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,

11:00 a.m. I caught a lizard along the road (MAL 379). We

towards Santiago de Chuco. Will probably return if there are
no magister higher up.

We got here at about 4:30 p.m. The pass here is much
