Traps are in somewhat barer terrain than most of surrounding hills, semi-termed with lots of big clumps of cactrea (big clumps of aster-flowered a big [illegible] and a big species of the fuzzy cactrea. Region looks OK for cactrea were but didn't see any, a dull woodpecker in the big cactrea, also a small merry poorwill, hummers, fly catchers. No lyarbs seen here or at San Bartolomé. Evening started out clear at Chocrea, looked foggy to the west. Aug 8 Foggy at Saming. 8 to a few miles above Chocrea, at 3 mi. E of San Bartolomé at 5:30 am found a dead lactating ? Phyllotis on the road and 2 minutures in the ditch a few feet away. It was at the bottom of a stife cliff. Tip of her tail skin stripped off, no visible cause of death. Traps on cactrea slope had 3 Phylloties, not sure deanini or andini. Half dozen traps along stone wall at edge of perennial grass pasture + them two held one house mouse (not sued) and one züingra rat (Aug 8?2) Aug 10 Wednesday. Returned to Luia Monday+Tuesday for battle with Advas. Equipment got in OK (for $125) except ammunition, which they counted bullet by bullet to 1223 and then withheld for permit. Got the run around on permits, so abandoned the ammo (unless Koepke can get it out). slept at Chocrea. Foggy but cleared early.
