six males and pig went by according to [illegible] boy - Soldiers saw none of these according to Huls, though must have passed within 200 yards of camp. Strange this business of locals ignoring us. Teerink wants to patrol Grand Valley - according to rdadio - so have asked R.A. when he will return here. August 12, 1938. Fog early, clear later - fine and warm. Into forest across bay. Psittacella brehmi and P. picta feeding in a taxad; flushed a Rallicula from grassy glades flew into forest (not coll- ected yet) a few yards - fired at a Cacomantis flying over - shape and white streak in wings very conspicuous. This, I think, enables me to place a call that has been puzzling me - a trill that recalls that of Syma but richer - found a new Bird of Paradise nest - probably eggs in it. Huls and Tox up to explore camp site we picked out from ridge. Their find- ings strange compared with our view of country through glasses - left at 6.30 - return about 5.30 - a long hard day. August 13, 1938. Fog early - clear and warm - rain and hail late PM and evening. I went up ridge to north to pick out camp sites to north and to south. I am sure Tox made a mistake about where they've been or the altitude - as bad as his new lake fifteen minutes away from here. Saw the plane come in from north, circle camp and drop mail - then away to Over east. [illegible] radio RA reported landing probably possible on river - one day below where Teerink is - van Arken at meeting place and Teerink 15 km NE. Successful deliveries to them - the position of Teerink something to do with better delivery place. RA reported many landing places one day lower in river - but snags and bends perhaps make it advisable Teerink to investigate before returning here. RA says river flows through gorge to southern plains; ie it really goes to the southwest.
