Myrna Henry 1969 Journal 66 Aug.9 (cont.) 1 Km. N, 12 km. E Paracota, 8500 ft., Depto. Cusco, Peru up in the brushy, rocky area, beneath bushes or along an old rocky narrow irrigation ditch. Ray set about 20 small shermans along a rock wall and a bag of about 30 snap traps on a dry brushy slope facing west. Dr. Koford set 38 large shermans near where I set my large shermans, also in bushes and near some segments of rock wall. I'd also set up a large mist net for birds or bats. As I was setting my large shermans I saw a very small hummingbird, only about 2 inches high and white! There are lizards here and I have seen at least 3 kinds. We have pitched the tent up from the road and can look down the valley until it is covered by fog. Dr. Koford shot a small tinamou. 8:00 pm. I went with Dr. Koford to check the net placed a few fields up the slope. No bats. Dr. Koford checked his large shermans and had no catch. Down the slope along rock walls near camp, however, he had a Phyllotis andium live in a snap trap and a dead one under a Maguey plant. August 10 6:00 am. Checked my traps. Out of 70 live traps all I got was the skin off half a tail, caught in a large sherman. Dr. Koford caught 2 Phyllotis andium in his large shermans, and Ray caught 1 Phyllotis andium in his small shermans
