Puerto del Triunfo, Dept., Usulutan Dec., 28, 1925 - Jan., 25, 1926 Agouti — Cotuza Agoutis were frequently heard as they went crashing and barking off through the dry dead leaves under the colol palms. Occasionally I would get a brown flash as an agouti passed through an unshaded space but could not be seen long enough to get a shot. Early one morning while I was running my trap line along one of the jungle streams I saw [illegible] one disappear in some lillie like plants at the edge of the swamp into which the stream ran. The next morning it was in the same place and I shot it. Agouti tracks were found commonly along the streams and in the swamp in association with those of Tipisquinte. In many places in the swamp there were well used trails.
