An almost final count & of plant collections for the camp gives 186 numbers (including cellular cryptograms) and 827 sheets of specimens. It could have been better.. The flora is not rich. Insect collection has been poor; very little any night from the light trap; hardly any butterflies ; best result in damselflies; only one dragonfly caught. There is not enough open habitat for butterflies and Odonate. Frogs, with 7-8 spp. have turned up fairly well. Few lizards (perhaps 2 skink and 1 gecko spp.); no snakes. A small eel from the little stream to the SSW. Was getting anxious about carriers when a call came from down the trail. By dark 32 carriers (by report). four councillors and 2 V.C's dragged into camp. Lionel had given them rice to eat on the way. One man brought the biggest beetle I have seen. A longicornmassively built: 8 m. in body length, 28.5 m. in total length. Mammals collected at this camp: Melomys, a Phascogale, Hydromys, Rattus, Nyctimene, Dobsonia, Pogonomys, Petaurus fed in trees at camp but not shot. Signs of what must have been Dactylopsila or Dactylonax were found. Total specimens: 46. Saturday May 12: Left Pabinama Camp between 7 and 7:30 (I'm still without a watch). Stayed behind the carriers and collected from about the 750 m. level to the Lebedowa River, where I had lunch. Reached Wakaiuna Camp at 3:45 with a good lot of plants new to the collection. At least one species of oak abundant and reaching large size in mixed rain forest between about 1200 and 1000 feet. Characteristic coppice growth observed; also prominently lenticellate bark; only flowers seen; no acorns seen on trees or ground . I missed these big oaks on the way up. A spindly woody undergrowthand an abundance of a coarse Selaginella and some few coarse ferns on the ground give a suggestion of mid-mountain forest. But this is mixed forest; a transition between rain forest and mid-mountain; not a forest of oaks and Castanopsis. The latter not seen. This forest noticeably dryer than the rain forest above it and below it. Some immense trees of unknown identity on the slopes above the oaks. Below the site of Ballantyne's old camp, on the drop down to the Lebedowa at about 700-300 feet, found a great breadfruit tree (Artocarpus) in tall, apparently primary rain forest. Very prominently flange buttressed; could not see any fruits. A very tall but much younger tree of the species a hundred yards or so down the slope. Saved a leaf. Previously I had the idea that the breadfruit of New Guinea was always planted by natives. Ballantyne's mining boys were the only native population I know of in the area. The big breadfruit tree was old for a rain forest tree. Between about 2000 and 1500 feet heard and watched a solitary male Paradiseea decorata in a tall tree. Apparently quite alone. Noticeably smaller than the red bird of the mainland. The two wire feathers and others of the tail much curved out to the sides as the bird sat erect, uttering frequent calls, on a branch well down from the top of the tree. The mountain much drier then when we went up two weeks ago. Izod says little rain has fallen at Wakaiuna (it is spelled Waikaiuna on the map; local pronunciation is Wakaiuna.) Lionel failed in an effort to collect the wallaby which inhabits the grasslands. Very energetically, on Thursday he went up to Sewa Bay and crossed the island to Sewataital Bay. Spent that night at the plantation. Next morning hunted on the grass- lands to the south. Saw wallaby signs (few) but none of the animals. Shot a weaner calf, of which we ate chops tonight. Described the open country as on basalt such as occurs in the cattle country of North Queensland; slopes go up steeply to 3000-ft. Bwebweso. Says a stunted broad-leaved teatree grows on the grassland; quantities of
