The Solo hunter brought in another old B Seron which he recovered from a cliff by letting a man down on a rope. This one had brown explite the first had a white wave while the second B had cream legs & only a trace of white in the wave. These color differences are used as social aff cherules but they are merely individual, The stomach of this one contained chiefly whit & gray beard lichen with only a feew leaves thrups. I caught in the tropo Today another Spuggy Sorey which had its shoul broken like others, There was also a small slaty or large headed Sorey in one of the tropps. Rev. Kirk held us Spuggy hunter is an independent Solo who lives with a few family on the mountain 12,000 feet where they live solely by hunting. They have asked the local Moro chief to for permission to live there but he has not yet granted it as they are outcasts from their own century
