C. Koford 31 Journal March 20th, 1951 To Camana, Peru. Lizards (same as splitnose ?) on rock walls which held sand above road. The road went inwards up steep grade (summit about km .817, pedom:4198), then down switchback to new valley at mouth of Pisco River. This valley little cultivated, but some cotton & olives. Many bushes, fresh lagoon near beach. Perhaps good area for collecting. Small whitened island near mouth canyon. Reptiles. Over another rocky hump & down to small village where houses were squarish with flat roofs & limit of bundles of reeds on long leaves tied tied standing vertically and tied to crude log supports. No cultivation; perhaps a fishing village. Then much of road too narrow for passing. Finally descends switchbacks to a green valley about 1 mile across & much cultivated. River muddy & 300+ yds. wide but bridge modern (steel & concrete). Again reed houses or bamboo houses with flat tops. Many plastered with mud. Brief moment with man at garita who merely ask ed if I had papers. Saw many small lizards in this valley and a Butio (?) mostly white underneath & with some white on upper side wings. At speedometer 4230 saw 2 condors (sand & rocks). At speedometer cross ed a clear stream about 15' wide, first clear stream seen. In this area beach was wide & sandy. Piles of shells (big clams?) showed activity of the few local people. Speedometer 4248, a wide lagoon inside a bar at edge of ocean. This lagoon continued toward Camana - much monkey ground. About 100 square miles of green cultivated area at Camana. Many orchards of bananas. Cotton fields. Many mud & reed houses. Some houses with pitched roof (A) with roof as well as side cover ed with mud. Gas at the town - able buildings & collectibles. About 100 curious persons gathered to look at the trailer & climbed on various parts making it unpleasant for us. We left town after
