Supper, reading, rest - I have a head cold. 25 November Slept late - feeling a little better. Took collectivo to vicinity of ministerio de agricultura and walked around until found Proyecto Vicuña - Dr. Brach not in 'til 1 or 2. Caught cab to Botica Inglesa & purchased a liter of 40% formallina for S. 600. Caught cab back to Av. Natalio Sanchez and met the permit people. Got a lecture on what I should do next time and then a permit to collect 6 of each species. Said I must allow 3 days on return for export permit! Next went to see Dr. Antonio Brach, who was just starting lunch in his office. Talked w/ him about conservation in Peru, callopistes, etc., and he gave me a copy of his book, El ambiente en que vivimos. Next back to Pension Alemana, lunch, and left for airport at ≈1700.
