Myrmel Leung 1969 Journal 101 Aug. 28 (cont.) 9 mi. NW San Miguel, 8000 ft., Depts. Cajamarca, Peru in our already terribly misshapen gas tank. We patched this with soap. 3 mi. N Oyotun, 1000 ft., Depto. Lambayeque, Peru We arrived here at about 6:30 pm. It is a little valley with gentle hills of rocks and tall cactus (up to 9 or 10 ft. high, each arm 4-sided [drawing], the sides curving inward). Ray set 20 small shermans, Dr. Koford set 17 snaps, and I set 20 snaps and 20 small shermans among some rocks, Capparis bushes, and under cactus. 18:30 pm. Dr. Koford and I went gecko hunting. Altogether we found 14 geckos and 4 lizards. The geckos are probably all the same species. They are small and active. We didn't see any on the flat, but up the the hill, generally near the tall cactus, they were fairly numerous. I heard lats calling all the time we were out. The geckos may be using the decaying, porous parts of the cactus, or the exposed root portions for shelter. Last night was warm and not too windy. The lizards may be nocturnal, a we way just have scared them up. The flat is pretty heavily grazed, has finer sand and fewer rocks. Aug. 29 6:30am. Checked our traps. Ray caught nothing, Dr. Koford caught a young Phyllotis auriceus under a Capparis bush, and I caught a small auriceus in a rock pile. Six other of my snap traps were
