dite [[??]] "Arremon-type" finch listed as [[Roman numeral]] XXX [[/Roman numeral]] in list

April 2, 1963
Near Tarma

Have been working in same areas today and yesterday, plus a little higher area and several lower areas (11,150 ft to 8540 ft). Still [[underline]] no [[/underline]] signs  of mixed flocks. In addition to the species noted yesterday I have seen several Gray + Yellow Finches ([[Roman numeral]] XXXI [[/Roman numeral]]) and one species of Sporophila ([[Roman numeral]] XXXII [[/Roman numeral]]), between Tarma and Palca. Also heard at least one bird singing songs like [[underline]] Catamenia "homochroa-minor" [[/underline]] near Quito, above Tarma. There are also lots of Andean Sparrows and Black-headed Goldfinches everywhere. Also some [[underline]] Phrygilus unicolor [[/underline]] above Tarma. No associations of any sort between any of these species


April 4, 1963
Near Tarma

Today I worked in a humid area, ranging from 8125 ft to 9000+ ft. Some parts of area thick scrub. Other parts open scattered scrub. Still other parts grassland. Occasional trees. Came across 2 Firebellies, and one pair of PL Altapetes, in addition to species previously seen. But still no trace of any friendly association of any kind!

NO TRACKES OF ANY MIXED FLOCKS DURING LATER WORK IN TARMA AREA 

Transcription Notes:
Handwriting pretty difficult to read. Referred to wikipedia article on list of birds of Peru to try to help discern what some of the words are. Still some words I just can't make out.
