7/28/25 Salvador C.A. Lake Olomega Departamento la Union Altitude 260 ft. (by barometer) July 28, 1925 - Clear - Warm. 4:00 P.M. I entered the jungles for the first time with a few mouse traps and six No. 0. Oneida 'jumps'. The vegetation about Lake Olomega is not so thick but what one can go through it without cutting one's way. It was very warm in jungles today chiefly due to the absence a breeze there. I set five No. 0. Oneidas and about the same number of mouse traps, at small holes under lava rocks and under tree stumps. Some of the tracks of larger mammals were seen but the identity was not certain. Two or three trails that ran horizontally with the hills were observed. July 29, 1925 - Clear - Warm. The hills bordering Lake Olomega are steep with many lava rock boulder and thorn patches, thus traveling is very difficult. Along the edge of the lake is a path which is used [illegible] chiefly by domestic hogs and cattle. The only result of yesterdays set was an opossums foot. (Didelphis) This No. 0. trap was set in a hole on a hill side. Presumably something had eaten the catch. Some natives [illegible] shot a rabbit.
