Mustangi, MEIKA A. 1992 Journal D Fazenda Intervales - SP Brazil 17 July (Fri) We left São Paulo heading for the Fazenda Intervales, a State reserve close to the border with the State of Paraná. We are: Nicoletta Moracchiole, Maia Victoria F. Thompson, and myself. From São Paulo to Intervales one takes, Rodovia Castelo Branco (SP 280) and turns on SP-127 (or 129), which is the exit to Tatuí/Itapetininga. SP 127 links Sorocaba and Capão Bonito. From Capão Bonito there is a paved road to Ribeirão Grande, and then a 25km stretch of, unpaved road to the headquarters of Intervales. The whole drive takes about 4 hours. Fazenda Intervales is managed by the Fundação Florestal and activities in the reserve include research and ecotourism. It has an area of 38 000 ha and links 3 other parks: Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira (PETAR), Parque Estadual de Carlos Botelho, and Reserva Estadual do Xitue, summing up to 120,000 ha. A car brought Jair Paiva (monitor) and myself to the Carmo Station. Nicoletta and M. Victoria stayed at the headquarters. The Carmo Station is 10km away, in an area of primary growth forest. There is a group of 25 Brachyteles arachnoides, here. This station is reserved for researchers only. Tourists may stay at the head- quarters, at Barra Grande, or at Saibadela. Beside, the road, there are 3 trails: Carmo Acima (parallels the Carmo River, 3 km long); Figueira (4 km); and

Mustaungi, Meika A. 1992 Journal (2) Fazenda Intervales - SP Brazil Rancho Queimado trail (10km, but not kept clean). The house lies by the Carmo River. There is no electricity. We are supplied with food and basic needs (gas, etc.), there is no fee whatsoever for researchers. In return for the use of these resources, we train the monitors in our expertise, report our results to the Fundação Florestal, donate copies of slide, etc.. After we unpacked, we went for a walk along the Carmo Acima trail and then along the road. We didn't see a creature. We set 2 Tom by the river. I brought 75 Tomahawks traps and 125 Shermaus. For bait I bought oatmeal, raisins and peanut (raw) in São Paulo, and lot of bananas in Capão Bonito. I set a Sherman on the floor in the kitchen. 18 July (Sat.) We caught an Oryzomys in the Sherman in the kitchen. I'm keeping it alive in a Tomahawk. The 2 Tomahawks by the river were open and w/ food, we set 110 traps (45 Tom + 65 Shermaus) on the Carmo Acima trail (± 2km stretch). All traps are set up in the trees (1.5m - 2.5m high), except for the last 2 Tomahawks, that were set on the ground, and a few traps that were set on fallen logs, Today's bait: bananas smashed with oatmeal, raisins and peanuts. We use small bungee cords to tie the

mostrangai, meika A. 1992 journal 4 Fazenda Intervaler - SP Brazil In the afternoon we set 22 Tomahawns and 38 Shermans on Figueira Trail. The 2 traps by the Carmo River were open, w/ food. 20 July (Mon) Tomahawns by the river empty again. It's a bit surprising since there's a lot of 'good habitat'. (=bambu zal). Bait (banana smashed w/ oatmeal) hadn't been replaced since 1st night. Today I removed both traps. We caught an Akodon in the Sherman at home (baits banana). Carmo Acima traps : ① Delomys dorsalis (Tom 44) on the ground. Trap was, dragged for ½ meter from place where it had been set. Jair thinks a hawk tried to get to the mouse. It was wounded on right shoulder. (this is the same place where we caught the Proechimys dying yesterday). Bait on Carmo Acima trap was, already 2 days old. We replaced it for every trap today, same bait a, before (banana smashed w/ raisins, and peanuts and oatmeal). Last night and early this morning I managed to revive some animals that were too cold. But some died later. → by putting them close to wood stove

The weather warmed up (25°C at noon, as opposed to 20°C on the last days; and 12°C inside the house as opposed to 8°C). The animals are all fine, except for the Marmosops and Delomys that were not well already yesterday. A Gracilinus caught yesterday (so small it can escape through the Tomahawk wire mesh!) was too cold at night (was outside blanket), started to revive w/ hot water but eventually died. Marmosops and Delomys were dead in the morning. Carno Acima: We [illegible] put (not replaced, just added) banana to all traps. ① Didelphis (Tom 103) (Whitish type) It is too small for this trap! Was wounded on the head. was sleeping when we got there. We released it. ② Marmosops (MNFS 3) bambozal, 1.6m alt.

