Fazenda Intervales (Base do Camo)
We caught nothing on trapline along rio Lajeado,
in new, long Shermans and Victor snaptraps. On
trilha da Figueira we caught 2 Akodon (+1 that
escaped), 3 Oryzomys (1 of which escaped), 2 Manuoso,
1 Oligoryzomys and another probable Chamaeza.
We keep seeing fresh mountain lion and tapir
tracks on the trail.
Summing up w/ Jim and Carol's captures we
did 28 specimens today. No karyotyping. We
wanted to finish earlier (than 11:00 pm) today.
We were all quite tired. Days have been quite
nice, sunny, blue sky. Temperatures around
10°C at night, 25°C during the day. Moon is
cusant. No rains so far. Bait has kept well
in trap, bananas still look fresh after four
days.

Sunday: today is the world soccer cup final:
Brazil and Italy. Animals were low in traps:
total of 15 individuals today. No karyotyping.
Because we don't have enough cryogenic tubes,
we started today to take tissue of only frozen
samples, of all indivs. collected.
July 18
We released 3 Akodon on Figueira trail.
Not counting these, we did 23 specimens. Jim
and I karyotyped 2 Oryzomys and 2 Oxymycterus.
