The Mossman Gorge, three miles up the Mossman River from the
town of Mossman, should make another good site for a collecting camp
for mammals. I camped there for a week or more in 1932; got a very
good collection of rain-forest plants, including several new ones.
There one is on the edge of vast, undisturbed rain-forests covering
rugged country that reaches far back into the mountains. Today I
wanted to contact old friends who could help us in that area, but all
I achieved was the collection of a few more soil samples for Pfizer
& Co., who are carrying out work in antibiotics back in New York.
