higher than when I started. How could covered my small crest: Tally by them, Deltastomaceae, Myrsinaceae, Grossulariaceae. At Lauter drifting how ? Collected a fine, fragrant white Rhododendron growing as a slender shrub on low sand, adjoing a precipice. The altitude seemed to mark the limit of a big Lacyclina abundant for 30-400 ft. lower down. Collected in all about 10 spp. of orchids & flowers including [illegible] One of the orchids is a big spotted with V. of Myrsine. Wind, rain, a harsh cutting hampered my collecting. Got back to camp, wet under my rain- cost, at 3 PM. Fine, Harry night. Only two boys out packing. Rosal, with the permitting, will finish cutting tracks to the left of Rio tomorrow. About 2-3 hours cutting from my highest point, I estimate. Tuesday May 6th: Concert most of day; no rain. Had to spend about two hours in morning waiting for brief spells of sunlight to photograph some of the plants collected yesterday. There is always the problem of cloud & wind in clearer color photography. Spent the day in camp, making pictures, & preparing postcards gatherings (38 numbers). Included was a small, Tallies. Stunned, very slender Balanaceae, the first of the genera I have collected in the Torricellides, & apparently identical with a species of Moresby Island. Saw a much larger species on the mountain yesterday. No Balanaceae seen on Shimone. The Torricellides are very poor in Balanaceae. Nothing in traps last night, nothing shot. Ran jacketed for 1 1/2 hours tonight, for the rain. Today Rosal both (our boys) finished cutting tracks to the left of Rio. About 1 1/2 hours cutting from my first point. Grade not too bad. From the day before we left for Thursday I have had trouble with my left shoulder. It might be rheumatism. It a coincidence that it is in the shoulder I dislocated on Mt. Bayman in 1958. It could be something else. I have not had rheumatism before.
