the surge over the rocky shore and the breaking surf with this clumsy 
boat, although the people stood in the water off Lehali to receive the 
boat. However, we tried using the Boston whaler and this made it much 
more easily. A canoe came out to the sea, and its occupant advised us 
to head west of the village for a third of a mile, where there was a 
diagonal break in the surf and where we then came on to the shelf very 
easily first with the whaler and then even with the shore-boat. 
In less than one hour we managed to bleed the forty students at the 
Lehali school, where there are two teachers: Frederick Wlllia, from Leha- 
loro, and George Selwyn from Gaua. At the school we found twelve child- 
ren from the Torres Islands, nine from Lehaloro, and all the rest of the 
Ureparapara children from this side. We bled the forty school children 
and then saw and recorded sixty-eight others from the villages of Lehali, 
Lekwarangle and Tanno, of whom we bled all but four infants. The 104 plus 
the fifty-seven from Lehaloro gives us a total of 161 subjects on Urepara- 
para studied. 
We completed heights and weights, palm and finger prints on everyone, 
examined them and did hematocrits, hemoglobins, thick and thin blood 
smears, and identity photographs on the forty school children. Tomorrow 
we hope to complete the adults, and all those children not in school. 
I passed around colored pencils and drawing paper and asked about 
twenty-five school children to draw pictures of whatever they wished. 
Many worked diligently from one to two hours, but all produced "skul boy" 
works of art or design, many with the teachers in them.

Late in the evening, with over thirty of the forty-four school child- 
ren still crowded about, I left off the examinations and brought out the 
Nagra. The three guitar subjects 
Five hours of sleep later, midnight...! was exhausted and have written the 
above note while falling asleep, a phenomenon that has occurred to me more 
than once, when forcing myself to record to the brink of exhaustion. I 
fall asleep as I write — as I just did above — and yet, before doing so I 
produce lines and statements that are more dream than fact. I still write 
clearly or set down phrases, but they have little relationship to factual 
reality. Thus, I have written above: "I left off the examinations and 
brought out the Nagra"; yet, I was not doing examinations and was only col- 
lecting drawings in the evening when I brought out the Nagra. I than wrote 
before falling asleep "The three guitar subjects...", and there were no in- 
struments bought out nor any instrument players I
