June 1. I measured two Chinese men. I an trying to complete 200 

 measurements of Chinese men before summer. 



The weather is hot, and very dry, a draught is threatened. 

 June 2. The netter Giang came back from Chungking with 12 boxes of 

 insects, three snakes, and three bottles of water insects. Boxes 582-593 were 

 insects. I labelled and wrapped these so as to ship them tomorrow. 594, skele- 

 tons and insects, 595 snakes, 596 water insects, all the above are from Chung- 

 king excepting the skeletons. 



The netter has done well in some ways, but poor in one respect. He 

 does not turn back the wings of moths and butterflies when they are folded the 

 wrong way. Will try to instruct him. 



June 5. Mailed 15 packages of specimens, nearly all the Chungking 



catch. 



June 4. Purchased mammal no. 417, a rabbit. It is a female, about 

 to give birth. 



June 5. Filled box no. 597, mammal skins . 



June 6. Mailed box 597, Filled box 598, the skin and nose of the 

 "Elephant-nosed fish." Measured one Chinese male . 



June 7. Filled box 599, insects. Box 598 is so large that the 

 Postoffice can not accept it. I shall have to send it to Shanghai by a friend 

 or take it myself later when I leave on furlough. I mailed box 599. 



Purchased mammals nos. 418-419. 



Filled box 600, snakes etc. M ailed three boxes of specimens in all
