Oct. 23 5km. N Villanueva, 1400ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
set for bats, 3 tree sets, and 42
ground sets for rodents. Two
small stakes set in R.R. culverts.

feel that we have a surplus of
hired help, but hope to keep them
both for our entire stay here.

1 mile. Collected 2 quail (see species
account). Crotophaga sulcirostris was
again collected from a loose flock
