172 Teerink and Schroeder here tonight. Tomorrow they are going up to Toxopeus' Sigi River camp. Carriers also going to Sigi in the morning to bring back Tox and Van Arcken. News of the victory and the end of the Spanish Civil War. The Loyalists in this particular case are Communists; the rebels are right-wingers of royalist tenden- cies, supported by the papacy and led by Franco. February 28th. Dull weather: mist most of morning: little sun in afternoon: no rain. Teerink, Schroeder, their personal convicts and escort and 13 carriers for Toxo- peus and Van Arcken left for the Sigi after breakfast. Collected up the main track to 1450 m., where the forest begins to diminish in height and there is a certain amount of moss on the ground and, the first indi- cation of one's approach to the mossy-forest, great beds of matted roots lying abo above the soil. Getting fewer species now in a morning, but have more material than can be accomodated in seven ovens. Versteegh getting a good collection of trees.
