C. Koford Journal March 3, 1951 Lima, Peru of the director general of investigation, vigilancia, and identification." There we found out what was necessary. We had to get special paper bearing a seal and write the request on this in a special form, then go to post office and pay 10 soles plus 3.4 for an arms license. Picture must be affixed to application. Certificate from a doctor must accompany application. This is only for the first necessary permits. We got the paper & typed application at the museo, then went to post office but it had closed 5 minutes earlier (11:30) for the day (Saturday). In the afternoon we visited the Parque de la Reserva. A few ponds and statue, laurel trees. Saw a nearly black small finch, land-tailed (?) pigeon, many black mallines (gallinazos). Returned to hotel. The Museo "Lavin Prado" quite seedy. Birds stuffed and crammed into or on top of glass cases. Barely or not labeled. A few articulated skeletons. I did not see the study collection. However, got a general idea of what might be seen, about 5 mounted condors with the other birds. Ortiz and another man spoke English better than my Castellanos. The botanist Ferrera was listed on a schedule of courses. One man who was studying mollusks also said that the color seemed to be better adapted to feeding on fish on the coast than to feeding on the scene awilde in the mountains and that one could usually find many in the Rios Bay region at this time of year. I was to meet Ortiz Monday morning to continue work on the gun permits. The "Noidanger," steamer carrying my equipment, was to arrive March 9 at Callas.
