(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
