1927
P.I.
Colima, Dept., Cuscatlan, Salvador
January 20, 1927- We arose
early to catch the six o'clock
train from San Salvador to
La Torba the station nearest
to Colima. At LaTorba we were
met and taken in an
automobile to the Colima hacienda.
Our equipment was delivered
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Not more than three hundred
yards north of the hacienda
house was the Rio Tempa
swift and deep in many places.
The river flowed between two
nearly perpendicular walls
of rocks perhaps seventy five
feet high. The river flat
in this region was very extensive.
To the east of the house was
a pasture, perhaps sixty acres,
and beyond were large
fields of sugar cane. In
other directions we found
the usual type of grazing land
so characteristic of the country.
This contained "quacht" trees and
carbon brush. I set snap traps
in a rock wall which
encircled a banana grove to
the north of the house. Scotinomys
No. 12367 was taken early in the
evening. Uroderma Nos. 12368 and 12369
were shot where they were found
hanging in the most shady places
