July-3 at length by Grierson. We supplied them with portions of a broken-open ant hill, but they paid no attention to these adults. July 14 saw MacGowan fly to Lae to renew our supplies; Hoogland returned to Pindiu. I spent part of the day skinning out a Zaglossus, a demanding task. On July 16 we saw Hoogland off for the Cromwell Mountains. More knock-down boxes were filled with dried mammal specimens, and I flew to Lae at 4:30 P.M. MacGowan showed us his motion picture films of the early part of the expedition that night at the Hotel Cecil. Zweifel was still in town taping frog calls in the Botanical Gardens. On July 17 I reported the FUTURE expedition's plans to the District Commissioner, Alan Timperley, and to the District Officer, Des Ashton, mailed film, pickled a Zaglossus, picked up an ammunition box of silver shillings (to pay carriers), photographed in the Gardens, and at night collected frogs and geckos. On July 18 I was offered a cuscus from the Finschhafen area of the Huon Peninsula by Dr. Brass' transport officer on the 1956 Archbold Expedition, Lionel Evenett. This was a stroke of good luck because the expedition had had no opportunity to collect in rain forest near sea level. I photographed Phalanger maculatus and Dendrolagus goodfellowi at the Evenett home. However, he would not allow me to make a specimen of his pet tree-climber! After working in the botany shed I had tea at the home of John and Mary Womersley, where I met my friend Harold Brookfield from the Australian National University in Canberra. Zweifel and Sluder left by air for Wau in the Eastern Highlands District to continue collecting. The new herbarium was taking shape in the Botanical Gardens; the structural steel for the roof was now in place. Laurie Crowley flew MacGowan, Grierson and myself to Pindiu on July 20. Packing for the long carry to the Cromwell Mountains occupied July 21. I finished
