[[preprinted]] 30 [[/preprinted]] Grenada 7.

The road is pitched about five miles out of St. Georges, and then becomes quite steep, narrow, and crooked. An early morning rain had left it wet and I slipped a great deal on the paving stones and grass. The scenery is very fine and the vegetation exceedingly dense. I could find no place to collect until I got nearly to Grenville. 

[[underlined]] Station 134. [[/underlined]]

3 miles west of Grenville on the road to the Grand Etang. In very old cocoa pods I found one Piestinae and one Forficulid. The cocoa is in such small plots that it is very hard to find old pods. 

[[underlined]] Station 135. [[/underlined]]

1 mile north of Grenville, at mile post 23 (from St. Georges). On fungus on a log, 2 Eratylids. Stopped several other times to look at fungus, but it was dry and hard. 

[[underlined]] Station 136. [[/underlined]]

3 miles north of Grenville, at milepost 25 (from St. Georges). In fungus found 2 ants and about 10 Staphs (perhaps they are all Thrips). Passed fairly close to the mountain which contains in a crater Lake Antoine. It really looks somewhat like a volcano.

[[underlined]] Station 137. [[/underlined]]

One mile south of Sauteurs, at the northern end of the island. In cocoa pods took a fine series of [[insertion]] (172) [[/insertion]] Staphs, including two species of Tachyporinae (apparently both [[underlined]] Coproporus [[/underlined]]), Paederinae, Oxytelinae, etc. Also several Forficulids. A mile or two beyond this point I stopped to take a photo of a pile of freshly-picked cocoa pods, beside the road. Exp. 1/50 & 11 at 12 ft. I find the best collecting in the fairly fresh pods that have been broken open or which have a few of the beans left inside. They dry ones yield their beetles when strongly "knocked" over a white cloth. Some natives that came by the fresh pile stopped to talk and I asked them some questions about their handling of the beans. Had lunch. 

[[underlined]] Station 138. [[/underlined]]

6 miles north of Gouyane, at milepost 18 (from St. Georges on west coast road). Under dung in the road found one Oxytelinae. This road follows the coast very closely and is for the most part cut out of the cliff. The hills come right down to the water. The beaches are quite free of seaweed as those further south.
