[[preprinted]] 82 [[/preprinted]] St. Vincent 21. 

In dung in a small yam field took 3 Staphs (Xantholininae-1, Aleocharinae-2), 1 Sphaeridiinae, and 43 Coprinae. 

Returned along the same road (not an auto road) to Mesopotamia. I stopped at the Police Station to look at their map. It shows a lot of roads that aren't on my map. Then I started back through the Marriaqua Valley, intending to take a lower road through Gomez. This road soon turned into a foot path but I followed for about two miles. It ended in a very steep half mile hill, exceedingly rough. Rather than strain the motor when it isn't working very well, I decided to go back. On the way back I stopped to speak to some men at a little store where I had inquired the way coming up. One of the men was evidently drunk. He practically "told" me to come in for drinks. I said I didn't want a drink, but he said [[underlined]] they [[/underlined]] would have them on [[underlined]] me [[/underlined]]! I merely laughed and drove on down the rough trail. He was still swearing when I got out of hearing and I really expected him to try to follow. Judging from his looks and actions, I was lucky not to have stopped the motor. He looked like a very light "half-breed", with the usual bad characteristics.

Returned home over the Vigie Road without finding any other place to collect. Arrived just in time for lunch, though I had taken my lunch with me. After lunch I went to the Post Office and got two letters for Ruth. One of them apparently arrived yesterday and the others came today on the S.S. Lady Hawkins. 

Then road out 2 1/2 miles toward Calliagua to a pasture just below Lion Hill along the Greathead River. 

[[underlined]] Station 172. [[/underlined]]
Along the Greathead River, about 2 1/2 miles south [[strikethrough]] west [[/strikethrough]] east of Kingstown. In dung took 68 Staphs ([[underlined]]Oxcytelus[[/underlined]]-34, Paederinae-1, Xantholininae-21, [[underlined]] Philonthus [[/underlined]]-1, [[underlined]] Tachyporus [[/underlined]]-1, and 2 spp. of Aleocharinae-2&4), 5 Histerids, 84 [[underlined]] Aphodius [[/underlined]] with 5 larvae, etc. This is the first [[underlined]] Tachyporus [[/underlined]] I've taken on the trip, if it really is that. When I caught it I thought it was a [[underlined]] Leucoparyphus silphoides [[/underlined]], but it's not that. It may be another species of [[underlined]] Leucoparyphus [[/underlined]] (Cilea). All the species of this genus recorded by Leng from the West Indies are really [[underlined]] Corpoporus [[/underlined]].

Two women today asked me my name. Knowing they'd never get such a long one, I told them it was Jones! One returned that she was Miss Jackson.
