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.
