MF Smith 1994 JOURNAL Las Flores, Depts. Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 22 behind the house and along the edge of the driveway , so we had 80 Sherman's and 45 snap traps set. We had dinner around 11:30pm and got to bed at 12:30 or 1:00 am. Nov. 23 We caught 4 Oxymycterus in grass and shrubs near the house, one in a snap along the driveway and 1 in a snag on the hillside above the house. Down by the arroyo we caught 1 Oxymycterus as well. Enrique and Noel barotyped 4 Oxymycterus. We are still trying to figure out if there are two forms of Oxymycterus here. Some seem to have more orange on the ventral side. In the afternoon Enrique, Noel, and Federico went to set more traps near the bridge. We left the 40 Sherman's there from the previous night, and they added the other 80 Sherman's there, plus some lines of snap traps. I stayed at the house to continue shining since we had several animals to do still. Enrique left in the evening because he had to take the bus back to Montevideo. At the house we finished shining and got to bed a bit earlier since we needed to pull the traps early in the morning and get the vehicle back to Montevideo since another group was going in
