Puerto del Triunfo, Dept, Usulutan
Dec. 28, 1925 - Jan., 25, 1926
Raccoon - Mapachin
Raccoon tracks were seen
commonly in the dusty roads and
[illegible] on the muddy banks of small
streams near corn patches. Natives
reported that raccoons frequently
visited their corn patches and
did much damage especially
just before the ears dry and hard.
In a weedy banana grove north
of the village I frequently saw
their tracks in paths that
led hither and thither through
the weeds and banana trees. No. 10985
was shot in a tree in a small
patch of dense jungle near the old
hotel where we were staying. He
was very fat and had corn in his
stomach.
