Mymel Lewis 1969 Journal 122 Sept. 10 (out.) 10 mi. WNW Paguis, 13000 ft., Dept. Ceyaculo, Peru This morning, too. I discarded 2 peuters - a juvenile ♂ and a non-feeding ♀. 11:30 am. I checked a few of my traps nearby and found a young Akodon boliviensis in one set at the base of a rock wall. 12:30 pm. We are breaking camp to look for tinamou. Nothing in any of my other live traps - apparently P. boliviensis may be active only in the early morning or later in the afternoon. Ray saw 4 vicuñas at rock formations a little less than a mile away. We spent the afternoon hunting tinamou in the area where we saw them yesterday, but saw neither the birds nor any sign of them ever having been there. At 4:30 we headed W from the headquarters and trapped along an area of large rocks + various bushes. Ray set out about 30 snaps, as did Dr. Koford. I set about 20 small shermans + 20 large folding shermans. There were many holes with droppings in them. I set traps at these places, among the bushes, and a few were a less out in the open. I saw cluster of droppings out in the open that were unusually angular. We are spending the night at headquarters and will collect the traps in the morning. We estimated the locality of our trap site as 1½ mi. WNW Paguis, 12000 ft. Heard frogs calling in the stream near headquarters last night.
