semnopithecus monkeys. They moved away rapidly + I failed to hit any at long range across a ravine where I first sighted them. Some of the f's had orange color young clinging to their bellies. 10 It rained hard most of the night + on the morning showers continued up to noon. My traps contained only 2 olive insectivores + one mouse. On the trail welling in the forest we encountered the gray apes again. Jesus accompanied by a local fijo hunter with his two dogs + cross bow gun. The monkeys showed little fear of the dogs but when we came in sighted they moved away then the fives with much speed. I fired from an old f + dropped her + then run after the fleeing troop but got no more close shots. When me returned to the f a half grown young avenus in.
