Rio San Miguel, 13°25' N. Dept., San Miguel Feb., 2, 1924 - Feb., 21, 1926 Dasyprocta Agouti - Cotuja Agoutis were not as common at Rio San Miguel (13°25'N) as they were at Queilo del Triunfo or at Mt. Cacaguatique. It was about eleven o'clock one morning that I entered a dense cololo patch along an old dry lagoon about three quarters of a mile N.W. of our camp! The broad leaves were thick under these palms and I hadn't gone far when I heard a rattle! I stooped and got an occasional glimpse of an Agouti as it dashed through the shade of the palms spattered here and there by sun light. No. 11093 was said to have been killed in this bunch of cololo palms. Early one morning while running my trap line I saw an agouti dash out of a melon patch for the dense brush. A few minutes later I discovered that it had been eating a small melon which was partly ripe.
