Myrna Leary 1969 Journal 43 5 mi. E 10 km. S Yungoz, 9000 ft., Dept. Lima, Peru dry, bushy slopes. Dr. Pearson took about 40 snap traps up to the higher tiers. Mrs. Pearson set about 27 large Sherman's below- that, and I took the dry area to the right of that and set 30 small Sherman's along the rock walls near holes. We are hoping to get Phyllotis magister. Tonight is clear with scattered clouds, moonlight, warm, and windy. July 21 (cont.) July 22 6:00 am Dr + Mrs Pearson + I drove up to check our traps. Mrs Pearson caught nothing, Dr. Pearson cought 1 dead Phyllotis magister, and I caught another Marmosa and a live P. magister. The magister is important because the closest other specimen caught have been 400 mi. south and 200 miles north. Dr. Pearson calls there subspecies, so a connection (now have been found in the Rincae Valley) here is important. Carol caught nothing near camp, and Ray caught 5 armieos (4 alive) and 1 dead Crypyumps. Last night we had some luck with the mist nets. After dusk we found a medium-sized Phyllois Phyllostomid bat in the net hung across a meadow. In the net hung across the river there was a small bat, probably of a different species caught, but it freed itself before we were able to get to it. During the night another Phyllostomid was caught. It looks different from the first.
