I drove over to the beach to collect my Calhoun line. Total catch was 8 mice. They seem to like the light green vine-like low-growing plants with white small blossoms. At 2 stations there were 2 mice. In many stations the traps had been sprung & empty. 3:30 pm. Dr. spent the rest of the morning walking with the mice, Most were made into skull cap. Dr. Pearson put one up. In the afternoon we went to the museum and ruins at Pachacamac. 4:30 pm. We went to the first trapping area (rocks & cactus 4 km ENE Pacuama). I set out 30 small Shermans up the right hand gully in rocks & cactus & some sand. Ray set out about the same number in another gully. Dr. Pearson set out 2 fox traps and about 7 small Shermans. We are trying to catch Phyllotis dammini, to bring back alive. Tomorrow we will collect the traps and then head for the mountains. We plan to go
