Miguel Reing 1969 journal 111 Sept. 3 (cont.) 5 mi. SW Otuyco, 8000 ft., Depto. La Libertad, Peru from a large rocky brush pile. It headed towards my 2nd snap trap, about 12 feet from me and I got a good look at it. It looked like a long- tailed weasel, but it was larger. The body was a rich reddish brown and the pointed head was darker. There was a white ventral and a long thin tail. It moved my trap, then saw me and ran down the hill through the brush and rocks. The trap it moved had a Phyllotis andium in it. Discarded mice: 3 Aleodon, non-breeding, 5 Phyllotis andium, one tail saved for flea specimen. 30 mi. S Trujillo, Depto. La Libertad, Peru We got to Trujillo at 3:30 pm and stayed until about 5:00 pm. Then we headed S on our way back to Lima and went 32 miles by the Panamerican highway. At 6:30 we saw a dirt turnoff that lead to a rock quarry, where we are camped. I heard a couple of bats. We are in a barren hilly region that is very rocky and open. The night is warm and windless. Sept. 4 20 Km N, 6 Km W Choncaj, 800 ft., Depto. Lima, Peru Left our overnight campsite at about 7:00 am and Got here at 2:40 pm. We each went viscacha hunting here at the Lomas. I set 2 steel traps at entrances to what looked like viscacha burrows beneath large boulders. Some droppings are fresh but most are very old. According
