Andres A. + Caldwell trapped
from several lots of species
which lived in the roof of the
Temple. One was a large Scotophilus
[illegible] with other a black
Megotis. I set out a line of
steel traps with Caldwell
down the creek where he caught
a water mongoos yesterday.

+ again at dawn. Caldwell
catched a larger size and appearance
of cricketeumps. Altogether we
trapped 15 rats, 13 of them Spring
rats, 1 water rat + one black rat
in the monastery. Six large
Scotophilus were also gotten,
with switches by A + C, at
the monastery where they were
during the day beneath the iles of the roof. Caldwell caught
a large rat size and appearance of an
African Cricketeumps. Caught 2 garter's
snakes in the P.M. in rat traps.

by Andres in a steel trap
where the first one was trapped
yesterday. Andres + Kellogg
