Journal 59 4 mi. S, 8 mi. E Recway, 12500 ft., Depto. Querosh; Rem 1/2 mi. by rd. from Catzo towards Chevin] Aug. 5 (still short, large ears, though still white at base, pointier nose, (cont.) small feet). I checked my traps + ended up with 4 mice. The first was an Akodon, dead, caught in a small Sherman placed at a hole in a rock wall built near the stream. Akodon is fairly uniform in color, dark with tan + grey. It has a tail not longer than the length of the body. Ears are fairly small though not covered by fur. The 2nd mouse was another Akodon caught live in a trap placed at a hole under a rock near bunch grass about 5 ft. from the stream. The third mouse was a Phyllotis (?? probably Calomys scirrei) sellanicus, caught in a small rock pile surrounded by bunch glass, about 20 ft up from the stream in a dry place full of bunch grass. The last fourth mouse was caught in the last trap, placed in a very wet place, under a large rock at hole bordering a small patch of short green grass. It is an Oryzomyx. It's a small mouse with small ears and a very long tail. Dr. Koford checked his traps and cought 14 more mice in his snap traps: 6 Akodon (perhaps different species), 4 Oryzomyx (near stream, within 10 ft of stream bed), 3 perhaps Calomys scirrei, a some sort of Phyllotis, 1 Calomys ducilla, and 1 larger mouse, maybe P. pictus a ardinyxyp. (8 pregnant - 2r 2light 23mm). I've injected my 3 live mice for chromosomes. (MAR) 246, 247, or Dr. Koford talked to an indian woman living near here & asked her the name of the lake. She said it is called Querosccha. 4:00 pm. I set 41 snap traps about 3/4 mile down- stream. I found several rock wall structures
