15 years and that Tillandsia is not good forage. At 4:30 Myrwal set a Calhoun line of 60 traps across the abandoned cotton field near Puerto Viejo (7 km SSE Chilca) baited with oatmeal, and Ray set small Sherman's. July 17 No garua. Myrwal's Calhoun line in the cotton field cought 2 Oryzomye, 23 Mus, 2 tails, and numerous spring - anthy, at 7:30 am. Left set during day caught nothing. Roy's traps, set mostly at edge of beach (fringe of scattered succulents + low weeds between strand and Distichlis "fields"), caught one Mus and 3 Ph. amicurus x lots of rat- sized footprints along beach. Morning cloudy, afternoon almost sunny for an hour or two, then cloudy-breezy. Took invertebrate samples all day and tried to lay out the Tillandsia. Maybe latifolia, but the day is too spangy for any of us. Hot - min every last 2 days was 71-53° (read at 3:30 pm while air temp. was 61°. On West-facing slope). Schultze's just under surface nearly was 25.5°, 1" down 25.8, 3" down 23.7°, at 3 pm on a south-facing slope, cloudy with breeze: air 17.6°, subsurface 26.8°, 1" down 27, 3" down 24°. Under dead Tillandsia was 21.2°. Gave the garden another 3 gallons today July 18 No garua x Gave the garden another 3 gallons. Myrwal's Calhoun line had 2 Oryzomye and 9 Mus. Roy got 5 or so Mus at its north end of the beach. Counted large Tillandsia in #1, almost sunny at noon.
