 1 Rattus, 1 Phasocoryza, 1 Hydromyza.
The Endornicia was brought in several days ago (as some note).
This morning I attended traps and prepared
specimens as usual. This afternoon I changed a lot of
traps the 100 (95 kind) which were set on the ridge south south
west of camp to the region south south east of camp. The line
begin at the head of the grassy valley (west north west)
through the light open forested region, into a hillside
grassy slope, along border of grassy slopes and brush,
in low brush and many ridges, through a dense
