in the morning we arose at 5:30 after the dark had just passed and went open beside a large camp fire. The stars were shining brightly. On the N.W. Orion was just setting to the Northward and I high in the sky being the great bear with the two pointers indicating the polar star which was just visible above the fringe of pines on the hillside. Our catch at 7 o'clock consisted of 1 Mole, 3 Minettes, 6 Ramps (Small) 12 Apodernus (small), 4 A. Longtails, +1 A. (Giant). Then two latter species apparently cross the Yangtze River. Species of Hiching Pter, seems to cross the river which is below Barrer. 27 The camp has proved very windy, gusts of wind come from every direction at intervals all day today. A went out again today with the local hunters & their dogs in the wind made so much noise in the trees that the dog could not be heard. He got now nothing. The traps secured the same species as yesterday plus the long headed Sory. The animal which deserved so many mice with traps is the long tailed Apodernus, Apodernus caught in the same trap.
