(8)  This morning I visited Mr. Annandale, director of the museum.  He had just returned from [[?Pari]] south of here where he has been studying aquatic faunae.  He is specifically interested in mollusc.  He said all the mammals on exhib were 70 years old & should be replaced.
Very little new mammal material is in the museum.  He has very few funds for work & the staff is small & devotes all its time to research.  There is no money donated by wealthy Britishers or native princes.

(9)  It has rained most of the day. At the hotel I met 2 Burma Flotilla company men on their way to Shillong a hill station & the capital of Assam near the Bramaputra at 5000 ft. altitude
