no, Cullway From Burren entrance. Steep hillside, narrow valley, mangy stonewalls, hillside crumbling terraces and rock outcrops, the walk with low bushes of many sorts including a couple of serophyll lupines. Looks like archium habitat, but hope to get magister. One bat flying at dusk. A few tree joint cactuses; much grazing by cone burrows. Bushes include Baccharis, Serophylari- (caleolaria) aecea, a dissected-leaf Senecio, nettles. Put out one bag of traps just before dark. Eucalyptus here in the town. Aug 20. Sat. Traps produced only 2 mice, longish-tailed big Hispermyx, Big hummer (Potogonia?) seen and another smaller black hummer at the rocks of dawn. Large coarse stick nest in one of the two joint cactuses may be cactus wren, but have rather seen nor heard any. Colder south-facing slope just below here has good rich lupines. Local yokel (town Cullway) says altitude is 14,900 ft'. About 2 miles below the town the roadside and streamside has considerable thorn bushes with lavender flowers, about 6 ft-tall! and Took another wrong turn and ended at Huaros, but near there encountered some nice stone wall-bush habitat remnant of magister habitat above Tarata. 12,000 ft. Lush lupines, Caleolaria, and other bushes, many with showy flowers and hummingbirds. Set half a bag of traps at noon. Took a couple of hours because of small boys, people working in the fields, etc. Then drove down the Canta road about 15 kilometers and set a half bag among large buildings + bushes (Baccharis + others) and joint cactus. Then drove up to the river below Huaros and set among stones
