finished my map work he wrote as above. As he says, we started the day by climbing a hill - but "down came the rain & washed the spider out"! It was only a hat-full, however, & we soon emerged from our tree shelter.
The eastern lake was a pain-in-the-neck! Mangroves, taro, mud and [[underlined]] mosquitoes [[/underlined]]! Anyway we got around with the best closure I've had yet!
[[left margin, insertion]] [[arrow]] "Lake" is 1/2 mile long & 1/4 wide. [[/left margin]]
Map all done except 3 points to check on the SE coast. 
Bad luck to develop a hole in my pocket & lose the lens I've carried so many years! Thank goodness I have another or I might miss Aiwa's forams! I've offered a reward & 30 people are trying to win it!
Sa mothe -
Harry.

P.S. Got my first [[underlined]] good [[/underlined]] bryozoa today. Not many but they are very well preserved. Also got the same big plicate oyster that I collected at Lakemba. The basal foram ls shows remarkable faunal variations in short distances - both horizontally & vertically. The only unusual forms are the Pectins & the small forams. Jesus! the number of Pectins I shall have to clean next year!
I think I shall spent 3 or 4 days on Lakemba - mainly in an attempt to find the elusive coral fauna of southern Lean.
