Mayunga 39 Mon. we parted at about 2:30 Dr. White going to Diego Suarez. November 19 through 21st 1929 My time has dragged along. I have been waiting for Mr Pett, who has a boat to sail, to get his boat in running order. One thing after another turns up that has to be fixed. I doubt if I will try November 22 of 1929 Still waiting for the boat to be fitted fipped nothing else of interest. November 23rd 1929 Mr Pett took me in to his place to show him some "Orchis" that he had. He said that he was going to make up for the opposition in Paris. He had about fifty all small. He had also two Lemurs of the same species as the one of the Chef de Province of Marony, the older one a ? who was very affectionate, but it was some what wild still having just been got by. Apparently the ? of the species has only the black trifuricated band on the forehead while the ? has a patch.
