or eversion of old seed pods, soil is powdery, completely dry, only a few inches deep over clay. Other plants include numerous small fleshy-rooted succulents [illegible], a clump of small spiny castor, a few scattered [illegible] tufts of the brick-red steel-weed garden, and some powdery delonix. Lots of arthropod holes in the ground, mostly empty, but a few with spiders, dead beetles, and one with 1/2 live goblins. Dead small snake common, 2 live snake tracks to side of a rusty oil drum. Goblins not uncommon under tin etc at trash heaps. Lots of tiny foot tracks, large dog track, Burhinus tracks (rare). Under clump of Tillandsia we found only a few spiders; I saw no silverfish here although Carol saw some yesterday a little further up the road. Found one large scorpion tail, Carol saw a hummingbird. Fox droppings contained mostly scorpion, snail shell, mouse legs, hair, and one unidentified small rodent. The hard layer under the surface powder is covered with white, even on side hills the crevasses face south. It was in fog at 6:30 am arrived Tarata room and moved into house no. 35 28th of July, [illegible] Cloudy until about 8:30 a.m. Cleaned old house-cleaned Tarata. House cleared late, then left for Maravilla at 2 pm. camped at "Benson's farms" 3 pm (see his photo 8/5/68). We make it 12,900 ft, 6 km NE Tarata, round approximately on the Tafis sheet "Quimoflaga" because quimbo (Polyphiza) is the dominant vegetation and there is a lot of harvesting of it hereabouts. I put out just before dark 41 small shrimps baited with a mixture of crushed corn and

camp is at the edge of a "pampa" on a narrow ridge (4 km wide) between two very steep deep canyons. In the center of the ridge is a sloping, almost bare "field" with nothing growing more than a couple quirlis tall, perhaps 4 acres. Around it is a Polylepis "forest" - really bushes up to 10 feet tall but some with "trunks" up to 6 or 8" diam. and big enough to attract woodcutters. These are clearly dominant, bare + gravelly + stoney in between them, but with numerous flowering Lefidophyllum quadrangulare, also cushion cacti, orange flower Banksia buxus tiny grass tufts, low Ephedra, a flush droplet dandelions (in bloom), and a grey hairy all very dry and barely grazed. On both the north and south faces of the ridge are more bushes of composites, the red-ribbed Pterogyne flower etc., plus green clumps, less heavily grazed. The seemingly barren pampa is heavily used by llamas, vicuña, and a large lizard lives under a loaf-sized rock in the middle of it. At the upper edge of it too a few small yarcas come in. Sift at 1 pm for was arizos. Polylepis goes much higher, not much bowlgrass. Then over the first summit and camped at 13 km NE Tarato, 14,700 ft amidst gorgeous yarcas - Lefidophyllum garden at base of an igneous cliff. Put out 25 large slumons baited with oats + corn + Lefidophyllum blossoms + Sereno blossoms. ants put out 40 large slumons among big boulders. Night clear, -2° at 7 pm. foglighting at 8 pm saw one itrecoba. Sight 13 blustery wind came up late during the night. Temp at 6 am outdoors was +1°C, inside car -2°. My traps held

Sept. 23 Tarata. Sept. 24 Left Tarata 8:15 for Aseguia camp (2 mi. N Tarata, 11,500 ft.), and spent the day setting up a 6 x 15 row grid with 15- meter spacing. It includes quite a bit of Aseguia and some long-abandoned terraces, but only about 30 meters of good mouse wall on the study area. Several Ziolaemus alticolor seen around camp and a few on the area. Most of the area is on top of the ridge (here about 400 m wide), but rows E and F are on the steep north-west facing slope. Evening calm, clear, no wind, moon 3 or 4 days old. Sat. Sept. 25 Minimin 31° F. Breeze came up during night, blowing down canyon from the east. Ran traps at 6 a.m.: 13 mice (including a mojaveer that escaped without tagging at 8:17. One set of foot? droppings contained bird feather, mouse hair, grass, a few large fragments of bone, cactus ? skin. Saw only 1 lizard all day, a S. alticolor, at 5 set under the cliffs off the Aseguia a half mile and started a core to see if humming butter entered; 6 or 8 flew up canyon and kept right going, many other birds also flew up canyon at dusk. Put about 10 large stamens south of camp to pick up home range of tagged individuals for line and wings. Ants put 38 M S and 4 stamens up the Aseguia in green grassy and then rocky. Drove up the hill in afternoon to get fed for cactus abrocana. First Polylepis at 12,000 ft., first appreciable Sapindophyllum quadrangulata at a pass at 12,600 ft. Sept. 26 Clear + calm until about 5 a.m., then breeze. Min: 27°, at 2 P.M. 65°, 5° under feet ground 20°C. Ants caught Plm. mojaveer, Phalaris, Absolon boliviensis

Pearson 1971 .15-meterspacing quemiro 14,000ft. Laid out a 13 x 7 grid, in yaretos, Lepidophyllum quadrangulare, stinky derecio (2 spp), and cushion cactus. Saw 2 Liolaemus on the grid (E11+ and lower). In a half-hour walk saw about 6 other lizards. 3:15 shade temp. 7o, under rocks such as where lively lizard lurked 14, 20, 21o. 5 inches deep in gravelly soil in sun 11 1/2. At 6:47 a.m. before sun, air -5o, same gravelly soil +3o. Oct. 2 Night clear, calm, moon almost full. Minus 15oF. Grid at 6:30 a.m. Lost 3 abedon andinus and 3 phi. darwinii (1 dead), another abedon (dead) before noon. Anita with 20 oz trap caught 2 phi. darwinii. Also 2 dead darwinii in big thernamo overlooked by me when we were here before. Put 6 big thernamos in a cavers place at base of cliff with lots of drop-offs. Saw no lizards on area when running my traps at 1 p.m. The moisture at the edge of camp made short day (see Anita's notes) and small range (+-20ft). Oct. 3 Night clear, calm, full moon. Minus 6oF; at 7:15 a.m. before sun 18oF. On grid caught 5 phi-darwinii and 1 abedon. Anita, with 29 live traps around camp site. Caught 1 tagged phi darwinii and 1 tagged abedon andinus. Kept the andinus in a cage briefly; very wild. Saw him chow on yaretos seeds, Lepidophyllum, and both species of derecio. He picked up a few yaretos seeds & mumbled them. Idea several A pair? of peregrine hawks out on a cliff about 300-yds. east of the study/plot. They have been eating tinamous, hummingbirds, other birds, lizards, and a hystricomorph lower jaw too small for viscacha and not ctenomyx. Later ate dead zebra O.S.-4. At 9 a.m. with shade temp. -4o we saw a Liolaemus alticolor in yaretos-Lepidophyllum at the edge of camp, 6 ft from where we

5 Ph. holosericea and 1 calodorus undulus. In PM did plant census of grid. The hoop samples do not represent fairly the importance of the straight-leafed smelly Serena nor the crisped leafed smelly Serena, also possibly slightly Nototriche under busher. Oct. 4 Full moon, clear, calm, min. 9 F. Ph. darwini in wire cage in car with yucca seeds and twig of all local plants died. Bird traps caught 1 darwini. While running bird traps, saw 4 lime-worms up among the crops & cliffs above camp One was big beetle. Something has excavated around roots of long-leafed smelly Serena. One looked at had a big orange-red grub in the center of the stem; another had numerous cocoons. First cloud offered about 11 a.m.; at 12:45 it was grey-overcast to the east. Moon or sun clear later. First about 11:15 and 8 large Sheremian into cliffs at and above the hummingbird cave. At 2 p.m. cloudy bright, shade temp. was 8°, in hummer cave 8°. Flurries of snow. Saw L. altricolor at 1:30 at E7 on grid. Woodrat sets (2), dead-mouse bait had not been touched in 3 nights. Oct. 5 Full moon, some light overcast, min. 21°. Carol saw small dark lizard run into bush at Q12. Humeral droppings at hummer cave, which is only about grid. The two falcons are Falco femoralis. My trap at base of cliff at & above hummer cave caught Ph. darwini including two tags from the grid. Ants caught a tagged one way down to road. Albocauda escaped. Review of mammal fauna: Ph. darwini common nocturnal and nids ranging although more caught out in open gravel slide sets. Calodorus undulus found almost entirely near their

Left about 10 for Tarata, all day was cloudy or cloudy-bright, even down in Tarata, and it seemed on the mountains south of Tarata; may have sound at yareto camp. Oct 6 Tarata, some light clouds. Ph. darwini in cage overnight ate cactus seeds (cushion cactus) and fruit, and some twigs of Jafido- Phylums, In afternoon given more Jafidos + cactus and Jafido galls, ate cactus seeds avidly, then flesh of fruit. No yareto seeds Obsdon aridus overnight ate cactus seeds; no evidence of Jafido, Savio's, or yareto seeds, In afternoon at broad feed, then cactus seeds. 2 pellets under a cliff near the yareto study area contained: (1) pure hummingbird feathers + feet (2) pure lizard scales. Also another mandible of a redvent and skull fragment and mandible of a small hystricomorph such as abrocoma, Oct 7 Tarata Oct 8 " . The cactus Obsdon aridus and Ph. darwini chilensis don't like Jafidophylum quadrupedae, but love seeds of cushion cactus, and darwini likes the fleshy part of the fruit also 5at. oct 9 Left Tarata 8:45 for Toca Tilbados desert; arrived 11:45. The trocavia green crumble-leaf burkels at Trok Cauts turnoff had been eaten to the ground. Put out corner stakes of a 150x150 grid and set 41 small 8harnesses and 30 large harnesses around periphery at 15-m spacing and 3 rows. No footprints of mine but lots of small feet and a few big dog. Sables under almost first rock/piled up for tent (not on study area). Eve clear, cold, in afternoon steady breeze from south Toca from [illegible] (Tarata).

