Myrmal Leung 1969 journal 105 Aug. 3 (cont.) 5 mi. SW Otuzco, 8000 ft., Dept. La Libertad, Peru a dry brush surrounding it. The magister was down close to the bottom of the canyon. 10 of the mice were caught in snap traps, and only 1 Aboder, in a brushy rock pile, was caught in a small Sherman. I'll discard 4 mice - 2 juvenile andium (♀ 12 g., ♀ 16g.), and 2 small Aboder (♂ 16g, ♂ 16g.) The magister I got is the northernmost extension of the magister range, exceeding the magister in the Cosma valley by about 50 miles. 11:00 a.m. I caught a lizard along the road (MAL 379). We are getting ready to leave this area for now and drive up towards Santiago de Chuco. Will probably return if there are no magister higher up. 10 mi. WNW Santiago de Chuco, 13000ft., Dept. La Libertad, Peru We got here at about 4:30 p.m. The pass here is much like the area around Callaw Pass. There is primarily gobin here in this puna zone. We set snap traps down the hill towards the creek. There are fairly large rock formations there, and I set my traps in spaces holes created by them. I found what look like viscacha droppings, and there are small caves that have these droppings in them and smell very animally. I set 1 small steel trap at the entrance of one. There is a slight wind and it is cool here. The little creek has clear water, although there is not much water. The drainage on the side of this pass which we came
