March 31. This morning, Cherrie, Ring and I left for El Roble, about three miles up the mountain above Aguadita, and at an altitude of 7850 feet. We walked, and our packs came up by mule. We found the house better than the one at Aguidita, being of wood with wooden floors, but no beds. Ring and I are in one room, which is just big enough for our air mattresses and patakas and Cherrie hangs out next door in a still smaller coop. We do our skinning out in back, near the open air kitchen, which is an interesting place fitted with mud bake ovens and trios of stones placed in triangles, on which the pots are set to boil.

The scenery is beautiful here and today the sunshine was very welcome after the dismal climate of Aguadita. The front of the house faces big forested mountains which rise into the clouds and in the center of one of the most distant hills there is a two hundred foot waterfall, whose roaring torent may be plainly heard from our station. Directly in front, and in back also, are beautiful green pastures, backed up by fine forest, filled with birds and animals. A short hunt this afternoon brought in several new birds including a very large species of grallaria.

April 1. We made an early start this morning, being anxious to get into the woods when the birds are most active. I found that the woods were very difficult to penetrate but the species that I found repaid for the time and effort spent in securing them. I took a new tanager, a new synalaxsis, a violet-eared hummer and many other desirable birds. Ring and Cherrie came in each with a new wren, Cherrie's undoubtedly new to

science, Ring's was being carried by a sparrow hawk.

There is a small parrot here and several larger ones less common. O'Connel and Fuertes arrived this afternoon from Aguadita.

April 2nd. Two new parrots, one by Fuertes and one by Ring marked todays chief items of interest. O'Connel brought in a fine little bird, blue with pure white crown and related to the honeycreepers and also one of the huge humming birds of this region. I had a very poor day securing only six birds. One was the native Goldfinch which I have not taken before. I lost several in the heavy cover when they fell and many of my shells were bad, the powder having degenerated from the continual wet days of the past weeks.

We sent Manuel, our Indian, back to Bogota today to look up Chapman from whom we have heard nothing since he was taken with the fever.

April 3d. I found a fine trail this morning leading through all kinds of cover. I secured fourteen birds by ten o'clock including Red-faced callospiza, verios, warblers, pachyramphus, and four hummers, two of them the tiny purple short-billed species in perfect condition.

April 4th. Chapman arrived today completely recovered from the fever which he described as having been as painful and discouraging as my case was. I had a poor day so spent the time skinning for the others. .

While in the jungle this morning I came upon an old deserted Indian hut. It was very primitive in every way and still hanging on a wooden bar where the fire had been, was a pot hook made from natural root and perfectly shaped for the purpose. It was tied to the bar with palm fiber which was blackened by the fires of yore. This I collected as an interest
