by insects (apparently when the leaves are very young & without chlorophyll), a *Tarianthys* with big white flowers & bright blue points, & a *Sapindus* with white flowers. The flowers of the *Sapindus* are small & the yellow rather like that of *Mimosa*. Rex & I were jacked last night, for walking. Walking in 140 troop & 235 marines. One *Macroglossum* noted. *Duropa* (caught) in three *Sphenomyia*, cut from a tree. There are on our last line of tea. As I am the only tea- drinker now in camp, I told the cook to make less tea than when Russell is here. He reduced the amount of water in the pot & put in the same amount of tea, making a cream undeniably strong. Most of our soldiers are having problems with the motion. They see me as an obstacle in what we do. Monday, Feb 3: Beautiful fine travelling day with strong SE wind sloping down hill in afternoon. No rain in 24 hours. Stood a clear morning along morning clown to creek which walks near branches, drawn. The sun said wolly under West. Bit 12 feet of camp. Event reported a big stream "like the LEBANON" in Wyoming by 3. Found a creek with half as big, deep, gappy, with a bottom of slippery rock. *Sphenoclea* planted for March. Moreover, on 14 banks I collected a black palm, common here. Particularly a *Talaman* This makes 8 planty collected on the island. I have seen fine moss, all sterile, a big *Gama*, a *Zingiberaceae* like undergrowth *Vicia*, *Eurybia*, & two off of *Talaman*. After afternoon while I prepared & drank a hand. They followed up. Russell's troop, crash, they met the water fall when I stayed a few days' up, I collected various things, including a big-leafed *Marianthous* I had not seen before. Nothing to write a matter last night, a *Talaman*, & a *Sphenoclea* jacked by Rex, one *Macroglossum*, too. Took my first strike for the Cleavely-Lambert area, a slender black which T. B. S. R. noted. The morning is wrought in a very long horizon. Incident? Think it's biggest seen at 10 miles. Two species of moths collected here.
