1927 Volcano Santa Ana, Dept., Santa Ana, Salvador May 12, 1927- The two Neotoma Nos. 12934 and 12935, were caught in the brush-like trees in the upper volcanic region. Although I set traps in many such place I was able to catch the Neotoma in only one bush. Peromyscus were taken in similar sets. I have seen no other association quite like this one. The trees look something like oaks and yet they are not. I think that upper volcanic region fits it better than any thing else. May 13, 1927- No more Neotoma. The rains are fierce. They spring my traps and wash the bait off. G.D.S. killed another Bassariscus No. 12944, last night. They are called Uthas by the natives. The animals make that sound at night in the jungle. May 14, 1927- An Orthogeomys and some Peromyscus was all I had today. I brought in my traps from the volcanos today.
