Caught 10 Anopyrge longi, 5 Athon (one of them a diff species), and 1 Putter morrigiana. Visited with Gallopin in Baribelo and with Aldo Brandon of INTA, who has been working on hares and rabbits. The Fundacion Baribelo is under- goina a budget crisis. At 8 p.m. drove out to the Hotel Lago Moreno. One Histotus hanging in a corner in attic of the garage, torpid. Air temp in attic about 12°.

More until midnight; them no more. Nov.27 Still drizzling. Nothing more in nets after about midnight. Note that mystis arrived after about 3/4 hr. of flying time, during drizzle, with fairly full stomach and dry fur. In fact, none had wet fur when removed from the nets. All 42, 9 mystis ad 1 Histotus. The wild rose here, unlike in Bolson, are not flowering yet. Compare stage of gestation of mystis. Put up one of its darker specimens.
