Myers plot 1973 Journal 176 410 km NW Villa Hayesyard, Dept Bguera Parag 24 Sept head of a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga) that seems had cut off left leg the road. There were a no. of campfires only a few days old & lots of the sticks they use for mosquito net, where we camped. Probably the Palo Sante cutter stayed here, at least for several day. 25 Sep Day dawned misty, hazy, partly cloudy. N wind. Ran the traps last night, picked up 1 Phyllos & 1 Marmoset along the dirt road, along the TransChaco (got 1 Akodon #4 star in the field) got 2 more Akodon & 1 cenwaw. (unphyllous) In the morning I picked up another Marmoset along the dirt road & a Monegelphius along the highway, & a small red mouse on a fallen tree trunk at the edge of the field & 2 more of the Phyllotis-like unknowns in the field. 2 of the clearny traps were plugged w/ dirt (mosquos), but the rest had been ignored. Stopped at B. Verde to let off Dahl [who had gone to Philadelphia with us] & to skin the mice. At about 3 PM, temp. at 38C. 275 km NW Villa Hayesyard, Dept Pb. Hayg, Paraguay arrived 4 PM. Strong N wind, but it died about 5 & we put out 5 nets (over 3 ponds). All were near Palm Swamp. Saw got 7/90, along the road, all near ponds. Many bats. Larus first (cenwaw), then the Molassil.
