Dec. 21, 1941.
To the water, & swam back under the bank, which
was cut under. Stirton pinned it against the
bank with his geologic pick and then picked it
up. It was in perfect shape when he brought it
back. I skinned it & saved the skeleton com-
plete. It was highly parasitized. The mesentery
along the spinal column was shot with nemas-
tode worms, & there were 3 large yellow tapeworms
in the left lung. One of the worms had actually
perforated the lung. The stomach was empty.
Some native names for reptiles & amphibians:-
Frog rana
Toad sapo