Pearson 1971 Sun Oct. 10 5 a.m. foggy, but sun up by 6 and fog disappearing, including a curious almost-colorless rainbow. Hairs soaked while running trails and Tillandsia wet on north side but not south. Very light freeze from north (Tarata), minimum temp. 36°. Our desert clear by 6:30, but still overcast + foggy a mile toward Tarata, and Tarata still completely overcast at 8:30 a.m. Curious acoustic effects; can hear (and a native could understand) a loudspeaker in Tarata. Camp is a little further north of the 10 km marker on the Tarata-Tarata road (about 10½ km). No Tillandsia is budding or flowering, nor seedlings, but it looks healthy. The dense and crescents extend east-west going toward the south; there are more of the little pink-red succulent on the area proper, nor the rusty-brillo babas, but some grow 100 yds north of the area. There is one 2-foot-high hard "cactus" within the area; it has choked and killed numerous Tillandsia's; others can't try to keep from being smothered. Trails noted, except a few dry undercuts of them (unspurring), 2 dead trails laden with mouse carcasses noted. Brief flash- quartz crystals sparkle lighting revealed no geodes or potter; too much glitter in soil to count spider-eyes. Saw small bird and lizard-gallo trips in the gully next of camp. at 10 a.m. put about 25 museum specimens in this gully. at 5 p.m. a Trepadorum? was in one of the trails. Changed the two soft trails. In a typical part of the grid, I marked off a 15 x 15 m section and measured and turned over all the Tillandsia's. There were 5-7 mats or rows and recorded in total under them 16 tiny spiders, 3 medium-small spiders, 1 long-legged micro-
Page 123
spiders, 1 Pseudoscopion, and 2 small Thyasaurans. Several collections of rather spherical empty beetle shells. A few small shells strewn about the general area. No geckos or lizards. I think the restriction is where the rocks are and there are more on the study area. Carol found a Gecko-like lizard out in the open about 50 m west of the grid. Yesterday's gecko was also about 50 m west; The area of Tillandsia spanned into 225 m² was 372,090 cm² = 16% coverage. The largest row was 700 x 50 cm. Root temp 72°, wet-dry 68°-59°. 1 P.M. open flat grid in sun, soil 3" deep 28°, 5" 26". Under large Tillandsia 3" 21°. The road dust is moving north leaving a trail of dead and drying Tillandsias. Oct. 11 Done fog gettled during night but AM was clear. A little dew cliftes off of car. A foth bed offered me set cautiously and stolen the hard from the roof; a foth scentod about 3 of the big shiny aluminum thermoses! Also 20 yds from tent, Early morning was overcast in Tacna. No trofs on grid touched. One in the rocky gulley had a mouse tail - Mus I believe. a gecko caught by Carol weighed 2 g. at 6:30 a.m. shade ground temp. 4" deep 18°, 5" deep 19°, 3" deep 15°, 2"-13° Under Tillandsia 5" deep 16°, 3" deep 16°. Under good gecko-like rocks (this): 13°, 12° in sun a flat rock in sun at 7:45 with gecko 14°. This location shall be known as 4 miles north Tacna, 3360 ft. The sterility of the study area proper with all its Tillandsias due to contrasted compared to rocks and gulley nearby is presence of rocks. The

3 species of reptiles couldn't care less about the Tillandsia. Spider dominant. See Nov. 5 for next analysis Off to Tarata at 8:30 to meet Benson. Plano lots, all day in Tarata, Zoolochia singing everywhere; English Sparrows also common. Oct.12 Tarata. Sunny and warm. Oct.13 Left about 9:30 for higher with Carl & Benson. Camped at our same place at 6 km NE Tarata, 12,400 ft (Queñafloja), measured out a grid in good bushy Queñahuecha solutus. gird 11 stations x 9, set at 4-6pm with large & small Sherman. Sunny and warm. Oct.14 minim 26º; clear. Ran traps at 6 a.m. on grid: 4 Darwin's at 2 Bolomips bendyochii, then again at 9 = 6 more Bolomips one q which escaped untapped & scorpion made a meal. No mice caught in clumps of Peño Queñuva, but a Bolomips was seen twice at the edge of a green clump next to the tent about 8 a.m. x Alrocoara trobe at a hole down near the turn of the road- also visceoba/printe, foot prints, and probably skunks. Carl saw a visceoba, about 150 yds from the grid, but I have not seen any droppings on the grid. The only dogard seen has been my old friend x Jodeum's multiformis under the sand store out off the Panfay. Did plant inventory with Carl in afternoon; 4 rows = 22 stations.. Hoof hasn't hit any coctus yet. Headlighting at 8 flushed Bolomips but nothing else, Oct.15 night less calm, 2 Phyllotie in the seven traps set for Alrocoara (two of two places with Alrocoara footprints and one with " droppings.

Then drove to Copago and Ancuora. Stevewyr/personne digging just north of Capago, but saw word board move (1:30pm). Had lunch at our former campsite 2 mi N Collofolco, 14,000 ft. The 3 tolas are common there: Barbaria, Gebeidhlylum rigidum, and L. quadruplex. Drove to Ancuora 3 p.m., a few huts, a chapel, and a school. Photo of school + teacher Mauro Sanigo Vilca, Correo Central, Juli, Calle Imprenta 122. Saw house cat in Ancuora (14,000 ft). Camped in tola - Festuca - Pterophyllum 1 mi S W Ancuora and set traps through tola, card along an abandoned stone corrals. Vegetation almost entirely Gebeidhlylum rigidum and these other two. Lots of open two burrows. Put out 35 large Sherman's, auto put out MS, and Seth large Sherman's, auto caught an Eliguedouts before 8 pm at an open two burrow. Oct-20 Fantastic frequency of lightning at 3 or 4 a.m. centered around a thunderbed very low on the northwest horizon. Night clear, calm, min - 2° F. My traps held 1 Bolowyr, 2 Eliguedouts, and 1 Ph. sublimus? Gebeidhlylum? In trap 3 one of the Eligimos appear to be birked. Auto caught 2 Goldcups, Eligivos, and 1 Bolowyr (dawn 6:30 am). Saw Bolowyr at 7am. There are a few heads of pilber cactus, much higher and more spherical than those so far seen. Also, around a rock hillock in the tola, were some differinde. Herd tinaworts, card found rhea feather and sandy a snake skin. The location 1 mi S W Ancuora, 14,000 ft. Nobody saw or heard otters two to go with all these burrows, although card saw a guinea pig outside one of them in open "pampa". Left 10:30 and stayed at Capago, then to a tola - busligrees study area 2 mi W N E of Collofolco, 14,000 ft. Carol and I

laid out grid 10 x 10 m with 20-m spacing. Lots of two burrows but saw none. Set 100 traps at double. Windy. auto + Seth set M5 and livetrap. Oct 21 1/2 mi W Chalkfields, 14,000 ft. Night clear calm, minus 6°. Rangered at 5:15 a.m.; 2 Eligmodontus q.q. Again at 8: nothing but saw Bolomys multiformis at F 3/4 south of burrow, and L. alticola at J6 running into the bush. Psecheats flew over grid + canoes along river. Counted sets of two - two mounds on grid; 59, but hard to tell which are occupied. The squirrel is not worst, so even fresh digging looks oldish + dry. saw no trees and heard none. auto caught 1 Colomys durilla, Eligmodontus + sublimis. Seth caught 1 Ph. solivensis; 1 Bolomys perlefschii; and Eligmodontus. auto says Ph. sublimis droppings are small spheres, she saw Ph. solivensis eating Zephrids rigidum. Carol notes that the south side of upate is always the dead side. In afternoon (windy) plotted clusters of two diggings and rated them 1 (very fresh, surely today), 2 (fresh, surely lost 2 or 3 days), and older (more than 2 or 3 days). Ignored really old, presumably abandoned ones, at least 28 sets. Oct 22 Night clear, calm. Minus 8°. Grid traps at 5:30 had 6 Eligmodontus, 1 Bolomys, and 1 juvenile Abraxoma (frozen). Auto caught a large Phyllotis darwin in the bush minus 100 yards W of grid. Fawns now includes Ph. darwinii, Ph. solivensis, Colomys durilla, Ph. sublimis; Bolomys perlefschii, Ctenomys sp., and Abraxoma cinerea. The solivensis near the river. Excavated the burrow in part of which the juvenile abraxoma two was caught. A typical 2-ft gray nest a few feet down, but there are 10 yards of tiny red two tunnels.

