1927 P.9. Barra de Santiago, Dept, Ahuachapan, Salvador April 9, 1927 - Dasyprocta No. 12776, was shot today in the swamp forest region under the collol palms. Nearly every day while hunting for setting traplines in this region we have seen Agoutis. Sometimes they are hopping along through the dense palms where it is almost impossible to get a shot at them. Again they may be suddenly dumbled upon when they dash off through the brush with their familiar barks. There is much fruit on the collol palms now. I frequently have seen squirrels feeding there that dropped many of the little balls from the logbuch on which they were feeding. Also I have seen green mangos on the ground with the unmistakable marks of Agouti incisors on them. Agouti tracks are common along the fresh water streams in the swamp region. I shot a Saccopteryx bilineata in a hollow tree today among the collol palms while hunting for Agoutis.
