Transcription
The samples were sieved through screen wire (18/" mesh) and the material that didn't go through the sieve was brought home and put in a paper cup with water. Stirred with a spoon + scooped everything that floated. The drained it on napkins & wrapped in smaller & newspaper packages. In the afternoon I helped Carl work out a way to quantify the invertebrates in the soil, so we took a couple samples. Very true conusny, and very few licho per sample, using a kili can collector. I had a marvelous lunch for La India for dinner - Ray cooked it out back on the fire. Ingrid fixed cabbage to go with it. July 15, 4k. ENE Pacusaan, Pajat Lira, Peru. When the rest picked up their traps on the grid, Carl + I and Didi Davis worked out a Trueman Small Invertebrate sample and then marked off a circle of 24' radius to census the large invertebrates in. Carl drew a map show the main clumps of Lill. And we proceeded to shake the areas out, one at a time, over the ground cloth and coted + killed the invertebrates. Did about 1/2 the circle before going home for lunch. We found several chips, in which was a broken scroks eggshell, but no scrocks. Several scorpions, spiders, pseudoscorpions, Thpamra, and an occasional other insect.
