I caught 6 mice - 5 Phyllotis darwini, and 1 new mouse, with shorter ears than darwini and a very short tail. It looks like a Phyllois. I caught it by the base of the tail in a trap set beneath a brush on open rocky slope of a gentle hill.

We drove down to Taca, arriving at about 18:30am, and spent the rest of the day there getting necessary chores done.
