1927 Colima, Dept, Cuscatlan, Salvador under banana leaves. During the evening our native assistant knocked down Rhoeƫssa No. 18366 as it flew along the corridor of the hacienda house. Another was knocked down but it escaped before he could catch it. January 21, 1927- A trap which I had set at the edge of some brush and a weedy field had a Sigmodon this morning, No. 18374. Yesterday I saw & Sigmodon running about under the weeds near where I placed my trap. It ran about very much like a young rabbit. Another Sigmodon was caught near here but the trap mined it for a specimen. The weedy field which I spoke of was an old beanfield. An Otyzomys No. 18375 - was cought in the rock fence or stone wall where I caught the Scotinomys yesterday. This wall was about four feet high and three feet wide. Uroderma Nos. 18376, 18377 and 18378 were shot in the banana grove today. A Centuro No. 18379 was knocked by our native helper on the house corridor this evening.
