53 Oct At the two mint red vehicle flowering Papea tree in the village, hoping for small flower-eating bat. One saw for several nights when Papyra flies near the tree which has pulled nothing. The flies fly around it as they would a bog stake, which is a matured woman. Friday June 12: SE weather continues, more or less wily. Rain enough last night to stop jacklight hunting. Then, shower between 1 & 2 PM. Tallied in primary rain forest (the only area I have been in the neighborhood) down the bank towards the grass point for min flyers including a cylindrical-fruited Sancta which looks like one I collected at WIMMELT & now at JAMELIE. A splendid and backed Marmica is plentiful. Very conspicuous, but silent. Some few other trees of first magnitude are present. A Macrorynchus & a Gobiana, plus a sunbird & another small bird in the (formerly) dry morning. Nothing in later last night. Jacking by Kim & Tzilich shielded by rain. Traveled around 4 PM from KEDOITI, a two - hour walk. Repeat good travel & gradual ascent through the SNAKAD! coming to the Talama River which I have previously crossed about three past 12 circles. The 7 hours travel through unhabituated primary forest. Crossed 20 streams occurred, 16 villages en route. Cannot report on outbreak of something, which is killing fish in the area of eastern Papea & from Goodwynn Island and a south through 16 T'amarasany. All residents on the radio circuit have had official notices about it. Official opinion is that the cause might be seismic or biological (i.e. "red tide" of French). Tovi: Volcanologist Taylor reported on his way to investigate. Met 3 of our boys from last night at a big feast & dance at one of the TUTUBEYA villages, 17 hours walk from here. Lionel, who passed through the village this PM, where a big affair with hundreds present, a great show of pigs, root foods, (all nuts). The climate comes tonight. Pabuaria appears to be the beginning of the Talakadi country. Here at Elgarania the affinities are with Togarulu.
