Had a bath with a trapper and
prospector named Gibbs. He says
there are a few specimens near
the mouth of the river.
Cauliflower are very scarce. The

weeks.

Specimens: Fork Perdipus, Crog-
Thallion, Peronopus, & Feuroma
Left after dinner and
down up the river a few
miles. Thought I going

investigate a case but changed
my mind, and camped about
5 miles from Wadon.
