Itinerary
Monday March 22, 1943.
Looked at the traps and picked all of them up. Two no. 2 steel traps were gone (stolen?). 7 Baiomys,
4 Oromyzs, 2 Liomyx, and 3 Peromyscus
were caught. This afternoon
I set 55 mouse traps on a southern
rocky-brushy exposure located
1 mi E and 2-1/2 mi S of Tacambaro.
Tuesday March 23, 1943.
Caught 17 small mammals in the traps set late yesterday. Most of these mammals were Peromyscus.
Prepared 15 of these specimens and assisted in loading the truck and drove through Pátzcuaro and then to Zamora where we stayed at the hotel Fines.
Wednesday March 24, 1943.
Dr Hall and Professor Villia took me to the railroad station where I got on the passenger-freight train at 8:30 AM. Then I traveled from Zamora through Lopez,
Las Fueres, Yurucuar, La Barca, Ocotlan, El Grande, Poncitlan,
