Myers Pluio 1972 Journal 24 8 km by rd E of Concepcion, Depto. Concepcion, Paraguay. 18 July but w. branches into Concepcion & to the R. Ypani Fitches. Set out 6 nets, 3 over the lake described above & 3 over water pens. Saw a fox. First bats caught were molossids, but after 9PM only Phyllostomatids were captured. 17 bats in 19 July total, 3 sp (+/-). Net closed 6:30 AM. No traps had been set. Nets left at same place & more added over woods, pads, fruticis, down the rd. Traps set along edge of pad (15), & along trails through grassland that is dry now but looks as if it may be flooded sometimes (30 traps). Picked up one chick of alb frogs with too many joints in its legs, gray colors (# 240). Night cool, only 3 bats (net quiet sunny net at 10 PM). But we saw a Noctula leporina! Nothing in traps in grassland or by pond. 20 July Net same. warmer. Traps set along edge of grassland & woods (across rd from the lab, 13 km down road from building), & then the woods & into a swamps, pineapple area. Inside the forest is remarkably clear - only intermittent patches of pineapple. Three small spaces. No sign of mice anywhere. about 75 traps.
