Marked a tree sixty yards south of camp F 74, being 74th camp from Geraldton.

Also erected a pile of stones on peak, thirty chains West-South-West of camp, with a pole in centre, on which is marked: J.FORREST, AUGUST 17, '74.
Took four sets of lunars, which place spring in longitude 128 degrees East of Greenwich.
19th.
Steering East-South-East along Mr.Gosse's track for about thirty-five miles, over most miserable sandy hills and plains of spinifex, with the exception of a few miles at first, along a grassy flat.

Two rock holes passed were quite dry.

Camped without water on a grassy flat not far from the ranges; hope to find water early to-morrow, as our horses are too poor to go long without it.

Was obliged to abandon police-horse Brick to-day, as he was completely done up.
