Both the Chinese and the Ghuan Miar are very friendly. 



Today I took some more anthropometrical measurements ♦ 



Ho, the skinner, is helping with the insects very nicely, taking the 

 major responsibility for catching and wrapping them. 



A local official has invited me to spend two nights and a day in his 

 home, which I will do. Then I will begin the return journey to ^uifu.

 flies to the limit until the season is over, hoping to make this a record 

 year for the collecting of lepidoptera.
