Bartica

The starting out place for the trip was twenty miles from Georgetown at a town upriver called Bartica.

The little town of Bartica fell away behind us as we slid out into the broad expanse of the old Mazaruni.

But as Bartica has only twenty inhabitants we bought everything in Georgetown.

Museum from Bartica, which I reported as E. piliventris, belongs here.

They were paddling slowly, weary and tired after a long day of portaging, passing with the tide down to Bartica.
