August 1st - 28th 1929 August 1st we left our camp in the forest 20 Kms. West of Vondrozo and went to Ivohibe on August 3rd Greenway left with the car full of birds & mammals that were obtained at the "Place Verte". The next morning Rand left for the forest and I remained behind as there wasn't enough men for the villages and our baggage. The natives began bringing in birds & mammals in such quantities that I was soon swamped so on Tuesday, th 6th I succeeded in getting a guide and one bourgome I walked over to Rand camp at the little village of Ankarena with its birds. The forest through which I passed was the most beautiful I have yet seen in Madagascar, the trees were widely spaced than in the forest of Gondana, near Vondrozo) and there were thick green vines clinging to half the length of the trunk, which were tall and straight. I found that the natives that had given raw plenty to do. On the 10th I got two Bourgeois and went over to Ankarena. Just before left I received a letter from Greenway saying that the front wheel had come off between Ivohibe and Ihozy and that it would be.
