1927 P.3 Hacienda Chilata, Dept, Sonsonate, Salvador in the same ravine. A peculiar incident today was the catching of Sigmodon No.12813 in an old hollow log in the coffee region and I know of no Sigmodon association within to mile of the spot. April 22, 1927 - Another Reithrodonmys was caught in a tree in the coffee today. It must have gotten in the trap yesterday afternoon for badly decomposed and eaten by ants. The trap was still in the tree. Peromyscus, No. 12814, was caught where Nyctomys, No. 12809, was taken yesterday. Today, however the trap did not fall out of the tree and ants did some damage to the feet. Nyctomys, No.12815, was caught on the small branch where No.12810 was cought yesterday. Marmosa, No. 12816, was caught among hanged vines in the uncleared area on the hill top. I saw one squirrel, Sciurus while running my traps.
