ord, CB 1951 2 Journal February 22, 1951 Panama Canal Zone his place at Gamboa for lunch, and took us on a ride to the experimental gardens, Old Panama, and other places. Saw several turkey cultures at Gamboa but only black culturs at Old Panama. Mockingbirds, small cinnamon-colored lours with gray heads, vermillion flycatchers (?), mocking birds, rockfowl, some small blue birds, and others at Gamboa. Return ed to Tivoli Hotel about 5 p.m. A few short but rather hard rain showers during the day. The story was that the recent rains were unprecedented (since 1915 or 1916) for this time of year (the dry seas on) in this area. Usually the country not nearly so green at this season. At the Tivoli I met Harold Trapido of the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory and talked with him about bats. Phyllostomids were common at Chillo- Grillos (sp.? ) caves, now easily accessible by road, and he would take us there next Tuesday. There were leaf-cutting bats at the Experimental Gardens, Trapido said, and there was one genus of fish eating bats here. Malesaurus was common bat in the city buildings. Beteh said we could take whatever bats we wished at Barro Colorado and also trap for small mammals. We take the 7:10 a.m. train from Panama City for Frijols tomorrow morning, thence by boat to the island. Trapido said Sarcomyphus present here but not common. To Barro Coboado Island, Canal Zone February 23, 1951 Departed from Panama City on 7 a.m. train
