Paper Leaf Tree, 150 + ft., Dypsis leima, Peru
have been associating with Burkenos. I also
noted a Jellandsea plant which had a cluster
of seeds broken off and the empty shells below
it.
There were mouse prints
(probably Mus - they were very small) right
around it. A trap from stations 9 and 10 was
missing, and I can't understand how. Pearson &
Ray set out the live traps again on the grid.
I did a count of the number of Jellandsea
plants which appeared to have been grazed
upon. The grazed ones usually were had
leaves cut off from the tender shoot part in
the middle. I took a 100ft. length of
string and laid a straight line across
the Jellandsea. Then for every live plant the
string touched I noted whether it was grazed
or ungrazed. I only had time to do this twice.
The results were 3/19 grazed and 6/24 grazed.
This was done in the same area where I counted
the number of plants. I saw a sparrow hawk fly
overhead. From point samples we have determined
that about 7.6% of the area is covered by live
Jellandsea and 29.1% by dead Jellandsea.

Checked the traps this morning. Nothing in my
Calhoun line. I don't understand. There
are prints all over. Perhaps Mus is for
eight for these rusty traps. 4 were sprung!