Its ability to climb up/down vertical surface is really something. It accepted a banana from me. 2 Rhipidomys escaped too. They couldn't climb down the same path that the Micoureus did. All 3 were caught and put back in bass.

We took BR 101, Rio-Santos road, that wind, beautifully along the coast. We arrived on the island at 5:00 pm, 6.5 hours of drive. The day was sunny, what made it a very pleasant drive. As soon as we crossed the border between the State of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, we noticed an increase (significant) in the amount of forest (Atlantic tropical rainforest) left close to the road. It is probably due to the 'Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar', in São Paulo. In São Sebastião one takes the 15' ferry- boat to Ilhabela. We found Luis Felipe (director of Museu de Zoologia - USP) Ferreira Brandão, Dr. Vanzolini's nephew, that lives here. He recommended 'Pousada da Kanoa', that lies close to the park. He also gave good suggestions about places to collect. Tomorrow we will go to meet 'Chico' = Secretário do Meio Ambiente of Ilhabela, We brought 300 traps (between Tomahawks and Shermans). We'll select a place and start setting up traps as early as we can tomorrow.

Mustangi, Meika A. 1992 Journal 14 Ilha de São Sebastião - SP Brazil Ilhabela is the little town on the Island of São Sebastião. São Sebastião (city) lies on the continent, across the canal. The island is mostly primary forest probably due to the fact that there is only one road, unpaved, (Estrada de Castellanos) that crosses the island. The population on the island, including most tourists, stays on the continental side, on a narrow stretch of land. (80% of the island in the State Park). Altitude varies from 0m to 1379 m (São Sebastião Peak). There are some old trails cut in the forest. There is no accommodations for researchers. Luis Felipe told us that poaching is very common, and the inhabitants hunt mammals and birds for play and food. The State Park was founded in 1977. The island is the biggest marine island along Brazilian coast, w/ 33000 ha. 05 August (Wed), François Sebroeck We went to meet "Chico", Secretário do Meio Ambiente in Ilhabela. He lives at Fazenda da Toca, on Estrada de Castellanos. He offered that we set up our traps in his property. We would be safer than in the State Park, he said. Most of the area is forest.

We set 106 traps, among Shermans and Tomahawns, in the following way: every station has, 1 Sherman and 1 Tomahawn on the ground, and 1 Sherman up in the trees. Some stations have an extra Tomahawn up in the trees. Tree traps are set at ± 1.8m high, with bungee cords. The forest is not very tall (canopy) and most trees are very thin in diameter. The understory is reasonably dense. We started setting up traps late, after talking to many people in the morning. We put these 106 traps in ± 2 hours. Bait was, a slice of banana or manioc smeared with peanut tutter and sometime, (1/3 or 1/2 of all Sherman traps) a piece of chicken (left overs). The 106 were set along a trail, on an approximately 1 km-stretch. Márcia found a frog (4.5cm long) on the litter and we collected it (MAN 52). It was preserved in alcohol 70%. After talking to Chico in the morning we went to talk to Sen Ademar (following Chico's recommendation). He knows a lot about the animals on the island, it seems.

There are some old banana plantations along the trail, and in some parts the forest looks really zany, with only thin and short trees. But in some other area, the trees, in general are bigger and the understory less dense. We heard from the locals that there are lots of 'little rat' and jaguatirica (Felis pardalis) around. Today we saw a small squirrel, just by our Tomahawn #1, at the beginning of the trail. "Marquinho" The guy that takes care of the bar at the Fazenda, has been helping us in carrying the bundle of trap across the river (just down from the falls 'Cachoeira da Toca' that gives the name to the farm). People in general are extremely nice here on the island. We set 32 more Tomahawns (now there are 72 set) and 57 Shermans (now they are 123 set). In the 106 we set yesterday we caught: 8 Proechimys (on the ground or on logs, fallen); 2 Philander (one of them a small one in a Sherman!); 1 Monodelphis americana with the 3 dark stripe along its back; and 2 Oryzomys. Nothing was caught in the traps set up in the trees! I was certainly disappointed.

