P. PEARSON 1955 coctus punta? cochinal? It was 20km by road to a village Aveon and 53 km by road to the Puente Aleomachay, Call it 25 mi NW Puente Aleomachay. The Puente is about 7500 ft. and the road drops to about 1300 ft. before starting into the valley to Ayaucro. Shortly below my trip sugar cane appeared, and later, bananas & oranges. In general it was a day of debrros, coctus and then scrub; goat country. Drove for 5 to 6 hours and stopped 2 miles south of Ayaucro, 9500 ft. Some foddlands shortly after leaving the Mantaro. Put out 1½ hop of trip in rocky punta, joint coctus, sage (a 2-foot bush with uproot willow-like base, no thorns. The ground is very stoney-gravelly with some short grass (not bunch), grazed by goats! Aug 30 3 Phyllotice and 1 Hesperwynge in that, many birds ruled by crickets. There are coctus menshere. Clear breast. Song 3 to 6 clear/pipes followed by a slightly descending lough. The first notes are sometimes grated or trilled. Above Ayaucro the road passes through a slightly lushy zone (looks like Boechzia) then opens out into lush scrub. Chunks to about 13,700 ft. Looked in vain for Molthoprocta and menra until just before the road drops off toward Rio Pampa when I saw 2 small bands of menras (short-grass pampa and some bunchgrass, 13,500) and 1 Molthoprocta. The menras should be less than 10 miles north of Puente Pampa?, Then endless ziggzags down into
