A number of people killed by mudslides in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro reached 46, local emergencies services reported.
Rescuers found two more bodies late on Sunday night in Angra dos Reis, some 100 km (62 miles) west of Rio de Janeiro, which was hit by mudslides last Friday.
Authorities have announced that there are still between 15 and 20 zones of risk in the area, where mudslides may reoccur.
A separate landslide also hit the Brazilian island resort of Ilha Grande on New Year's Day, killing at least 26 people.
The mudslides were caused by heavy rains, which hit the area last week.
Authorities in Rio de Janeiro declared last Friday three days of mourning for the victims of the mudslides.
