Myrna Leng 1969 journal 86 August 21 (cont.) 4 mi. SSW Motupe, 400 ft., Depto. Lambayeque, Peru another kind, with a different pattern of large scales or differently marked. Early this morning we saw a small gray Dusicyon about 50 feet from our camp up on the hill among the boulders. The birds are not very abundant here. I've seen some doves or parrots. Left at about 12:00 noon and drove back towards Motupe. 2 mi. SE Monope, 106 ft., Depto. Lambayeque, Peru We drove off the road near a cornfield in an attempt to get closer to the sand hills. We got closer to the sand hills, but we also got the car stuck in the sand. We spent the later hours of the afternoon trying to get it out, to no avail. Set up a 100 ft. mist net on top of [illegible] a sand hill, above a saddle. Ray set some small Sherman traps along a brush fence and I set 23 snap traps on sand hills where cappariss bushes were growing. 8:00 pm We went gecko hunting. Dr. Koford & I each got a gecko. Mine was running along the rocky twiggy sand near the edge of Cappariss bushes. We passed by one of my traps and there was a Pseudomys gerbillus in it. I heard bats, but none were caught. August 22 8:00 am Still trying to get the car out. Nothing in the net. Ray caught 1 mouse, and I got 7 more. Only 2 of my mice are very big, both males. The mice were gotten underneath the bushes in the sand,
