[[margin]] I-11-36 [[/margin]] It was rainy all day. I didn't go out at all, but worked most of the time with Ruth on stamps. We went to the Post Office in inquire about the boat that goes to Carriacou, and then got a set of the current stamps. Got caught in a shower coming back. The radio is working fine after its two month vacation. A large cockroach came in the window in front of me and came right across the table into my bottle.

[[margin]] I-12-36 [[/margin]] In the morning rode out along the main road east of St. Georges. It is well lined with native houses and there is little opportunity to collect. Cocoa is grown in very small patches generally. 

[[underlined]] Station 132. [[/underlined]]

Milepost 6 1/2 east of St. Georges on the main road, parish of St. David. In cocoa pods took a large series of Staphs [[insertion]] (218) [[/insertion]], including [[underlined]] Philonthus [[/underlined]], Paederinae, [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] Piestinae, and Tachyporinae. Also a few Forficulidae. [[margin]][[underlined]] Photo #57 [[/underlined]][[/margin]] Kept an eye open for termites but didn't see any. There are several very fine views from the road, especially the one overlooking the Carenage. 

In the afternoon I rode along the coast road north of St. Georges as far as Gauyane. Just south of the town is a hundred foot cliff of conglomerate from which I took a sample, for EB.

[[underlined]] Station 133. [[/underlined]]

11 1/2 miles north of St. Georges, or 1/2 mile south of Gauyane on the coast road. In soft white fungi on a log found an immense [[insertion]] (980) [[/insertion]] number of tiny Staphs of two or three species (one red, one black), and at least two other beetles. 

The beaches along this road are quite clean, without a trace of seaweed or anything but driftwood. On the return trip stopped to take a photograph of Halifax Harbour, - so-called; looking from Woodford toward Perseverance. Exposure 1/100 & 11.

After tea and in the evening we worked on stamps. One of the house boys is bringing us all the stamps he can find. He says he generally sells them here in town for 12 for 1d or 6 for 1¢. 

[[margin]] I-13-36 [[/margin]] Monday. Tried to start fairly early today for an all-day trip, but it was 9 o'clock before I got away. My route for the day was St. Georges, Grand Etang, Grenville, Sauteurs, Gauyane, and back to St. Georges thus encircling the northern half of the island and seeing all of the towns of any size. [[margin]][[underlined]] Photo #58 [[/underlined]][[/margin]] The so-called Grand Etang is about midway between St. Georges and Grenville, but on the east side of the divide. It [[strikethrough]] it [[/strikethrough]] is called on one of my maps the Great Pond. It is a great disappointment, not appearing volcanic at all.
