1927 P, 14 Los Esesmiles, Dept, Chalatenango, Salvador February 9, 1927 - Two Reithrodontomys, Nos. 12486, and 12487, were caught at an altitude of 7500 feet in thick grass about knee high. This place was on the east side of the mountain and is what I have spoken to as a cleared pine region. I didn't find as many signs of mice in the grass as I had suggested. Other Reithrodontomys taken today, Nos. 12488, 12489, 12490, and 12491, were taken on the trapline near camp along the brushy banks of a stream. Two Conepatus, Nos. 12492 and 12493, were caught in the rain forest. This morning I found that one of my gopher traps had apparently made a catch and some carnivorous [illegible] came along and dragged away gopher traps and all. The tracks in the soft dirt were rounded and cat-like, & I judge they were about as large as a half dollar. A squirrel, Sciurus deppei, was frightened from the ferns, but we were unable to get a shot at it.
