June 19, 1929—In camp 70 kilometers west of Vondrago
arrived here June 17th in all there has been collected
family Nycticolidae sub-family Lemurinae
10 specimens of [illegible] and of which 9
belong to the genus "Lemur" and the remaining is
Myocbus once?—all are very fat. I have caught
2 specimens of fossa fossa carnivores belonging to
Viverridae sub-family viverninae being either "fossa fossa"
"viverricula malacensis" I call them "fossa fossa.
On the 12th around the anus there was a lot of white
globules which when cut with scisors excreted a yellowish
liquid; I did not notice any about the globules
circled the anus except on the ventral side. The globules
were so small and covered with fat. There was exceedingly
fat; He had pulled out of one trap (Molly's jump) that was
held by the second trap she was somewhat nervous
when approached. I shall not seem to be scare
or at least wary.
