Sept. 7. We travelled* to Li Duan Tsang, which we reached early. 

 Gathered a lot of small fish in the local streams. We used the gasoline lantern 

 but almost no moths came to the lantern. It has been a cold, dark day, 

 raining most of the time. Tonight it is still raining. We have a 90 li 

 trip to make tomorrow. 3?he road will probably be slirrpery and wet, so that 

 it will be a hard trir. . 



One of the gasoline lanterns is out of commission, and unless I can repair 

 it at Suifu, it will be necessary to buy another one before next year. 



1*11 be glad to reach ^uifu and get some letters from my family. 



Sept. 8. We travelled 90 li to Li Chuang. In the morning it rained, 

 making the roads bad, both muddy and slippery. In the afternoon it quit 

 raining, and we got a few insects. Killed one bird. 



Sept. 9. We went overland to Suifu, arriving at 12.50. A good many 

 letters were waiting me at Suifu. It rained part of the time, and the roads 

 were muddy. b e passed through a village where I did Red Cross work years ago 

 when at this village. General Feng F. Shiang, "The Christian General," had 

 a hard battle with the Yunnanese. General Feng was then under Yuan Shih Kai 

 who was assuming the powers and position of emperor. 



Sept. 10. It rained practically all day. We spent all our spare 

 time packing and labelling and drying specimens. I have seven boxes ready to 

 mail tomorrow. 



Sept. 11. Filled and labelled box no. 431, dried insects. Box 430, 

 I think it was , I emptied into box 431, filling the box emptied with fossils 

 and insects in small bottles.
