finished my map work he wrote as above. As he says, we started the 
day by climbing a hill - but "down came the rain & washed the spider 
out"! It was only a hat-full, however, & we soon emerged from our tree 
shelter. 
The eastern lake was a pain-in-the-neck! Mangroves, taro, mud and 
[[underlined]] mosquitoes [[/underlined]]! Anyway we got around with the 
best closure I've had yet! 
[[left margin, insertion]] [[arrow]] "Lake" is 1/2 mile long & 1/4 wide, [[/left 
margin]] 
Map all done except 3 points to check on the SE coast. 
Bad luck to develop a hole in my pocket & lose the lens I've carried so 
many years! Thank goodness I have another or I might miss Aiwa's 
forams! I've offered a reward & 30 people are trying to win it! 
Sa mothe -

P.S. Got my first [[underlined]] good [[/underlined]] bryozoa today. Not 
many but they are very well preserved. Also got the same big plicate 
oyster that I collected at Lakemba. The basal foram Is shows 
remarkable faunal variations in short distances - both horizontally & 
vertically. The only unusual forms are the Pectins & the small forams. 
Jesus! the number of Pectins I shall have to clean next year! 
I think I shall spent 3 or 4 days on Lakemba - mainly in an attempt to 
find the elusive coral fauna of southern Lean. 
Eleven-thirty & long past bedtime -

Dear Ed -
