for the small mouse traps to hold,
Next week I shall set some large
snap traps. I shot two Oryzomys from
their nests in the mimosa buckhard
vines. The nest were of leaves
and lined with fine dead grass.
A cotton rat was sitting on a
horizontal limb in the mimosa-
brush. She was carrying four 43 mm.
embyos. As I was working my
way through the vines and brush
I suddenly came upon two large
mammals? They were obviously deer
but I didn't see them very plainly
before they dashed off.
August 30, 1925 - cool day.
Today we went up the canyon south
of the lake. In the canyon where
the bats are found under the large
rocks I found a new species. The
Salvador brown bat were not as thick
as they were previously. Perhaps
due to the continuous collecting
there they have changed their
lodging quarters. This new species
10399 was shot in a very dark corner
of the rocks. For shape of tragus see
serial No. 10399. I saw one female
monkey carrying a young and a
male and female farther up the
canyon. I collected the male. His
stomach content was jocotes.
August 31, 1925 - very warm
day. Mosquitoes very bad, angry if
you please, and the little black
bees more so. Collected a bat, a Gray-
tailed squirrel, and an Oryzomys and hurried home.
