Miguel Leng 1969 Journal 70 bni. ENE Paracota, 6500ft, Depto. Ancash, Per. Aug. 12 (cont.) I set out about 30 small Sherman's along the stream under rocks + boulders and in tangles of roots along the bank. Dr. Koford set about 20 snap traps higher up in the rocky slope. The area is somewhat dry with deserty vegetation on the slopes. There is brush closer to the water. Dr. Koford set up a mist net. In the evening I caught a large frog by the river. It reminds me of Leptodactylus pipiens (MAL 283). I hear bats at night, but as I 9:00 pm., none are in the nets. There is skunk smell here in many places along the bank in tangle of roots + boulders. Aug. 13 Nothing in the bat sets. Dr. Koford caught 2 very large andium and I got a live Alerdon Bolivianus in a jumble of large boulders. We drove out to Casma and then up north, we got to Trujillo at about 3:30 p.m. Tonight we are spending the night a bit north of Chicama. Ray + Dr. Koford set out a few snap traps in the bushes here. The bushes have very large pods. They are Cappariss bushes. 15 mi S Pacasmayo, Depto. LaLied, Per. [km. 630] Aug. 14 Ray caught a Mus. This morning I found the bleached skull + part of the skeleton of a wepoused skunk (MAL 285). We drove north and stopped at areas along the highway where there were abundant small dunes with Cappariss growing on them. At 10:30 a.m. it was very warm + windless and many lizards of different species could be seen
