Hendrickson 1950 Sylvilagus floridanus Oct. 24 5 pm N Villavieja, 1460 ft., Huila, Colombia S. A. Shot a sitting individual on the high flats about 1 mi WNW of camp. Its gut was "crowded with roundworms and tapeworms" (Penico, who cleaned it). Cooked, it proved too tough to fry, and finally ended on the table as stew. Oct. 26 Jacklighted small individual (half- grown?) just W of R.R. tracks, W of camp. Lost it trying to approach close enough to take it with a .38 shell. Oct. 29 Following road to Duebradas Lajas, thence via the Duebrada to the R.R. and via tracks back to camp, I saw about 10 Cottontails. Oct. 30 Saw 3 in daytime on high flats W of camp. Nov. 3 On night walk, jacklighting, to region of Duebrada Lajas (via R.R. tracks) saw three. Two were seen at same time. cottontail
