[[preprinted]] 32 [[/preprinted]] Grenada 9. 

[[underlined]] Station 139. [[/underlined]]

9 miles north of St. Georges on coast road. In dung found a fine series of beetles. The Staphs include 60 specimens (2 [[underlined]] Philonthus [[/underlined]], 39 Oxytelinae, and 19 Aleocharinae). Histeridae (4), 3 species; Sphaeridiinae (9), one species; Coprinae (3), 1 species; [[underlined]] Aphodius [[/underlined]] (106), probably only one species; minute beetles, 1 1/2 mm., 6 specimens. 1 Forficulid. Got home in time for tea. The boy brought up a few more stamps. His name is Wilfred; we are going to keep count and pay him at the end of the week. Spent the evening on stamps and Journal. 

[[margin]] I-14-36 [[/margin]] Was a little tired today and stayed at home. Spent some time helping Ruth catch up on the copying of her Journal. She had been writing on scratch paper for over six weeks!

I copied the map of Grenada on the following page, and put away more specimens. I am nearly caught up now. 

In the afternoon I went over the hill to do an errand or two. Bought a two-way socket, called "adaptor" to use on these English style light systems. It cost 3/6, and is marked G.E.C. I wonder if it's a General Electric. Stopped at printery that buys used stamps, but the "boss" was not in. Try again.
