Hos Eses miles, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador
February 11, 1927- A Scotinomys
No. 12502, was caught in a set
similar to many others where
these mice have been found.
Of the many attempts which I
have made to catch shrews, the
only mammal which I have caught
in the traps were these supposedly
Scotinomys
Pitymys. Heteromys, No. 12503, was
taken where No. 12498 was
catched yesterday. Reithrodonomys
Nos. 12504 and 12505, were caught
in a stripped corn field in an
old gopher run which had
been broken in in several
places. Three Reithrodontomys, Nos.
12508, 12509, and 12510 were caught
along the brushy stream bank
near camp. Peromyscus, Nos. 12506 and
12507, were caught near the
water's edge of one of the streams
near camp. Both traps were
set by some rocks and under
vines. Today the house boy
brought to me two house mice,
and a black rat. Mus musculus
No. 12511 was put up.
