Houle, G. Sofia, Kaloa, Wai Isal, N of the Isal Mts, Huaolu, Bessi; setting out with Deninger to G. Pinaia from Kaniki (E. summit on the 15th, W. summit (3050 m) on the 17th); plain in Centr. Ceram, N of the Isal Mts (end of Aug.), Kanike, Rohn, Huaolu; central mountains of W. Ceram (Sept.-Dec.), specially making ethnological and linguistic studies, but collecting also on Hato Saka (1450 m), G. Touwela (1100 m), and at Waraoini (800 m); early in Jan. 1912 to Buru (= Boeroe), landed at Tifu; crossing the island via Wakolosee (Lake Wakolo, staying some days at Nalbesi) to the N. coast near Wae Langa; Bara; following the Wai Sesifu; from Pulu Tenggah (Febr. 21) climbing the Fogha (Kapala Madang, or G.
