Toxopeus and Huls walked to the top of the Grand Valley divide (3500 m.) in the hope of seeing the parachute delivery. The plane was heard but not seen. Sunday, August 7, 1938. Had an easy morning in the field, sorted out mosses and hepatics in the afternoon, and stayed up till 12.30 developing field camera pictures. A message from Teerink to the effect that all parachute loads but that containing fuel and oil for his radio engine were found yesterday. He will therefore be obliged to curtail his radio contacts and will not be on the air again until the 13th, the day before the parachute deliv- ery at his meeting place with van Arcken in the Grand Valley. Monday, August 8, 1938. Toxopeus, Huls and self went up on to the ridges forming the Grand Valley divide to collect a very fine white Rhododendron (#9271) seen by Huls while on patrol some few days ago. During the morning I gathered eight more spp. or forms of this, in the locality, very variable genus. I must have thirteen good species to date. I have lost count of varieties and minor forms. The day was cloudy, but from several parts of the divide which rises to perhaps 3500 m., we had glimpses of the wide cultivated lands of the Grand Valley. From one point, nearly N. of camp, we looked down into a narrow branch valley carrying a heavy population which could be reached in one day from our lake camp (Bele River). Tuesday, August 9, 1938. Since the 4th the weather has been cloudy and unsettled with showers
