85 13 An eight o'clock morning. I expected to get at least a good amount of second growth thickets. Was in primary forest up the stream. There were heavily shaded backs of walls, falls were practically bare of the ferns which I expected to find. Collected not a single plant in the primary forest. Very steep rocky slopes. Somewhere I had been cut on these slopes, & brought down to the coast. Some men were now working at this in the area I visited this morning. March 20th 5 to 8 a.m. From 7 to 8:30 a.m. we commenced up. The river by this time was far on the chipping creek, & we took a distance of 5-6 miles by the windings of the river, putting The total of species I sawing on steep banks. Passed as a point at the fourth bend. Just above my farthest point: was a big grassy island with a patch of small trees growing at it. Below the island a big sluggish tributary came in on the left. Some five bamboo, all on the right bank, I form of them below the fourth bend. One hour while we on the front of the left bank just above my far point. All along the right reach of the river I all the little flats had been cultivated. Many little primary forest except on the steep slope. The rest of the high hills 1805 my far point I was behind. The Coastal range, which rises to 3000 feet. The one left visible upstream was only 200-300 ft high. The river is little part. The fourth bend a distance of almost 2 miles, but the water is quite fresh for before that point. But the mouth it is only half to dry. Too some distance above the fourth bend, all can of small yellow fish, about 15cm. long were swimming upstream. I take it to be the annual migration of white tail. They were too fast for me when I tried to catch them in a butterfly net. But the boys catched a brown at 10 in an old basket. They found on the river bank.
