May 10.  Up at 6.30 to write up notes and label specimens taken yesterday. A good breakfast was served by Lucille and after clearing away, we all started for Monkey Hill by way of New Haven Gap. The trails have been nicely bushed out, thanks to an arrangement of Swabey's and the walking was very good, always up, of course. Near the cabin we passed through a long avenue of pine trees,apparently several species. Some of the trees had died and their stumps were inhabited by a species of Kalotermes, just ready to swarm. I took good series, including winged adults and soldiers. The weather was fine when we started but as we gained altitude the clouds became heavier. Yellow raspberries were frequent along the trail, as they had been below Cinchona. On the last ridge, half a mile from New Haven Gap the rain commenced and it was soon necessary to take shelter under the braken ferns at the side of the trail. The rain came harder and harder and we finally gave up and turned back, soaked to the skin and a bit chilly. At just under 6000 feet I took two dealated termites in a cavity in a hard dead tree trunk, my highest record for any termite on the island. It was raining too hard to collect on the way back so we almost ran back to the cabin. Changed to dry clothing and played cards until dinner. While Lucille got dinner, we took all of the wet clothing and dried it out before the open fire in the front room. Bed early.

May 11.  Up at 6 for breakfast and an early start along the trail to Morces Gap. First stop was to strip the bark from a fallen tree; nothing of interest except a colony of a small black ant. A little farther on there was a standing dead stump which was full of termites, Neotermes sp. We cut it to pieces and were doing quite well by ourselves when Bernard cut his fingers on my cutlass. He went back to the cabin for iodine and I stayed to work over the stump thoroughly. Found a few soldiers. Before Bernard returned, I moved on to a second and similar stump which contained more of the same kind of termite. However, could find no soldiers in the second colony. By the time I finished there, Bernard came back and we worked along the path, turning stones. Poor collecting, one carabid and two roaches. We stopped for a time at the entrance to a glen and after clearing away a rank grouth of ginger lilies, we found the collecting in the leaf cover fairly good. Took a series of a dark chestnut brown amphipod. another carabid, a very beautiful coral-red and black lycid larva and some roaches. Farther on along the trail we found a place where there was a scorpion under almost every stone. Then the rain started and we turned back. Broke camp and got away at 5.30, reaching the car at
