Peanuts 1979 37 Ctenomyx Nov. 12 Cerro Seco - heard none, saw no fresh diggings, yet caught one under a clump of bushes. It had cut pencil-sized twigs. Nov. 18 La Veranada - walked over and see no fresh diggings, yet many clumps of zire or zire and laurel have old weathered dirt mounds, occasionally with feeding hole a few feet away, usually plugged. I excavated one of these down to open tunnel and left a slice of carrot in it. This morning it was plugged and the carrot had not been eaten. Set snares trap. The food of these two is not obvious. Frequently almost nothing but bushy zire or the little laurel grows near the mounds. Dec 4 Peter Simpson says that on Chaco Nuevo Estancia there are trees on the road side of the river Jemay.
