(This is on line between the parishes of Manchester & St. Elizabeth.) From the net over the car took Staphs, 6 or 7 small Scarabs, very many Aphodiinae, etc., etc. The Scarabs were taken just at dusk and couldn't be found else. We missed our way going home and came through Newport which is a little longer. [[left margin]] II-2 [[strikethrough]] 2 [[/strikethrough]] 6-37 [[/left margin]] Had some trouble last night just as we reached home. The left front shock absorber got loose and jammed the steering gear. We made a temporary repair and decided not to make the long trip as planned. We went through Mandevile and back to Kingston by the main road. Stopped once to look for Dryapids in Milk River near Porus, but found none. [[underlined]] Station 423.

We got home in time for dinner, and afterwards went to a move to see "The Ghost [[strikethrough]] Walks Ag [[/strikethrough]] Goes West." [[left margin]] II-27-37 [[/left margin]] Was so sleepy this morning I couldn't do much. We went to town to have the car fixed, and Ed had a chance to ride on a tram! After lunch we went to Hope Gardens but found all the offices closed. Tried to collect on a freshly cut tree, but got only burs for our pains. Spent the rest of the day reading, talking and loafing. [[left margin]] II-28-37 [[/left margin]] Sunday. Set out for return visit to the Bath in St. Thomas locality. On the way we stopped to help a man and his wife patch a tire. We couldn't find any good coconuts along the road, so we stopped at Leith Hall, where the accountant give us six.
