[[margin]] III-11-36 [[/margin]] Tried to start out early for a day's collecting. Had to go to town for gas, etc. and lost more time finding the road out of town. We went along highway #3 through the parishes of St. Michael, St. George, and St. Joseph. At the bottom of [[strikethrough]] Jo [[/strikethrough]] Horse Hill in the latter we turned left to Frizer's Estate (Frazer's on the map!) Mr. Jester had given me a letter to the manager and he gave us carte blanche.

[[underlined]] Station 193. [[/underlined]]
Frizer's Estate in St. Joseph parish, 1 1/2 miles southwest of Bathsheba. [[margin]] A [[/margin]] Under stones along Joe's River we found 25 Staphs (Oxytelinae-17, Paederinae-1+1, Aleocharinae-4), [[line crossed out]] 3 Carabids, 6 Hydrophilids. [[margin]] B [[/margin]] In dung we found 29 Staphs (Paederinae-2, Xantholininae-22, [[underlined]] Philonthus [[/underlined]]-4 Aleocharinae-1), 16 [[underlined]] Aphodius, [[/underlined]] 1 minute Histerid, 1 Hydrophilid, and 1 Chrysomelid which probably flew in. (Also many Myriapods along river)
This factory is reached by a steep hill and the cane carts had considerable difficulty. Extra sets of oxen or mules were busy helping them. We took a photograph of an ox-cart (1/100 + 16)
From here we turned back to the southwest, passed the Beachmount Hotel and then went along a secondary road past St. Margaret's Church and Bath Estate to Codrington College. We ate lunch on

We took a photograph of the main buildings of the college from across the lily pond (Exp. 1/50 + 11) From here we continued down to Highway #4 in St. Philip parish, where we followed several side roads for some distance without [[strikethrough]] go [[/strikethrough]] finding any place to collect. We then followed the main road (#4) back to Bridgetown. 

Today there was a visiting relative to tea. For three-quarters of an hour we (Ruth and I) sat through a recital of how various relatives had died and how others received the news. Ruth has finally joined me in my feeling of how completely lacking these people are in any courtesy in conversation. They are so narrow-minded, self-important, and even rude that I haven't really enjoyed a meal since we've been here. Fortunately it hasn't bothered my stomach any.
