Miguel Leng 1969 journal 48 July 27 Pomacocha, Yauli Valley, 14212 ft., Sept. Junin, Peru 6:00am Checked our traps. I caught 3 mice: an Akodon boliviensis in some dried bunch grass, a Phyllotis darwini posticalis in a little dug beneath a large rock, and a Calomys lucillus in a hole between some green vegetation & a concrete wall. Carol caught 3 Akodon in snap traps, Dr. Pearson caught 1 Akodon + 1 Calomys in snap traps, Ray got 3 mice, the same as mine, and Mrs. Pearson caught [illegible] a Calomys. At 8:00 am Carol, Ray, & I went to the other side of the lake where Ray shot the viscacha yesterday. I had the rifle, and finally one appeared, probably to sun itself on a rock. Unfortunately, it seems I missed, and it ran somewhat erratically between the rocks & out of sight. We waited for about 15 minute, then searched the area for the possible body. No success. The dead animals caught will be put up and the live ones taken back to Papa Leon XIII. for chromosome work — especially the Akodon. Plans are now for Carol, Ray, & I to go to Huancayo this afternoon somehow, and somehow get back to Papa Leon tomorrow. We overturned a boat in back of the lodge and canught [sic] a Neotomys esibriosus [sic] and got 4 frogs under a metal plank. 1:00 pm Ray, Carol, & I took a collector to Huancayo. Arrived at about 3:00 pm.
