September 10th Dull AM, fine rainPM, The Doctor, Schraeder, Van Arken and Meyr-Drees arrived about 11 AM with food for all and a dozen carriers to stay and carry us about. R.A. did not go up to above camp as only two carriers available, one sick and one with Teerink's belongings. Hunting slopes to west. Crested starlings, common sp., feeding on first of umbrella trees--singly, pairs more often and threes. Give little call Kek or Ke-ek on my bars at night. Feed on planty fruits (not red ones) breaking off and swallowing whole fruit. Yellow cressam most distinctive field mark. Even when only a glimpse of the bird is caught, its profile with up-turned crest is unmistakable. Papuans left their shelter this AM and crossed just above camp, missing the trail to climb the ridge. Another party coming from the north also climbing the ridge to southeast. The doctor and party also saw many Papuans. September 11th. Dull AM. Moved up to 3800 meter camp where it was also dull. Rain in the after- noon and evening. R.A. made trip in 1 hour 42 minutes. Doctor, Schraeded and Toxo- peus came up, accompanied to cliff by two Papuans from Ebeli. Dyaks went back. Here I am 1 mile east of Wilhelmina Top, now hidden in clouds. Teerink says best day Dyaks had since he came here. Saw and missed one grouse on trail. Set out three steel traps in big run just above camp. September 12th. Sun early, overcast by 8.30. Mist down on mountain top and cold wind and rain PM, starting about 2 PM--just before that, fog as thick as they come, came drifting in from SE for a few moments.
