1.	Ralph: OK. How many branches do we have?
2.	(Both count by touching)
3.	Ralph (continues): One, two, three, four, five six, seven, eight, nine. OK, we've got nine branches.
4.	(Eric records the number; Eric begins counting leaves silently).
5.	RF:  Can you guys tell us a little bit about your project, what you've been doing and what you've been learning?
6.	Ralph:  Well, basically what we've been doing is we've been going over all the plants, seedlings, rainforest trees, and we've been recording height, the diameter around the base, the number of leaves, the number of stems, the scientific name, the common name, what family they're in like palm family, or like whatever flower family, whatever you want. And we're going to plot it on the map, and we have what Dr. F made here from a few years ago and we're going to combine these with the new trees.
7.	Eric: We've been making our table like this. (Holds up for the camera).  It shows our diameter, height, family name, scientific name, common name. And we're making a rough draft of another which has the name, number, the leaves, and the stems and we're just showing, we're just making a little record of all these trees that Dr. F. got planted.
8.	Ralph: And we're having pictures, and I'm going tonight to talk to the guy who gave us the seedlings so I can hopefully get a lot of the plant dates like when they were planted, so I can find out how old they are, so we can record the progress of how they've been growing.
9.	RF:  How many specimens are in your study?
10.	Ralph: I'd say about 40 or 50 maybe.
11.	Eric: A lot.
12.	RF: What's this one we've got right here?
13.	Eric: It's a Damar. (Dryobalanops aromatica)
14.	Ralph: This one's been recently--got knocked over.
15.	Eric: And we taped it back together. Someone was carelessly running through and stepped on it so we tried to tape it, and it looks like it's doing pretty good.
16.	Ralph: It's not brown.
17.	Eric: And it survived.
18.	Ralph: We've only found one mistake so far; we fixed that up there.
19.	RF: What kinds of thing do you feel like you've you been learning? 
20.	Ralph: Been learning a lot what plants look like like the Damar and the Shorea are pretty much the same. But one of them was marked up there as the Intsia, but we figured it was the Damar by the leaf shape and the way the branches branched off.   
21.	Eric:  So we have to observe them very, very carefully because some of them could be mistakes. Because these leaves are really close to an Intsia and it's really easy to mistake other trees.
22.	Ralph: We've got a range of things like from Mango, to Capostasia (Cecropia?),  Coffee, Shorea roxburghi, and Betel Nut Palm, and like this Damar, so we've got quite a range of things, I could keep going, but.
23.	RF: Thanks guys.
