1927 P.8. Barra de Santiago, Dept., Ahuachapan, Salvador April 7, 1927- Last night it rained for the first time since the dry season started, that is as far as our camping in the low country is concerned. We did not go hunting. Some native who went hunting in the swamp forest killed a doe which we brought. Odocoiles No. 12766. An Ototlyomys was destroyed by ants last night. April 8, 1927- Last night it rained again. We killed two Potos, Nos 12749 and 12770 which we heard screaming in the trees, then shined their eyes. I heard two deer in the brush but was unable to shine their eyes. Vampyrus, No. 12775, I found stunned and bleeding near where I had one of my large snap traps set in a tree. The trap was sprung and was lying on the ground. The trap had been baited with oatmeal for scansorial rats.
