Dyaks who ran it down! Later in evening walking along trail flushed one from short grass slope - gave a short call as it weakly flew a few yards - shot it. Grouse. Boy picked up one - very emaciated - near Wamena - flushed two glass and brush area. Near Wamena - sitting in camp one flew across camp site.

Soldiers said when they arrived at sink hole one falcon flew out from ledge on which young was sitting. Before Toxopeus saw a pair before I arrived - today soldiers saw two after I left! I returned here - 4:30 or 5:00 or so - saw none. Psittacula picta. a pair feeding low in forest SE of Wamena. Cornelius came in about 3:30, apparently in good shape and spirits - with a Dyak I sent back carrying his load. A convict and four soldiers alone in this party - convict in rain - with arms straight as something didn't look happy. Tonight after eating his plate of rice Teerink gave thanks to the food- for what I can't imagine - his plate of rice - a dried fish! August 27, 1938. Fine all day - clouds obscuring summit periodically - very high even this evening. Five soldiers including native sergeant and two convict carriers left 6.45. I left about 7. Near top of first ridge a Macgregoria. To top of third ridge 750 or so - part of carriers already there resting -
