The sketch map on previous page represents an attempt to
map what I have seen from the tree-tops in consonance with
information previously obtained.
This afternoon took new trail cut by
my try Sororo few days ago. It leads
south parallel with the track (ple
NW Patrol) but more to the west, and
it steps head ridges with swampy
tips covered with more-grown-
vegetation. The large creek at the
ridge runs one limestone and ten-
cut into it to a depth of a couple of-yards. More further north run m-
grevel. The large creek in the SW Patrol
track is down to the limestone. Just before
reaching the area I follow timber the
track (passes some very interesting swamp forest. I intend
putting traps in there again.
Thursday June 25. My trap caught a mole Urnups. In another
trap a bandicoot had been caught but all except the hind
foot had been eaten dry a pig. The hind foot measures 55
mm. 3. u. The Urnups with medilen thin tubercle carrying two vibrissae.
The plane is on the way. 9.30 a.m. Heard her go by. Intus
invisible from here. Clouds drifting form east to west of SE to
NW. 9.45-Plane came in. Reported mountain's clouded and
invisible. Staying over night to try again in p.m. and
once again next morning very early.
Rain came on at 5.15 pm. Weather bad. Hope-
for better luck tomorrow. Plan now to drop note
to Millie to come out with sufficient carriers to take
me and radio in to Mt. Makerin so that I can
inform them at Dame as to the local weather. If they
can make delivery tomorrow (July 20) and his men ought
to get here about Tuesday (June 30)
and we should then leave
on Thursday end put there late Sunday (July 4th).
