[[underline]] Station 75.[[/underline]]
Two kilometers south of Capesterre, along road. On a paved side road under ox dung found an 
[[left margin note, written in pencil, underlined]] 99 Staphs [[/margin note]] unusually large number of species of Staphs, including one specimen of what appeared to be a [[underline]] Leucoparyphus silphoides.[[/underline]] There were several species of Xantholininae, a [[underline]] Philonthus [[/underline]], an [[underline]] Aleochara [[/underline]], an [[underline]] Oxytelus [[/underline]], several very small species, etc. There were also two ^[[or three]] species of Aphodiinae, and three specimens of Coprinae, which look exactly like the larger species from Puerto Rico. For the first time in weeks I completely filled a small vial in about half an hour with all small things.
We stopped for lunch at noon at 
[[underline]] Station 76. [[/underline]]
Three kilometers south of Sainte Rose. I did a little sweeping beside the road, getting a pair of [[underline]] Diaprepes [[/underline]] weevils and one or two leaf-beetles. Then I had to change a flat tire, and we drove on through Ste. Rose to the beach at 
[[underline]] Station 77. [[/underline]]
Five kilometers west of Ste. Rose. A small beach
[[left margin note, black ink]] A [[/margin note]] and a pasture behind. Under damp masses of sponges and algae, I found three or four species of 
[[left margin note, written in pencil]] (13) [[/margin note]] Staphs and one of the brown Caradids. The Staphs were more abundant than usual. One of them at least, seems to be a [[underline]] Cafius [[/underline]].

[[left margin note, written in black ink]] B [[/margin note]] Back of the beach in ox dung I found a few ^[[(13)]] [[insertion written in pencil]] Staphs and Aphodiinae. It was difficult to collect here in the long grass. Ruth picked up some more shells for her collection.
On the way back we stopped to take a photo of a "Mairie" in Lamentin. It was taken with the camera facing a bright sun. (1/50 + 8). We turned off to go to Pointe-a-Pitre, so we could look for mail, find out if the man is going to exchange cars for us, get a much-needed drink, have the tire fixed, and get some things from the trunk at the hotel. From there back to the Auberge we didn't stop again. This morning on the way out we were stopped by two policemen (gendarmes) dressed in white, for not "tooting on the turns." A very tiring custom, but not without justification, the way these people pass on curves and drive on the wrong side!
[[left margin note]] X-31-35 [[/margin note]] Spent the early part of the morning writing notes and working on accounts. Ruth did some sewing. At 10[[underlined superscript]]30[[/superscript]] we went for a walk up a trail to the [[strikethrough: south]] east. Did a little collecting at
[[underline]] Station 78. [[/underline]]
One kilometer [[strikethrough: south]] east of Matouba. El. 2200 ft. Sweeping yielded only several bugs.