Oct.27 Tarata Oct.28 Drove to Hda. Pairumaini (Ountare) and camped roughly about 100 yds south of our 1946 campsite. Drive took most of day, a good between Challepales + stretch of mixed Festuca - plus north of, Mesguarung, and lots of good alfalfa pastureage. Saw no deer or turamure or vicuñas. Weather somewhat overcast. Benson caught 12-14 web trant. minimum) 24° Oct.29 Put out icln grid 8x12 rows with 15-m spacing. Fairly heavily grazed and, in scale of some rock outcrops, it contains some fairly bare patches, probably "typical" of the area. Later p.m., the owner dropped in; Sra - Gonzalen arriet, sister of the owner of Hda. Pairumaini. She says we are on Hda. Ountare and that it has not been nationalized. Various people fired without great success. small shernus Put q traps around adobe brick piles near camp. Slight overcast all day. Oct.30 Minimum 20°, mostly clear but not entirely. 9 live traps caught 1 osibol and 1 Colomys dullele, and 2 osibos, 1 berdepechhi, 1 duelle, mostly near grid. Anita's live traps in gulley caught 3 osibol; Benson's snags traps caught 1 Ph. sublimis, 2 akabon bolin, and 4 osilos, Later in the morning this line caught 2 Blomyc amvencuse and 2 ammoune got caught on the grid between 6 and 9 a.m. Moon 3/4 or 4/5 full. Day about half cloudy - bright. Oct.31 Cleared up overnight; minimum 4° F. Benson with 30 snags traps at base of a cliff north of camp caught 4 osibol. Anita with 17 large shernus at the base of the cliff shown in the altiplano paper caught 1 Colomys berdepechii and 1 Ph. osibol. Benson + Anita drove yesterday to the Pampas de Qwelleto in search of Ctenomys peruanus. They found old old burrows but nothing fresh and heard none.
Page 161
Anteaters are fairly common here. Have peckers? The [illegible] banks of the gulley next to camp is riddled with burrows and is a center of bird activity! Nov. 1 Clear, calm overnight, minm 9°, noon very hot, wet-dry bulb at 1:30 71°-42°; 2:30 still 71°, clear, breeze but felt stifling. Benson caught a Weston's jay in thick thicket along creek at 5:30 pm. (in swift trap but it survived overnight for cytoto). He also carped 2 Goldfinch petrus in heavy thicket near creeks, also 2 ozidiae, Anula in 19 large Sherman's at base of the cliff toward birds caught 3 berdeichini and 2 ozidas. Looked for frogs after supper, but only tadpoles in a shallow pond along the road. Full moon, Nov. 2 Night clear. Pulled up traps at 6 am. maybe a Ph. darwini out the grid; see specimen. Then Carol and I finished plant survey on grid. Not most all species of plants except for the bird-nest cactus, an Orestrochilus visited 4 or more of our red yarn markers while we were surveying. This area, like all our study grounded; this one dry cause. Horses nearby. on the area and on various 27° slope There are times of ancient agriculture hills nearby, plus recent plowing on others. No. of hideholes at mouse sites other than regular stations: A3-0, B1-0, B3-3, C8-9, D2-9, D5-9, E4-0, F1-0, F2-9, F4-0, F7-9, G3-1, H4-0, I4-0, J2-9, S4-9, K1-0, L7-1. I'm gathering this data it appears that the mouse sites were near outcrops, not invariably over with hideholes. In other cases there were hideholes beyond the range of the 2.2 meter plots.
Page 163
For birds note that there was nothing higher than 3 1/2 feet of 3 feet on the ichn area (not on the tolo or T. laburiae areas). Summary of plants on ichn area: no. of birdholes per plant station 0.34; birdholes per mouse station 0.61; birdholes per no-mouse station 0.09. Profile: 1st half meter 81.0% of board excluded; 2nd half meter 4.1%; 2nd meter 0.03%, Hoof sampler % coverage 50.0%; % coverage at mouse stations 54.6%; % coverage at no-mouse stations 48.0% Nov. 3 Tarata, I put 17 museum species and 1 large shrew in the big rocks south of town and along a stone wall with scattered bushes at the edge of a clover alfalfa field it drank. Benson put 20 MS along a wall at the edge of a young corn field. Nov. 4 Night clear, light frost on clover leaves. Combined catch was 13 Ph. magister and 3 Akodon boliviensis. Below the level of the big rocks, every mouse on the entire hillside surely lives in a terrace wall. Linnell of Benson's mice came from about 100 yds of wall and surely don't include all of them, let's say 1/2 phyllostis per 100 yds of walls = hundreds or thousands on that terraced hillside. at 3 PM drove up to the acequias camp with Benson and I put out 40 small shrews, mostly along road walks, some in thick brush in a gulley across the road. He put out +/- 50 long shrews and maybe 30 museum species. Clear. Nov. 5 Night clear + calm, breeze at about 4:30 a.m. No deer puddles. My traps had 7 phyllostis (mostly darwin but at least 1 magister) and 2 Bolomys berkeshii - all phyllostis put up except 1 darwin escape.
Page 165
One of Benson's traplines ran along the acequia from about A7 going grid to the other complete upstream. On this part of the line he caught 4 Phyllos - all tagged (4284 P.O. near A4), 447 registers 20m east of A3, 437 & 60m +/- east of A1, and near A5. He also had traps on the slope north of the reservoir and caught no. 433; this must be at least 200 yards from the nearest part of the grid. Reservoir was empty at 6 pm with no water going in. at 6 a.m. it was full, with no water going in. They must fill it at night to provide maximum irrigation water during the day. but water flowing out to join the acequia Dissected about 1/2 pint of coarse droppings from the gully near Tillaidsia study area. Contained mostly invertebrates (spiders, scorpions), bird (only a few feathers), garbage (tin foil, cellophane, watermelon seeds), 1 mouse molar, teeth and fur of a diastemomorph such as vigeola ! Also belly section of a large lizard or of a snake. No other mouse bones, no gecko bones seen. Use: 6 Left 8:45 for Tacna and coast. Dry dry dry until after Santa "north of" Colorados; then some flowers begin to offer. Sozo enters at Quebrado El Burro, then a section of green on a 1500 foot rocky cliff near a sea lion colony at Calate Morro Sana, which is 65 km west of Tacna. Went as far up the coast as a sheep hut at a cave occupied by a guano caretaker who had an ancient gun and about 15 pairs of cordovan feet. A dark lively small lizard lived right at the edge of the surf. Made camp about 200 ft above the rocky
Page 169
river a little above the grid, and Benson saw what may have been other tracks along the ocean while setting traps along the beach when various pellets and seals we have found several weasels, a house mouse, on albatross?, and many Phyllotice. The grid is loaded with lizards. Put traps out 4 to 6:30; small lizards were still out until about 6 p.m. Nov. 8 Nighted a.m. oversaw 8 phyllotice dominic in my traps. Benson got some dominica blue muss near the beach. He saw otter in the surf, plus droppings that contained mineral shells (small) and fish bones. Anita saw an otter curled up asleep on the beach, which Benson later collected. Left for Tacna 9:30 a.m. and spent all day getting car Rodeo, money, etc. Returned 6:30. Distance from Boca del Rio is 15.1 miles, almost all straight south for the zig at Quatroh de Buero, so maybe 14 miles up the coast from Boca del Rio which our road map is Dos Baños. The coastal cliff is surely Morro Sama. Nov. 9 The night and all morning oversaw or cloudy bright, only 3 mice in my traps and 1 Phyllotice Selbie in every rock. Spent morning roosting and marking lizards on study area. One big lizard seen out at 5:30 a.m., but saw no other until much later, 3 or more cordons flying at 5:35, but people were near cliff. Marked 17 lizards between 8 and 4:65. a passerby who owns goats & cows says it actually rains in may - june - july. Found about 100 terminal parts of scorpion tails on one rock. I in afternoon climbed to top of Morro Sama, it is
Page 177
1730 ft higher than camp. Set traps at the base of the cliff on the way up; about 25 musk specials, almost all in muskroot at the base of the cliff. Huge rivers of muskroot (in flower) covering angular stones blocks - talus, a few specimens of "fig" tree, a few bushes. Near the top is another species of yellow dairy bush with crinkly rough leaves. Arrived at the top at 3 pm and within a few minutes about 8 condors soared over, some as close as 30 ft. - young, middle-aged, and adult - judging by white wing color. Weather overcast. They stayed aloft 1/2 hour, looking me over. Just as 3 or 4 of them had descented and the others were about to land, 100 goats were driven over the cliff only 50 yards from them, so they left. So did I. At least 8 or more were resting at the usual spot on the cliff. A few stars at sunset. yesterday when the geatherds were milling around the cliffs there were 20 condors in the air at one time. A large, long-tailed, black chimel, strafed these condors. lizard shot by Benson weighed 37 g. Nov. 10 bright overcast, and all morning. Traps in the musk-root at the base of the cliffs caught 1 musk and 4 ph. dermini. Grid caught 10 dermini. Marked more lizards on grid in a.m. although not quite warm enough or bright enough for large numbers, up to 8:10 a.m. had marked 21 individuals. Then went out again from 10:20 to 12:00 and cruised between each row. saw 20 lizards of which 5 were worked over = 2 x 20/5 = 84 individuals. Marked 6 of these so that as of noon today there are 27 marked individuals on the grid.

