Out of 26 traps each, I collected 3 P. guatemalensis,
Ed 3 P. guatemalensis, and David 1 P. boylii. This
locality is wetter than the other two, with more moss and
ferns and bromeliads. This and other localities have
been moderately logged.
1845 hrs Finished setting another 20 shermans this locality.
Ed did also. We picked up the traps from the lowest
locality, but left the traps at the 2700m local.
Total traps out this night: 160 (60 at 2700m, 100 at 2800m)
2125 hrs. Prepared 2 P. boylii and 7 guatemalensis.
No Kateromys have been taken. I hope this is because they
are rare and further trapping will yield at least several.
We will stay here for several more days.

0635 hrs Arose and got dressed. Last night the clouds were
follow us in elevation at first, but with nightfall the
clouds rolled in. Later (ca 2100m) the fog thinned out.
This morning it is very clear and the clouds are once again
follow us. It is like looking out the window of an airplane.
0820 hrs Returned after checking the two traplines at the 2800m
elev. locality. No animals in the first line of twenty set
the night before last, but the other line yielded another
P. guatemalensis and a Kateromys melsoni! I was really excited
to catch this animal since the vegetation where the trap-
line was placed was the best I had seen thus far.
The H. melsoni was trapped among several trunks of the
