SUGGESTED ITINERARY. 
La,nding at Dar ea Salaam, I could leave for Morogoro in 
48 hours or at moat 3 days. The journey takes 8 hours. At Morogoro 
I should pick up Salimu and Nikola who would have essential 
personnel ready but assembling porters would cause one days delay. 
I would make a three days journey into^ the mountain to Bagilo 
(Type locality of Geodipsas procterae, Cinnyris loveridgii etc. etc.) 
and establish a first collecting camp, remaining one month if the 
collecting wa3 good. I expect thi3 to be the poorest month in results 
until the boys got -weeded out and trained. 
Then move back towards Morogoro to another camp for a 
fortnight, then to a third for a week. During these two months I 
would concentrate upon collecting dead specimens, but any live 
creatures brought in by natives would be kept. These would be moved 
into Morogoro with the specimens and left there in charge of two or 
more natives probably under the eye of the Government Entomologist. 
The next proposal is optional as I could send Salimu for 
the Testudo loveridgii and Pandinus cavlmanue (large black scorpions) 
and thus save much expense. 
Take train from Morogoro to Dodoma (13 hours) and with one 
weeks work i feel fairly confident in getting fifty live Soft-shelled 
Land Tortoises for the London and Washington Zoos. These to be 
preserved on decease and handed over to the M.O.Z. and Michigan. I 
shall also attempt to get a similar number of the local and abundant 
form of Agama lionotus which is a very showy species. I might here 
say that wherever I am likely to get examples of the same species from 
more than one locality I shall attempt to ring, or otherwise mark them, 
so that their exact . locality will be known. 
Then back by train to Igulwe Station (Dodoma livestock and 
specimens going right through to Morogoro) where I can get Pachydactylus 
bibronii. March south 2-g days to Ikikuyu. I only spent 3 days here on 
my previous visit when I got Testudo procterae .and Geocalamus aodestu 3 
and I feel that i could get more of the former from this its type loc. 
Sending natives to do this as suggested in para. 3 might work but is 
very doubtful, the road to Ikikuyu is lonely and lion-infested, and 
there would be a decided risk of them turning back and not getting the 
tortoises. If I go personally I could vary the bird collection 
considerably by getting a selection of the thorn-bush species which 
are so different from the mountain avifaunas. 
Return to Igulwe and thence by train to Dar es Salaam 
stopping off one day at Morogoro to inspect live animals and see how 
the scheme was working out. Note that I consider it highly advisable 
to leave the animals at Morogoro rather than at Dar es Salaam, not 
only on account of the greater heat at the coast but also because the 
cost of foodstuffs, especially meat, is prohibitive at the coast while 
at Morogoro the keepers can catch all the insect prey they require. 
This concludes the first part of the expedition having scent 
% months as allotted above with a margin of a fortnight for emergencies.
