Journal 107 Mymal Keong 1969 Sept. 1 (cont.) 10 mi. WNW Santiago de Chuco, 13000 ft., Dept. La Libertad, Peru Orzonyms in this one of his traps set in a small cave this morning. Ray caught a Colomp sorellus and a Phyllotis pictus in nearby rock piles. Last night was cool and slightly windy, but this morning was not frosty. Ray shot a finch and a farnarid here. Further up the road he got a Reed snipe. We broke camp at about 10:30 am and drove 4 miles up the road. The habitat is much the same. There doesn't seem to be a definite pass, but much of the road extends at the highest point. We were camped at Km. 250. We drove back to km 103 where it is a little brushier, and made camp. 15 mi. W Quiruvilca, 11000 ft., Dept. La Libertad, Peru 3:30 p.m. I set 23 snap traps and 21 small shermans up and over a steep hill 1/2 mi. from the campsite. The habitat is mainly trench grass and rocks + rock formation and a few brushes. Alternating snaps and live, I set the traps up the hill and down the other side, placing them in crevices under rocks and holes in the ground. At the bottom on the other side was a small, scrimpy rock coral, where I set a few traps. D. Koford set his traps in the brush. He found a mossy understory with mouse droppings + tracks. Ray set snaps + small shermans along the road at a rock + mud wall. I saw some mouse
