		Tracking tunnels and snap-trap removal indices of rat densities showed similar trends when run on a 9 ha trapping grid, although immigration onto the grid occurred, thus violating one of the assumptions of the analysis.
		Time series analysis showed that rat density indices from tracking tunnels and Fenn traps were significantly correlated when run for 27 consecutive months in a rat population with moderate density, but were not correlated in a low density rat population.
		Given the widespread use of rodent tracking tunnels in New Zealand, we suggest that tracking tunnels should only be used to compare relative abundance within similar habitat types, and should always be complemented with a second density index.

		I visited a number of caves in New Zealand.
		Commercial cave trips in New Zealand range from the familiar guided tourist trips, with lighting, easy walkways, and sometimes boat rides, to more adventurous trips involving rappelling, wet suits, waterfalls, inner tubes, tight crawls, and other assorted fun.
		The last crawl, through a series of flowstone tunnels between pools of water, heading up to the entrance, was one of the most beautiful and interesting cave passages I have seen anywhere.
