C. Koford 27 Journal March 15, 1951 No. Chorillo, Lima, Peru. km. 22 is an hacienda where Venturo wines are made. The muscat grapes (uva italia) being passed by the roads were large & fresh - best I have seen eaten. Avocados (palta), fresas, cantaloupes, cherimoyas, & other fruits available.

Saw several specimens of an ex- extremely pale Demodocus nativus from the Chincha - much lighter than on mainland on this white guanaco island (why?). We talked of porpoises & Cventico told of seeing them among the fish on the Dos Dock at Callao. Therefore Joven, Victor, Cventico, & myself went to this fishermen's dock. Thousands of bonito piled there from small motor boats about 30' long. Appar- ently netted. About 10 catfish 4-5 feet long, about 20 sharks (hammerheads, threshers, others) on the
