exceedingly rough as there were hidden logs as well as bambs
I went on I shot a Pseudochirus from a tree near the stream,
I did not feel for him but felt sure from the glow & size of
his eyes that he was a Pseudochirus. I went as far as the point
with Mr. Barshelter; On the way back I heard the same marks
cord me at the point but could not locate the Dacophs but I
heard him go with a single swoosh, by the god this was the
smallest in th bush by the road probably of some animal
making off

I returned in the morning to look for the animals and
last night as I guessed we were unable to find the
Dacophis one the other was a Pseudochirus & with
one young in the hand which was hidden after
during photographed with its adult. I got nothing
in the first trap and only two sets of which the
white tailed red white-footed mouse was the only one caught.
In the afternoon after finishing the map I developed a film
taken by Mr Brazza which came out good again at
dusk we had a little excitement during which Rand while
my eye on a night journey to the colation just previous
I shot one but he went down in the bambs so
I did not try to find it.
September 18 1935
The morning was partly cloudy up till 11:00
when it came on to rain which continued off and
on till sundown when it was cloudy & misty. Rand caught
in a trap at the junction of the old & new recent tree
a spotted marsupial cat, it had in its stomach what was
full a foot of a white-footed mouse several bird tongues.
a small shot which seems to point to towards a carrion eat,
when I came down back from my trap I sent Christmas after
the night jar which he promptly found. Some how or other
I managed to spent the entire afternoon skinny & making
up the maps. Shortly by 4:30 p.m. I went off shooting, I got a shot
at a snipe but missed. Shortly after another made by whist
me. They seem to have regular rates of flight.
