Ash & 13 still has without effect
I saw the sun rise over where
we were going, headed for
the [illegible]
& held it until I came
to a hillside. It was a pair
of a wild heavy hard horn.
The other yesterday had
no hard horns projecting
beyond the short curved bases.
There was a white animal but
I got breeding to suppose.
In the early morning I
went with A to the same
place as far back right to hunt
for roroukaps. We were
fifty Macaques at the bridge
near the village & fired several
shots, I there did trap no one.
Later A shot a gy & serow
from the cliffs below the joint
when I saw something yet.
The serow was quite black &
dark darker than those
I have seen but this may be due
to a growth of spring pelage. The
stomach contained both grass
& leaves of bushes.
