Nov. 2. I killed ten birds, none of which are rare. The netter Lai 

 is using the night lantern and netting at daytime. The skinner Ho is collecting 

 on Mt. Omei, so I have to do the skinning myself. 



Noy. 3. Lai got a few more moths than usual last night. 

 We went by boat down the river to Beh S Q u G hi. 



Nov. 4. Lai got a fair catch of moths. 

 I went upstream to D eo Ba, or "Bean Flat," a tint village. I spent some 

 time looking for a fox. I killed eight birds, one of which is rare, the same 

 kind I killed October 27. I'll try to preserve its skin. 



I have been very busy visiting church members and their friends. I made 

 two addresses. 



Nov. 5. I left Lai to collect another day at B e h Sou Chi, and came 

 on down by boat to ^uifu. I copied anthropometrical measurements nos. 51-100 

 of c hinese males to send to &r. Hrdlicka. 



Nov. 6. Filled and labelled box no. 451, dried insects 452, bird 

 and mammal bones; 455, birdskins; 454, a very large box of fish. 



Today I bought several turtles and a large fish. 



Nov. 7. Purchased a large rabbit killed at Suifu, Mammal no. 514. 

 Filled and labelled box No. 455, bird and mammal skins. 



Nov. 8. bailed four boxes of specimens. The box of fish will have 

 to drain a few days before it can be mailed. 



I purchased six ducks, at least five are of a variety new to ray 

 collecting.
