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.
