Sept.2 Lake Kallima, Netherlands New Guinea 3225m.
9 sticky traps - 0 birds.
The morning the Yula arrived with
2700 lb of mun, gun, and food for the military
party (see page 39a) Specimens were returned
to Hollandia. Afternoon spent on the
Lake with Reed looking for white winged
ducks. Vonken (50 ±) was seen but we
walked to get away from it.
Sept.3 Lake Kallima, Netherlands New Guinea 3225m.
9 sticky traps - 1 Pseudochirons.
The unsettled weather prevented the
Yula from making its trips to Kallima
today. Heavy clouds this morning and
the sky had intermittent storms.
I found equipment, developed pictures
today. Most of the time however was
spent in 'piddling'.
Sept.4 Lake Kallima, Netherlands New Guinea 3225 m.
9 sticky traps - 0
The morning the Yula came in with
its provisions and gun for the American party.
The presence of the planes in camp
is certainly stimulating not only to the Congress
& all the other members of the expedition
Intarian and chapellon need a vacation
at this time.
A short observation trip (3 1/4 hrs) was
taken over the vicinity of Willemine.
B.D. wanted to look for a suitable
route of ascent of the mt. With a party
(10 ±)
as large as we have an easy ascent
will be essential. The best and most
logical route at present seems to be
along the west ridge. The mt appears
to be smooth or scree rather than
rock climb which I had expected.
Yula left for Hollandia soon after.
