I got them both along a path, strong colors,
across a high ridge, alt. 1800 covered with a kind
of bamboo grass. The traps were under roots of
trees. I was using banana and uncooked rice as
bait. There was nothing that I could recognize
in their stomachs but it looked to be entirely
vegetable matter. Along the road I saw
in a thicket of blackberry vines and bushes,
an animal which looked like galidia, judging
from the color of the hair. He disappeared quickly
and I could not get more than a glimpse
of him.

I caught another Eluirus. I changed the name
from "Bushy-Tailed Brown Woodrat" to
"Fuzzy-Tailed Brown Woodrat". This one #172,
is a Galurendo, judging from the softness of his
furne and the sutures sutures sutures in the
shell being very evident. He was caught on the same
ridge and in the same style of place that is under
roots of two trees on a high dry ridge covered with
bamboo grass. I brought him home and put it in
the journal of the trip.
