Murtrangi, Mica A. 1994 journal 59 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. July 17 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.
