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.
