29 Aug 300 km NW Villa Hayes by rd, Dept. Boqueron, Paraguay.
arrived 3:30 PM. Eaton's line camp at the R. Verde,
site of Wetzel's people. Lavett & Martin here.
Lavett makes a fox, a Feli, geoffrygi, a
couat & agism call with radio transmitter.
all but the grison have been located several
times, which pleases Lavett no end. Martin
still hasn't gotten around to doing much with
fox - too many other duties. They do have saw
Vampires now, but none yet with transmitter.
Drove out on the Transchaco for ~15 km saw
little - only ne Tamandua (white back)
at km315, which I left alone. Went out w.
Lavett after dark. Saw a few eye, nothin close.
Not much moving. Weather cool, temp probably
17-18°C alternati clear & overcast, strong wind.
20 Aug cool partly - mostly cloudy. Walked
along R. Verde for a few miles also, one sandgryge,
20-25 collard peccaries crossed near us, couldn't
get any. going from monte in ar sebo to
monte in the other. Forest 20-40 ft high (t),
dense, lots of leravelised on the ground. Dry.
No well sign of roosty & pig & deer droppin.
On the river bed we saw tracks of 2 kinds
of pigs, deer, tapir, fox, small cat, medium
sized cat (ocelot?), & wtny lien (at least 2
individuals, one small), crab eating racoon,
grison, perhaps capybara, & lots of each kind.
