M.F.Smith 1993 JOURNAL El Peñasco, ~5 km N of Maldonado, Depto. Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 19 Enrique, Joe, and I were the first ones up. Had tea and a roll, then went to check the traps. Enrique checked the lines he had set with the student near the house, and Joe, Guillermo, and I checked those near the railroad tracks. Near the tracks we Got three more animals. These have a long pointed snout and may be Orynycteres. One appeared to be larger, two smaller, one of which may be a juvenile. All 4 animals cought during the night were in snap traps rather than in the wire cage live traps. Many of the snap traps were set off, either by the rain or other activity. All of the snap traps were new ones that had never been used before. We also had 8 Victor rat traps, which didn't catch anything. We split the group, with most people caryotyping ctenopys that had been injected with yeast the previous day, and also taking tissue and shining the crickets. Enrique, Federico and I drove out with Jito to trap more ctenopys. We drove along a more inland road to see if there were animals there, but didn't see any very far inland.
