103 Weather clear and fine on the coast. An analysis of my Lake Habbema plant collection shows that about 350 flowering plants are represented, or with bryophytes and lichens, about 400 [illegible] species. Temperature in the tent at 8 PM, after burning a lamp in it all day, 49 degrees F., which is about average for the hour. Monday, September 26, 1938. It was raining when I awoke at 6 AM, cleared off a little later to give a view of the peak with snow down to 4250 m. and by nine o'clock mists were driving along the ground again and rain. [illegible] A break occurred at about 3 o'clock, but mist and showers continued and at eight o'clock rain is beating on the tent and mist sweeping up the valley. Tired of the inactivity enforced by the weather, Richardson and I decided to go out and get wet. So, without boys, we climbed up to the lake at 4150 m. under the N. wall of the peak. Travelling in constant mist and rain we left camp at nine and returned at 12.15. Collected a number of bryophytes on the rocks and saw enough to convince me that my plant collections are pretty well complete. Tuesday, September 27, 1938. Rain falling at 6 AM and gusts of wind shaking the tent. For a while the weather looked doubtful. I thought of the gales [illegible] experienced on the high mountains of SE New Guinea. But by 7 o'clock the sun came out and there followed a pleasantly fine day. A good deal of scattered cloud about (SE) but the peak, except for short disappearances, clear to 5 PM. At that hour the mists closed down on camp and rain commenced. Still raining intermittently at 8.30.
