The natives think: I am some hunter, although I am only an 

 average shot. The rifle is some gun. 



Mammal Ho. 1190 is a mouse caught Aug. 13, at 0 Er. 9000 feet. 



August 18. It took two of the collectors with considerable 

 help all morning and part of the afternoon to finish the bear skin. 

 In the afternoon I went hunting wild boars . They come out daily, 

 but today they were not to be seen for most of the time. Three ap- 

 peared in an oat-field. Just before I was going to shoot a young 

 woman came out and drove them away. This was tough luck. She did 

 not know we were going to shoot the wild boar. 



Aug. 19. We travelled back to Dong Wen Wai where the insects 

 were dried in the stove by Mr. San. I dried the tents and the 

 bear skin. I repacked for the trip to Tsa Gu Lao. ^e will travel 

 as lightly as possible. I want to see the country for possible 

 future collecting. We got a small catch of night moths last night . 

 Mr. Pen is helping arrange for tomorrow 1 s trip.
