February 18, 1927- A long
tramp over the mountain today
looked me to a well filled
trapline for tropical collecting.
Oryzomys obliginosis, No. 12542, was
taken under the end of a cotton
log, among the trees on the upper
canyon slope but at a lower altitude.
Two Scotinomys, Nos. 12543 and [illegible] 12544,
were taken at the same altitude in
similar sets. Peromyscus, Nos. 12545
to 12549 inclusive, Nos. 12551 to 12554
inclusive, and Nos. 12556 to 12558
inclusive representing two species
were taken from one end of the
trapline to the other, under logs,
tree roots, and moss and ferns. One
specimen was eaten by some
prowling animal. Heteromys, Nos
12559, 12560, and 12561 were under
logs and tree roots near the stream
and higher along the slope. An
immature Sciurus deppei, No. 12555,
was caught under a large log
in a snap trap baited with
oatmeal. Reithrodontomys, No. 12550,
was caught in the cleared
pine region where I had left
some traps.
February 19, 1927- was spent
at camp putting up specimens.
