spicious. Once it sat up for some moments licking its hands and "washing its face" by rubbing its hands over its muzzle. My attention was first called to this beast by idly watching a friendly Flycatcher which was playing about near it. During the whole time I watched it, this flycatcher was never far away, 3-5', not scolding or excited but just friendly as when near any of the birds with which it so frequently consorts. October 27th. Dull early, bright sun late AM and PM. Hunting up ridge to north to patch of dead timber, which we can see from # 3000m place on track--few birds. Very few natives today and brought only a few kinds. October 28th. Bright sun until 4 PM when it clouded up--rain tonight at dusk. Hunting ridge and stream to north--birds few. scarce. Toxopeus went down and picked out camp site for his intermediate camp, Nov. 1st- 9th at confluence of two streams at 2300 m. Two hours from here, edge of moss. A few natives about, with a few birds. Toxopeus, ea at 2300 m., met a boy with a bird on his way up here. October 29th. Sun and clouds AM, clouding up at noon with slight showers of rain late PM and evening. Brass and Teerink arrived back this AM. Had been to end of this valley and into one to north south. Natives all very friendly. Brass found only two suitable camp sites, the one Toxopeus found and one about 5 hours from here and just behind "Old One Eye's" village. By the river, in grass country.
