Myrmal Keeg 1969 Journal 41 July 20 (cont.) Papa Lem tree, 150+ ft., Depto. Lima, Peru common. As we went up we saw cendros, doves, swifts, flycatchers, and a Torrid Duck that was floating down the rapids. The temperature is warm and the sky clear. 5 mi. E 10 hrs. Yungos, 9000 ft., Depto. Lima, Peru 3:30 we arrived here and set up camp. We are about 1 1/2 hours past Callaoca. We are probably fairly close to Yungos. We are camping by the river. 6:00 pm. We've all set traps. Ray & I split the small shermans. I set a line up a rocky talus slope that has a lot of vegetation, including scots broom, some dry grasses, large cactus, and a few trees. It tends mainly to be brushy and dry. There are bats flying all around, feeding on gnats. They are small-medium and make a fairly high-pitched squeaking voice. July 21 0:00 am. Checked my trap line. I caught 3 animals, a Phyllotis andium, a Phyllotis annexus, and a Marmosa. One of the Phylloties was caught along the base of a rock wall, the other in some brushy rocky pile, and I believe the Marmosa was cought in a trap placed in a hole in the rock wall. It is very small and not very active, although after I had it in my breast pocket a while it became more active and managed to climb out. Dr. Plamun
