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.
