and pull traps immed. so we can get out of

yielded 3 more Tylomys . Kept crossing trap lines
w/ Duke + David. Began to rain lightly by the
time I was finished with this line. Line set
farther down trail yielded 1 Tylomys , 4 P. mexicanus.
Duke caught 1 Heteromys [illegible] desmarestianus,
1 Scotinomys , 2 Tylomys, 2 P. mexicanus. David
caught 1 H. desmarestianus , 1 Tylomys , (6 Pimex.
No bats in mist net(although a large - Artibeus
