Puerto del Triunfo, Dept, Usulutan
Dec., 28, 1925 - Jan., 25, 1924
Sciurus
Gray-tailed Squirrel, Variegated Squirrel - Hordia
During our stay at Puerto del
Triunfo I saw five Gray-tailed Squirrels.
Two were seen in the dense collol
palms in the jungle about a mile east
of the village. One was eating Collol
palm fruit and the other was running
up a slanting tree from [illegible] where
he had been rustling in the dry leave
on the ground. Two others were seen
[illegible] at the edge of a corn patch north
of camp, one ran up a tree where he
was shot, No 11011, and the other escaped
in low dense brush. The specimen taken
had corn in his stomach. The fifth
squirrel was in [illegible] an orange tree
gust back of the old hotel.
