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. (28) Rained about midnight + 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. (29) Another large rat was caught by Andres in a steel trap where the first one was trapped yesterday. Andres + Kellogg
