N. Guaro Nejiro?? The Smithsonian must have a diary of this expedition which might indicate where they were on Sept. 26 :) 2.I looked in the completed project for Dr. Edgar A. Mearns collection book from this expedition.

Mearns, Collector, September 25-27, 1909." However, Heller's label seems to read " [[ N.
