1969
afternoon while the sun was out. It was about
20-30 pellets. We caught about 50 scorpion
stingers and 86 pairs of fruit frogs. There
were lots of little [illegible] visible so after supper
I stayed home and separated out the fauna.
Counts about 18 pairs of females - gecko size.
We set traps in the late afternoon at
a beach a little south of Chlca. The beach
is pocked with crab burrows and covered with
mouse tracks. The tracks are like little highways
through the vegetation. Also caught 2 kinds
of lizards and found 2 geckos curled up under
cardboard (different pieces of cardboard). Set 17
traps along the road (Sherman live traps) baited
with oatmeal.
July 6, 1969 4k ENE Pucuvana Dept. Lima Peru
Four Mus in my traps. Roy caught some
Oryzomys but otherwise lots of Mus only. We
drove up to the Quebrada (Cay de Mueros) to look
for the box of large folding Shermons that was
inadvertently left there and picked up a batch
of tiny free pellets to change. Marketed in
San Bartolo where we also had to change a tire.
When we got back to the house we found a note
saying the Davis family had been by with Manuel.
Please call his girlfriend Isabel. We lit into
our chores of the day and before long the Davis
car drove up with everyone aboard. Sat
