is one of the abundant species here I have not seen its eyes shine, they have seen it by illuminati of the light moving about, but have not. Last night shot 4 joeys and a female bandicoot Echimyidae with two half developed young in its pouch. The animal sat up once on its hunches. Regarding one young Dasyurus which was trapped in alive yesterday (the mother had been shot) was still to be classed as "pouch young". However when found in the works, and after the mother had been shot, the joey had to over at dawn. In camp when it was taken out of the pouch and placed on the ground (accident ally Rand White was present) it hopped all the way across the outside of the workshop & had again to be caught. When I saw it later it was curled up in the pouch of the dead parent with head, front legs + tail showing outside, and had very little life left in it! Its battery seemed almost near done. Photographed it. Just talked by wireless to Orville today. Healy is wiring for provisions, re. for six months. Tough luck! Monday, Mar. Last night collected a thong + bandicoot. The latter was one of three seen. That small eyes of caught right by the light show reddish yellow. Also saw a wallaby and two others heard. In the middle of the night [illegible] a disturbance: two breeding dogs sneaked into camp and chewed off a few feet and tails of wallabies. It was dright moonlight too. I guess they carried off a fairly heavy dose of carcase each. The Echimyidae shot last night has reddish underparts and 3 pairs of nipples; that taken the night before is white beneath and has 4 pairs. Possibly a real difference which may tie in with the small-toothed form I described from the second area. This brings up, via Rand shot another of the large Melomys similar to those collected by Bass—collected on Oct. 26th. It was in a Pandalura with legs fleeing insects! Mm
