Then join the fly R, a native cut track leads L. No. P. 8' most of the way there. At the junction of the creek with the fly I found an old native clearing. And half way there a tiny garden with a few banana trees in it. Cleared the north trail of small side + overhead tracks for going about at night. Back in camp from Bram's bog bed obtained a fine Distotcherus, in cutting down a tree. It is very Pteropus- like. Distributions tail with tips prehensile. No flying membrane Syndactyly of the hind foot. Small naked ears. The snout is thick & well developed - opens forward - had one large pouch you carried parallel with the others body. Mammals (Medians). He gave me with lead over ears - just getting downy hair on head and neck. Tail segmented also soles of hind feet slightly at apex of 5th metacarpal. Head & body of pouch young about 5 mm. (Externally; the truncs and other parts of the interior of the pouch bear stiff of long, very soft hair, which project laterally from the head). The submammary gland converging upon a single median teat is placed at the bottom of the pouch near the pubic arch. No epipubic bones, present generally in both &Ε Marsupials, seem to be absent Distotcherus and chest. The musculature of the neck is essentially that of Dactylopsida (L. 2-3, P. 12). Only 5 mm. The tail tips are prehensile. I find no trace of a flying membrane. Eyes large, probably lemming at night. Put out a few mouse traps this p.m. Weather rather stormy - looking. At sundown Rand failed to come in. We learned that he had gone with one boy up the track which I cut this morning. Evidently he left it & went inside away from the right. Boys sent out with lights & instructions to five gun signals report that they heard him answer four miles the bush. It's unlikely he'll get in tonight (10 pm already) but he should make it early tomorrow. It's no fun getting "brushed" - got supplies, and come still, no mosquito net. Got them to VIG successfully this morning. Much. Weekly repeated safely at Orville. Archbold leaves Sydney tomorrow.
