Manual Logs 1969 journal 13 July 2 Papa Leon Tree, 150+ ft., Depto. Lima, Peru This morning at 6:30 am we checked the traps we left in the Jellensea last night. We caught 5 mice: 1 Phyllotis darwini and 4 Mus musculus. The Mus were caught in the sand near Jellensea. I caught 2, Ray caught 1, and the Pearsons caught 1. The Phyllotis was caught by Ray on the top of the hill in a man-made rock pile. All were ear-tagged and released. We then proceeded to look at the area north of where we are staying, and found an area 7 km. ENE of San Bartolo where on one side of a wide valley is rocks Jellensea or steep rocky slopes and on the other side in sandy slopes. This area is undisturbed and away from the garbage dumps and cultivation. Dr. Pearson & Ray set about 65-70 small Shermans in the rocky slope. 3:30pm. Ray, Carl, & I went back to the area behind our housing development, past the garbage dumps and into the rocky canyon with lilies & cactus growing in it, .8 km ENE 200m. of Pucusana. Ray & I set about 60 snap traps among the rocks. Dr. Pearson and I took chromosomes of an Aleodon and another Hemosomys tonight. The chromosome material seems to be turning out OK.
