Mural Leary 1969 journal 77 [red iron bridge], 12 mi. ENE Olmos, 2000ft. Depth: Lambayeque, Peru Aug. 16 (cont.) We arrived here at about 4:00 p.m. We as camped right by a red iron bridge. There is water under the bridge, but very little. This is a dry brushy area with steep hills with rock outcroppings. I set 30 small shermans at the lower part among the brush and boulders.

They are abundant and can be heard calling - a long fast-vibratory call. Many insects & cr* are also making noise. The sky is mostly clear, but the 1/4 moon looks hazy. 8:00 p.m. We got 2 bats in the net, a Phyllostomus M-4 (U.MAL294) and a Mystes There are hundreds of toads here. They are calling down near the stream and are crawling around in the dry brush tangles higher up. Some are very large - maybe about 7 inches long. Some are amplexing, the smaller, greenish ones (M) on top of the larger, browner females. We got another Phyllostomus in the net. Aug. 17 Checked an traps. Dr. Koford was the only one to catch anything - he got some sort of Phyllotis in a
