It is the cheek-bagged one; or the cheek-bags. Like the gopher, it is thick, with small, thick back. It eats all the maize; it attacks beans especially. As for its being named camaxixiqui, even if it is a bushel of beans, it takes all of it, it carries off all of it. Its pouches are like two bags. There it places, there it puts in whatever it carries off, and it makes storage places underground; it fills them there, so that later it can continue eating it.
