lighted by the sun, much of its
interior was sheer white limestone.
Outside I drew the pen for the first time.
It seems to rise somewhere about middle Bliicher
and this side of the steep faced hills while
I mentioned a bit earlier. The sketch maps give
my idea of the general lay-out.

The Palmer River had all its gravel bars exposed
and dry, so the high water we are experiencing
must fall come from the Black River.
Spent the afternoon going over equipment, setting
what to take in and what to leave here. At 5.30
Dene informed us that the plane had returned
at 4 o'clock. So that's that. Rain once more
tonight but very few insects at the light.
Sunday, June 28. Overcast. One Melmys in traps.
Shall be glad to move up to Malvin; perhaps
collecting may be better there.
In traps 3 Melmys, and later the local people
brought two more and a Nyctomene. The seeds in the
garden are nearly all up. We have radish (2 kinds)
turnip, chinche cabbage, pumpkins and turnels.
