tJie natives. \\"e packed, and began our descent and our way 
liome at !>.45 a.iii., as now the first half of my leave liad expired 
(/. e. tliree of the six w€*eks.) We reached the Kadamaiaii at 
11.45 a.in., and our old camj), under the ledge of rock, at 
1.25 p.m., wliere I decided to stay a day to collect. The des- 
cent to the river was steep and diliicult, but this time the I'iver 
itself (.iffered no dangers and dilliculties comparable with those 
of a few days before, as the water had gone down. t\'eather 
fine until o p.m., when tlie usual rain set in. 
tSiaida// (P(di/i Sif/idttiOi -■^Piivh. 20th. Althougli the tempera- 
ture at niglit time here was only vei'y little higher than in the 
upper camp (Go''-G5 ^ as against G0‘'-G4°), we found the change' 
very noticeable and most agreeable. 1 mended my camera by 
substituting a jiiece of oiled paper for the ground glass broken 
some days before, ami took a few views <jf camp and river. 
'Plien we went collecting, the men bringing in a good deal. 
Mofidt/^. March 27th. Lowest tempej'ature during the 
night G4^ ; at G.30 a.m. G5L I took some more pdiotographs, and 
we started for Kiou at U.oO a.m., tlie progress through the river 
being very easy. W^e readied the open field at ‘J.50 a.m., and Kiou 
at 12.30 p.in. [Two of the photographs are here reproduced, 
both taken from the same point, but one looking up, the otlier 
down, the Kadamaian Kiver. Within the bed of this river our 
route lay for a considerable distance up and down Kina Balu. 
But on the day when these photographs Avere taken, the water 
Avas considerably lower than on March 21st and 22nd Avhen we 
went up the mountain.] 
Tuesda/j, March 28th, Early in the morning I Avent with 
De Fontaine to the top of Kiou hill to take some photos of Kina 
Balu, but found it hazy and the sun standing just above the 
mountain. We AA^aited for matters to improve, and climbed about 
in search of a favourable spot, finding the heat of the morning 
scarcely bearable. Finally Ave took a few vieAvs, and returned 
to Kiou, hot and tired. Then after calling the coolies together, 
we left the village at 10.30 a.m., AA’-ent doAvii a steep descent.
