few with ten to twelve feet aerial roots, and plants with large lily like leaves take the place of colol palms which grow farther up along the streams. Along the streams and in the swamp are paths in the soft black mud - made by Agoutis (Dasy procta) ) and Pacas (Cuniculus ), In most of the jungle along the canela trail the colol palms are so thick that one cannot see far into it. It is in these colol palms and in the canela trail where one sees the Pink-bellied Opossums commonly at night. The colol palms are covered from top to bottom with needle like thorns and every large mammal that one collects in this region has its feet full of thorns. There is much second growth farther back along the trail toward the village. This brush is probably about twenty to thirty feet high dense, and in many parts tangled with vines. Much of this second growth is cleared away a second time, here grass springs up and thus the natives provide pasture for their cattle. In these clearings one frequently shines deer (Odocoiles ) at night with a hunting lamp. At the north end east corner of the village is a banana grove where the canela trail begins.
