Box 59t bottled insects, same place and locality. 



July 12* Today I went across the city to the Horth Gate and on several 

 miles to the headquarters of General Den, who controls the district beyond 

 Kuanshien where I want to collect. I got the permission to go by a round- 

 about way and the official document necessary. I then went to see Mr* 

 JiOrrance, who is familiar with that region, but he was not at home. I gave 

 the collectors lessons about how to handle gasolene lanterns for night 

 collecting. Tonight all four whom I am training are working with the night 

 lanterns and although the stars are out they are getting a good catch. Sbot 



Today I mailed eight boxes of specimens, all insects. One contained 

 bottled insects and the rest dried and wrapped insects. 



July 13. Spent the day packing or securing the proper passports. I 

 still have one or two more to secure. The netters secured a fair lot of 

 moths today. 



July 15. I have been exceedingly btisy packing for the collecting trip 

 to Mowchow, Tsagulow, etc., west of here. I expect to get off Monday, 

 July 17. I have five different Chinese passports and expect to get one 



^ more. Filled Box Ho. 60, insects, July 13-15, 1933, at Chengtu, Szechuan,
