L.21. P.36. It seems therefore that the trouble name of the people we had dealings with is A-win. 1.15-1.30 Passed Ragge Island (the "cut-off" of our trip upriver-L.16, P.8). Hauled in to the Dutch New Guinea shore about 40 miles below the mouth of the Albin about 5 o'clock. Put all the boys ashore under canvas. Willie + Teubstedt also ashore, the latter to watch the generator charging batteries. Put out no rat traps. Friday, Aug. 14. 40 traps were put out last night but rather late. Nothing caught. On our way by 6.30. 7.30 Passed Village on river bank. 1.30 Passed upper Dutch Mission (no mission seen). About 3 pm passed lower Dutch Mission- went ashore then for few minutes. About 5 pm camped for night at village on Dutch shore. Set a bunch of traps. Saturday, Aug. 15. Away soon after 6.40. The village at which we put the boys ashore consists of a dozen or more houses, a large sort of barracks-like place apparently built by the Dutch Government. There were dozens of small dogs about. Behind the village the ground rises gradually and a very good bush-trail, broad-clear leads away to the left or S.W. along the crest of a ridge 50 feet above the river in the vicinity of the R. Digul down which boats go to Merouke! Our boys brought a lot of brown-tanorbs. Two Rattus in traps: #1+8, the latter with manure 1-2=6. Here note resembles those of Onville except in the thickness of the toes of the hind feet. In both of the villages stopped at we noticed a good deal of elephantiasis or it is just possible that the condition of the feet of these rats is pathological. The rats are members of the R. sergens group. 11.15 Passed old camp-site where Brian + I stayed on May 8th. Did not recognize place where aeroplanes joined us. 2-2.30 we shot + picked up 2 males + a female Pteropus from a bat-tree where 2 or 3 were roosting. A big hawk with nest close by. These species different from the one of Palmer-Black Reason. 4.45 Passed the Won Lagoon (=Lake Herbert Hoover). Lots of water fowl seen. Dried up for night at tip of north-east-rising ridge at 6.30. Sunday, Aug. 16. One Melomys taken last night. Set under way about 6.30. At 7 came level with Iris hill, front around a object nearby, lying about 2 miles east. Rand + Grebhold with two dogs thru! the ships duly by + found their way
