Hondrichson 1950 Carran Nov. 19 Villavicencio, 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A. Three small individuals seen (by headlamp) (8' wide x3' deep in hills) in pool in creek just S of town. The pool was a large one for this creek; it was about 18' wide and roughly 36' long (estimated), apparently more than 3 ft. deep. It [illegible] was surrounded by cut banks (3' on one side, about 6' on the other side). The water of the creek was "milky- clear" and smelled of sewage (?). The creek was fairly rapid in the shallow hills, but the water had no perceptible current in the pool. Drifts of and rafts of what appeared to be rice hulls, and stream debbris (sticks, etc.) piles were present. All three were first seen in and near a mass of stream debris and ooze (+ rice hull "raft") near the higher cut bank. Later one or two were also seen at intervals near the lower cut banks opposite, and under overhanging grass from this bank (always only head visible, usually detected only by eyeshine). We were not carrying a gun, and attempts to snare them proved unsuccessful. Nov. 22 Again saw the three mentioned above; this time snared one (#1592) with a snare of #26 wire. Temp. of animal = 26.0 C., water temp. (8:05 P.M.) = 25.1 C. It was
