June 23 along stream baited with fish.
No rain during night. Morning cloudy, clearing about noon
to scattered clouds- Temp. at 1 p.m. 32°, humidity 30±. Nothing
in traps. Hunting in the morning shot 2 rabbits for the
pot. Owing to the cotton shortage and to how poorly
the other two turned out stuffed with grass & paper I
decided not to stuff them.
Afternoon sunny, picked up traps and put them
along stone wall running across savannah, baited
with ripe plantain.
June 24 Nothing in traps, although several spring (without hair) are
moral. No rain during night. Morning overcast clearing about
noon. Temp. 32° at noon. Afternoon sunny. Still no
word from Savage, Heros, or Smith. Sent the camp
boy to Tella for more grub. Says it is Saturday.
Went back to Hacienda San Diego after dark and set 11
mouse traps in the kitchen and stove rooms. Shot 2 more
Molossids in the cover of the house, and a late-pregnant
rabbit.
June 25. The 11 traps in the house had 8 house mice. Went back to
the little cave in the dry wash near the boerenda and shot 3 def-
mursed bats 3050-3052. Was skinning these when the truck
finally came. Packed up and left about noon for Savage's camp
along the Fajars Creek 7½ km. SE of Villanueva
A review of the Camps Cascarron, Hacienda San Diego,
17½ km. SE Villanueva: Camp was near the middle of a
mesa a couple of miles square, transected by Arubado
Cascarron, Arubolo Aceto, and others. To the east
