1927 P.19 Los Esesmiles, Dept, Chalatenango, Salvador walking along a well used trail we heard a noise like some small animal climbing a tree. I stepped into the brush with my light and my companion stayed in the trail. A minute or two later he fired and a Didelphis mesamericanus , No. 12500 fell to the ground. We hunted until one thirty then returned to the little pole hut and spent a cold sleepless night lying on the ground rolled in our blankets. Yesterday I strung another trapline through the rain forest. D.Scotinomys, D.Tynmys, No. 12497, was taken in a small snaptrap that ran under a damp rotten log. Heteromys, No. 12498, was caught under a large plant cored log beneath which I found dry dirt, and it was there that I set the trap. Peromyscus, No. 12499, was taken on the old trapline. On the trapline near camp, Peromyscus, No. 12496, was caught where No. 12473 was taken three days ago. Two Reithrodontomys were taken also, Nos. 1249H and 12495.
