May 28, 1933 I had no luck with the traps. I shot two nut- patches off of a fairly large broad tree thus probably were six or more in the tree the rest got away as I had some difficulty in finding some of the two and the other two fell into a pandanus from what I had to shoot. I spent the rest of the morning writing notes and in a start on a letter to Mother. in the afternoon I took some pictures around camp and developed the role. I went out shooting after tea 4:00 P.M. and went considerable distance the other side of the gade. I shot a pigeon, and several other small birds. May 29, 1933 I caught only one white footed mouse in the heighest trap by the unfinished bower rich danceground so I picked up all my traps and moved them to the hill below camp. The forest there is less mossy, less steep and the trees are larger. A native trap is a Pseudocheir the same sp. as before. May 30, 1933 I caught seven Whitefooted mice four of which were so damaged by the traps that I did not save them. I spent the rest of the day skinning them. We had our last rain sooner until Adamson brings some more rain. May 31, 1933 I caught three mammals: a White-tailed red white-footed mouse, a whitefooted mouse, and a new sp. which I called Black-brown mouse. It was some what badly damaged and I made it worse by smearing a mess of the tail. Brass took some dead and I made some pancakes for lunch which were a great success judging from the way they were eaten. A number of Orang women brought in some "Kreind" (Yulotus) they served rather shy. June 1, 1933 I caught two "white-tailed red white-footed" mice and three "white-footed" mice. Shortly before lunch I took Hardy up on the hill to show him some Knobs that I thought might have been birds nests. I climbed the tree & cut them down we brought them back to camp and Brass said they are Hydrophyllum (Botanical specimen No 4093). I cut into it looking for ants as Brass had previously said that the knobs held ants. I found a frog and its eggs (which were put into formalin) and some white. While I took several!
