P. PEARSON 1951 15 the way down, including slopes of what looks like dwarf quince. Still no mail at post office, but located Kayford's at Hotel Tunnata. They had sent letter to P.O. weeks ago and Carl had checked and found it there on one of his visits. Also they had left note for me at stone pile where we had looked and where we left our note, but someone must have taken it. Got bus grazed after lunch and stopped, then back towards the hill at 6. Stopped just before dark at end of paved road, 8400ft. Vegetation rather similar to that next of Aregipa at 7500ft. where we traffled before - dried desert weeds, occasional cactus, a few thorny Beren's? bushes. Also at a secret place in a dry wash were some large clumps of a big grass. Had there to get out about 25 traps before dark. Short jacklighting after supper saw nothing but a Phyllotrea in one of center traps. Numerous swither flights at 9 p.m. Dec 22 6 Phyllotrea in my line and 3 in Anita's. Drone up the hill to Jaguar Jalies and shinned. Then set out about 50 museum specials at the bottom of a long mesocha rock slide about 700ft higher than camp and maybe 1/2 mile south; really the rock side of Vichin/palm - dark, rocky, Rhyphyllum jayetta, some scattered tola and grass. Many tracks, but not much other sign. Shot one mesocha. Heard Tinamotis. Dec 23 Only 1 mouse, abdon ordinarus. Target sunrise 30%. Morning clouded up early, came hail before 11 a.m. (There had been some during night also). Steady snow by 2 o'clock when we left for Kayford's
