I hope to finish measurements of Chinese males, nos. 176-200 before 

 leaving for Mt. Omei, so that I can get them mailed, and so that Doctor Hrdlicka 

 can publish the report of the measurements to date if he wishes to. 



June 10. Mailed box no. 601. 



Took four measurements of Chinese men. Did some packing. 



June 11. Took four anthropometrical measurements. Netter secured some 

 good insects. The messenger to get Yang Fong Tsang returned. There is a battle 

 going on between robbers and soldiers near Yang»s home so the messenger did not 

 reach him. I am sending a letter. 



July 12. packed box 602, fish and 605, fish and bats. 



Purchased mammal No. 420. Filled box no 604, insects. The netter 

 Giang got some good insects, and filled box no. 604. 



June 15. Wrote letters re collecting to Kiating and to Yachow. Filled 

 box 605, skeletons, etc. 



I took five measurements, anthropometrical. I now lack only seven 

 in order to complete two hundred Chinese males. 



I am buying each day articles to give as presents next summer to 

 officials and others who grant favors and lend help on the trio. 



I have received word that the carpenter Wang, whom I sent to Mupin, 

 has gone on to Yao Gih in the hopes of buying good mammal skins. I will have him 

 come out to Mt. Omei to collect there for me until we start on to Tatsienlu. 



It looks as though Yang Fong Tsang may fail to come along for the 

 Tatsienlu trip. That will be a big handicap. Brigands are threatening the vicinity 

 of his home so much that he may not be able to leave. The messenger I sent did not 

 reach him. I am therefore sending additional letters, to be forwarded by messenger 

 and offering every inducement to get Yang to come. 



I am having a light attack of malaria, apparently. The germs no doubt
