1927 El Tablon, Lake Guija, Dept, Santa Ana, Salvador May 27, 1927 - Last night it didn't rain again but I felt too "bum" to go out with the light. Jose did however and shot a Procyon and two Urocyon. One of the foxes was shot up so badly that it had to be throw away. He said that the fellow who was with him shot a deer but that it got away. I [illegible] I had only one Peromyscus this morning, and the ants had one of its ears. There was nothing in my traps. May 28, 1927 - Jose failed to get anything last night. I'd all my traps over one hundred I had only one Peromyscus and the ants got one of its ears. However Van Rossem saved the day for me by bringing in eight Rhynchiscus. These little beasts he found clinging to the under side of a willow Salix and over a stream of running water. Van Rossem saw a Canis coyote today at the edge of a clearing in the brush.
