their food arrives they will move to a valley farther west and attempt the western side, where three ridges offer some possibility of a route. A convoy of four carriers came up from the 3560 m. camp and returned. Rain or shine, these poor devils make the trip every day. Treatment such as this probably accounts for the trail of bones left by other expeditions in Dutch New Guinea. Saturday, September 24, 1938. Fine clear morning with a little frost: clouds closed over peak at 9 AM and by 10 o'clock the mists were down to camp level and intermittent rain commenced. The carriers, four Dyaks and two prisoners, in charge of two soldiers, returned to the S. Mt. Wilhelmina Camp. Rand wrote by the returning soldiers that they were moving off through heavy mist to establish a new camp to the west. Huls came up from 3560 m. camp and returned. Ebeli, who is employed as radio operator and collector at Habbema, has sent his resignation to Archbold. Collected on the grassy heights NW of camp up to 4130 m. alt. From the steep edge of this irregular plateau fine views are had of the Tusschen Camp Valley, Lake Habbema and a westward extension of the Nassau Range. Gathered a number of marine fossils in a bed of grey mudstone outcropping on the plateau and dipping at a sharp angle to the south. Sunday, September 25, 1938. Rainy, misty day breaking about sundown and the stars shining in the evening. No field work except by Richardson who had to attend his trap lines. Wrote letters and tried to dry an accumulation of wet clothes over a lamp in the tent. A convoy up from the 3560 m. camp in spite of the rain.