Since Instituto Florestal has not authorized collecting, we will collect for prof. Miguel Treffaut Rodrigues (USP- São Paulo) that has a project authorized at IF. It rained during the day, and is raining again at night. 13 August (Thursday) Núcleo de Picinguaba was a farm [illegible] in the past. Picinguaba means retreat of fish in tupi guarani. There is a village of fishermen, with ca. 100 families, that dates from the last century. The núcleo has 8000 ha and is unique as a park in SPaulo bc. is begins at altitude 0 (zero) and goes up till 1300m, so that it includes habitats like mangrove and restinga (the other state parks begin at 100 or 200 m altitude).

He said that some marmosa-like little animals are very commgn around here. I set up 7 traps around the Pousada (3 'Rui's' and 4 Shermaus), all up in the trees. 14 August (Friday) We caught a Rattus in a "Rui" (Brazilian trap similar to a Tomahawn) put on the wall that separates the pousada from the neighbour.(± 1.8 m alt.). We caught nothing else in the 6 other traps set with banana and/or apple. In the 40 traps set up yesterday in the hill we caught a Didelphis, that was, released. He stayed in the trap for some time maybe not noticing that it was open. When it finally left the trap, it stayed gaping at us, and moving its head from side to to side (measuring us?). We set up the 20 Shermans up in the trees, completing 60 in that trail. It seems that a dog had sniffed at most of the traps set yesterday bc they were turned on their side, sometimes closed and even dragged from its original place. We saw a Sciurus running along the branches up in the trees.

Tom 72 was stolen from the trail at Fazenda da Toca. One Tomahawk was left on Carmo Aima Trail at Fazenda Intervalley (Tom 11). João, the owner of the pousada, took us to the creek that serves the area with water and there we set our traps today. The forest is older than on the hill where we put traps yesterday. We cut a trail through the forest, going up. Bait again was banana, manioc, peanut butter (only Tomahawks) and some apple left over from yesterday. João said that saruê, a Marmosa-like creature is common around here. The description looks like Micoureus cinereus. The weather remains stable, temperature around 20°C, sky partially cloudy. It rained a little bit in the afternoon. This is the driest time of the year in this region.

In total, we set 120 traps (with stations with 3 traps as described before) and kept them open for 4 nights, totalling 480 trapnights. We caught 2, 6, 6 and 2 individuals (plus 1 Akodon that escaped from a Tomahawk), making 3.5% trapping success. Both number of individuals and number of species were lower than last year. Proechimys seems to be high in juvenals at this time, from what our captures show. We tanyotyped 2 Proechimys, 1 Akodon and 2 Oryzomys. João de Vincenzo (Pousada da Praia do Félix) says he has seen a small opossum (Marmo- sep?) near his house. Altitude here varies from 50m to 250m (our highest trapping station). A young individual of Proechimys, that was brought kept in a trap, vocalized a lot in the morning and was taped. The Metachirus male also vocalized, w/ a mixture of hissing, and teeth chattering.

The Metachirus individual, male, had a dark area on its abdomen, more or less where the marsupial would be in a female of a species with marsupium. I had never seen a male w/ such a stained, pigmen- ted skin area on its belly before. I found no gular gland on this male.

The reserve has aprox. 100 ha and lies within a larger reserve that belongs to SABESP/DAE (= dep de águas e esgotos), of aprox 16,500 ha. It includes the drainage of Rio Claro and the headwater of Rio Guaratuba. Rio Claro is the first affluent of significant size of Rio Tietê. Rio Guaratuba flows down the coastal range towards the Atlantic Ocean. The reserve protects water reservoirs that collect water drinking for the region of the city of São Paulo. E.B. Boracuia lies less than 1 km away from the scarp and 14 km away from the sea, at 850 m elevation. E.B.B. was cited in 1954 as such, before it was a place for growing guineiras (for quinin), since 1938. See Travassos-Filho and Camargo, 1958 in Arg. Zool. Est. S.Paulo 2(1): 1-21 for more information about the reserve and research done there. There are 2 park rangers: Séu Firmino and Antônio, that have been living there for 20 and 10 years respectively. We stayed at the researchers' house. There is a separate building for lab work. Boracuia is one of the most moist places in South America, with annual precipitation about/around 4000 mm.

