Museum Log 1969 journal 85 Aug. 20 (cont.) 4 mi. SSW Motye, 400 ft., Dept. Lambayeque, Per and bushes. There isn't much mouse sign here. The area is dry & brushy & bouldery, and the hill is prominent in a flat grazing land. We each put up a mist net -- Dr. Koford and Ray down at the base of the hill and mine a ways up. We saw little bats (perhaps tomapeas) flying at dusk. 8:00pm Went out geckos hunting. The geckos here are small and fast. We found them on the ground near rocks as well as on the rocks & boulders themselves. I caught 4 and Ray got 3. Dr. Koford caught [illegible] 3. August 21 This morning we each had a little Phyllotomid bat in our nets. It is a nectar-feeding kind with a long rostrum and long tongue (MAL 312). Checked our traps. Ray didn't catch any mice. I had a large gecko in one of my museum specials set at a hole that went under a rock. In another trap placed at a hole in the dirt going beneath a rock I caught a small immature Phyllotidum by the tail. Of the 5 geckos I caught, I think there may be 3 types. There are the small fast ones that are fairly indistinct as far as coloration & skin texture is concerned. Then there was one I got going down a dirt hole. It was larger, had some rows of large scales & a zebra-striped tail. The one I caught in the snap trap may be yet
