the trees quite clearly her offspring but it vanished before we got near. The rain must have been thick as this tree here and continued thru the forest descended toward the creek. Here we met the apes again & I shot an old g & a dark grown gg before they fled. The stomach of all 3 apes contained only green leaf pulp and no seeds or berries. In the evening I drank & watched for squirrels near the village & finally saw one of the giant flying squirrel & sailed down across an open meadow & alight at the base of a large tree. I shot it in the clear light & shot it, as it flew or failed it looked much like a gliding pheasant with its long tail streaming out behind. A hunt trapper came with a bow & returned with 28 giant reptiles somewhat like the species he collected at Yanping.
