After following the dry bed, smooth travelling for some distance* after 
passing a big slide of rock and timber resulting from an earthquake* 
Turned off to right from a smooth bed, on side stream, then crossed some 
level, swampy woods to a small running stream, which was followed some 
distance after which the trail turned up a steep smooth ridge through a 
forest to a high divide. At the falls of the Baganga River were massive 
stalactytes coated with vegetation. Also fine festoons of vines and ferns 
across stream. ©n the crest of the divide, which is a forest and not 
rocky, we halted until the arrival of the cargadores. Then we descend- 
ed to a stream that disappeared in a cave under a rock. The waterless 
bed scon entered a fair sized stream from the east, which we followed 
over steep pitches of slippery rock for some time, then turned off to the

on each side the divide and a smaller one on the Agusan side. Rornbills 
and birds generally more abundant. No others identified. No squirrels 
have been seen on the trip* No aneroid to determine the altitude of the 
divide. We are about 20 miles west of the Pacific. 
Find another high mountain divide up which the trail and practice 
led us, then down a long ridge to the north to Cate®, a Mandaya village, 
on a tiny branch close to the Cate^l River, which flows into the Pacific 
north of Baganga, so we are on the Pacific side of the divide (?) 
We heard a Or eat Horned Owl (Bubo) and one with a cry resembling 
our '•' > c-reech Owl* Snot one tame chicken, having paid a p&sc for four* 
The rest hid in the brush* Cooked our chicken in a pot of rice, which 
made 9 fine dish i or supper* It rained pitchforks the last two hours of 
our march. At Catee/ we mainly tried to get a guide or practice, but 
obtinaed much information. On the stones of the broad Cateel River were
