Thursday, December 1, 1938. Fine bright morning: afternoon overcast and a little rain. A Guinea Airways Stinson seaplane at Hollandia to take spare parts to Lae to be flown down to the Guba at Melbourne by the regular weekly service. Teerink was to have left the Balim this morning on his return with the carriers. Balim radio transmitter still out of action. Friday, December 2, 1938. Another fine bright morning: afternoon overcast but no rain. Guinea Airways Stinson left Hollandia with spare parts for the Guba at 7.30 AM. Completed my collections from this locality by gathering a few things about camp this morning. Yield for the camp about 450 spp.: 50 spp. under my estimate. Saturday, December 3, 1938. Fine morning: rain most of afternoon (light rain). Teerink arrived from the Balim with the carriers at 10.30 in the morning. Sunday, December 4, 1938. Rather cloudy morning: heavy rain from a thunderstorm commencing at 12.30 PM: afternoon dull and drizzling: river high. Labelling specimens and packing loads ready for departure for the Balim tomorrow. Natives have brought in several finely worked pieces of body armour made of rattan during last two days.
