8) This morning I visited Mr. Damardale, director of the Museum. He had just returned from Paris, which he where he has been studying aquatic forms. He is specially interest in mollusca. He said all the mammals in exhibit were 70 years old & should be replac'd. Very little new mammal material is in the museum; He has very few funds for works & the staff is small & devotes all its time to research. There is no money donated by wealthy Britishers or native princes. 9) It has rained most of the day. At the hotel I met 2 Burma Oil Co. company men on their way to Shillong, a hill station of the capital of Assam now the Government at 5000 M. altitude
