Mustang, Meika A. 1994 journal 64 E. B. Boracéia days here in Boracéia, and in Brazil. Trapping success has been going down. First day we caught a total of 26 individuals; second day 14, today 13. Yesterday Jim added 22 snaptraps, so for today we had 205 traps. Today, no Marmosope. We caught 1 male and 1 female, both from the Northern group (they have white feet, large ears, no buffy sides). Both on a fallen log (one a bamboo), not much more than 0.5m off the ground. Both are small in size, the male had blueish testis? Gustavo took pictures of both. Today Gustavo took pictures of Akodon nigrita. So far we have karyotyped Proechimys, Oryzomys, Akodon, A. nigita, Nectomys, a couple of individuals of each. 4 August We left on Sunday, July 31st, straight to the airport to put Jim + Carol on the plane. We removed the bait and closed all traps. Jim removed the 46 rat traps and took those with him back to Berkeley.
