Rio San Miguel, 13°25'N Feb. 2, 1926-Feb. 21, 1926 Skunk When I came upon the scene there were two Karkars jumping frisky around the Skunk while two Black Vultures sat back and looked on. The captive was on defense with his tail [illegible] nearly parallel with his body, back over his head, and was panting heavily under the burning ray of the morning sun and the excitement which had been going on. As I approached the so called scavengers beat a hasty retreat, although other sets were made in trail through the old bean patch this was the only successful place. No. 11112 was shot by me at night in a melon patch near Rio San Miguel; this was just north of the old weedy bean patch. When I saw him he was obviously feeding among the melon vines. However his stomach showed nothing. No. 11152 was found dead in the jungle at the edge of a corn patch.
