The day Thursday Apr. 4. Clear dawn followed by a day of high overcast clouding from 12-3. St. April 16, if rain in mid- affernoon, and about 7:30 PM. My first collecting day in this camp. Climbed to leading slope towards Rio to nearly a for an old TIPITI TABETA village site. Only 7 mammals collected, the most important probably being a small marmoset Tchigara (second of its kind for the locality). Also collected a common Mhygia - a canopy dweller with very wary dark skin. After running a night shift with the plant digger it was with a big lot of material at hand. We mammals got by hope, snare, (at net (3)), or Bush packing last night. This evening Rus is unwell and only Rus' life is lacking. Kim the cook, about "the worst hunter in the world," has been with us for two or three days (last meal: pigeons (Gig (liver)). We are bird and yesterday and on 15 day before. Nothing today is not ate bully beef (for dinner), plus came part of the Golf that Kim gathered in the forest. March. April 5. A very strong wind sprang up in the early hours of the morning. Another day of high overcast. We rain, Tighed from 3 PM - 7, rain again after that. Finishing up a plant collecting (they will be material that only lightly dried to carry to the coast). I packing for 8 collections. I have for the camp 763 mammals including 27 marmosets, 150% of the mammal specimens. Not a bad bag! Gathering considering the front place of them (in broken rain forest). Many species of second growth condition would have meant many more plant species. The camp has been poor indeed for mammals. About 130 birds out have yielded not a single specimen. I have never before seen birding great that God. Birds' from packing have been indifferent. Only 31 specimens of the following mammals have been taken at the camp: Primates, Platypus, Hypothenarus, Scleromys orientalis, Phascogale, Lepros. The stock runs in mammals, but it seems attention being paid to birds. Tchigara 182 (pigs), 5 snakes, (Ligandos (Rhizina)). The cool, cold environment is not favorable for reptiles. In insects, only a few specimens of butterflies (a few %) of Colobidae were taken. Eight prof. material (only such in Guatema) and a few mills. Best meal we down a fine dinner meat smoked to the ground at night by Tchanel.
