Thurs,
Oct 31
Turned around a little in the
morning but had to be cautious
as I had on my last white suit.
At ten the chaplain and I made our call on the
Gov.-Gen.; found him a fine type
of the Britisher; he was pleasant;
gave us some maps of Rino Bala
and a letter to the Resident.
We walked home and my first
collection was a member of the
grape family. The chaplain stepped
in to talk with the school masters
and I did some collecting in
a salt marsh where I got a
Hyridocal and a Burmanicus.
At three we called on the Resident
and found him a very pleasant
been showed sort of chap and
offered to render us any help
he could. Worked at my plants
the rest of the day and
collected a few things.
At night Mrs. Clements and I
indulged a part of Miss Gibbs
report of Rino Bala. We had a fine
view of Mt. Rino Bala from the
Government Office.
