1927 P.24 Los Eses miles, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador brush. This specimen was taken not more than onehundred feet from where No. 12528 was trapped yesterday. Our native assistant caught a small immature mouse in the heavy oak rain forest near the Honduras Salvador border. He saw it in the day time and caught it with his hands. For want of a better name and of description to lead to better identification I am calling it Oryzomys caliginosus No. 12535. February 16, 1927- Part of my old trap line which I had not removed had two mice today. Pitymys (Scotinomy) No. 12536, was taken where No. 12514 was caught. This makes several taken in the same set. Reithrodontomys, No. 12537, was caught under grass in the cleared pine region; Sciurus deppei was caught in a steel trap which I had set in the oak rain forest under a large log.
