Trefi: forgot to mention 20 museum specials baited with corn used or bacon set in gridellos, yesterday's trail line, at base of castle etc. Auto set 30 museum specials along wall in another olive grove, among weeds, caught nothing in the griddola; in my small shelters near stream etc 3 mus and 1 young Rotters. Auto caught ( 7/3-grown Rotters, and 1 very small Calomys?, The latter in a weedy place. 80% of our traps traps were sprung.

Two boys * a short way above Chocavento said there was a rat outbreak in December but that they have all disappeared. They said a famous rataza occurred in 1960. There was no way to get rid of them except to catch one, put it in a cage, and then the people had a special mass (misa) and the rats all went away.

Couldn't put out traps until 5:30 because so many birds, workers, etc., but just before dark managed to get out between to two of us about 50 large Skerwins, 5 small Skerwins and a dozen snaptraps. Some along mud walls + pepper trees, some long piles of cotton brocks, some in dry or damp irrigation ditches. Lots of birds around our camp in a meadow; mocking
