4. 17, P. 10 He Palmer in a couple of days. They were fortunate in getting three natives with a canoe to ferry them across the Black - and the intervening country is "not to be had". The police Sergeant with a spare man is to walk in again Tomorrow. He left the Blacks this morning early but it will take them two days to walk back. Several lots came at the last minute - Nyctimene, Hipposiderus and that tail-less Macroglomer. Wednesday May 27. Cloudy last night. Sergeant & new man left for Willi's camp this a.m. The Macroglomer bat is apparently quite Tailless, its tail being represented at best by a small tubercle. I dissected the terminal vertebrae of ? # 2291 to find out. Also in that specimen a claw appears on the 2nd wing digit as in Nyctimene. Two Nyctimene, 1 Hipposiderus, 2 species of Melonyx bought in by Turkmen - the prices, a teaspoonful of small white beads per specimen. It is noticeable that in the terrestrial species of Melonyx small ticks crawl about in the fur. I saw today when the Laurentiaip was found - a rather small dolphin lying down the side of a steep ridge close to the crest was tapped by a boy's machete, and the animal ran out of it. An exceptionally clear day sunshine since 9 o'clock this morning.
