February 2, 1939. Clouds low over mountain top inland and gray at 6 AM but 7.30 or so very clear - saw Mt. Wilhelmina. Clouds cover Idenburg plain below. Some sun here mid AM and then hot mist PM - late PM see Idenburg plain through mist - no clouds over it. Hunting up track to top this AM. Birds fairly common - more so than 1800 meter camp - both variety and individuals. My boy (also Marcus with rats) came up from 1500 m. with four birds (Eog, Toxorhamphus novaeguinea and Poecilodryas cryptoleuca) - no rats new to the collection from Marcus. When up nearly to top of track heard dog in trap 100 yards or so away in forest. By time I was ready to go over it had stopped and Dyaks reported it had escaped as they came up to trap. Cornelius, beyond, heard it running howling through the forest. February 3, 1939. Mist low on mountains at daylight and Idenburg plain covered in mist closed in here mid AM - later light rain and late PM Idenburg clear of clouds but rain - a little rain in evening. Hunting up track. Richardson note from Teerink that he and Beyzoni? leaving for Idenburg today - B's foot not so bad as might be. Plane plans returning February 7th now. February 4, 1939. Fairly clear inland today though clouds hid Wilhelmina - clouds over most of Idenburg. Some sun until nearly noon here - Mist and clouds PM - see
