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 September 17 1933 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.
