October 21, 1925 - Rained again today and most of the night. Near the top of the mountain Protectora at an altitude of 1200 feet I caught (10603) another white-bellied blue mouse. This trap was set in some grass and brush.
(10604) A kiomys was caught in a trap which had been set by a small hole for a week and hadn't been bothered.
(10605) At 850 feet I caught an Oryzomys and at 860 feet I caught another Blue-
(10606) tailed rat.
October 22, 1925 - Warm day no rain. Today we went to Encuentros again for bats. In a small strip of woods about 3 mi. S.E. of Encuentros we hunted for about an hour. I saw one squirrel (Gray-tailed squirrel). The front part or the part near the opening of the mine is full of "stokes" and shafts. In the foremost of these "stokes" was where we caught the Grand pa bats. (10610-10611-10612-10613 10614), also two Whiskered bats (10609), one of these escaped. The tunnel where we had the big net spread led straight back from the external opening and just past the first lateral tunnel where there were many stokes. We caught them one at a time by pulling the net down over them when they hit it. Farther back in the mine were other stokes there I shot two Brown-leaf nosed bats and saw many more.
