(191) age. Small species that grow on sparsely-leared trees is their food. Small birds, as expected, are similar to Ferguson I., and new species are the only addi- tions of interest. Teora took a small cuckoo, previous- ly registered from Bougainville, or like it. The call is a low, sweet whistle, repeated several times. Another tawny owl was added. Snakes of two species have been brought in and one young phalanger to-day. Insects, I am able to do little with except to pick up a few in cursory fash- ion. Birds keep us pretty busy. Our collection will not be complete, as we always tried for in the other groups visited. Our food is running short and we hunters are in our last ragged shoes. Nov-18. Saturday and another clear day. To-morrow when I plan to camp it will rain like hell, prob- ably. I tried to make some color sketches, with poor result. I'm going stale. Nov-19-23 David and I went into camp with a fine, clear sky and good weather continued through the week. We camped at 1900 feet in the same site used by the Brothers Eichorn four or five years ago, as far as I can make out from the natives. They stayed six weeks, collecting birds and butterflies.
