Little water and appeared, but fairly bright green. Extensive stands of 50' paratudo tall blue-gray tree (= paratudo), well spaced, many w. termite nest at base. (Last part of "xerodo" had complete ground cover, area of thick palms, or of bamboo (?). Also sparse" of palms + 70' tree in grassland. Took photos. Landed at Reto's Acurejos, still. 2 yrs oldy. About 3 wooden houses. In yard, fajiciera tree w. small long-tiled patio, caribeola (white fruit, red meat). A white (nearly all) flycatcher (?) = "jiguire". Ocumi palms, and tall fan palms (coconos). | One man there said much game; over trees. But also said he came about every third day, & no mention of ovens. | Off again to W., over paratudo. More photos (t & red). Large area of regularly spaced low termite mounds, like maria mounds; perhaps 10 m. Between crests, no central hole; shaded; then in dryer grassland. Rio Paraguaia, conspicuous arched bridge. Reto's of Puirol, 2 wood houses by river; still. 2 years. Hells to west & S., but flat horizon to N & NE. 4-5ft. high termite mounds about 100 yds. from river. Burn 100yds. wide. Trees 5-6' tall w. yellow blossom. A caracana pinkish-top termite mound - saw hole 6" hole high up, smaller near base (burrowing mambele?), but very few had no opening.
