nothing and anyway these so-called pandanus of the mountains weren't really pandanus--they grew on the coast. And if we were there we could cut down all we wanted to. It is true that there are pandanus in abundance on the coast, but when Marcus tasted the nuts of this interior species, he chose to agree that even in his village they're nothing like them. October 17th Bright sun all am, very few scattered clouds, clouded up by mid PM, rain 4.30. Hunted over to garden clearing and house to N. October 18th. Wake to rain on the roof, let up about 8 and had rain mid-afternoon and overcast all day. Hunted down to where track crosses stream--boys hunted down there too--2700 m or le less. The forest changes to stream in the moss?, the vast amount of down timber and "2nd growth" which is present. Many small birds in 2nd growth, Serricornis nouhuyssi, S perapicellata and many unidentified. Somewhat easier forest to hunt. Near stream same typed moss forest with dense 20-40' substage, able to walk about through woody stems and ferns. The vast amount of 2nd growth about 2700 meters, over areas where trees have fallen is worthy of note. October 19th. Sunny AM and hard rain mid PM; clouds and sun late PM. Rain 8.30. Hunted ridge to NW, boys down track. (Only one bird, an adult ♂ Astreagus.) Toxopeus down to first shelter 2700 m. and many common birds but 1 Oreoshuttus. By transport from Habbema collecting supplies and equipment. Confusion in camp with