We started without moon, but and night of clouded sky, but the last days of our stay had nights of bright moonlight (almost full moon). According to information collected by Antonio at the SABESP meteorological station the coldest months here are from June to August or September and the warmest from October to February. Rainy season is from December till January and dry season from October to December. We set traps in stations 20m apart along two trails: "trilha do divisor marítimo" and "trilha da cachoeira dos pilões". The first is dryer, the second goes near the river and even crosses a little creek. Stations had 1 Tomahawk and 1 Sherman on the ground and 1 Sherman trap on a branch, at 2m above ground. As bait we used banana, oatmeal mixed w/ codfish oil and oatmeal mixed with sardine (canned) for the last 2 days. We also had traps along the forest edge on the way to trilha da cachoeira dos pilões.

Of all arboreal traps, we had only 2 captures: 1 Rhipidomys and 1 Oryzomys (the latter showing/accomplishing quite a remarkable climbing feat). Besides taking tissue (liver and kidney) in alcohol and liquid nitrogen for all individuals, we prepared chromosome material (frozen) for Akodon, Oryzomys and Rhipidomys. "tovagininha" (bird) fell 4 times in Tomahawk traps. Didelphis, both black and gray morphs, visited our traps (according to Antonio they are not common in Boracéia) and were trapped 4 times, on 3 different days. They (or another animal?) messed up with some other traps without being caught inside. On two occasions traps were carried far away from their original place, one of them we never found (a Sherman).

A Delomys (probably) was also found dead and half eaten in another Tomahawk. One of the 'tovaqui- nhas' was also found dead, and the Tomahawk 10m away from its original place. One Sherman had one of its walls torn, as if an animal had tried to tear it open at one of the doors, there was no captured animal inside it when we found it. A male and female of Oryzomys were found trapped together in the same Tomahawk. The female was death, but the male seemed fine. Along the forest edge we caught only 2 individuals: 1 Oryzomys and 1 Akodon (out of 15x5 = 75 trap- nights there). Antonio caught 2 Oligoryzomy< in- side his house. Trapping success amounted to 87/135x5 = 13%, quite high, but diversity was lower than expected. We didn't get Marmosops incanus, of which Brea Patterson caught 5 individuals here last year, in the same month! I would like to return in "new moon" and try trapping again. Proechimys is not so common here, as in Ubatuba (Fund. capicóniu) and on São Sebastião Island. Ory- zomys and Delomys are by far the most common animals, according to trapping results.

Mustang, Meika A. 1953 journal 33 E.B. Boracéia-SP A Philander killed and ate an Oryzomys in the lab. They were being kept in the same case because of space limitations and the Philander, still young individual broke the separation and got the mouse. It ate the head and the hindquarters of the mouse leaving the guts exposed. Akodon and Delomys seem very keen on gnawing their way out through cloth and cardboard. Owl pellets were collected at its night site (sleeping) just after our last trap station on trilha da cachoeira dos pilões. It was probably the predator of some of our attacked traps. On the way to the reserve we found a male Philander run over on the road. We took pictures. It looked like it had been hit on the head. Oryzomys and Delomys comprised most of our captures.

The ranch is quite small ( ). The house is surrounded by a 30-40 yr-old forest, that Seu Antônio proudly preserves. He says that one can see many animals (birds and small mammals) in this little forest. The zan forest extends, in the neighbouring properties. There is no flowing water inside Seu Antônio's area, but it probably emerges at some point nearby. The area where the ranch lies has a few natural/ dammed pools (= "açudes"). Ricardo Boulhosa came with me and stayed for a couple of days. We set up 20 station, w/ the usual 1 Tomahawk and 1 Sherman on the ground and 1 Sherman tied to a branch at 1.5-2.0m. A bait I used guava preserve ("goiabada") and mortadela (kind of sausage).

Diversity of species was relatively high, including species not so commonly trapped like Monodelphis of americana and Caluromys philander. Caluromys philander individual is a female and is being kept live. Her tail was broken by Sherman trap door.

The island is 80% a State Park, which the director is Fábio Olmo, who got his Masters a couple of years ago at UNICAMP. Fábio is an eclectic ecologist, specialist on birds, but also interested in mammals, etc... He invited us to the island and accompanied us everyday, all day long in our daily activities. According to Fábio there is a big diversity of forest "type" on the island. not only because of the varied topography from 0 - 1300 m (Pico de São Sebastião) but also because (probably) of rain shadow effects.

