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.