Nov. 15 Tarata. Benson put 10 large stermans and 14 small folding sternums out at the Agrofecurria chacra late yesterday afternoon. This morning he had 2 cakedon bolinensis and 12 Pth. magister. nine out of 10 large stermans contained mice; the tenth was fled out in an acequia. Day mostly sunny. Nov. 16 Morning clear, no clouds. Ali's jeans soaking in water in patio had ice on them, but none on water trough. a collection of several dozen scats + pellets of fox + burrowing owl collected at Mono Sama contained, roughly in sequence of importance, Phyllotis, scorpion, Marivosa, large bird, large crustacean, mice, cakedon?, beetles + other arthropods, small bird, lizard. One rat- sized femur. Nov. 17 Tarata. Some cream? Nov. 18 Mostly clear. Drew up to acequias canals at 8 am and counted plants and hideholder. Sunny; still completely dry, no sign of rain. Saw 4 striped lizards during 3 or 4 hours on the area. The analysis of plant species revealed an enormous number of species, especially 1 small capsule-leaving plants. A bright, knowledgeable shepherd who came past looking for a lost sheep said that he was 55 yrs old and that the abandoned terraces near and above the grid had never been used in his lif- time and that there were no abandoned acequias to water them. Here, he concluded, it used to rain more. He referred with a sweep of his arm to all the uncultivated land and refused to admit that the lack of grass (which he lamented) was due to overgrazing or back at 4 pm. Saw no hummingbirds. The big trumpet bushes are almost through flowering; many of the seed pods on them contain grubs.
Page 185
nov. 19 Tarata nov. 20 Proceed to Rock Camp and counted plants. No change in the vegetation although there were some rain drops splattering on the ground. llamas were grazing in the dry wash (10,000 ft !). Saw 2 lizards or grid area, no other a large scale form dodo, blotchy one. The barberry-leafed thorn bush has a tubular blush flower about an inch long. Tobacco tomatoes still flowering; board Patagonia, 33 species of plants in our best samples. nov. 21 About 20 carnivores droppings from Rock Camp contained mostly fur, including Phylotis and Vizcacha !, also some vertebrates including scorpion, and some seeds. nov. 21 Drove to Yareta camp with Carol, arrived just before sunrise over the cliff. Clear & cold in morning, then clouded up about noon. Walked up to the hummingbird cave about 3 p.m.; waited out front for 10 minutes, then went inside. The two nests still there but no signs of hummers. Took photos of Yareta, no signs of spring. nov. 22 Saura Zavala, owner of the "our" house, who is about 50 yrs old, says that the terraced high up on the mountain have not been used in her time or in her grandparents' time. A frost has killed a lot of the corn between here and Acopina camp, as well as in local spots around town here. Most of it 1 to 2 ft. tall. Some potatoes also frost bitten. nov. 23-26 Tarata. On 26th in alfalfa terrace at edge of town at 5 pm saw flock of about 50 Zorotrochis spenalis. There was a little more singing than when we first came, but not like in Tacna. nov. 27 Tarata. Every day has been sunny in morning and clouding up in afternoon, usually with a clear patch under the clouds in the west so that the sun comes through (under) the clouds from about 5 to sunset (5:45),
Page 187
Drove Carol, Ali, and Sandy to the end of the road on the way to Chucatainai. Road ends about 1/2 hour walk above Chotala, which is a tiny village in a ribbon of green irrigation at the bottom of steep bare mountains. Chucatainai is famous for fruits "of all kinds". Some of their pears, which we saw, are more than an inch in diameter. Dec. 1 Drove with Carol & Peter to Yurata camp; arrived about 8:15. Sunny at first but soon scattered clouds. A caracara found our garbage in less than an hour. Grid [illegible] and vegetation looked the same; moisture in soil not far down. Saw one very small Rioseus altirostris maybe 50 yards below the grid; must have been recent hatchling. Measured some of the biggest yaratas, one covered an area of 32.4 m^2. The frost bitten corn above town is still alive but looks awful. Dec. 3 Left Tarata 9 a.m., saw 2 Tucantus at the forest place W of the Yurata camp (about 11 km NE Tarata) and another one with 5 young or 2 males old in the tola about 2 or 3 miles south of Challejalea. Miserable stony road from Ancuamaro toward Pijacoma. At one point 5 km of beautiful new road, then impassable, so 5 km back to alternate rocky guide. Stopped for about an hour at a two shot with fairly large red earth mounds and set 8 snares hoping to get Coturnix decodon. Got 4 spring antipes; then Carol found a mound that was not decodon so we drove on. Two other places had Peruvian-like hordes and guinea pigs, but we heard no building calls. Most of this from Ancuamaro north is beautiful Festuca and/or tola (Bromus rigidus) with occasional Adesma scapes. Very few people. Saw only 2 vehicles all day (Tarata to Pijacoma). Should have been
Page 189
full of vicuna and rheas. Saw more. Camped at dusk in ichu along a stream at 13,200ft in a red-rock gorge with lots of caves. A mothofprola ran off as we pulled in. Day sunny and very warm. Clouds to north and east Dec.4 No hummingbirds or rests in about 6 nice caves on north-east side of valley. No Chupinquea but numerous drople orange-red trumpet flowers poking up out of the ground on the steep slope. Clouded up during the night, all overcast at 5 a.m. Carol looked in caves on S W side of valley and found a baby bat lying on the floor above; no hummers in the caves but she saw one. Locality shall be known as 4 miles 13km SSW Popayana, 13,200ft. Huacullani and to Dec.5 Drove through Pinpama to Pichupichini looking for tucos-tucos. a gorgeous elevated straight road back toward Pichupichini and a landing strip has been abandoned almost impassable. No tucos, neither lemurdon nor pervanus. Drove to the border of Desagradors and waited about 2 hrs. for the advance to finish level; a muddy garlogo-stream dump. Bolivia offered a striking contrast immediately. neat towns, painted pastel building, lots of metal roofs, and fields planted and green. Obviously earlier rain here. Gasoline + most in abundance in Suazi. ate supper then, then camped in a field some rain while driving, and road with puddle in many places Dec.6 A few sprinkles dawn. Breakfast in Ja Paz, then south by paved road through slight drizzle and down to Carchola where we turned east toward Sa Paz. Lots of bunchgram (spars) atyplana, barely good enough to cultivate, but they try. Not many clowns + albinae. Then over the rutua toward Cochabamba. Much more high country than Chod
Page 191
remembered. Done yareta (with smaller rosettes) sparse bunchgrass, cultivation up to (4,000 ft.), not much grazing. Was cloudy, drizzly, or foggy most of the time. Drove late after dark in search of an acceptable campsite. Ended up on a (hopefully) unused road with truck car right in middle of its road. Dec. 7 Clouds disappeared during the night; morning clear. At least 30 people walked through, came at various times during the night. We are on edge of steep canyon with brush, bunchgrass, puffer tree, and coffee farms in the distance with newly plowed fields, new corn, etc. Our elevation is (illegible) 10,600 ft.; we are at a place called Chulucakasa, km 62, 14.6 miles by road from Parotasi (which is 8430 ft.). Took photos of farm and steep fields. Saw dead slantle and quince pig (?) droppings. In the 25 large folding Sherman's set after dark last night I caught 1 Phyllostus wolffsohnii. Left about 8 (a truck wanted to get in to road to collect yeso rocks) and drove down to Parotasi, then along the river toward Cochabamba. Camped 10:30 am in molle, acacia, mimoso /brush, cactus; 4.9 miles by road from Parotasi, 8500 ft. Call (illegible) miles direct south = also Palo Boracho, Payecamba. Put out 5-5 live traps at 3:30; ants & centipeds cut about 50 also. Hot. Dec. 8 Rain during night, stopping about 6 am. Maybe 1/2". The dry wash by camp with lots of muddy water. My traps held 2 Phyllostus, ants & cent each caught a Grasshopper. Broke camp about 10:30 and drove to Cochabamba. Things looking quite green. Left Cochabamba about 6 pm and drove about 15 km along the Santa Cruz road. Camped in acacia Prosopis thorn scrub. Mudboots of frogs calling in the valley = full of puddles from rain yesterday, as we set

