Mustang, meka A. 1992 journal 23 Ubatuba-SP Brazil we also added some apple that were going bad. We are staying at Pousada Beira Mar of João de Vin- cenzo . He said that some marmosa-like little animals are very commgn around here. I set up 7 traps around the Pousada (3 'Rui's' and 4 Shermaus), all up in the trees. 14 August (Friday) We caught a Rattus in a "Rui" (Brazilian trap similar to a Tomahawn) put on the wall that separates the pousada from the neighbour.(± 1.8 m alt.). We caught nothing else in the 6 other traps set with banana and/or apple. In the 40 traps set up yesterday in the hill we caught a Didelphis, that was, released. He stayed in the trap for some time maybe not noticing that it was open. When it finally left the trap, it stayed gaping at us, and moving its head from side to to side (measuring us?). We set up the 20 Shermans up in the trees, completing 60 in that trail. It seems that a dog had sniffed at most of the traps set yesterday bc they were turned on their side, sometimes closed and even dragged from its original place. We saw a Sciurus running along the branches up in the trees.
