AYERMADIDI, MINAHASSA, CELEBES, May 9, 1916. 
I am sorry to have to say that since Likoepang I have been able to do only 
a few days’ work. Shortly after leaving Likoepang I had a little fever, but 
thought it was about over. So I hired a native house here and tried to do a

little I did get may prove interesting. I saw tracks of two or three Anoa 
[dwarf buffalo] on the very summit and in the crater; also tracks of a pig, but 
nothing else large. I changed my traps every night so that I trapped all the way

species, I think, and one or two of them seem to vary somewhat from the ones 
from Likoepang of the same species. I got ten or eleven species of birds, 
eight of which are new to my collection, and | think not found in the low lands.
