An adult female was caught by a torn-up corn husk under the weeds, No. 12312. This was the small compact near the heavy jungle. Liomys Nos. 12315, 12316, 12317 were taken in the same patch. Another Peromyscus No. 12313 was caught in the shady ravine near the young coffee at an altitude of 2500 feet. J.G. Clinton shot a bob (Artibeus) No. 12318 that flew out of the ravine this morning. Otylonyx No. 12314 was caught at the base of a leaning tree in dense jungle at an altitude of 1900 feet. While hunting at night along a dusty trail along the lower slope of the volcano I encountered Potos Nos. 12302, 12304, and 12305. Their eyes shined like red balls of fire from the trees at the trail side. All three specimens were taken in separate trees. Procyon No. 12301 was shot in a tree near the stream bed of a river in which most of the water had dried up.
