Mustang, Meika A. 1994 journal 65 E. B. Boracía eastern Brazil, came back to Boracía on Tuesday, 2 August and reset traps. We moved some traps around so that now we have 3 traplines: 49 traps along trilha dos Pítões, 5 traps on road between house and lab, 54 traps on trail that runs along the ridge, behind the house, and 51 traps along the road (5 sets of 5 traps going down into forest groves); traps along trail to Poço Verde; and traps in swampish area called "Poço Preto", around the "Torre" (=tower). Yesterday our first trapnight we caught 12 animals in 100 traps (we could not set up all traps in one day). 2 Maurosops, one of them the first caught on the ground and in a Tomahawk. 2 Gracilinanus, 1 Philander, many Delomys (1 a D. sublineatus), 1 Akodon (from the marshy area) and 1 Ozorymys. Yesterday it rained, since early morning, it is another cold wave coming from the south. The temperature dropped (it was 6°C during the night). With the mist, it is amazing how many more kinds of moths we attract with the lights from the house.
