May 22 1935 caught one White footed mouse and about three another brought in another Maloney's which I was again unable to finish the rest of the day was spent in making working on the handle of my knife. May 23 1933 Caught one white footed mouse and meowe shot a Peramelas whose stomach contained undi- ermined vegetable matter. I developed extra roll of film that was in my camera as I had found and finished the handle of the knife the picture turned out fine. About four a native came by with the report that Mr Brass would arrive next day. May 24 1933 I caught two D & F White footed mice and sent back down immediately and went along to the large clearing to meet Brass I waited sometime and as he did not show up I started back but his porters came after him. I had gone very far as I stopped to shoot a bird that I could not fly. I met him with the male Blue, just the other side of the clearing. during the afternoon a native brought in first a large brown Phalanger and after gave him a knife for it and another some face plant to what out and returned with a young one which he indicated went with the? about a half hour they brought in two more D's & a golden brown Phalangers that I do not recognize. I got all but one skinned off did not clear and one of the mice with the help of Mr Brass. May 25 1933 I went with Mr Brass to the top of the first hill earlier returned as I wanted to finish the Phalanger's I caught a marguay in my trap which I do not know what it is it had insects in its stomach very fine cleared.
