Puerto del Triunfo, Dept, Usulutan
Dec, 28, 1923 - Jan, 25, 1924
cottontail - Conejo
This species was encountered
by me only at night when would
see their eyes reflect before my light.
as compared to other mammals their
reflection was not so bright. No. 10935
was shot in a cow trail which led
off into a grassy pasture where there
were no trees. There were two but
second escaped into some tall grass
when I shot. No. 10941 was killed
in the plaza which was sodded
nearly solid with short grass. There
were many horses and cattle grazing
here all the time. This specimen
allowed me to approach close enough
to kill it with a shot pistol. No. 11016
was shot in a corn patch where
the stocks had been cut off and
carried away for feed. There was
much tender grass springing up here.
