[[underlined]]Station 19[[/underlined]].
Vicinity of Derry,  Bonell's residence near Balaclava, north of Mandeville in Manchester. Steep rolling hills, forested but with occasional grassy slopes. Used only for pasture. John, the head pen-man went with me and used his machete to great advantage. We [[left margin]]I I A[[/left margin]]attacked numerous rotten logs, but found only larvae, "forty-leggers, [[strikethrough]]wh[[/strikethrough]] Tailless whip-scorpions, spiders, one scorpion,etc.
[[left margin underlined]] Photo #19[[left margin underlined]] After two hours we finally found four or five Passalids, several very large larvae, and a few tiny Brenthids in a specially large log. On the same log was one small rather dry fungus, which yielded several series of [[left margin]]B[[/left margin]]beetles but no Staphs. [pencil - B    Bark -   4 Staphs.]
[[left margin]]J J{{/left margin]] After lunch I went to see the Oxford Cave, two miles north-east of Balaclava. It is a limestone cavern and apparently is quite large. A cold breeze blows out of it continually. I hope to explore it with good lamps sometime if we get to come back here for another period later on.

#12. Humped bull, imported Indian brand, near Bog Walk. July 15, 1935. This is the finest specimen I have seen. There are said to be two types of Indian cattle in the island, and they are fairly common. They are easily distinguished by the grey color.
