many lava rock boulders in
the dry stream bed over which
water in the wet season had
tumbled in its steep downward
course. It was from under
one of these lava rocks that
I flitshed a small bat. I
saw it fly under another rock
and succeeded in killing it
with my shot pistol. It proved
to be Monophylla No. 12265.

two more small bats but they

December 5, 1927 - I found
a large species of Peromyscus in my
traps today. Nos. 12268 to 12271 inclusive
were added to our collection. These
specimens were caught in a dense
shaded and deep ravine where I

under the heavy vegetation. On either
side of the water course, now dry,

were taken. On one side of this
ravine was virgin jungle while
on the other was young coffee. Nos.
12272 to 12275 inclusive were caught in
the young coffee. The traps were set