eating papaya at bat-flying time, an army officer, loaded by rifle barrel peaking over a rise 20yds away, strode into camp and wanted to see our documents! cloudy at 6 pm, clear by 9, clouded again in the middle of the night, then clear at its morning. Dec. 9 all day on the Sucre road. Goes into almost-all-flower country between Cobas and Epigonus. Epigonus to Sucre is mostly their samb; a curious "savannah" of bare red earth and stones with widely scattered trees of many kinds including mulato, acerola, etc. Enough rain so that everyone is plowing and planting corn (behind thorn-branch fences). Some corn three high and in a few places, especially along the Rio deando or one of its tributaries, ready to shake. The town of Totoro is burning, all tile roofs. In the absence of adequate any sort map of Bolivia, we bought a big wall-map in Cochabamba. It turned out to be ludicrously absurdly inaccurate. It rained a few sprinkles during the day. Confied along the river at about 1km45 from Sucre in bare-ground thorn forest. Overcast, We didn't actually see many geats during the day, but lots of browse lines and absence of ground cover in spots of enough rain to rice corn.

Pearsen 1971 Species account Abrocoma cinerea Feb 11 6 am NE Tarata, 12,900 ft. Large Abrocoma set at large opening in a rock retaining wall below road and baited with ripened rolled oats and cracked corn. Caught a large abrocoma between 6 and 8 pm. Doiled in trap. Feb 12 Put into screen cage. Very docile, ate blossoms and leaves of Haplophyllum Sabidophyllum quadrangulare as soon as offered, but ignored Barbarea, Sevens, and cactus. A Phyllotis noguerai was caught in a tree a few feet away, and at 8 p.m. a Bolomys bedecollii was in the same trap; released. Feb 13 Bolomys again in the trap at 6:30 a.m., penned. There was a half cup of abrocoma droppings on the floor of the hole in the wall (4 feet above ground). Droppings look like mouse, some with longitudinal lines. On our way back from the campfire we stopped at noon at our camp at 6 am NE Tarata and there in the farthest least rocky part of the pampa was a sprayed abrocoma cinerea. Between 6 and 10 vehicles had passed during the dark hours. Our captive continues to be completely "plastic," likes to be handled. Have tried him on a great assortment of foods but he has eaten only two stems + blossoms of Sabidophyllum quadrangulare and carrots, at night he makes a very soft, mellow, gentle pig-like sound. Feb 25 Took him up to 12,600 and released him under Sabido quadrangulare. He ate Sabido, a tiny succulent yellow-flowered forb, a few leaves of Phylepis, and bark + a few twigs of Ephedra. Feb 26 Ate lots of Phylepis overnight. But actually active only late at night (4 am?)

Looked under oodles of rocks thereabouts but nothing else. Big ones in damp places have frost under them, numerous lace spiders. at 10:15 a big S ran under big rock into shallow burrow; his temp 31°, burrow 4°, air 8° (shade). Sunny. Moon watched the 2-tailed S from the rock of yesterday. Grazed on steep forks, when cloud covered sun he ran onto flat rock. Oct 7 The large S from 13 km NE Tarso that Ali has tamed (in one day) and walking in the patio weighs 30g and snout-vent 98mm, Eats flies, so far we have not seen it grazing. Also eats ants, Oct 15 Photo'd the one under the small rock in the pumpa at 12,900'. Like Ali's captive, he her becomes quite tame and permitted Pearson to photo at 2 feet distance. He was out with shade at 4° c.

Pearson 1974 March 31 (Sat) This is the "best" Loma I have seen. It is not wet + drifty like some of those in central Peru in August, it does not have trees of Atiquipa and probably not as reliable moisture, but atiquipa is so heavily grazed that [illegible] the northless Erindeta dominater. Bello Union has sandy glass, a variety of flowers, cactus. I doubt that it has the big yellow lillies of Papa Leon ete. What saves it from the fate of atiquipa is the absence of a stream. When a stream is present, people use it for irrigation which (a) keeps the human / population high and (b) keeps the livestock high. When the Loma is all eaten out, they toss the cattle [bull], burros, horses, sheep, and goats a handful of alfalfa or weeds (alternative prey) to keep them going until a sprig of grass appears in the Loma. Then they toss their loads up into the hills for the day. Drove south and camped after dark at Atico. When passing Atiquipa I noticed two nice valleys just north, with lots of trees. The more northerly of the two had a road going up into it, apparently into the tree. April 1 Drove most of day and arrived Uroquayno 4:30 p.m. Supplies, then off the Cajones-Toquejols road to a campsite, down now place to get off the road until about [illegible] 12,700 ft (Attwater had said 1500 ft at Uroquayno), so we parked at side of road (very broad road). Yankee miner, night clear. April 2 Morning clear. Front on sleeping bag. Vegetation a mixture of tola, weeds (mini-rod) and cactus. Drove up to a benchmark (4048m) to spend day.

1975 Nov. 26 (cont.) The rock lizard was then sprayed (rock half) with silver = no diff from control liquid. Then sprayed all over (top side only) = no obvious diff. Then sprayed bottom all over = slightly cooler (less than 1/2 degree). Then chose 4 adult females of about same size and placed them out in bright sun on Pycrophyllum. Their equilibrium temperatures were in this order from hottest to coldest: black, normal + belly silver, silver all over + under, range 4 to 5°. The above four were then moved to a cold rock covered with sleeping bag. During cloudy-bright they were consistently black warmest, normal next, silver coolest (silver belly excepted). The difference never exceeded 3°. When moved back to Pycrophyllum they sorted out the same, not diff 4°. Then compared dead #1 with live #2 (yesterday's pair) placed out on Pycro in wind and hot sun. The live one reached 36° then dropped off a little. The dead one read 37°. Good comparison because the live one lay motionless the whole time, so the position of the dead one matched well. The live one did not overheat (but sun/Pycro and windgave up to 22 1/2° and did not keep him smooth after. Natural selection favoring the skin color of lizards for thermoregulatory purposes doesn't seem to have improved more than a degree or two C° over black or silver! Then ran black and silver film canisters in wind and hot sun, small hole on shady side covered with masking tape. The Schnabels then slid through a small hole in the tape. Tight fit. The black can ran about 5° warmer - and same temp. as a lizard!!

