Barometer 28.26 at 5 p.m.We are not in the latitude of Mr.Gosse's track by fifteen miles, yet there are tracks only about two miles south of us! I cannot account for this.

The tracks may be Mr.Giles's, as I cannot think Mr.Gosse could be out in his latitude.
12th.
Left camp with Tommy Windich to find water ahead, instructing my brother to follow on to-morrow.

We bore East-South-East for a few miles over grassy flats towards some high hills, but, seeing what we supposed a good spot for water, we turned east towards it, over miserable spinifex sand-hills, and found some splendid granite rocks and holes, but not much water--enough, however, to give the horses a drink.

If there was rain, there would be enough water here for a month or more.

Near these rocks found a tree resembling the figtree (Ficus Platypoda), with ripe fruit about the size of a bullet, which tasted very much like a fig.
