Maravoy the sept was about that of Lemus catta though she said that it was yours as she had gotten it when it was very small six months ago. Its color was on a whole a brown the shade I can't just say and the most striking mark, in fact the only one was a black band between the eyes which bifurcated on the forehead. It was very affectionate to the wife of the man but he would not let anyone else touch him. Nov. 9, 1929 We took a trip in a frogue we went up the Maravoy River for a short time, and then we took the canal that went over to the Betsifoka River. About a 4:30 p.m. out of Maravoy a luron flew out of some bushes and hit in a bush near the river, I shot him. It was a small luron and apparently showed no fear. On the canal I shot a flover, and two solus that were sitting in a tree. En route I noticed a bunch of six foundia nest but did not collect any and did not see any birds near the insects. I in the afternoon I skinned. The weather continued fine but very hot.
