Vendrellson 1950 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)
