Lonchura archboldi A party of 3 or 4 feeding on ground in short grass scrub; shot one. Saw 3 in PM, all of which I shot. September 16th Clear AM but cold when evereleased occasional clouds cross sun--wind--hail drifty winds of October--and rain in PM. R.A. and T. returned from trip 10 AM. Had already sent carriers 7 AM when I found they returned with Brass from camp at 1 PM. R,A. says G.E. way not practicable; too dangerous to cross a valley of fallen stone and doesn't want to try via north and west. Transport from 3600 meter camp arrived about 9 AM while I was absent. Hunting this AM in forest amongst stones below camp--spent much of time seated on big blocks of rock watching forest below. Mcgregoria saw one) Pyconopigeus several) Meladectes several) Peramythia 1 RM pr.) Returning in forest to South--in places raelly a -?- but rather open forest 20-30 feet high. Track heavily moss grown, and also ground. September 17th. Beautiful clear day ubtil 1 PM when peak began to be covered; then dense msit came into valley as usual, with rain; snow or drift of hail lying just above camp and so on up. Went up to tops of main ridge today--l Km. east of Mt. Wilhelmina. Turdus Several in this treeless, marshy country where I shot 1 ♀ and 1 ♂; evidently breed on ground--perhaps amongst rocks. Anthea This species more common here than I've seen it elsewhere; must favor proximity of wind-swept rocks.
