To be grain and seed pulp. The grain
is probably from my trap bait and
the seed pulp is probaly the jocote
stone or kernels. In some water
lillies and cats claw (mimosa-brush) I caught
a cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus -). The
trap cracked his skull so I threw him
away.
September 5, 1925 - warm
and windy. Heavy rain in the
evening and night. At the mouth
of a canyon on the south side of
Lake Olomega not far from our
camp is a [illegible] three acre [illegible]
brush and grass patch undisturbed
by cultivation. The patch is
bordered by the lake on the north
side, a corn patch on the south,
and on the east and west by
sub-tropical jungles slopes or
ridges which gradually draw
closer together farther up to
form [illegible] a rocky jungle
canyon. Along the lakes edge the
water [illegible], carried across the
lake from the swampy region by
storms, have started a growth
which is twenty to thirty feet
wide in places. The water is
knee deep on the [illegible] or the outer
edge and gradually decreases in
depth until on the inner edge
there is only a mushy substance
through which the [illegible] roots
ramify. Just back of the water
[illegible] and sometimes miped with
then is long rough bladed grass
