Mycinal Lees 1969 Journal 26 July 10 (Land) Papa Rein Tree, 150+ ft., Depto. Lima, Peru grey heronne droppings the size of squirrel droppings. The larger tracks were: ::::: this size, and had typical mouse locomotion, leaving tracks like: There were foot tracks and also tracks of the bird Borinus, with large bird droppings. The small print seemed more abundant on the lower part of the slope while the large ones were more evident in the intermediate level. Towards the top, where little Iellansia grew, I found few tracks, but this was rockier soil and perhaps tracks don't show up as well. Maybe the mice are active under the Iellansia mats. This whole area seems to have old Iellansia with a lot of matting. The plan is to put a Callon line through this area of fairly fresh Iellansia Tonight we observed various captive species of flylites. There is a remarkable contrast in behaviors. All the P. darwini (limatus + porticulis) are much more docile, while the P. anicus are jumpy and nervous. The high altitude P. darwini porticulis also have not built nests whereas the others have. Plans for the study area are soil samples (seed core, floating, etc.), arthropod censusing, point samples, Callon lines, etc.
