Mr James E Benedict
Act. Head Curator Biology,
Weather was very bad for first two days and large skull was damaged by easterly storm. We have found another skull and possibly two more besides but have not had time to dig them out
We have had very good success thus far and have not as yet been over new territory. I believe we have lost a skull owing to a land-slide
We have found several odd jaws and parts that will all come in usefull
We may have to stay longer than first intended owing to the number and quantity of things found
