text: This morning I was busy with my collection and then I worked on language with the gaonburas using Wolfenden's questionnaire. In the afternoon we went to the village, Kauffmann to measure and I to make a house list of the Balang. As usual it was difficult to find people to be measured and when we saw a man standing around in the distance we called him over and Kauffmann started the measurements
