photograph of the frogs, the eggs & the plant. After lunch we had
a fly out at a tree across the road that had another of the plants.
The knot or belt was broken in the fall but I caught the frog that
was in it. Rand later took in one or two others but found no
more frogs. I skinned the two white-tailed red white-footed
mice. June 2, 1933 seemed from the condition of the skeleton
& mamma to be fast breeding as the skeletons gave a large food supply, there were two "allowing" mammals.

I caught one & white-tailed red-white-footed mouse
& three white-footed mice. I made up the first mammal

decided to get its fruit. It had been ringed to kill.

I stopped at a open part of the trail to photograph C.E.
The mist was already rising & the clouds settling. At 9:40 I
arrived at the Soga rest house. I made one false mess at
finding the start of the nature track to the summit. The second
try was successful and then I had to call my dog three times
before he would come. The trail at first level and very distinct
indistinct was through tractiny bamboo some what oldish
