Today we made plans of procedure, as we must start further work here as quickly as possible as high water in the river below is making transport to Head Camp increasingly {p. 277} difficult. This is especially true of the link between Lower and Upper Head Camps where it is now almost impossible to use canoes. Dick and Stan and I will start tomorrow and see if we can locate Agintawa, which it would appear is the principal village in these parts. On arriving there, we will send back the transport and if possible le Roux will follow later with Saleh. Van Leeuwen for the present will work around the vicinity of the Camp. Today we had some new visitors in camp from Aimama, a village a long distance up the Nogullo, which I have seen from a mountain top. They seem to be on especially friendly terms with Igoon and the men of Tombe, some of whom seem to have been visiting with them.
