PEARSON 1955 Canta has corn + beans and the tall beans. 1 mi. W Canta, [illegible] ft.; Delet of Luna, Peru Aug. 22 Trafer caught 2 Marmona, 1 Hefferamps, & 2 big old male Ph. andrum. Parakeets live. Later saw 2 large flocks of parrots. The original ones may have been parrots, but probably parakeets. Drove down the Chillon Valley. Much like thrives. There are some big willows about 2 ft or more in diam. See that I don't remember in thrives. Also, it is my impression that as one comes down the Chillon the zones are higher. Vegetation at 4000 ft. in the thrives is at 5000 in the Chillon. During a traffic tie-up (hard on collie or on a curve) at 7000 ft., I tried fishing, a 10 inch rainbow trout on first cast; two other strikes. Stopped in the Tillandsia zone. Just before dark shot out almost 2 roos of museum specials among the rocks & Tillandsia about 200 ft above the road. Found only one set of fresh visoroba? droppings and put a stick trap there, but no good burrow. Some Tillandsia of both species in bloom. Of the smaller species some plants that look like they have been kicked off the path have a fresh-looking flowering stalk with blooms. Saw a carder only 50 ft above the ground at 5:45 looking west. Also a black beetle with long proboscis, a spider, and several "darter" moths emerging from the Tillandsia at dusk. For book gathered foundation at 6 and in [illegible] some side valleys, but hasn't hit here yet (7:45). Found
