[[strikethrough]] T [[/strikethrough]] ^[[L]]ong Mindjau, Segah R., Borneo. Am weak from [[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]] ^[[d]]ysentery but hunted from shortly after sunrise until about 2:00 P.M.; had Mohamid with me; lost our bearings & were a long time before we could get our old trail which was flooded as the Segah is overflowing its banks.

The mouth of [[strikethrough[[ T [[/strikethrough]] ^[[L]]ong Mindjau makes a good harbor; great masses of logs, stumps, etc. have been going down stream all day. Everything is moldy & wet from the continual showers & flies & bees thicker than ever. Wednesday, December 4, 1912. Segah R. above Moeara Birang. C.

Make up some bird skins of specimens I got yesterday.
