discovered that lot of nets et had not
arrived from San Jose. Went to Hotel

Bussing in San Jose. "Unaccompanied

Nets to be divided among 2 packages.

corner of [illegible] & Kubitschek street, Asuncion,
Paraguay One of Maggie's friends showed me
a colony of Moleus (?) under one tin sheet,
on the roof of a Mormon church. They were
easy to catch, so I grabbed 26. Saw around
50, could have been many more down in
cracks or under other parts of the roof. All
seemed to be the same thing. Dissected &
put up 87's & 3-0's. All were non-breeding &
showed no signs of recent breeding. The
first 3 I captured were #. The next 23,
taken from progressively further down on
roof, were mostly #. Looks suspicious,
