May 25. Sunday . Mrs. Dignum, Faith, Dick and I went to 

 Roselle for lunch and a swim. Swimming is very stren- 

 uous there as the beach is shelving, somewhat rocky and 

 with a very strong undertow. Back to Piccadilly Road 

 for early bed. 



May 26. Dick joined me for a trip around the east end of 

 the island. Took the road to Annotto Bay, pausing at 



Horth shore, just east of Port Antonio. 



Castleton Gardens but without leaving car. Collected 

 near Hope Bay in coconut walk, taking ants, millipeds 

 and miscellaneous insects. Stopped just beyond Port 

 Antonio for lunch. Sweeping roadside plants produced 

 little. Stopped at Blue Hole to collect under weed on 

 beach. Many Crustacea but no insects. Light rain. 

 Avoided Friendship Valley road because we could see 

 that it was raining very hard in the John Crow mountains. 

 Continued along the shore to Hector 1 s River and Port 

 Morant and then in to Kingston. In the evening visited 

 Jim Walker and Hazel (Wooler) to see the collectiom of 

 butterflies. Well arranged and mounted but most of the 

 specimens lack locality labels. Walker is especially 

 interested in Lycaenidae and has an excellent collection 

 of this group. He needs help with identifications. 



May 27. Went to Institute to make final arrangments for 

 talk this evening. Am permitted to wear white instead 

 of tuxedo. "Went to bank for money and to the United 

 Fruit to find out about my baggage. Nathan f s and Hen- 

 derson's for purchases. Lunch. Hope at 2 but no pass 

 yet for the Palisadoes. Picked out termites and fruit
