Nymal lens 1969 journal 12 July (cont.) Papa León Juce, 150±ft., Depto. Lina, Peru. Pearson set about 30 folding shermans along the highway (when we saw all the prints this morning). I set my traps in the sand near the Tillancia. The sand is fine and has no lichen in it. The Tillancia strikes are as being somewhat old, as there is much black mattering of it beneath the new growth. A plant doesn't get more than a foot high or so. The bottom part dies off and is prostrate. I saw mouse tracks : :: and tried to set them along what appeared to be pathways. Also I saw fox tracks. Perhaps they go along areas where they smell mice, so I tried to set them where I saw fox tracks. A somewhat strange bird print was prevalent, too : There were ~ 7 inches apart, and at times looked like the bird had been scratching. Mice prints were often found near these tracks.
