like This before. Jim + Carol caught 22
animals, Gustavo and I caught 4. I
caught a Northern group Marmosops !,
in a grove on the side of the road,
in a long Sherman tied on a fallen
tree, not more than 0.5m from the
ground. Bait here is banana, goiabada
(=guava preserve) and peanut butter,
sometimes some raisings. Today we
caught many species, including! Didel-
phis marsupialis, Marmosops incanus,
Akodon, Delomys dorsalis, and subli-
neatus, Oryzomys, Oxymycterus and
Proechimys. I'm catalogued today.
The forest seems drier than I've
seen before. I wonder what are
how strong the cold here is. (or the
dry season). We caught Delomys and
Proechimys females with embryos. Jim
and I are alternating cataloguing animals.
Liver and kidney tissue samples are
being saved for all animals, only in
liquid nitrogen. We are Kayotyping rodents.
