March 29, 1927 at evening on march 29 a native boy brought no 12739 to me. he having caught it with dogs over its mangol trees and roots where their are many coon tracks the roots are very thick and soft mud under neath making it almost impossible to get through. March 31, 1927 I and boy took boat and went up the laguna for miles but never saw any thing. But on return ing we saw five coons in traps & roots of the five I got three no 12740 was shot on an old fallen tree near water edge from boat. No 12741 was shot on a small sand bar, when first seen it was in very thick roots, so I squeered like a tree bird and it came out on the sand bar where I shot it. no 12742 was shot near water edge a short distance from no/12741 these females have six teats three on each side. April 1. 1927 we again took boat and went along edge of trees and shot no/127403 a female it was in roots when shot, when first seen we was going to fast and could not shoot it. So had to return it just set their and watched us did not seemed to be afraid of our light. also saw a small opossum but it got away before we could get to it.
