PEARSON 1955 a few patches of Festuca. The Sama locality is rich but very rocky. Much of the country with caracaras, llama mineros etc., alike with coots + flamingoes. Then a long rocky road descent to Tarija, which is goat country. Much bare ground or sparse grass with thorn tree, lecheros, a few caeti, and goats. Under cultivation are corn, vegetables etc., plus fruit trees (not citrus), cana brava. Thunder and heavy rain at 4:30 delayed traps setting, but got out 2 logs before dark in good "goat country" along stone walls (not many stone walls around) and on bouldered hill. Many guinea pig droppings. Vegetation thornbush + thorn tree (including algarrobo), lecheros, smaller "sage" bushes, and sparse grass and coctus (some low opuntas, no Saguaro). One of the stone walls was supplemented by thorn branches piled along and on it. This locality a few miles south of Tarija, 6700ft. Much lollonde here about. Oct. 6 Trophine with 7 grouse, 7 Abadon, and 1 Marmona. morning sunny, clouds pouring over the mountain range to the southeast. A great many traps sprung + safely, many baits stolen by ants. Looked for spring shekels lost in Tarija, then drove back toward Sama in search of Ph. = Colomacana groenmader or woffschnei. Camped at 8200 ft. in scattered tela, thorn bushes, and lucky grass (curly), with short grasses abundant also. Soil very shallow. A few algarrobos up to 10 ft or so. Traps around a brushy house ruin, along a stone wall, and along a creek. Late afternoon + evening cloudy. Nothura colling at dusk. 10 miles NW Tarija, NW coctus
