  Tanggarong. 
  R., C., Cl. 
      Arise early and work on day skinning and making up skins of animals and late this afternoon I went with a native to the island of Tanggarong but got no specimens; I saw a large red monkey but could not shoot. After dark I skinned a small bittern and later developed some pictures and went to bed about one o'clock.

  Tanggarong & Loa Bambau. 
 
     The early part of the morning I spent packing my things and after taking a couple of pictures, one exterior and one interior of the Rajah's house, I said good-bye to Ekoy and the rest of the household except the Rajah who is in Samarinda, and at about 11:30, I kept near the North bank of the river and go ashore several times but get nothing; after dark, or rather by bright moon light, I hunted for pigs but saw or heard nothing. I went with the Bugis man; sleep at the house of the kepala kampong.

   Mahakkam R. & Samarinda. 
   C., Hot. 

       I left Loa Hambau about ten o'clock this morning and had the men row slowly & keep close to the bank of the river, hoping to see some monkeys; I went ashore at Djambajan and shot a couple of squirrels & some small birds. This is the largest settlement between Samarinda and Tanggarong & has a Chinese store. I walked up along the bank of the Djamba[[strike[t]]]jan R. for about a mile but it was just midday & very hot with little or no animal about; reach Samarinda at 6:00 & have dinner with Mr. Gray; bed about 2:00 A.M.
