Vicungas, several flocks whitewere galleytes were seen in ponds at the Crucero and east of them. was marshy habitat gas short. A light fall of snow was covering the track, open feet but the weather now sunny 20th Jan. A mile beyond Crucero we saw another party of 3 vicungas and on a side hill some half-mile away so a single one. Reached two large fatunas about 10 miles ridelength. Saw some flamingos on one of a great many mud- hens on the other. These lakes are apparently deep, the hills rising steeply from the shore. Reached Santa Lucra at 4 P.M. rates a silvermine isolated in the wall of the station house was beside a stuffed coyote stuffed with the mouth open showing to teeth. It was a large species, better than this country they are.
