February 7, 1927 - Another Scotinomys pitymys was caught in the rotten log where No. 12430 was caught.
This makes three mice taken in this set. The number of the one taken today was 12467. Two others No. 12466 and No. 12468 were caught in the same region.
Reithrodontomys No. 12469 taken by a small hole in the moss among the ferns and brush makes the second taken at that altitude - 8000 feet. An immature Heteromys No. 12476 was taken in a small snap trap which had been set under a rotten log near a large stump. There was dry dirt where the trap was set as the spot was well sheltered. Heteromys 12477 an adult male was also taken in the rain forest today.
Yesterday in this region I made several bait sets with bird bodies for small Carnivores. One No. 0 steel jump trap which I had set under a log and had baited with a robin caught Spilogale No. 12478. The trap line near camp today turned out Reithrodontomys Nos. 12474, 12471, and 12475. Peromyscus No. 12473, and Sigmodon No. 12472.
