L Oct, 19. Steadily since we came ashore. Set is traps myself. Wed. Oct. 7. Wca fair. The bird boys shot the Dorcopsis, males, one adult one rather young. This is the first time I have seen D. in fresh condition (those at Davi under had been killed by the locals & were bringing them to us. They have long heads with the snout rather blunt at the end. The tail is heavy and rather short with the tactile (in fact) surface unpigmented. The hair of the lower parts is soft & nearly white and that of the inside of the limbs very short. Scrotum while; genital orifice rather prominent. Haids blackish grey, with the fringes giving a pied effect - the 3rd & 5th block, the others while in one hand while in the other they are black. Hind foot + toes black. The characteristic reversed set of the hair shows from withers to occiput. Cut new trail to west for short distance but much care & poor hard. Returned & started out up river ridge. Front limb trail which follows front left, then right. Apparently the following sketch represents the actual one we know it at present: Sago Swamp Sago Sago Sago Camp Fly River (N. bank) Stuart Island (crossed) Ridge Ridge point where grounded. be caught in a creek and shot for a while. Along the trail with of the big sago swamp (when I went there a mo) The native sign becomes more plentiful, and the limb track becomes more defined. There is a 3- pole bridge over a small dry gully. In about a few miles farther would bring me to a village. Another Dorcopsis brought in this afternoon. Rand got a beautiful green snake with pure white spots along the back yesterday sailing the river we got a few small fish & prawns and a sea-snake, the last a real find.
