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.
