1927
R.S.
Hacienda Chilata, Dept, Sonsonate, Salvador
Small fruit seeds in the faeces
gave evidence of its fruit
eating habits.
April 27, 1927- The trapline
had three common Peromyscus and
an Ototylomys which was destroyed
by ants. West of the hacienda
house is a deep canyon bordered
at frequent intervals on
either side by perpendicular
lava rock cliffs. The clear
water in the stream flows
over rocks worn round and
smooth by erosion. It was
along these cliffs in semi-cave
or coves that we found more
specimens of the New Genus. They
were actually found in little
cup-like depressions where they
were concealed from out side.
We found three hanging on
the wall under some close clinging
vines. Saccopteryx were found
more in the open. We saw five.
