  In the afternoon Carr and Chapman went to the
[?] woods to hear the Bell Bird. I followed them
with Sam (Chapman's trapper & assistant) and Mick.
We found them by first hearing the Bell Bird and
following up its call. It was sitting in the same tree
& on the very same twig as yesterday and Chapman
was lying on his back on the Ground beneath the
tree watching it. Soon after we arrived it flew away.
It evidently ceases to call before the sun sets.

  We heard [?], Coq-bois, Toucans, Mot-mots &
various other birds and Carr showed us the bones
of a big mapepire (Crotalus) which his brother killed
in these woods three months ago. This [?] and
the proof which they afforded of the presence of this
dreaded snake made us shiver a little.

  It was twilight when we reached the road. I shot
a bat and then we saw the big Goatsucker fly across
the road. Taking stations we waited for him to return.
At length Chapman got two shots in quick
succession, both at the same bird, the first a miss,
the second a hit, but the Goatsucker flew further off
among the bananas and was lost to our sight in
the gloom.

  When we reached the house we found that Arthur Carr
had brought in a "Wood Dog" a curious and very interesting
creature of the Weasel family about as big as our Fisher
but less heavily furred. The expression of the face reminded
me of that of a Bear. Carr started six of these animals from
a hollow tree.
