1973 and heard gape owls and bats. March 8 Drove south, many of the lowas are green, and the one at Atiquiza looked like rolling hills of Ireland; some grasses, some forbs, blooming Grindela. Camped at Inchi 5 mi. ENE Canana, Rest - Areguiza, about 2,000 ft. Good lona vegetation, an 8" timothy-like grass in bunches plus woody canals?, ocalis, a very few low coati. Heard foran owl and bats during night. March 9 Saw a mouse run into a hole at dawn. Dig him out with first or second shovelful; a very light redish soil, a Phyllotis darvini, breeding male. Numerous other furrows nearby, some of them quite large as though made by something else (Geotita?), and earth runways emanating from them, cuttings, mouse droppings, and footprints in front of them. Dig out two more darvini easily. Some others too deep and took log; saw snakes, lots of furmaride. Drove south, lunching in Moquegua. All rivers with lots of muddy water. Miles of green lona between Moquegua and Tacna, also miles of dried up lona vegetation. Arrived Tacna 4 pm. March 10 + 11? new sedate. In Tacna, anti-freeze at the Ford agency. The big lot of equipment went into the living-bedroom of the manager of a parking lot on Calle Deustoa about 2 blocks north of the main drag. The trucks will be parked in that lot also when we return. Left about 9:30 for the coast. Our old lona study site is much drier than when we were here before in October?, 1976. The Grindela bushes
