Altitude and correction figures taken from the "Hints to Travelers" of the Royal Geographical Society—Second Edition. Readings were made about 8:00 P.M. I caught another Fossa fossa; like the other others, the one was scared at once to charge when I approached. His stomach was full; the greater portion front was unrecognizable but there was one lizard and I suspect they were long about 1 inches long and fairly long narrow. The back looked like the under surface of a snake. There are numerous feet and the color was yellowish. The cook said that if he walked on you, that he would make sure where he stepped somewhat. I did for look at central. I saw one Lemur in the evening as I was setting traps. It attracted my attention by his roughing bark. He was traveling down hill towards the edge of the forest. While Fossa fossa is No 126.