only stunned (its other with headquarters buried), several other guinea pigs scared off or squashed. Also several lizards, one smallish rattle snake (not collected), one "gophersnake", and one "blind snake". The latter was squirming in the works of the bulldozer. Then went to Monte Coman and loaded (we thought) for Goico and media Juva by the "easy" southern road along the railroad. Our information was garbled or incomplete and we spent the day herding more or less east between the railroad and the Rio Diamante. All flat monte (farrea and many other lumber, occasional than trees, occasionally a plot of pampa grass. Lots of birds and guinea pigs, the latter sometimes 8 ft up in trees and bushes. They (guinea pigs) surely are one of the most important converters here, about 2 o'clock we were having an overheating problem and losing a pint of water every mile or so from the boiler. After stopping at several Puestos for water (precious house with thorn corrale, goats, horses, cows, a well about 20 ft. deep), we cut a hose and bypassed the heater (which was blocked). About 3 o'clock came to a sandy place that I didn't think we could cross. Went back to the last Puesto where we had inquired about the route and were assured that we could make it. 10 minutes later we were hopelessly stuck. Worked for 3 hours with shovel, poles and brushes, still stuck when a gaucho from the Puesto showed up, helped dig etc., then hitched his horse to the front bumper with a rawhide rope, mounted, and with motor + horse we progressed a couple of car lengths. Then repeated. But by 7, Confided in the middle of the road about a mile further on. Anita put out 9 Shermana and 12 museum specials while I walked back to thank the gaucho. Tadarida (see Oct. 23) Oct. 23 Night clear, temp < 38 F. Numerous two-toed calling during the night. A few last night also. It is a remarkably deserted
Page 503
sound, tu - co pause tu - co pause etc, frequently ending with a tuc tuc tuc tuc. Heard it after daybreak but not during sunny part of day. At an abandoned, crumbling puente yesterday found a Todarida between a ceiling beam and a wall. Since we were lost all day, I guess lengthily at 10 km N [illegible] Amila's traps held one mouse, in scrub along road, no grava. Battery ran down, motor barely turned over. Waited about an hour for warmer weather, then it caught. Drove to Orajera, obtained, then drove to Monte Covan. Picked up 3 hitchhikers on the way. Saw a pair of Bolichetus, lots of guinea pigs, one small ch arnoldella (not the mulita and not the pichi), many caracaras (verloft because of the telephone poles, which are in short supply in the monte). The guanacos should have some big snake + raptor/predators. Drove south to Orajera, then along the railroad to Monte Covan (lunch) then to San Rafael for lubrication and new battery, [illegible] orjara then towards El Somiedo but stopped at the RR Station Los Parlamentes, which is 60 km NNE Malargue and, according to the station master, 1,170 m altitude. It is at the edge of a huge pampa with almost pure juncosa, very sandy soil; north of the station is sago brush. Put about 12 museum speicle around piles of quebrado RR ties in the juncosa, and strung a hot net in the courtyard of the station house. Wind moderate stopped before dusk, returned somewhat during nights, [illegible] set two tuc's other tuffs in the fence. Oct. 24 Caught 6 Todarida in the net, 5 of them before 9:30 p.m. are ant star lizards in the mouse traps, as two tucos. Station master calls them tuldugues and decides their call tuc tuc. He seems to be a good informant. Says there are lots in the attic winter and
Page 505
summer, but snow in summer. Winter temps get down to -10C. He hunts lots of medium-sized armadillos. People from Matorque come and hunt many graceros in nearby hills. Water table is only a meter or two down, somewhat salty, a layer of salitre. Oil + gas wells and lots of drillship. He says there are abundant cool mines near both El Bosmedo and Molargio (up roads to the west, I think). One of them has a hotel up the same road, a man named Castano (near Molargio?) knows all about one of them. Left about 9:30, early lunch in Molargio, then south on Route 40. Man in Molargio says summer temps up to 30, winter down to -10C, but snow only about once a winter, and rain only a half-dozen times a year. Lots of alamo plantation which are said to motive to cutting size (for lumber) in 5 yrs. Camped 3 p.m. in a zedo canyon about 1 mile west of the Rio Grande about 10 km by road south of Cordas Blancas and 60 km S Molargio. Root-ridden habitat of eshedra, thorn bushel, occasional bunch grass, lots of stoney-gravelly soil visible (maybe 30% plant cover). A narrow quebrado next to camp, dark cliffs across the Rio Grande and on this side also about 1 mi. south of camp. Set about 35 museum species in a rocky cliffy outcrop and among eshedra + thornbush, also a lot not across our side gully (with stream) and across a big galvanized culvert under the road. Dinta also set traps Oct.25 Night clear, 34°. Nothing in nets or traps. Very few birds of any sort, no chimangos (sterility index). Left about 9:30 and drove south on Route 40. Junch at Barruecas, through Clos Madal. All senin-ark, sagebrush, occasional striped Toxteles, usually with Poplar tree. Saw one troop of bees, nocturnous, fides or quiver
Page 507
Pigs. Some rat sized hystricomorph seems to live in the middle of big thorn clumps. Camped at 7 p.m. along the Rio Viejo Neuquen. Sandy hummocks with sage growth along the river, then rising to sage brush stony desert. Lots of rat-sized droppings in the middle of the sandy hummocks built around thorn bushes. All day was somewhat overcast. Oct 26 Night cleared up, minimum 33°. My traps ± 30 MS in scrubby sage caught 1 Eligmodontia; Acuto's in sandy hummocks caught 1 Oryzomyx and 5 Eligmus (including 1 tail only). She had 44 traps out including 10 Sherman. This location is the eastern crossing of the Rio Viejo Neuquen, 45 km 53E Churamal, south side of the river. I saw a colony of large rabbit-size hole and rabbit droppings, no tracks and no eyesight while jacklighting. Just before leaving we started to search over the hummocks with rat-dropping among the thorn-stems. A very large male thylactis ran out to a neighboring hummock; caught him by hand. Anywhere else? Left about 9:30 after shining. Saura rabbit newly dead on road about 20 miles farther south, a few miles north of Churriaca. Along the Rio Zoledo about 5 miles N of the R. Agrio we stopped and looked in a large mine west of the rd and a small mine east of the road. The latter had shows rat dropping on floors wall; a girl near the large mine said no rats, but yes in cliffs at the R. Agrio. The big mine was cool and would have been a good campsite some time (but too cool for nursery colony). Lots of rabbit signs along the R. Zoledo. Had lunch at the Rio Agrio and looked in "pitholes" and crevices in the cliffs for bats; saw only 2 places with a few
Page 509
droppings, no bats. Forgot to mention that the station master at San Perlementer said that there were bats in the roof of his house winter and summer, but more in summer. Then drove south through Zapala to the Arroyo (Rio) Picun Leufu and camped along the river at a puesto that had been flooded out a few months ago by a rise of at least 12 feet in the river. Willows/poplars laying around, partially cleared up by chainsaw and wood sawyer. Put into a lot net at a break in the willow trees near the river. Antar set 3 or 4 traps near some mouse tracks in the sand. The terrain and vegetation begins to look like Patagonia at Zapala: more grass and bunchgrass, bushes more compact less scruffy, low mesas, goats giving way to sheep, horses, and cattle. Oct. 27 night clear & calm. Ants saw late times. Temp. 23 deg F minimum. Sometime during the night a horse traversed over the lot/pole. Nothing in net. No mice, saw robit, Left early and drove to Barilochi via Jemin de San Ande and San Martin de los Andes. Lots of European rabbits squashed on road and a few seen alive. Much wandering on back roads because of misleading road signs or no signs. Put up at Hotel Acopga Turife, cherry tree, Scotch broom in bloom in Barilochi. One of the Meltofouque just coming into leaf. Oct. 28 night clear but somewhat overcast during day. Effect the morning with Dr. Eduardo Rafasfort and Gilberto Sallopin at the Fundacion Barilochi and with Sr. Gregorio, Director of the Museum of Patagonia. They developed a few leash for bats. Put two nets in the
Page 511
archology evening at the chalet 4 km west of town (owned by an Deftification officer). Lots of droppings at what appears to be a night roost, and a hole in a beam where the caretaker says bats emerge. Oct.29 night clear + cold. In the morning I looked at the net at the night - roosting corner of the house, but none in the net covering the north porch where bats were said to emerge from a beam. Shopping, drove to Elao-Elao and cut for some Chusquea canes for bat poles. Returned to the Archology house in the evening, tidied the nets, and waited for bats to ermerge. Some were flying but saw none emerge. Overnight, temp. about 56° F. The caretaker of the house says bats are present winter & summer, but more abundant in summer. Oct.30 morning clear, temp. °C, two myxies in the night - roof net. Caretaker says they were caught after midnight. Coffee with Wm. and Hilda Rumboff, 3 1/2 km W Bariloche. She has seen Sasmurus here, feeds hummingbirds (2 species), and says the hummers are present winter & summer. People take torpid hummers to a taxidermist friend of hers. Lunch with Rafaporto, then out to Hotel Gog Moreno, near Elao-Elao, turnoff at 20 km. The garage at the hotel had a good bat atlie, one torpid & myxotis at 4 p.m. (air maybe 6°), and lots of droppings. Informant that says bats are present winter and summer, has seen a group of them torpid, feed down, when he pulled boards off the side of a house (the Elao-Elao Hotel, I think). Snow here settles as much as 200/30 cm. There is a sharpcline of rainfall from 500mm at the Bariloche airport to 1000 mm at the town to >1500 mm in the mountains to the east,
Page 513
at 7 p.m. (cloudy + cold) we string 3 nets across the front of the garage. Stood watch until 9:30. Saw insects flying and numerous bats flying. One & caught in net before we left at 9:30. Temp. in Bariloko at 10 p.m. was 9 1/2 °C. Oct-31 morning partly cloudy. Temp. at 8:30 AM was 10 1/2 °C. Fourteen & mystics in the nets. The local caretakers (Paulo + Antonio and spouses) say that there were more bats in the net at 11:00 p.m. that they were escaping, and so they killed the remainder. None visibly pregnant; none fat; all with full stomachs. Three full stomachs together weighed 2.2 g. Left about 2 p.m., drove through Bariloko then turned Pilearijen. The RR station at Mirihuan is near a deep narrow canyon with an arched wooden bridge. Too many Sunday picnickers and a soccer game to stretch nets. (Station master not there either). Drove to the next station, through bunchgrass and "pinion- juniper," and stopped there. Station surrounded by willows + poplars, good cliffs nearby, a shallow lake of several acres with ducks, lorburinas, [illegible] reedwips, etc. Nobody around. I put out about 20 traps in bunchgrass-rock-bushes and a few among railroad ties. A few small, all-yellow calceolarias blooming on the knoll where my traps are. Found one with nibbled lips, partly healed. Evening windy. One net across end of lake. Night was clear without wind, but overcast at dawn. Nothing in nets. Traps held 2 Phyllosotis and 2 red-bushed long-nosed shadon, Temp at 7 a.m. was 6°C. Willows and greybirds just leafing out; a robin (Turdus feldkandi) feeding fledgling. This station on the RR is Lento Mexico, 25 km ENE Bariloko, no mice in the calceolaria traps.

