Itinerary
Thursday. March 18, 1943.
Looked at the traps this morning and caught 3, Baiomys; 2, Liomys;
3, Peromyscus; 1, Sigmodon; and 5
Orozomya. This evening I set
about 25 additional mouse traps and
put out 6 sets of no. 2 Victor
steel traps along a small stream.
Friday March 19, 1943.
Looked at the traps this morning
and caught one Marmosa,
2 Reithrodontomys, 3 Orozomya,
3 Peromyscus; 5 Baiomys.
This afternoon I did not feel well
so the others went into the
field and left me at the hotel.
The party now consists of the
entire E. Raymond Hall family, Roberto
Alcantar B (a Mexican youth) and
myself. We have all gotten along
nicely and are located in
the heart of the town of Tacámbaro.
We have 4 rooms in the Europa
hotel rented and prepare specimens
in the patio.
