116 Mon. Oct. 18 I was up early and had tea and changed the drums on my plants before breakfast. Baptain and Mr. Blemens and I started out over the same road we walked last night. Baptain killed a long snake about 6 feet, a most beautiful green. Everything was most interesting. I found some fine specimens of Lygodium dichotomum? and a few other interesting forms and one little tree which we think may be the mistletoe tree. I left the Blemens in the field and came home and laid my back before tiffin. Went out in the matin quarters in the afternoon and did a little sleeping; got my coat fixed and some money changed and wrote some letters. We sailed for Kudah ab about 6.30. I put my plants in press after dinner and went to bed on deck at about 10.
