above sun douhi's house, we are in a magnificent spruce forest on the slope of a hill above a stream at the entrance to a fine valley. At its upper end we discovered a great mass of gliderocks, almost crowded at the base of the hills. Here there are hundreds of brown comes and we have had great fun trapping them. The little fellows are very tame and often let us approach within 5 or ten feet. They sit on top of a rock absolutely motionless and when we too close dive off with a hilt. They make deep runways between the stones and it is only by putting traps in them that they can be caught for they pay little attention to bait.
