Rio San Miguel, 13°25'N. Dept., San Miguel Feb., 2, 1926 - Feb., 21, 1926 Porcupine— It was at this locality where I first encountered Porcupines at night with the carbide hunting lamp. A pair, No. 11096 & 11097 were shot from a horizontal limb on a tree which stood at the side of a canela trail which led through a dense and green patch of jungle toward an old lagoon. Their eyes shined faintly and they were walking along the limb, one close behind the other. On this same night, February 10, I shot another at the waters edge of the old lagoon it was climbing up a slanting limb when shot. However its skull was ruined and I didn't put it up. Another porcupine was brought into camp by a native but since its skull was crushed from the blow machete I refused to purchase it. All specimens examined from this locality were black.
