Saw several kangaroos and emus.
Rain much required.
Mount Murchison bears from camp North 122 degrees East, and Mount Narryer North 14 degrees East magnetic. 25th. Continued up river for about nine miles, and camped at a fine spring in the bed of river, of fresh water, which I named Elizabeth Spring; it is surrounded by salt water, and is quite fresh.
Mount Narryer bore from camp North 4 degrees East magnetic, and Mount Murchison North 168 degrees 30 minutes East magnetic.
