[[underlined]] Tues. June 6 [[/underline]]
  What a day! We planned to go to Agua Clara, the last point one can reach now on the Carr. al Mar from this end. Tho the camion (the same type of dirt truck we took Sun) was promised for 7 am, we didn't leave till about 8, then stopped half an hour at the Inspector's house; he went with us. Many delays on route for water as the tank leaked no end. The stop at Sabaletas to ferry across the river wasn't very long, and we collected nos. 38841 - 863 (23 numbers), some of these being on the way back.
  Road passed thru interesting-looking country at San Pedro. Reached Agua Clara about 11:30, and went to the house of the chief of the division, a fine house. Had a beer, then started straight

up the hill to a climb of about 25 m. into dense forest. At first there was a clearing and we got a lot of good things there. Then on and on. Specially interesting were Hypoderris(?), a Thibaudice, Monolaena. It rained hard and I got soaked. Went back to Aqua Clara in heavy rain; boys working on bridge all through it. This place is the end of the highway at this end. Truck was due to take us back at 3, but didn't get away till 3:30; then at Sabaletas waited till 6 pm while the inefficient mechanics tried to get the lights fixed. They were very feeble all the way back and we drove mostly thru darkness. Got home about 8, and after dinner put about 1/3 the stuff in press.
Results.
  Nos. 38841 - 863 = 23 (Sabaletas)
        864 - 865 = 2 San Pedro
        866 - 935 = 60 Agua Clara
