P.S.
Hacienda Chilala, Dept, Sonsonate, Salvador
were some evidences of the
passing of these rats. Bills
measured averaged four mm.
long.
April 24, 1927 - Last
night another Tylomys, No. 12827,
was caught at the base of
the large tree where one was
taken yesterday. This rat
was caught in a little pocket
or depression in the trunk.
Bills measured eight mm long.
Ototylomys, No. 12828, was caught
in the trap that caught
Marmosa, No. 12816. I heard the trap
snap while I was hunting
at night and made my way
up through the vines to it.
The trap that caught the two
Nyctomys and the Peromyscus was
carried and wouldn't spring.
Early this morning I saw an
adult Sciurus when it dropped
some green fruit out of a tree.
This was near where I saw a
squirrel a few days ago. Later
in the morning I saw these
two thirds grown Sciurus feeding
on leaves in a fence. When I
stood perfectly still they continue
to eat and paid no attention to me.
