1927 R.14. Barra de Santiago, Dept., Ahuachapan, Salvador It was along this same path that our native assistant swears that he saw an ocelot, Felis, cross from the brush into the mangroves. We both hunted for three days in the brush gaps and open grazing land on the sandy island but shined no cats. While making our way down the tidal channel I shot another Procyon cancrivorus from the boat. It was perched up on the mangrove roots. April 15, 1927- Today we broke camp and prepared to leave which we did toward evening. Barra de Santiago a sand strown fishing village is located about about fifteen miles along the coast toward the Guatemala border. The clump of palm leaf roofed huts, representing so many fishermen homes, are partly shaded by a grove of cocoanut palms, which can be seen for miles towering above the thorny brush back
