confirmed that Punoma + Alconera are there, and maybe Chinchilla. Monotres in my traps. Then drove on toward Puno. A few more two diggings then a considerable hintus of rocky bunch grass + tola. Then approaching Challapalca (13,800) is a wide sloping pampa of tola containing two diggings. A scattering of Polyepis at 15,000ft. After Challapalca (where they keep weather records) the road climbs up a gorge and opens out onto a Pampa at 14,300' (Capazo). Stopped for lunch near a set of two diggings where I saw 2 dark-headed treos, no bubbling. That one, which seems to be intermediate between the Santa Rosa opening migris and the big pampas one from Surime. Then took the Pezcoan road from Capazo, over a # divide, then down to the Pampa de Arconera. The divide is feaster country with two diggings. Left 4 golden traps at fresh diggings to be picked up tomorrow on the way back to the Puno road. The pampa de Arconera is slightly rolling with large stretches of tola or of thorn-bush (Mogyjriales). Two diggings in a few places. Found 3 sets of fresh diggings near our camps and set 6 traps there at 4pm. Swine pig diggings too, I think. At 6 had 2 treos, one of them a mottled peole, both dark-headed. At 6:30 set 20 MS around old corral in thorn bush and And ants set +25 in similar. Rain after supper. Some patches of sun during day.
