After following the dry bed, smooth travelling for some distanoe, after 
passing a big slide of rook and timber resulting from an earthquake. 
Turned off to right from a smooth bed, on aide stream, then orossed some 
level, swampy woods to a small running stream, whioh was followed some 
distanoe after whioh the trail turned up a stoop smooth ridge through a 
forest to a high divide. At the falls of the bganga River were massive 
stalaotytes ooated with vegetation. Also fine festoons of vines and ferns 
aoross stream. On the orest of the divide, whioh is a forest and not 
rooky, we halted until the arrival of the oargadores. Then we descend¬

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 Paoifio. 
Find another high mountain divide up which the trail and praotlco 
led us, then down a long ridge to the north to Catee, a Mandaya village, 
on a tiny branoh olose to the Cateel River, whioh flows into the Paoifio 
north of Bag&nga, so we are on the Pacific side of the divide (?) 
We heard a Great Horned Owl (Bubo) and one with a ory resembling 
our Soreeoh Owl. Shot one tame ohicken, having paid a pdso for four. 
The rest hid in the brush. Cooked our chicken in a pot of rioe, whioh 
nmde a fine dish for supper. It rained pitohforks the last two hours of 
our march. At Catee we mainly tried to get a guide or praotico, but 
obtinaed much information. On the stones of the broad Cateel River were
