Landed at Hong Kong and went collecting in the little hill- 
streams, where I got a number of interesting Crustacea and 
frog larvae. 
Sailed for Shanghai. 
Reached Shanghai at night. 
Visited the vShanghai Museum, which belongs to the North 
China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, and called on Dr. 
A. Stanley, the Honorary Curator. He received me most 
hospitably and took me out in his motor to collect specimens 
in the neighbourhood of the town. 
Sailed for Japan. 
Reached Kobe in the morning and was met by Dr. T. Kawa- 
mura, Lecturer on Physiology in the University of Kyoto 
and Naturalist in charge of the Otsu Lake Laboratory, who 
placed his services at my disposal as assistant during my stay 
in Japan. We discussed plans and left for Kyoto the same 
afternoon. 
Stayed in Kyoto making preparations for my work at Otsu 
and investigating the Hirase Conchological Museum. 
Started work at Lake Biwa with Kawamura. 
Studied the topography of the lake and the littoral fauna in 
the neighbourhood of Otsu. 
Started on a four days' tour of the lake on a small steamer 
that I had hired. 
Reached Otsu again with large collections dredged from the 
deeper parts of the lake. 
Worked in the Otsu Laboratory on the collection of sponges 
and sorted out specimens already collected. 
Spent the day in Kyoto at the Hirase Museum and was much 
helped in the identification of shells by Mr. Hirase, the 
Director. 
Left for Tokyo, which I reached the same evening. 
Spent the day making acquaintance of the zoologists in the 
University and at the 3rd Higher School and discussed 
anthropological matters with Prof. Kogani at the Anatomi- 
cal Institute. 
Visited various scientific institutions in Tokyo and looked up 
literature in the University Library. 
Visited the Marine Biological Institute at Misaki with Dr. 
Fugita of the Zoological Institute. 
Spent the day at Kasumi-ga-Ura, a lake near Tokyo, with Dr. 
A. Oka and two officers of the local Fishery Department.
