Myrmel Leung 1969 Journal 50 July 30 (cont.) Papa Leon Tree, 150 ft., Depto. Lima, Peru had steel traps for foxes & Carol had set 7 snap traps across the road in rock piles near where the farmers burnt piles of apples. No foxes, but Carol had a mouse in every trap (1 was rebbed). She got 3 Mus, 2 Phylletus darwini limatus, and 1 Oryzomys. We caught about 3 geckos near the study area, under cardboard or other debris. 8:00am - injected 2 rats & the Rattus. We will put up Carol's mice except for the Mus. Today is our last day here and we will pack up and go to the Davis' this evening. Tomorrow the Pearsons leave and Dr. Koford arrives. July 31 20 km. N, 6km. W Chancay, 800 ft., Depto.
