the drab or dusky fan-tail + a small yellow + green one seen everywhere along the road- side. I also shot a Malachite blue species. We made camp at dark for down the mountain on the edge of the very - large plain. 2000 beyond was the hilly, of Bah - tzu - tzai. The camp was situated on the edge of a fine clear stream surrounded by a growth of large bamboo fig trees + others of tropical character. One of the figs was a tall white barked tree bearing reddish figs in bunches, some of which were lying ripe on the ground. Another species had large rough blackbark with spreading limbs, narrow elliptical leaves + fig stems of large size 3 inches across growing from the main trunk or short sprouts. 16 The night was clear + calm without frost but pleasantly cool. No mammals except a house rat were caught here..
