and reintroduction of Callithrix geoffroyi, run
by the biologist Sérgio Lucena Mendes, from
Museu Mello Leitão in Santa Teresa - ES.
I set up traps in two "reserves": M-7 and
reserva da Grotá. The Fundação Biodiversitas
did an inventory of the small mammals in
the Aracruz reserves in July of 1992, as part
of their general inventory for the entire
Atlantic Forest. They reported Marmosops
incanus only from the M-7 reserve. So I

the forest at both sites were quite dry.
M-7 may not have a creek within it

along which we worked. Reserva da Grotá
is more humid, since it includes the some-
