Letter no. 26. p.1. Pat Marle Jan. 16, 1937. - I have just closed letter 25 & still lack the typewriter in Innesley during the Serpina trip. Am resetting the anem: Former setting zero meters level with 74.5. New setting: zero meters level with 73.8 (at 4 p.m.) Sat Jan. 19 - Talked with Arnett & his sister Mrs Lea this a.m. about a small Phrynosoma which they once had in captivity. In the evening dined with Mr & Mrs J E Williams & bridge afterwards. Mon Jan 18 Sent 3 boys + most 1 carp up to Rona. In evening went out to Boileau's house. Tue Jan 19 Took other 2 boys & baggage went up to Rona by B.N.Q. ferry, misty & fine rain. Dint boys had trapped P. nardex & Melomys leiper anaeoid at Rona (2 p.m) 340 meters (70.5%) = feet. Walked up to the knoll where the author Beatrix Grimshaw once had her house. A wonderful view of the falls from there. The Umbellifers in bloom along the road & hillsides, then inflorescence red. We had supper at Mr Armstrong's home - passion-fruit pie with cream for dessert !!! Wed Jan 20 Windy morning - overcast - clear out at the coast. Traps: 3 (2 R, nardex + 1 Phrynosoma). The Phrynosoma may be new. Fully adult male, but of very small size. The ears not noticed as to appear double-lobed - Very unlike the common species of the plains lands - This one taken up on the grassy hillsides near fence around orchard east of the house. Its measurements & proportions unlike those of any I have caught so far. Went up the hill east into the forest which grass at the base of the aggregate cliffs to superintend the laying of a line of traps. Plenty of signs of rabbits, also if what may be Phelipara citharista - namely scathed & chewed bark on the shrub trunks that arise among crecks in the rocks. Saw no huts or caves.
