from my trap on the path down to the coastal plain. I SHOT 1 Hallungs audubon. He was in the path when I came along. He ran a jump off very fast so fast that I could not tell whether he was a jumped. He stopped about [illegible] ft from the 30.4 meters from the path. I shot him with 410 rounds and did not kill him instantly. He then began to jump about jumping 80 inches in the air. July 1, 1929 Max. 78°F Min. 52°F The weather on a whole was fine. In the morning and early afternoon the sky was cloudless. About 4:30 & 5:00 PM it clouded up and turned blue but it has now (10 p.m.) cleared off. I caught 1 Crossa forsen & 1 Galidia elegans. I have noted that the galidielegans #147 & #150 ate all the bait but the Crossa forsen #149 did not touch it. Ortho procta forsen also ate the bait also & C. forsen. 144 ate the bait after he was caught as he could not have gotten at it without getting caught.
