Nov.25 Drizzle almost all day. Visited the Fundacion and Gallopin's.
Weather cleared at 7 p.m. Set 35 traps along lake front across
park
the road from the road to the camp ground. Such grass, mint,
blackberry, rose, Scotch broom, big Utopoague with quackel
roots, marshy places, ants set similar line, saw one lot
at dusk.
Nov.26 Morning partly clear. 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°. Put up nets, drizzling. Temp at 9:15 62°, a few
lots seen flying at 9:30. Started catching some at 10:15 at entrance to
mystis
garage (a night record). Still drizzling. 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.
Drove to the Mirihan RR Station east of Baribelo, good attic but no
lots. Then drove to Estancia Sonja on the highway at the Arfitectura and
talked with Sra Dolly Frag; no lots. Then returned to Estancia Carrol do
Piedras and put 2 nets over the water tanks. Evening clear, clear.
Only a few bats flying at dusk. Caught two (mystis) before 10 p.m.
