[[preprinted]] 46 [[/preprinted]] Grenada 14.

Forgot to mention that on the launch I met a Mr. L.O. Taylor, who had known Aug. Busch of the Museum on Carriacou in 1921. He asked to be remembered to him. 

[[margin]] I-19-36 [[/margin]] Sunday. Set aside as a day of rest. I feel well but a little tired. Spent quite a bit of time writing the notes on Carriacou and copying the map on page 37. Wrote a three-page letter to Ed and enclosed list of stations. 

Also did preliminary work on putting away more specimens. They are again piling up faster than I put them away, and I have to look spry to keep the proper data with them. 

We listened via the radio to the dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt memorial building in N.Y.C. Remember seeing it, facing the Central Park, next to the American Museum. 

[[margin]] I-20-36 [[/margin]] Went again to collect on Saline Point, looking especially for termites. 

[[underlined]] Station 150. [[/underlined]] 
3 miles west of the town of Grand Anse; near the tip of Point Saline peninsula; and near sta. 131. [[margin]][[underlined]] 93 Staphs [[/underlined]][[/margin]] In dung took a large series of [[underlined]] Aphodius [[/underlined]], apparently at least 3 species; one Coprinae; a few Sphaeridiinae; one Histerid; two Xantholininae; four Paederinae, and many Aleocharinae (one species).

Termites were not scarce, but not many nests were large enough or accessible. The first one opened was just ready to swarm. Some of the [[strikethrough]] f [[/strikethrough]] winged forms did fly away when disturbed. No queen or royal chamber or guests were found. In the next nest were found about ten small queens and a few others that are apparently young queens. No guests were found. 

This occupied the morning and I returned to town for lunch.

In the afternoon finished up notes, accounts, etc. Went to see the man who buys stamps and he promised to come over on Wednesday. 

Spent most of the afternoon and evening tieing [[insertion]] ? [[/insertion]] up and putting away specimens. It isn't finished even yet. 

At 8:15 we heard on the radio the announcement ^[[insertion]] of the death [[/insertion]] of King George V, just before midnight in London. They did [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] use the old announcement "the King is dead; long live the King", though one of the American announcers did. 

Ruth went riding with [[overwritten]] Mrs. [[/overwritten]] Mr. Jackson in the late afternoon, and in the evening played bridge with them, as she did the evenings when I was in Carriacou.
