July 22 Our camp location seems to be 1 mile below the junction of the Rio Carate and the Rio Cuypacu (or called by one of the natives Rio Huantan). We discovered during the course of the day that our road does not go through Yarayos as indicated on all our maps. Yarayos is off to the north on a side road. We seem to be 15 miles upstream from Auco. Ran traps at 6:30. Only one mouse in my line - a Ph. magister 4 feet up on a stone wall. Nothing in Anita's, a magister and a murinus in my pals'. At base camp Carol took nothing, Ray got an Oryzomy? and 5 Rheofata, mostly amicus. We may be getting Ph. amicus, andrini, and magister here. I don't know what the Oryzomy is. Saw a small tinamou at the 8 mile Yarayos location. 2 Torrent ducks swam past camp, dippers, metted a Patagona, but not much in favor for them. Drove home same route except miserable short cut on old highway from Andahuaylas to Azia. 8 hrs including lunch in Zuniga. July 23 No gamba, fairly bright sun in middle of day. Stirred and metted birds in the rock yards. John Davis told of his trip to the Cordillera Negro, Blanco, and Chavite, including good transect across lluna to forest patches, beginning 10 or 15 kms S of Recay at a location Catac and going up through the Tunnel de Cahuish at the divide, then down towards the ruins at Chavin de Huantar. July 24 Windy. Even some moonlight & stars. All day in Pina. Saw Fernando and Ferreyra. Ferreyra assure me that our Tilbadori is
