bottle of Kola (performed carbonated water) from the Meira bottling works. Sanchez caught a Molossid in the store room. Said it was eating cacao beans. Poured rain during the night. June 9. Breakfast with Sanchez, then hunting along the road south of town. Shot 2 Crotophaga sulcirostris, 1 Columbidae, 1 Sporophila, and 1 Tyrannus. Saw coctive men and Torpene. After lunch went swimming in the Rio Mogotivero, took pictures of 2 Bobins of a brother of my host. During this time a cat ate up 2 stuffed kingbirds. Went hunting again in afternoon about 4:30 and got 2 quail and a mourning dove [the smallest dove-pigeon that I have seen hereabouts] Sun almost all day. No rain. Great numbers of bats flying up and down our street at about 7:30-8, many going in or out of our roof. Too dark to see them flying. June 10 After breakfast went south of town and shot a pair of parakeets and another Sporophila. After the experience of the last few days of trying to remove the goode in the field amidst grit clouds and consequently ruining skins or goade or all three (birds and corpses) today brought them home before opening them up. I think the preservation will be perfectly OK. Several light showers in A.M. at 2 pm went swimming in Rio Mogotivero and was just coming out when a couple of boys came to tell me Savage et al. had arrived. They are camped only [00715] down 5? of Villanueva. Packed up and started back to their camp, but had to go up around head Rio Viejo-a matter of a couple of hours. Am much surprised at difference
