were added to the list today
a small Sorex, the moolgor (to?)
the gamban.
(12) The prize today was a fine
large & Civetta which I
cought in one of the wolf traps.
When I proached it growled
or hissed like a house cat
& opened its mouth & bared
its teeth in a vicious manner. We took several
photos get in the trap. The
dorsal mane stood upright-
all times, it was very conspicuous.
The scent glands were very
large & gave out a pleasant
odor although when cut out-
held to the nostrils the odor
was rank & overpowering.
A new shrew, the short tailed,
large headed Sorex of Sichuan
Sorex Vito, was caught today.
I found some of the trails in
debit Prolores. Shrews in good
condition dropped by some food
along animal I have not doubt.
In the late afternoon I went with
Si Wu to the forested ridge where
we found the Gamban trail system.
