(192) In the four days David and I put in we did not have much success. The terrain is typically steep and rocky, the only trail broken for us by the natives up creek bottoms and sheer razorback ridges. There were a very interesting variety of small birds - a small sort of thickhead, a midget parrot, a green sharp- tail finch (I surmise), a warbler, and two species of white-eyes. Of these, excepting the so-called thick- head and the white-bellied white-eye, and the warbler (of which we got only three), one representative is all we can show. The more common white-eye had an unusual iris - a pale white, instead of the usual light brown. All the other species had the typical Van Dyke brown - even the little parrot. One yellow- bird done in a new variation was included in David's bag. He got most of the single specimens - a truly wonderful hunter. A black honeycreeper in various int- eresting plumages is another addition. Invariably we found the small birds in the tops of the trees. I lost a good many. And considering their scarcity, collect- ing was most discouraging. I would go for hours without getting a bird. Of the lower altitude species, the magpie and the big, blue "buli-buli" - half-caste paradise bird are common right up to 7000 feet, the highest point reached. The thickhead and small, yellow-eared olive-bird are similarly