Dravo to his Pichi Senfu, skinned, asked about bats at the Estancia (more, 4 Indians said more), Dravo to Vileanigen, asked about bats at the bakery, the store, and the RR station. Everybody except the baker said more, he said they live in cliffs and fly around town at night. Dravo to Estancia Vileanigen, which is a couple of km SE of town. An English-speaking employer (not the administrator Mr Williams) said he had seen some 2 yrs ago in a rocky cliff a couple of km east of the Estancia headquarters. We drove to the site. Good fractured columns, lots of crevices, holes, and caves, but search revealed no bats. Vazcochas and saddles of accumulated vazeochs droppings. Vegetation is bunchgrass and low rounded thornbush. A 1/3rd gramin here is freezing under a thornbush about 5 yards from our tent. Tucoes twang in the grassy flat, sandy, along the stream. They give 3 or 4 very rapid rocky grunts, a 1-second pause, then repeat, not as clear a sound as the Mendezo tucoes make. They sang in the middle of the afternoon, warm & sunny breezy, contagious. Four at same time. Put out about 25 museum species in bunchgrass- thorn-barberia in rocky-cliffy place. Strung a bat net at 8 pm, first star at 9 pm, temp: 8°C, lots of moths and other insects flying. Burned lanterns near net to attract bugs and, hopefully, bats. Saw no bats at dusk. Nov 2 Temp at dawn 5°, cloudy. Tucoes singing at 4:30 AM and a daybreak, catching in net. My traps 5 red-veined alcedon and 1 big phyllothie. One two in trap. Auto's traps held 4 red-veined alcedon, 3 by phyllothies, plus one yellow-nosed alcedon. This one out in
Page 519
first valley bottom, the others in rocky-crudy or cliffs. A garcho on the estancia says there was a plague last summer of such smaller mice (lauchas) that ate ropes around the corral etc. He seemed surprised that we didn't catch any of them. Various people questioned along the way south of Pilcomayo said no bats. The RR doesn't seem to have station houses, or if so (Cont.)

It was an old wooden abandoned flour mill in a charming clearing of fruit trees, willows, etc. The caretaker lived across the road (the mill is on the east side. We set up camp among Conicent ardellions under an elderberry tree and queued fresh at the edge of an orchard (cherry, apple, pear) all in bloom. This vegetation must be saying something about the climates here. The caretaker's sons had caught bats in this mill a couple of years ago. We string two nets at the mill. Howl grows and mourning love singing, roliers about.

Evening was mostly clear + calm, temp at 9 p.m. 8°C. Saw a few lote flying about 9:30, caught one Hestiotus at about 11:00 p.m. nov. 3 Night was mostly clear, but sprinkles before dawn, and overcast + sprinkle at 7 a.m., no more lote. Temp. 8°C at dawn. Insects were flying last night at dusk. almost everyone we talked to is familiar with a Gasurra of some sort. Drove south asking for lote, but most people said none. Willows are in leaf and fruit trees blooming. Place blooming in Espuel, and tulips. Day of buncheguar - red-buck - thorn bush, poplars + willows around Estancia and Patitor. Camped in windy pamfa next to shallow pond with flamingos. Temp at 9 p.m. 6°C windy. Lost about 25 trips at ante about 40. nov. 4 Wind stopped early in night*, but morning drizzly and calm, 6°C. more pamfa as we drove south all morning. Tried the road from La Sequera to Lago Fortuna but too awful, so continued south. Last night's catch was 5 Elquinontia. Location was 38 km S Gobernador Costa. 3 Elginodonta discarded: adult o??: lots 6,7,7 Saw a few gnomosa maybe 10 mi N Rio Mayo along route 40, but more (maybe 30) after turning west toward Lago Blanco. They were in the most miserable parts of the pamfa (sparsest + lowest vegetation), sometimes mixed with sheep. Libea and fruit trees blooming in various towns, and a big spiral sorbery in the desert. Everyone agrees no lote. Vegetation becomes greener + grainer as you drive toward the mountains. West of Lago Blanco it became almost pure buncheguar with the green grass in between, crossed

yaveta or low thorn hummocks and a few 5' thorn bushes or thicket. Stopped at Estancia Valle Hermosa, no dates. Then drove west hoping for trees for the night, but all pure Pampa to a big military base at the border. Beautiful snow mtns beyond. Turned back and camped 4 km w Soga Blanca, almost pure bunchgrass in rolling hills. I put about 25 traps in bunchgrass and in a sparse copse of thornbush. Ante set 20 traps in pure bunchgrass (sandy soil). Day cloudy. Afternoon windy, temp 6 C at 9 pm, still windy, scattered clouds. Nov. 5 Wind all night + still windy in morning. Smallest trap 3 C. My traps had 2 Elymmodontia (bunchgrass), 1 Abodon xantho (thorn), 1 horse muss (thorn), 1 Phyllotus (thorn, stones but no rocks). Ante caught 1 abodon xantho and 1 Reithrodon. The chest-high thorn copse is surprisingly good wind shelter. Surely the mice spent most of its life in this isolated copse. Discarded: 1 baby Elymmodontia (7gr.) 1 F Abodon xantho with scars + CL. Not bad. Left 10 am, saw 1 rhea and the guanacos again on the way back to Ruta 40, then south to Perto Moreno 2 pm. Saw 2 more rheas and a few more guanacos, one half-grown. Fields of dandelions in bloom, and reed at Perto Moreno, also lilacs. Between Perto Moreno and Bajo Carrizales we drove about 5 km off the road toward the Cuevas de San Mates but when we stopped at a puesto for road directions the mud and the road was impassable. The grader was working on it, however. The cave seems to be on the Rio Pinturas. Stopped for the night where the road crosses the Rio Ecker, 65 km S

Perto Moreno. The administrator? 1 Estevan Casa de Piedra said no loto, 2 guys stringing fence said sure, they find loto in rock crevices in the volcanic rim-rock. Numerous hollow eyes visible. We landed on a landing strip in sandy bunchgrass-low shrub. The little yellow Calea calva is beginning to bloom just as I Ptolon Perto Moreno east of Bariloche on Nov 1. Put out about 25 traps along rim rock and in thorn bush on pampa; caught put out 34. Strong hot net just below the rim rock. No wind, sky 3/4 cloudy, full moon. Temp at 9 p.m. 8°C. Felt almost eerie without wind. Nov 6 morning clear, no wind, temp 1°C. Saw no loto last night, and net untouched. Saw 2 truos of Tiraavola yesterday and one single. They were calling last night and this morning: a dust or two, less screamy, more musiced than T. pentlandi. my traps had 1 baby (abdomen) Antis' box 2— abdon (red-backed): (1 adult breeding ♂, 1 jnr with smollets) and 1 large ♂ Phyllotidocorami (large testis + accessories) Probably parabo Drove south to the Rio Belgrano - Río Chico for lunch. Saw a rhea with >9 small striped chicks. Vegetation all very low with bunchgrasses, larba, cushions. No attempt at cultivation except in towns. The sheep seem to be completely exterminated, in groups up to a couple dozen, surely 10 miles or more from nearest human. Yesterday we drove 8 hrs, all except the first 1½ hrs, on the main N-S route 40, and we passed 2 vehicles, not counting a truck stuck in the mud and another by twice trying to start it. Three hours of driving this morning we passed 1 vehicle. This person and one other in the "town" of Bajo Carretera were the only people seen all morning: no gauchos,
Page 527
no nothing. Things have hardly changed since Hatcher's time. Almost everyone we talk both to mention capturing them with a "white trap", perhaps hanging white sheets? After lunch drove to Salvador Gregorio, then Estonia En Julia, some of it through and stretches into roadside, but mostly through with a few quercus + ribes (plus ubiquitous sheets and now lambs). Then west on Pte 288 to Saguna Grande, a cluster of white houses by the road. Turned north on a side track about 2 km west of the fork at Saguna Grande (or Hotel La Torre) and stumbled into a long-abandoned brick house with a Histrio hanging in the shattered entryway at the front door and another in the attic hanging on a rafter. Temp. 17° both places, both torpid, both QQ. The house is surrounded of two tennis-court- sized grassy fields rimmed with sickly willows, poplars, tamarisk-like, and alamos. The house used to be at the edge of its lake, but the water is now 75 yds. away. Flemings. Everything scattered with innumerable quantities of rusty tin sheets, broken bottles, boxes, old auto tires (such as size 600x20), wagon wheels, etc. Windy. Considerable droppings on front porch and in attic. Strung 2 bat nets at 9 p.m., windy. Temp at 9:30 (dusk) 11°C. Watched nets until 11:45. One bat approached nets many times but seemed to detect them (they were billowing wildly in the wind). Wind gusts came from 10 to at least 12, and strong at least until 1:30 a.m. Temp. at 1 a.m. 7°, at 3:00 a.m. 4°, at dawn 3°. At 1 p.m. nets held 3♀ Histrio, at 1:30 another one♂, at 3:00 another ♀ plus one that was just hanging from the net by its hind feet. Nov. 7, morning clear, but wind built up before 7:30 and then more galecast. Three caught between 1:30 and 3:00 was filled immediately and had stomach ½ full.

