162 February 1st. Moved up to the 2150 m. camp with 10 carriers. Myself anf boys did the journey in 1 1/2 hours, the carriers 2 1/2 hours. We are calling the distance 3 kms. and the direction from the 1800 m. camp is 3W. The morning being fairly clear, the view over the ranges of the Upper Idenburg was good. Camp is situated on the point of a very narrow wind-swept bluff rising almost sheer for 100 m. on the main line of the ridge on which both camps are situated. That 100 m. is a very hard scramble for a carrier, though in most places there are trees and roots which offer holds for feet and hands. In one place one drags oneself up a lawyer vine tied to a tree. The track in most places is a pure tunnel cut in the mossy-forest, which becomes more stunted, open and mossy as one ascends. On the point of the bluff the forest degenerates to an impenetrable tough scrub of Xanthomyrtus, Vaccinium, Ropanca and sama, the latter, under more favorable conditions a big forest dominant, but here flowering as a scrub no more than 2 m. high. A little below the camp the path skirts the end of a steep rock-slide, covered with Lycopodium, Gleichenia and Dipteris, and over quite half of its area a dark green moss and a white "reindeer" moss. A whipstick rhododendron tree with small red bell flowers and a Eurya of similar habit are scattered over the slip, and at the lower end Trema is reestablishing forest conditions. Left Teerink at the 1800 m. camp. Toxopeus still at his waterfall camp at 1530 m. on the slope below. A transport of 13 Dyaks left 1800 m. camp for Tusschen Camp and the Idenburg, carrying specimens and surplus supplies. Find Rand much improved in health and the European section of camp being shifted from its original position on the point of the bluff down to a more sheltered place occupied by the preparation and drying flies and native quarters.
