back in the brush. While hunting along the upper edge of the mangroves last night we killed three Procyon cancrivorus. At the edge of the jungle we saw five Metachirops one which we caught with our hands.
April 4, 1927- Last night we saw five Metachirops while hunting. Our guns shattered the skulls of those we shot so we caught one with our hands. No. 4/752.
I have seen Metachirops tracks along the fresh water streams in the swamp forest as well as in the mangroves. Mr. van Rossem shot a Saccopteryx bilineata which he poked out of a hollow tree beyond the mangroves. The hair was slipping when he reached camp with it. Last night I saw bats flying about before our lamps.
