stein, B.R. 1988 3 Aug able to check them until tomorrow! Am tissue and pickling this mornings' bats + rat + the Beijing snake. 4 Aug. Caught a small Anolis-type lizard in the lab last nite. Tried to tissue it but there just wasn't much there. This a.m. we were taken to our first area of primary forest - back out along the road we came in on, b.twn. Km. marker 51+52. A really nice area; spent about 1½ hr. walking the trail. After lunch it was to primary forest area #2 - about 2 km. down the road as it continues past the the entrance to the Institute. Also a nice area, but muddier. Spent about 1¾ hr. going along the trail - this time we brot some traps; set up a mist net. Not too many as we weren't sure what the area was like. We finished up at 4:00pm. Everyone else was ready to go back but Chris + I took 30 traps + went back + set them in area #1. It took only 1¾ hr. Both areas had streams but were relatively dry for rainforest. Have had no rain since we arrived + this is supposed to be monsoon season. Saw what was tentatively ID'd as civet scat in area #1 - that area has lots more fruiting trees than area #2. Chris claims to have seen a squirrel + 2 "rats" scampering in the trees in area #2. Both have dense vegetation, the latter w/ periodic small clearings +
