and learned that no one was at home but the Major Demo. He informed

us stirlily enough that the rooms were all occupied, and walked away. 
He was one of the peon class and appeared to enjoy the opportunity 
to be rude. We decided to remain, however, and so moved our effects 
into the court and took possession of one end of the corridor. The 
rooms were occupied by a priest and several young people, Mr, Jony 
coughed incessantly all night owing to the damp air, and in th© morn¬ 
ing the priest told him that he ought not to sleep outside, and in 
the afternoon on© of the young men stopping here came to us and in¬ 
vited us to occupy a room which they had made ready for us. We 
accepted this offer with great pleasure. Our meals we have had 
brought in by the people who keep a small “posada" or eating house 
for the workmen, near the gate of the Hacienda, 
Our success in trapping was not very great at this place, though 
we secured a curious Spilogal e. some foxes, a Sfas ua, and Sit any s 
mel anp phrys. In one place I set two traps about a foot apart and 
caught a pair of foxes in them.

trees along the river gave us quite a harvest of birds, among which 
was the beautiful red-bellied trogon called the 11 Pajara national’
