2 Neotomys anserine, 3 Reithrodontomys 5 Oryzomyss, and 2 Peromyscus nudipes and one Scotinomys. Ed caught two more (1 Reithro cupreus and 1 Oryzomyss devina).
1135 hrs Arrived San Jose and the Univ of Costa Rica - we arranged with Pedro Pevin to return in the afternoon to do some barotyping.
1740 hrs Completed barotyping a series of animals. We also put up several animals as skeleton only pups because they were either dead or nearly so when we found them in the traps (due to rain and cold). In addition a Scotinomys and a P. nudipes were put up as alcoholics to donate to the people at the permit office. Pedro will not be in tomorrow (Sunday) nor will anyone else, so we plan to save the animals remaining alive for barotyping on Monday the 9th. At any rate, some of the most critical animals were done this afternoon.
