Yesterday we looked in an old cave at Punta Gorda, near the high tide marks, where Anders Nielsen, Danish druggist of Iquique, once found Desmodus (he showed us one in alcohol). Mann has taken only 3 or 4; only only near Cuya (north Camarones River). He says there are Todarias at Arica. On a previous trip they saw many caracaras going to Pabellon de Roca - this time only 1.
