~8- 



Aug. 5. We travelled up the creek, called Dong Men Yeo to the 

 village called Oh Er. This is an aborigine village, one of the last 

 up this creek* We caught some very good insects today. This looks 

 like a place well worth working. We got some rare butterflies today, 



This is a Chiang aborigine town. The village head is very 

 friendly, and will do everything to help. The three netters will 

 net and trap. I will hunt birds and large mammals. 



We will have to bring practically all our provisions up from 

 Wei Chow, for there is little here. 



A ug. 6. Today the three collectors netted insects, with fair 

 results. I spent the day hunting with two hunters and a guide. I 

 killed one strange-looking bird, and three mountain goats. 



Filled Box 74. Dried insects. Killed one snake. The mountain 



goats were on an almost perpendicular cliff. The hunters did 



marvellous work getting along that cliff after the game.

Aug. 8. I left the three netters at 0* Er and went to Dong Men 



Wai, where I sent up the gasolene lanterns, food, gasolene, kerosene,

Chiang aborigine village. I will soon return to 0 Er, for wild game
