E. Heske 1980 Journal Cerro Mozotol, Chiapas, Mexico dec. cont. to our camp at site A ~ 1300. Duke + I sorted through traps + repaired broken ones till ~ 1500, then began setting out remaining traps. I checked my W-slope line and added traps that had previously been holding animals, making 20 in all. Set another 20 about 100 m S. of that line down same slope, in similar vegetation (although not a ravine). Set 10 Shermans further down slope, beginning at bottom of Line 1 (yesterday's line) until I reached a very steep area above a path. All vegetation generally similar to area described above. Set a final 8 traps about 500m S. down road, but above road. Duke has set ~40 traps in this area. Promising habitat - many moss covered logs, moist ground, lots of low herbaceous ground cover, fairly dense canopy. Wish I had more than 8 traps to set here! will try more tomorrow, depending on trap results. Returned to camp ~1730. Dinner etc. Fog/clouds came in early today - already thick by 1300. Turned in ~ 2130. Cerro Mozotol, Chiapas, Mexico December Arose ~0630. Clear sky, clouds below us. Checked traps on line in ravine W. of road first - caught 1 P.guatemalensis, 1 Heteromys nelsoni, and 1 Reithrodonomys. According to Hall + Kelson, it is probably R. sumichrasti. The
