leading through the weeds
show many tracks of Conepatus,
Spilogale, Melaschiropes, and Procyon,
and about some of the banana
clumps are old Gibber workings.
To the west of the banana grove
are many rubber trees.
Along the west end of
the grassy pasture are corn and
cane patches not far from the
upper tide flats. Natives report
that much of their corn in these
patches is taken by Raccoons.
When one walks along the high
tide flats many Procyon and Vasaia
tracks are seen where thousands
of tiny crabs scurry into their
holes in the salty mud. Most of
the ground covered by the high
tide is shaded by roof-like
rooted mangroves.
The flat country in
the district of Puerto del Triunfo
is obviously a slushy muddy
mess during the rainy season,
which is evidenced by the
deep wheel rutted and dusty
cameta trail leading from
Sigulisco, the nearest
railroad point.
