burn. Walked to El abaco from Puerto Bled and saw no bamboo clumps in bloom. The dead clump at the Post Office still looks about the same, lots of green twigs still on it. A forest full of it would be even after 3 years, be very inflammable. See photos. Nov.13 Proved out the road south of town, then east on a dirt road at a gravel pit on the right with utility poles, heading toward the back side of Cavo Otto. The road goes thru good wire scrub then dead ends at a clearing with Pepinos where there used to be a house. A trail goes from here up toward Cavo Otto. There were fairly large logs at the edge of the clearing, plus bamboo. In the open clearing were a half-dozen bear-trap holes, all interconnected, the most distant about 30 ft apart. I dug out the system but no mine, no bait, no droppings. Sunny windy, not cold. Nov.14 Planned a trap line beginning at the University and leading west toward the top of a hill, through a group of trees. Mostly manas, rosa, rosas, etc., but reaching a cleft of big logs and a smallin with grass, wire, and caña guila. a few places with tucos. Nov.15 With Prof. Felipo Valverde, Adriana Ramosolla, and 7 students, put out 90 traps (alternating small Sherman's and museum speccles) in scrub, Douglas fir, cypress, and grazz/wire/caña wallin at 6 p.m. Nov.16 Traps caught 2 Oryzorizys, 5 also longi, 6 also olivo, only 3 of them in Sherman's. Spent the day at the university
