pieces of cut bamboo, pieces 3 or 4 meters long, diameter
between match/pencil. One burrow had a couple of
quarts of two-sized droppings pushed out of it. We
set pairs of jump traps or macaque traps at about
8 sets of burrows, plus assorted snags/traps and big
skernane, all in dense bamboo, some of it the big
species, some probably small species. Also set
20 museum specials along the fishing trail along the
river through Ericson's thicket bamboo/plus logs. Anita
also set 20 in same habitat. Cloudy. Probably finished
calling the acronym traps about 5 p.m., ran them
at 6:30 p.m., and into jump traps were 1 notiomys ctenodons
and 3 acromyces alive caught by one front foot, They squeaked
slightly.
Oct. 30 Miguel put out some big skernanes in bamboo/mire.
Temp. in Bandele is 5°, here don't seem [Ruca Ruca],
mostly overcast. My traps through second growth along river
had 2 aka longi, 1 Cryzonga, 1 notiomaldia. Anita's had
in the steel traps were 3 notio vadiir, 2 aka longi,
and 2 more acromyces (dead). Miguel's traps through dense
bamboo + big cobue caught 4 aka longi, Zapatela's but not seeing.
In the afternoon put about 15 museum specials in grass
squeezes rope across the river. Ran the acromyces traps at
7 p.m.; one notio vadiir a new place.
Oct. 31 Morning clear, little frost. My traps across the river had
4 Cryz and 3 aka longi. The acromyces traps held 1 aka longi
and 2 acromyces. These were in the two new traps 6 p.m. after,
