April 10, 1935 I caught 4 mammals (Sets 7, 11, 14, 21) two new to the collection. April 11, 1935 no notes for the major Adamson came in about noon having had hard luck in finding his mule and moderate luck in getting boys to get three and a promise of 30 deer from another. April 12, 1935 I developed film no. XXVI (26) taken at Baroka Nos. 30-35 inc. an overview of main ranges from Adamsons going with Bisto - Arui swamp 34, 37; young Pittas Board cat. No.: 1st 38 catch not sid 39, 40 sunsets on misty morning 42 for Coconut tree in swamp bird set 17, 20, 21; Nos 43, 44, 45 track of Bird of Paradise Board cat. No.: 1, 47 shaving party (water), 2, 3, 4 seconds between trip sets 15 & 16, 59 for Coconut swamp 8+ 9 tree later or just the fallen, 12+13 in coconut swamp. After Belchford I picked up trip No.: 17 5 mammals all over in forest or on the edge of the woods only two were fit to make up. I spent half on how at the Bapo the rest of the day was spent in hacking for the mountain trip. April 13, 1935 After some battle we got along about eight I tried to photo informally to Adamsons first was found to be lame or fatigued as he would not ride mule. We left Bisto about mid day thirty or a little after and had an extra woman trip down the river. The promised porters show up but would only go as far as Matalo and wanted such a high price that we decided could not secure them. We also found that the Monaro is not coming in until Sunday so our will have to wait for her.
