signs - one quite small. I put them all in a plastic bag together, and in the course of the day the smallest scorpion's tail was eaten. I also captured a giant (3 1/2") scorpion, which we have picked for reference purposes.
July 18, 1969 - 4km ENE Omangas, Dept. Lur, Peru
Toke county invertebrate samples on the grid this morning. We seem to be getting a different balance in the sample on the A-1-3 slope than we were in our samples from the back side of the hill. More cricket, fewer Thypanura. Guess we need more samples from different areas on the grid.
While the others were taking care of the night's catch Carol & I went up to San Bartolo and did assorted shopping. Had dinner at noon in anticipation of a camp-out on the grid tonight.
I have been watering two soil samples in half a 50-gal drum outside the back door. I collected the sample on Tuesday July 15 and started watering it the next morning.
Slept out on the grid area to see what birds could be seen going to roost there and also to make spider counts. Ray, Byrd & I drove south to the little beach by the fieldmeal plant for a while at "sundown". There were lots of grey gulls going to roost on the beach,
