the Balim radio transmitter is out of action. November 23, 1938. Generally cloudy: spells of bright sun in forenoon: slight sprinkle in afternoon. Teerink was to have started on his return from the Balim this morning, but in the absence of radio communication with that camp, we can only assume that he did. Guba arrived in Sydney yesterday: ten hours flight, from Par Moresy Spent a pleasant morning in the forests about the upper gardens on camp side of the valley, and made a number of photographs which I developed in the evening. The topmost garden seen was at an altitude of 2480 m. - a sizeable clear- ing completely enclosed by tall primary forest. Thursday, November 24, 1938. Day generally cloudy: thunderstorm down river in afternoon and light rain in camp. Spent the day in camp, labelling specimens, etc. Friday, November 25, 1938. Return to fairly clear weather in morning and heavy rains, accompanied by thunder in afternoon. Teerink and Toxopeus arrived about 10.30 from the Balim and report all well. Journey three days, or about 18 hours travel. Huls, Althoff, five soldiers, two convicts and a Dyak comprise the party left at the Balim.
