photographer with some of his gear; and another who knows how to 
properly skin small animals, and who as time preraits can help with 
collecting. With hunter-guide for all or at least the eastern part 
of the trip (Stanleyville, Costerraansville, Juba triangle) three 
people would be added to the trip, a total of eight people not 
counting the chauffers whom I understand come with the hired autos* 
Counting total party, collecting gear and photo equipment, it is 
believed that perhaps two 7 passenger station wagons would be required, 
A summary of the tentative itinerary prepared by this Association 
is enclosed. On it have been indicated some alternatives, omissions, 
and additional places to be visited. It is realized that it will be 
a somevdiat strenuous trip, but traps would be set out at overnight 
stops, collected in early A,M.', bats taken at duskj and plants and 
infesting mites, and other small animal life at luncheon stops, and 
shrimps and crabs largely at places where native fisheries aure being 
carried on. The photographer will keep a film record of operation^ 
as practicable and besides pictures in the parks, hopes to photograph 
characteristic native scenes, tribal dances, and the canoe exploits 
of the natives at Biondo [?] south of Ponthierville , of vdiich we have 
been told and in which the party has expressed keen interest. 
Dr. James A. Chapin is also being approached for recommendations 
as to assistants, as well as the Belgian medical research laboratory 
at Bukavu. From among the several recommendations a selection will be made.
