Koford Journal 8 September 1967 9500 ft. Nr. Paria coto Dpto. Ancash, Peru: yesterday altimeter broke. Calm night last night. Slept out - min. 48°F. My traps held 1 Abrothrix boliviensis, 1 Oryzomys, 2 Marsup., and 18 Phyllotis darwini (?) and magistral (?). We hope to find habitat difference between last two, but no separation dry brush-loving and rock-loving is apparent. The brush is on somewhat rocky ground, not in pure stone, & nearly every trap in brush has mouse across spring. Many had heads eaten in traps, presumably by other mice or Marsupials. Temp. to 80° in day, so worked to save specimens. Checked traps in afternoon and removed furred (spec.) and lizard. Left 4 rebailed traps, and set additional to 55 total. Checked traps 2130-2330 and removed 23 mice. In addition to those put up-these included: P. magistral & minim. 30gms.; Abrothrix boliviensis or t. 8x4 (104-82-21-16, 27gms.), and Oryzomys 1, partly eaten. (Last within a few feet of open flat at top slope.) Also many P. darwin (=andium) minim: 98, ad. 213-102-26-21, 35gms., at scars 3R 24, w. Tunga cyst in tail; 34gms. with uterine luge, 2 1/16, 5 mm. diam.; and minim. 98 16) 27, 14, 23, 22 gms; 0707, ad. t. 6x3, 218-114-25-21, 37gms., and minim. 20, 27 (t. 3) gms. Both kinds of Phyllotis taken in same trap on successive nights, & both in similar habitat 5 yds. apart, so no clear separation between andium and magistral. | In evening I flushed and shot an Nothoprocta on dry brush & grass slope. Oversat evening. 9 September 1967. Nr. Paria coto, Dpto. Ancash, Peru By sunrise lost 14 was in traps, so 37 taken in 55 traps. I took up part of line, leaving 30 out. Saw a Patagona gigas on brush on dry hillside, perhaps attracted by red flowered vine on shrubs. Checked traps evening and hardly & animals. Clear w. half moon.
