Procyon
Oct. 26 5 km. N Villavija, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
Shot an individual (#1470) beside water
in quebrada just S. of camp. It was walking
E along stream and approached to within
range as I watched it. Wounded by the
first shot, it uttered a loud grunt and
ran into the dense brush on the S bank
of the quebrada. I located it by the
noise of its thrashing and shot again,
imobilizing it sufficient to lay
hands on it and kill it. Local
name is "cosumbo patebaros".
Nov. 8 Villavija, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
Few tracks which I assume to
be of this species at several places
on island next to town. I
make the assumption largely because
of their close resemblance to tracks
left by #1470 (see above, Oct. 26)
