Pearson 1971 .15-meterspacing quemiro 14,000ft. Laid out a 13 x 7 grid, in yaretos, Lepidophyllum quadrangulare, stinky derecio (2 spp), and cushion cactus. Saw 2 Liolaemus on the grid (E11+ and lower). In a half-hour walk saw about 6 other lizards. 3:15 shade temp. 7o, under rocks such as where lively lizard lurked 14, 20, 21o. 5 inches deep in gravelly soil in sun 11 1/2. At 6:47 a.m. before sun, air -5o, same gravelly soil +3o. Oct. 2 Night clear, calm, moon almost full. Minus 15oF. Grid at 6:30 a.m. Lost 3 abedon andinus and 3 phi. darwinii (1 dead), another abedon (dead) before noon. Anita with 20 oz trap caught 2 phi. darwinii. Also 2 dead darwinii in big thernamo overlooked by me when we were here before. Put 6 big thernamos in a cavers place at base of cliff with lots of drop-offs.

Kept the andinus in a cage briefly; very wild. Saw him chow on yaretos seeds, Lepidophyllum, and both species of derecio. He picked up a few yaretos seeds & mumbled them.

They have been eating tinamous, hummingbirds, other birds, lizards, and a hystricomorph lower jaw too small for viscacha and not ctenomyx. Later ate dead zebra O.S.-4.
