Itinerary
Saturday March 20, 1943.
Last night I had 15 mouse traps and
6 no. 2 steel traps set. This morning
I caught 1 Peromyscus, 1 Oroyomys,
1 Baiomys and 1 Urocyon. All these
traps were set near a small stream.
After preparing the specimens I
returned to the same locality
(1 mi. E and 6 mi. S Tacámbaro) and tonight
I have 40 mouse traps, 5 rat
traps and 6 steel traps set
near this stream of water.
Sunday March 21, 1943.
This morning I looked at the traps
and caught 2 Oroyomys, 5 Baiomys,
6 Peromyscus, and one Turkey Vulture.
The ants had spoiled several specimens
by eating part of them. This evening
I set additional traps near the
stream of water and tonight I
now have 100 Mouse, 10 Rat and
6 steel traps set in this area.
