lakes edge near camp. Its stomach
contained insect pulp. A native
(0429) brought me a lion-cat. He shot it
on a ridge (Alt. 350ft.) in the jungle
east of camp. The native said
there were two but the other escaped.
This mammal had a prehensile tail,
September 7, 1925- Very warm
day; rained during the night. A trap
set by a little round hole under a
small rock had a female spiny-pocket
(0430) mouse. I caught two other species
of spiny-pocket mice from the same
hole about two weeks ago. 'Van'
(0431) shot a gray-tailed squirrel in the jungle
near a corn patch. Her stomach
contained jocote fruit and nuts. These
mastiff bats are the swiftest bats I ever
saw. I missed two shots again
tonight.
September 8, 1925- very warm
day; rained all night. I caught a
(0432) Sigmodon in the blue stemmed grass.
The specimen had apparently been
caught early in the evening before for it had
started to deteriorate. The stomach
content could not be determined. Along
the rocky lake shore in the edge of the
(0433) jungles I caught a Peromyscus. The trap
was baited with tankage.
September 9, 1925- Under the
rocks on the lake shore in the edge of
the jungles I caught two spiny-pocket
mice. These traps were baited with
(0434)
shelled corn which was laid on the
trap near the beddle. The mice were
cought in the same type of places.
