197 more traps, 190 net traps, 23 stick traps -
8 Sternsya, 2 Rattas, 1 Enderichina. The skull
of the Enderichina was brought in yesterday
by Dr Hard.
This morning I prepared specimens. This
afternoon I went across the bay of the lake
and into the margin forest thru the

forest itself should yield things new

This evening I went out hunting with
flashlight. With the paws we followed along
the eastern bay shore and north east side

and
one Sternsya along the land side. It was
a clear cold night with stern coming off.
I did not see full moon shine, but it is not

of hunting.
