One and a half kilometers west of le Moule (28 k. northeast of Pointe-a-Pitre). A small pasture. Dung yielded a small series ^[[10]] [[insertion written in pencil]] of Staphs and Aphodiinae, and some Forficulids.
Just after leaving St. Francois we stopped to take a photograph of a large masonry tower with a tree growing on top of it, across the valley from the road (1/50 & 18).
A little farther on stopped again for another picture, a small shrine at a crossroads (1/50 & 7). Bright sunshine & dark interior. In the town of Ste. Anne we took a picture of the new cathedral (1/50 & 20)
[[underscore]] Station 90. [[/underscore]]
Two kilometers west of Ste. Anne (19 k. east of Pointe-a-Pitre). An old tidal bottom, sandy

and somewhat marshy. In decaying fruit (?) found a few Nitidulids and Forficulids. In

dung found a great many Aphodiinae, but at first few Staphs. Later on found more Staphs and some Sphaeridiinae.
Got home early because we found no more places to collect. I am noticing the lack of dark glasses somewhat here, and will be glad when the new ones arrive.

Hotel des Antilles, Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe. A few small weevils, etc. in sugar-bowl at dinner. Couldn't afford to rent the car any more, so I spent the day putting away specimens and packing.
[[left margin note]] XI-16-35 [[/margin note]] Somehow it's hard to get up much enthusiasm over writing about this island. We have gotten very tired of these "frogs" and their crude ways. It is interesting to note that in spite of an average duty of 100%, many American products can successfully compete with the

French ones. Even the cheapest French cars are no lower priced than Ford's, and are admittedly quite inferior in quality.
Yesterday I went over to see Mr. Dormay and find out about reservations. This morning I arranged for and sent off the trunk, to be taken aboard by lighter. The man from whom we rented the car had not shown up so we went to his office. He gave us a bill, but it was incorrect, and we made an appointment for eleven at the hotel. He didn't come but sent a secretary with the same bill; we refused to pay, and finally while I was out, Ruth settled the matter at our figure and paid it.
