Mupnal Leng 1964 Journal 65 Aug. 8 (cont.) Callow, 2 km. S, 11 km. W Aucas, 13000 ft., Dept. Aucas, Peru A few days ago I mixed up some rolled oats, quinoa, and somehow moistened this with bean juice. It seems to have fermented or something, and is very odiferous. Aug. 9 6:30 a.m. Checked my traps and found only 1 mouse - that looks like a Phyllotis pictus. It has far greyish fur and a broad head. Perhaps the mice here are early evening or diurnal mice. Ray caught nothing and Dr. Koford caught 3 mice - one a Calomys portexus in the grass and the other 2 probably Phyllotis pictus. The big Phyllotis I got last night is still unidentified (MAL 267). 10:30 a.m. We left the campsite and traveled down the road towards Casma until reaching a place Dr. Koford camped at 2 years ago and caught Phyllotis magister. 1 km.

There are still bushes, some with blue flowers & some with red, and there are tiers of old rock walls. I set about 30 small shermans along rocks walls up on the slope, and 40 folding shermans further
