Marjorie ware at home and I felt at ease very quickly. 

 Mrs Bovell announced that she would call me Doc and 

 that we might go up to Derry later in our visit* Men- 

 tion was also made of Kensworth, another estate belong- 

 ing to Mr Bovell. He is the manager of Caymanas Estates, 

 Ltd., producers of raw sugar and coconuts. Peculiar in 

 some ways evidently, as he is unwilling to meet strangers. 



We left shortly to go to 

 the Edwards 1 cocktail party 

 at the summer house above 

 Hermitage Dam. One drives 

 as far as possible on the 

 road and then climbs the 

 last five hundred feet by 

 a very steep path. When we 

 got up we found that we 

 were on the top of a peak 

 with room for one small 

 house and a very small gar- 

 den. After cocktails we 

 noticed fireflies and caught 

 a few without falling off 

 the mountain. They were a 

 different species from the 

 one found near the Wooler f s. 

 Got home for a late supper 

 and then went out for more 

 fireflies. Pound some and 

 located a few of a differ- 

 ent species in the gully 

 beyond the next street 

 south of Cargill Ave. Under 

 street lights found many 

 diplopods, that looked 

 common enough to be some- 

 thing good. So to bed. 



Feb. 1. Went to town this 

 morning to leave film with 

 Gick for developing and to 

 get suit, netting, tacks, 

 etc. Returned to Cargill Av. 

 and made net for dryopids, 

 sorted yesterday's catch 

 and prepared labels. After lunoh took the Mavis Bank road 

 to 2 miles above Gordontown, on the Flora river. Took good 

 series of various dryopids, gyrinids and water-pennies. 

 Went back to station half mile above Gordontown and took 

 many spiders including two species of Tetragnatha. Found 

 some rotton banana trunks which produced weevil larvae, 

 pseudoscorpions and Zoraptera. Used net over car going home.
