night. He caught 6 Mus. We did 2 batches
of mice for chromosomes this morning: 3 Phyllotis
darwini + 3 Colomp lucilla.
4:30 pm. Injected 2 Akodon + 1 Vestomys. We went
out to the north end of the beach where Mrs. Pearson set
out 8 small steel traps in hopes of catching the large
rodent whose print we see all over the sand. We set
up 2 mist nets between the rocky formations in the
beach to catch bats. Carol went to the study area
to catch moths. We caught a small pipistrell in
the 30 ft. mist net. Another escaped. Nothing
flew into the 15 ft. net. We went to look for
geckos but didn't find any. Under rocks I
found a spider and a scorpion. We left the
nets up and returned at 7:30 to do chromosomes
of the injected animals.

then went to the study area where Dr. Pearson
