Mustiangu;, Meika A. 1994 journal 68 Sítio São José da Serra Serra do Mar in the State of Rio, near the old city of Tresópolis. The farm belongs to Maíca Lara's parents (Seu José and Dona Raimunda). It is 106 ha in area, 40% of which is forest. The forest # is not pristine, but has many large trees in nice areas, interspersed with areas full of vines and bamboo which reflect recent disturbance, mainly logging. The altitude is 1000m. Frost has burnt plants around here. The weather these days has been fine, cold and sunny. Today we had a little mist early in the morning. We set up 40 Tomahawks and 40 large Shermans in the forest, cutting a trail splitting at the end, one side going up till the top of the hill, the other going down through a nice area of forest, with sparse understory and large trees. Bait is banana and goiabada or peanut butter. We are setting up traps on the trees whenever possible. We'll stay here for a week. 16 August Yesterday we set up more 40 traps: 20 Toma- hawks and 20 small (MNFS series) Shermans, contin- ing the trapline, through the area of nice forest.
