moths, etc. Alt. mostly about 8500 feet. It rained today so we 

 caught no day insects. I went out this morning and got ray clothing 

 soaked. This afternoon I went out again and got caught in another 

 rain and got soaked again, so tonight I had to take aspirin and go 

 to bed. I had very bad luck shooting. I shot at a mountain goat at 

 about 800 yards. I probably touched him but did not kill him. I hit 

 four birds, but lost them all in the thick underbrush. We trapped two 

 mountain rats, mammals No. 1180-1181. Alt. 8500 feet. "We are in a 

 temple just above the Chiang aborigine village, Bu b an Tsen, alt. 

 8500 feet. 



August 2. I shot two birds at 9000 feet. W© go t a small catch 

 of night moths last night because of the moon. Caught mammal 1182. 

 We went after large mammals, but did not even see any. We got a good 

 catch of day insects, mostly bees. I got a bad chill yesterday and 

 had to take aspirin and quinnine. 



Filled Box 71 with night moths, bees, etc. 



Aug. 3. This morning we came down the mountain to Dong Men Wai, 

 going over some terrible roads. Much of the land was semi-arid and 

 the catch was not large. Last night I got the netters out with the 

 gasoline lanterns after the moon had set, or about 4 o'clock, and they 

 got a good number of moths. 



Aug. 4. We have been netting up and down the valley near Dong Men 

 Wai. I packed up for the trip up a nearby valley to Oh Er. Pilled 

 Box 72 with insects (dry) and Box 73 with insects in small bottles.
