Sunday Dec. 5 I was up as usual by day light with tog and work in my room and then breakfast at 7.30. At eight I went up over the hill again and dropped down the other side of the swamp and picked up a few things including 3 Lygodiums which brings my numbers up to 602; have no more desire to collect unless I see a new fern. The trees (Spathodes campan- ulata) with their red blossoms in front of the west house at a joy to me. The Selanger came into harbor as I was having tiffins; packed up nearly everything and then walked down to see Capt. Campbell and find she sails to-morrow at 3.30. Changed dress again, Bought some cards and wrote them opened up a bundle of specimens and changed dress. Layed around and took it rather easy: had any dinner about seven and then over to bed.
