March 10, 1951 Callao, Peru it. He was understanding but had to pay the men, he said. The guard of the cars had to be paid $5/60 for 2 days "wage" too. Hitched jeep to trailer & put gas in. We rushed about from man to man getting signatures, had to go to Callao & cash traveler's checks to get money, etc. Missed by the one man - the last one - getting the car out today (Saturday). This means more pay for the watchmen - double on Sunday. Returned to Mangu Hotel. Shopped. Yesterday afternoon Enrique Avila called on me at the hotel. He spoke good English. Claimed to speak Quechua & Aymara as well, a native of Puno. Now he worked for Cea Adm. del Guarco studying the 3 main guanos birds ( Cormorant, Gula, & brown pelican ). He was rather quite a loud & showoff character - claimed to be born pal of Sterling Leopold, Wm. Vogt, B.C. Murphy, Aly Ustman, etc. He was hoping to leave the guanos so. Later this year & go to Cornell on a fellowship to study marine biology. He wanted me to send some mollusc specimens to someone named Termer at Harvard - he could not do without expert advice. He was about to start on vacation to Arequipa & Puno with wife & daughter. Going to give a few lectures at Univ. of Arequipa. Like everyone else he recommended seeing Nicholson at (M.D.S.) arequipa (vice-retin of U. of A.). He thought that Dr. Maxime Kuczynski Goddard, of Meraflor, could give me much information on the Puno region as connected with some religious group there. At present time Avila unable to go with me to guanos islands but offered to do so whenever oppor