At the 200m trail we crossed a river. At the 200m elev. trail we also set up 5 kill traps (museum specials) with alternating goiabada and mortadela. Temperature remained warm days and nights: 20-22°C during the day and 14-17°C at night, during our stay (4 days trapping, as usual). On the night when we arrived at the island the weather was rain and heavy mist, but the following morning it cleared to a blue sky and warm temperatures and stayed like that till the end. The moon turned full during our stay, and since the 1st night was very bright and came out quite early (at sunset).

Mustangi, Meika A. 1993 journal 38 P.E. Ilhabela - SP On the first day, we captured 6 Philander at 650m, the highest density I've ever observed. Chawaeza spp (Aves: Formicariidae), "tovaca" were trapped quite frequently at that site too. One was attacked and killed inside the trap. We caught Oryzomys at 200m but interestingly, not at 650m. Proechimys also showed an interesting pattern with only big, adult individuals being collected at 650m and only juvenals collected at 200m. The Proechimys captured at 650m seemed particularly large and red ("castanho") to me. It would be interesting to find out that there are 2 species on the island, separated altitudinally. The Philander individuals so far collected on the island also look different from Philander opossum from the mainland to me. We found some bean-shaped, 1cm long, seeds gnawed on by some mouse, which we collected for identification. The only list of mammals for the island is by Wunderwahlt (1929) and includes: Caluromys philander, Marmosa murina (!), Sciurus ingravii, Oryzomys nigripes, Oxymycterus, hispidus, Holochilus brasiliensis, Nelomys thomasi and Proechimys iheringi (type local-

We stayed at the researchers' house in the Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia, 8 km south, by road, of the town. It has 590 ha in area. We set up 40 Tomahawk traps along the main trail, which goes along the river Tibuí and bordering the forest. Many tree and ground bromeliads with colourful and varable flowers abound. Hummingbirds and orchids are also quite striking there. Traps remained open for two nights. As bait we used banana, goiabada and peanut butter. Besides the two animals collected, we also captured one lactating Metachirus and 2 Philan- der: an old male and a female with her pouch full of young.

I set up traps in two "reserves": M-7 and reserva da Grotá. The Fundação Biodiversitas did an inventory of the small mammals in the Aracruz reserves in July of 1992, as part of their general inventory for the entire Atlantic Forest. They reported Marmosops incanus only from the M-7 reserve. So I set up 30 stations along a trail there. Stations with traps, as usual: 1 Sherman + 1 Tomahawk on the ground and 1 Sherman on the tree. Reserva da Grotá, by their report also, had the highest diversity, and was also the only one where Proechimys was captured. So I set up 10 stations there. It hadn't started raining yet this year so the forest at both sites were quite dry. M-7 may not have a creek within it area, or it was some ways from the trail along which we worked.

Mustangri, Meika A. 1993 journal 56 Fazenda Intervales (base do Carmo) 10%. trapping success. Intervales (Base do Carmo) - 1994 July 12 Jim, Carol and I arrived here in Carmo around 5 pm, after around 4-5 hour of driving from SPaulo. This is the 1st site, out of 3, for this winter '94 season. The 3 sites (Intuvale, and Boraceia for sure, Teusópolis probably) are places of sympatry for the 2 species of Masmosops. I've been in Carmo in 1992-winter and then I trapped 1 individual of the Northern and several individuals of the southern species. Liége Petroui, doing a PhD with Brachyteles, Maurício Simouetti, photographer, and his assistant Claudio [illegible] were here in Carmo spending a couple of days to photograph the muriqui (woolly spider monkey) and plants. Luis a monitor from Intervale, is with them. Jair, who worked w/ me here in 1992 came with us. We went for a walk along the road and later set up 10 traps, Tomahawks. 5 along the Carmo Acima trail and 5 just outside the kitchen and till the river do Carmo, which runs near the house. If the thermometer outside is correct,

