August 9, 1925 - Today the conditions were as usual warm and clear in the morning and early afternoon and raining in the evening. The trap line was empty this morning. I shot two little brown bats in the canyon where I saw some a few days ago.
The bird collectors reported a band of spider-monkeys (Ateles). By recently questioning the native, I find that the names of the two fruits found in the spider monkey's (Ateles) stomach is jocote which is yellow and as large as a blue plum and another nanze which is light yellow and just the size and shape of a cherry. The later is found higher up the mountain side on relatively small trees while the former is found near the lake and the trees that I have seen were tall.
August 10, 1925 - Weather conditions the same as yesterday. There were four spiny-pocket mice (Heteromys) in the traps this morning. Three of which were so badly eaten by ants that I only saved their skeletons. Three were caught in the jungle in holes under rocks and the third was caught in some dead leaves in a ditch near the corn patch. A trap in this same place caught a mouse that looked very much like (Evotomys) but the skin was so badly eaten by ants
