1927 P.31 Los Esesmiles, Dept, Chalatenango, Salvador predatory animals. On the north slope in the rain forest a Sciurus deppei, No. 12609, was cought in a large sap trap which I had set under a log. February 24, 1927- The third Spilogale, No. 12622, was taken in the trap on the east slope. Two more of the interesting mice, which I assume to be Oryzomys, were caught at the very waters edge of the little mountain stream on the north slope, Nos. 12616 and 12618. There as well as Rheomys may be well considered rare for the region since I had many traps setting in and at the edge of that stream. The appearance of the stomach content would lead me to think that these mice eat tender roots and fresh sprouts. Yesterday more attempts were made to catch Cryptotis but traps today showed no results. The trapline was taken from the north slope today,
