successful. Nomys Nos. 12292, 12293,
12294, 12296, and 12297 were taken
in one of the small fields near
the heavy jungle. Nyctomys No 12291
was taken in a trap which
had been set on a leaning
tree in young coffee. This tree
was one of the many serving for
shade in the coffee region. The
first night a heavy twind blew
the trap out of the tree, the second
night it was not disturbed, and
the third night it caught this
specimen. It is possible that
this species feed on the fallen
coffee which is found about
under the bushes. Another trap
in the dense jungle and set in
vines at an altitude of 1900 feet
had the toil of a Nyctomys.
Ototyloms No. 12295 was caught in
a shady ravine at an altitude of
2500 feet. This raving has been
described in connection with
Peromyscus taken there.
