Hunting below camp; two pairs of -?- -?- and one Sericornis nuyhuysi and one Charmoyna, always silent. Toxopeus up and Doctor down tomorrow. Toxopeus camera doesn't work except at 1/100. January 20th. Didn't see Idenburg all day. In AM clear here and ridge so but clouds filling valleys--went mid AM. Rain PM and hard rain tonight--a little wind. Thunder and lightning tonight but not around here. Doctor left for Idenburg 7 AM. B.L. left for 2150 m. 10 AM instead of 8 AM. he'd planned. Left his packing until this AM. Now only three of us and Teerink. His tent leaked in rain of last night, dried out more or less today and is leaking again tongith. Have requested one more 9 x 9 tent for him, the one from Habbema. Birds along track, a pair of Myrminetta, ♀ and ♂, one head down and one head up, clinging to top of dead stump, 5 or 10 meters. Examined stomach contents and put in pickle. January 31st. Mist in camp at daylight--ready and about 8 AM started for 2150 meter camp. Travelled slowly--at 2150 m. about 12.30. Sun here and a small view, soon in clouds, but this is near top of cloud belt here and even when enclosed in mist the haze above is usually so thin that the sun beats down hot through it. Part of the last 1/4 mile of track, climbing at 70-80 degrees through and under the roots of the trees is like a tunnel for 20 yards. Big roots and stems clamber up, with big roots heavily moss covered, overhead.
