The next move would be to safari up the coast to Tanga, 
passing through Bagamoyo which is type locality of two things we 
want. This would have to depend on weather conditions as the road 
is, or used to be, sometimes impassible during the rains. If I have 
two keen and reliable natives who can be spared I might send them 
to Bagamoyo for a week to look for the frog and Leptotyphlops 
specifically and rejoin me in the Usambara. In this case I would 
take boat for Tanga (1 day) whioh would be cheaper than walking. 
Any delay at Bar es Salaam incurred while -waiting for the boat 
would be spent in looking for the Scolecoseps acontias and 
Nectophryne werthi described from there though I think the latter 
probably came from the Uluguru where German residents at Dar es Salaam 
used to go during the hot weather. 
On arrival at Tanga take train straight to Mombo and motor 
to Amani where I should stay three weeks at or near the Biological 
Station (accomodation supposed to be provided for visitors) and then 
to Derema for three weeks, sending Salimu to Kwai for Scelotes eggeli 
which he knows well and can probably get in large numbers. Then back 
to Mombo which would be my second base for dumping live animals and 
collections. During one day there I am sure that the porters would 
get Arthroleptis lonnbergi. 
At least four-and-a-half months of mainly specimen collecting 
would now be over though I should have accumulated a large number of 
small live animals as well, in this time I anticipate having got the 
numbers of specimens suggested on an earlier page. I should now take 
train to Moshi, and while putting on a couple of rentile collectors 
to endeavour to get the half-dozen species which we want from there, 
I should concentrate on capturing live animals or acquiring them by 
purchase. 
On arrival in the country I would commence advertising 
weekly in the T.T. and K.C. papers for young rhino, giraffe,axd 
elephant and bongo to take delivery at the end of the six months. 
The Mombo animals would probably have to be taken on the railway to 
Voi where some animals from Kenya could be picked up, or el3e go 
straight through to Mombasa and have Kenya animals railed there. 
The Morogoro animals would be shipped from Dar es Salaam and the 
Mombo-Mombasa would be put on board at Mombasa. 
I confess that it is only the live animal part of the work 
that I feel in the least uncertain about, there is a considerable 
element of chance, not only in the securing, but in the subsequent 
moving and feeding of them, but I could only do my best.
