was fixed for the 4th, that of my brother for the Hth December: for it 
was here that we were to part for several months. As already mentioned, 
my brother with one portion of the expedition was anxious to push on 
from here to the head of the Cuyuni and then travel down it to George- 
town to receive fresh iiistructions and secure provisions for the trip to 
the source of the Corentyn : he would then return to us at Pirara, which 
we should probably reach before him and where we were to wait until his 
return. Hendrick, Adams, two coloured men and Sororeng, with some 
Indians went with him : the other l\racusis. Stöckle, the Negro Moore, 
Fryer, (roodall, together with a good number of Arekunas to carry my 
fairly consideralile botanical collections took tlie road with me to 
Pirara.
