1927 P.8 San Jose del Sacare, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador March 16, 1927- Oryzomys, 12/129, was caught in a large snap trap which I had set in water in a hole that led back under some roots. In this rocky stream, I should say, was a very unusual place for Oryzomys, since there was no vegetation near the water. The trap was not baited, for I had made sets along the stream for Rheomys. This evening I waited for bats in an open space near two large mango trees. No bats were seen. March 17, 1927- In my twenty five traps I had three Peromyscus this morning. One was destroyed and another partly destroyed by ants. I looked another long tramp today looking for signs of Neotoma and Stauromys. Nothing was seen. March 18, 1927- Early this morning I saw a Sciurus deppei which escaped. There was nothing in the traps this morning. Packing today.
