L 26. P. 7. but I was unable to make out the mammary formula. Though an arboreal mammal, it was caught on the ground. Tonight's bat hunt gave us Pipistrellus (the same that I blew to shreds last night), knocked down by one of the boys' sticks. Apart from our Distem Division material it seems to constitute the first record for Papua; certainly it is in the Central Division newly collected. Going over our C.D. material I find we now have: Rattus, 3 spp.; Melomys, 2 spp; Popanomys, 1 sp.; Uromys, 1 sp., an unidentified rodent; Uromys, 1 sp., - then are the rodents; marsupials: a bandicoot, Pseudochirus, Petenurus, a wretched native skink of Dactylopsila, and Phascogale, 2 spp.; bats: the Pipistrellus only. Total: 16 species. Of these four only are typotypical. We have just been attacked (8 pm) by an old Korari named Kowkew with his entire retinue of about 3 men & 3 women. The village in the hill which I visited yesterday is his. His distinguishing badge is a delby hat painted all over with silver paint. He is saying never to take it off. Sun. Jan 31. Nothing new in traps: R. mordax, R. praecox and M. lewiper. Sent Gorro & Coe out shooting - as usual knewer. This p.m. Johnston came over for a chat. He got a Hippopridus (probably Pulexina which we want) out of a tree this afternoon, but he turned the tree to the ? hat is pretty badly damaged. I'm keeping it just the same. Last night Kowkew said that two Kangaroo might be found at Moroko on the Musgrave R. 8.5. p.m.
