and not more than sixty feet from
(10422) the places where I caught two blue-tailed
(10442) rats and two Peromyscus.
In the stomach
(10433) of the peromyscus that I caught today
(10436)
I found some brown seed pulp and
some material that looked very much
like insect remains. This location
that I have been speaking of as a
rocky lake shore in the edge of the
jungle is on the north east
side of the lake near our camp. The
lake's shore is at the base of a rocky
jungled ridge. Just above the
high water line and a
cow trail that follows the edge of the
jungle I set my traps in crevices, and
under protected shelves of the rocks, and
in places where small holes led down
under the rocks. Some of the rocks are
loose and some are half buried.
On the north side of the lake
near the lagoons of the San Miguel in
a small grove of collol palms I
(10437) caught an opossum (Didelphis).
This trap which was set in a hole that
led down under the roots was tripped
for three consecutive mornings. When
I set three traps there in a V shape
I caught the specimen. I shot another
(10438) female brown mastiff bat near camp at dusk.
September 10, 1925 - I caught
(10439)
another spiny-pocket mouse by a small round
hole that led nearly straight down. The
water from the lake spread over the
grassy patch at the south side of the lake
so I had to remove my traps from
(10441) that place. I shot another male brown mastiff bat.
