The manual fauna is poor. Mustela frenata seen,
Phyllotis andinus? Abdomus boliviensis?, + Microoryzomys?
caught, probably skunk trades seen and bats flying. Some
large rodent droppings seen near the bottom of Achuparal
in a boulder slide may be viscacha (Kofoid has seen
and collected viscachas in the Santa Eulalia valley as low
as 2200 m). A few more species surely live there but the
manual fauna is not a forest fauna. [Marmosa almost certainly here].
The forest has not been found by the forest species.
Nov. 2 Lima. The Oregon geologist at the Pension (Bernstein) says
that a consulting geologist Willard C. Lacy from Univ of
Arizona has studied the Cerro Amaraya - Cerro Inca mundo
and published a semi-popular article on them in
"El Serrano" about Sept-Oct 1952.