Mustangi, Meika A. 1994 Journal 57 Intervales (Base do Carmo) last night it was 13°C minimum. Last night we checked the traps at around 10 o'clock and got a Philander ? in a trap near the river (on the margin rocks). This morning we found a small (young?) Nectomys in the trap just outside the kitchen. July 13 Jim and Carol set up 20 Tomahawks and 33 Shermans along the Carmo Atima trail, one third up on V branches and bamboos. Jair and I set up 29 Tomahawks and 29 Shermans, actually, minus 2 Tom and 5 Sher for which we had no more bait, along the Figueira trail. We all used banana, manioc and peanut butter as bait. Jair and I set up half the traps up on the trees (at 2m from the ground, more or less) and the rest on the traps on the ground. We photographed the Philander and Nectomys with Mauricio, on a set up w/ leave and rock inside the house. I went to watch the soccer game w/ Mauricio and Claudine and Vége at the reserve's Headquarter at night: 1 x 0 Brazil and Sweden. July 14 Jair and I set up the remaining 20 new long Shermans at the end of the Figueira trail trapline. Yesterday we set up 10 + 10

Mustangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 58 Fazenda Intervale, (base do Carmo) rat snaptrap (Victor) and new, long Sherman traps along a short trail along the Lajiado river, which flows to the Carmo river, near the house. Jim + Carol set up 10 long Shermans plus 38 rat traps, in 3 places off the road. Today we added ground left over of meat w/ bacon in some trap as bait. We caught 1 Delomys in long Sherman in trilha rio Lajiado. 1 Sciurus in Tomahawk on bamboo crossing the trail and 3 Akodon in trilha Figueira. Jim and Carol caught 3 Mammosops, all up in the trees; 2 Oxymycterus, many Akodon, couple Oryzomys and Oligory- zomys and another Nectomys. We all caught a few Chamaraza (probably) in Tomahawk on the ground. 1 Oxymycterus and 1 Oligoryzomys capped from cloth bags. Jul 15 1 Oxymycterus in Tomahawk in grassy area in front of the house. 1 more Delomys in trilha along rio Lajiado. 1 Oryzomys, many Akodon, 1 Mammosops in trilha Figueira. Jim and Carol caught many more animals, totalling 35 specimens today. As, yesterday, we karyotyped representative individual for several taxa of rodents. Jul 16

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.

Mustiangi, Meika A. 1994 60 journal Fazenda Intervales (base do Carmo) Another Marmosopr along a bamboo. Nectomys near the house. Oxymycterus seems to be common in grassy fields than in the forest. We are catching animals w/ different pelages. (maybe 2 different species?). We are catching adult and young individuals of Oxymycterus and Oryzomys (at least for these there is clear distinction between individual body size). Trapping success has been declining. Jim has been changing some traps to new places, further down along the trail. O. ratticeps was caught on bamboo, approx. 1.5m from ground. 19 July 1994. We released around 5 Akodon (not nigrita) on Figueira trail. We brought two Akodon back, one I think is a nigrita, the other a young individual of the larger species. Caught nothing on trail along Rio Lajeado again. 1 Delomys near the house, 1 more Oxymycterus in grassy area in front of the house. Today we caught 1 Micoureus and 1 Gracilinus on bamboo in Figueira trail. Jim caught a ♀ Monodelphis, very small and with 3 dark stripes. Marmosopr show salmon. pinkish colour on ventral hairs, probably a fugitive colours.

Nustrangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 61 Fazenda Intewales (base do Carmo) We karyotyped 2 Akodon and 2 Delomys. Luis, monitor from Intewales, Nani manager of the lodging in Intewales, came to visit and brought people to clean up The house! Luis stayed overnight and was a nice break from our same 4 people routine. Nani is new at Intewales, is very friendly and was totally helpful, asking if we needed any- things. 20 July 1994 Luis stayed with us and this morning walked up the Trail to check traps. Trapping success is really going down. Today we caught 7 animals, plus 6 Akodon we released on Figuira trail. I karyotyped 1 Orizony's and 1 Delomys. Overall trapping success was Day were sunny and warm till one day before last, when a new cold spill brought some rain. Trapping success went down from 30 animals, per day to less than 20, out of 190 trap. Snaptraps seem to have a higher success. We stopped using the ground meat + bacon as bait because it was going bad and didn't seem to be attracting animals that much.

