Five species represented. Two species, Apodanthera, and Chamaecrista leptadenia, new to storage records. Several whole fruits of Apodanthera, about 2 inches in diameter, stored in addition to seeds alone; seeds of this form not previously noted in burrows, but very abundant in this one, indicating importance of the factor of accessibility in storage.