Mustrangi, Meika A. 1994 Journal 62 E. B. Boracéia Estação Biológica de Boracéia 27 July 1994 Jim, Carol, Gustavo Acaccio and I anived here yesterday. The reserve is 1 hour (highway) + 1 hour (dirt road) away from São Paulo. We set up all live traps: 60 small Shermaus, 59 Tomahawks, 40 large Shermaus. Jim + Carol also set up 24 snaptraps. Seu Firmino, the care- taker helped us choosing places and setting up traps. Jim + Carol set up traps on trilha dos Pilões, downhill, in front of the researchers' house, and on the crest trail (along the crest of the scarpment), which runs behind the house. Gustavo and I walked up the road and set up traps along the trail that takes to Poco Verde and also in several places along the road, as short transecte (5 stations) into the forest. Weather is really nice, sunny, blue sky, not hot though. It's chilly at night. I have been here twice or three times and have never seen a non-foggy Boracéia

Mustangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 63 E. B. Boraceia 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. 29 July Léo (Leonora Costa) and Yuri Leite arrived today to spend Jim's last two

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.

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.

Mustangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 66 E. B. Boracéia Gustavo photographed Gracilinanus and Philander. 6 August The cold spell has stationed here, bringing with it lots of rain. It is cold and rains both during the night and during the day. The sun comes out every now and then but the clouds are not gone for very long. The forest which looked quite dry last week (all days of sunshine) is wet again. Some mice, specially Delomys, which happens to be the most abundant, show up death in the traps in the morning. Yesterday, after it rained a lot at night, and was, very cold (5°C), we caught 31 animals in 159 traps! 2 more Rhipidomys, which were also kayotyped! Alexandre, who reset the traps along trilha dos Pilões, caught 1 ♀ Mammoso?—, but so far all the other individuals (all Northern species) were caught on trapline along the road. Today I found a Delomys in a Tomahawk, half eaten (posterior half). It had been pulled out of the trap through the mesh, only the head that wouldn't come through it. Sítio São José da Serra - RJ

Mustiangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 67 Sítio São José da Serra-RJ 14 August We left Boraceia on 7 August. I took 1 male and 2 female Marmosops- Northern species to Marta Swartman at USP for her karyological studies. It still rains in and out. So we never caught Marmosops- Southern species in Boraceia, despite catching several individuals of the N species. All of them were caught in forest groves. We caught none on trapline along the crest of the scarpment (trail that runs behind the house). This trip was a pretty successful mammal expedition. We spotted an otter (by the 'torre' = tower), saw Cebus crossing the trail ahead of us (5:30 pm, on trail along scarpment ridge) and drove behind a tapir on the road at night. Not to mention of course the many Marmosops and a few Gracilinanus and Rhidopomys and Oxymycterus, the latter unfortunately all in snaptraps, therefore dead and not prove for chromosome preparation. On my previous 2 trips to Boraceia I had never caught any mouse opossum. Today we are already at the farm in Serra dos Órgãos, an arm of the

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.

Muntrangi, Meika A. 1994 journal 69 Fazenda São José da Serra Yesterday we caught only 1 Mus musculus, and 1 Akodon ! The Akodon in the first trapline going towards a marshy area. The Mus at the beginning of our trapline, in the zary forest full of bamboo. Also, a Chamaera (bird). Today we caught 6 animals: 1 Akodon in the same marshy area; 1 Akodon nigrita 1 Marmosope, 2 Delomys sublineatus in the beginning of the trapline in zary bamboo-full forest, and 1 Echimys ! up near top of the hill. Marmosope and Echimys were both cought up in trees. We photographed the Marmosope, Southern species, and Akodon nigrita, and Kayotyped the A. nigita, 1 Delomys, the Marmosope and the Echimys. The Echimys had its skin on top of two head ripped off, from hitting the trap wire mesh. Today we set up 20 mou traps: small Shermans (MNFS series) on another trail in the same area of nice forest. 20 August We finished setting up the 160 traps (60 Toma- hawks, 60 small Shermans, and 40 large Shermans). We caught 1 more Marmosope, and many more Akodon nigita. We also caught 1 Proechimys. Beside mammals, we caught also in the traps many (one day we caught 5!) birds which

Mustangi, Miika A. 1994 journal 70 Fazenda São José da Sena Seu José identified as "trinca-ferro". We caught also Chamaeza, 1 hawk!, and 1 "inhambu". The Tomahawks were consistently having the bait stolen but not closing, even after I carefully worked on the trigger mechanism w/ pliers. We caught 1 Akodon while we were running through our traps. We checked the trap and it was empty, when we came back it had caught an Akodon. The days have been fine, a few days remained cloudy allday, but in general the sun comes out and warms it up. We've been having full moon for a few days. We've had a total of 980 trapnights along 7 nights. animals captured, totalling % trapping success.