Bats emerged from the high eaves of the south side of the gendarmerie house at dusk (± 9:45) and 3 or 4 promptly got caught in the net there. A few more before midnight, and two along about 5:15. Only one saw the hotel, and it early in evening. Total catch 388 and 794. The gendarme house with the complex roof seems to be a nursery colony; the lab side house 2 1/2 km west is a single roost or possibly the attic an alternative nursery roost. When released into the attic, 3 disappeared back into the dark, but two scrambled along rafters + beams quite actively, looking like vampires; certainly more mobile than Plecostes. The galvanized roof was warm to the touch, everything else cold, sky overcast. This was 10:30 a.m. Drove to El Calafate. Saw skas + guosecas. First 7 hours saw 2 vehicles, one of which passed in our direction while we were stopped looking for a gas deal. One more in last hour before El Calafate. No trees. Not windy x Evening in El Calafate cool, no wind, several Day 2 drive included 2 ferry boat rides in old USTs (power) inferiour to say no lote - by cable, current, and tractors on both sides of river. In El Calafato place, p apples are blooming, dandelions, tulips, cherry mostly finished flowering. People are planting vegetable gardens. Out now

Nov. 9 Stayed overnight in motel in El Colafato, morning overcast to no wind, at 10 a.m. drove out to the morano glacier (Ventisquero) (= colafate) averast but no wind. Yellow herberiz[illegible] in full bloom, plus a shrub-tree with bright red tubular flowers (=cinalillo), Zonotrichia singing. Camped 3 pm in a campground 52 km WSW El Colafato on the (N. latu[illegible]) edge of Brazo Rico, a mixture of beach trees, barbera scrub, and the red-flowered brush. I set about 40 traps, mostly in shrubby places with lots of duff, small nettle-sword fern, mosey stream. Also set 36 traps along lake and in scrubby spots around camp. A few sparrows. Many of the beach trees have lots of golf-ball-fungus, the ground often littered with fresh or dried ones. Visited the glacier at Ventisquero. Lots of action with numerous icebergs breaking off. The glacier has overlaid an area of the lake (Brazo Rico), and its level is presumably rising and will eventually break through the ice barrier some day. It has risen 10 ft. or more in the past because large dead trees are standing in the water and somewhat above its present level. Evening overcast, no wind, but set 1 hot net in our camp clearing (beeches and colafato bushes). 9:40 p.m., 9°; 10:15 still light enough to read notes, 11°C. Mar. 10 6°C at 4:45 a.m.; 2/3 clear, no wind. At 6:20 clear, no wind, 6°C. Cloudy by 7:00, clear by 10:30 but clear windy, nothing in hot net. My traps had 1 short-tailed long-clawed notomys at edge of little stream, 2 large Gryzor[illegible] in thick wet vegetation, and 2 red- baked skadon (longipilis?) in thick wet vegetation. None of many traps along rotting logs in deep duff under beach trees was touched, Anita caught 2 red-backed skadon under ledge near dog joints at edge of lake, and an skadon fourth? under scrubby at edge of camp?
Page 539
Lots of Zonotrichia singing. Have very abundant, about (line here) per hour between the park gate and Vientiquero. Drove to the Estancia Chico, no bats they say, then to Estancia Alto Vista, no bats, they say, but by then too late to look elsewhere. Put out about 60 traps total through lush green grass, sheep-grazed sagebrush, and along a huge woodpile. Also one bat set. Then dinner with the Estancieros ad mifio (Sr. Alejandro Sifilicie). Evening clear, breeze, Temp 6o at 11p.m. nov. 11 Morning calm, drizzle, 6°, no bats. One Abderot tanus and 1 immature Rithrodon (in lush green grass 1/2 ft. tall). Then rain. Stuck in middle of road between Estancia Chico y Colofeto. after about 2 1/2 hrs the light rain had worked enough mud out of the rut so that stones + gravel were uncovered, which allowed me to escape. Checked into hotel in Colofeto, then went to see the local chef's collection of Indian artifacts, guns, matches, + coins. Then to the Park Heights where we were put in touch with a park ranger with 20 yrs experience. He seemed thoughtful, careful, precise with data - a good informant. Says there are bats in the forest under the bark of trees and in hollow trees, winter and summer. Doesn't know of them in houses. They are torpid when caught. No other bat beds in town, saw no bats at dusk at 10p.m., Temp. not cold. nov. 12 Drove out to the park entrance in the morning and hunted for bats for about 2 hrs in good Votofogus forest above the road. Lots of over-mature trees with hollows, loose bark, etc. no bats.
Page 541
Afterwards, talked with a modeste man who lives just east of the park gate. He knew lots, showed me on his walk into the kind of place they stay, said they were good winter and summer, it but sometimes they were only partly alive, "like a tortuga". Talked with the owner and the foreman of Pedro Buenos Aires. They both said no lots of Eo Estieras. The foreman said he had cut road there for 4 yrs and never found a lot. Drove to Pedro Buenos east of Calafate. Lots of good creatures, holes etc. Found barn or great-barn owl pellets. Then drove till dusk on the road toward Santa Cruz. Crossed in quite open short-grass with only a few small shrub thickets. Saw total of about 30 trofos. Night calm, overcast. Battery gate. Nov. 13 Morning overcast, 14°. Night was clear, but dark flow down about 6 a.m. Drove all day to Santa Cruz then with our Route 3 to beyond Fitzroy. Saw a few rheas and guanacos, twins < 1 week old. Country very open, mostly flat, no trees. Lots of sheep. Mostly clear. At 9:50 clear, still windy, 16° More comments on the emptiness of Patagonia: From Calafate to Pedro Buenos to Fitzroy, about 15 hrs of driving on good road (total 673 km) we saw one guanaco driving a troop of forese (9:30 a.m.) and one group of 5 doing something with a grove of a hundred or so sheep (4:30 p.m.). In Pedro Buenos, of course, where we had a tire repaired, we saw people, and there were a convoy of 20+ oil exploration trucks on the Calafate-Pedro Buenos road and other trucks on route 3, but after that those monitored nobody was outside
Page 543
outdoors doing anything, It was a Saturday, mostly sunny, and windy. The station master at Fitzroy said no lots in Fitzroy but yes in the station at Berito Moreno. Nov. 14 About 40 trofe in thornbush-grass-yards it caught nothing. Evening was breezy but night calm; Temp at 6 a.m. was 7° . A tanager nest with about 15 apple-green large eggs, the bird seems to make a gentle early-morning call note "bow-wow?". Day mostly sunny and only moderate wind, Drove north on route 3 almost to Condors-hum-duns, then west to Sarp Musters and camped at Nueva Subecka. Various stops revealed no lots and no knowledge of them, at Estancia Santa Rita they said no lots there but lots in the bell tower of a church in Navarro, They don't like having European horses. Saw clutch of goslings of the common Chlorofoega; then with half-grown young. The RR between Comodoro & Sarmiento seems to be abandoned. Set about 25 trofe in thorn-bunch-grass-thorn mat scrubby desert, and 2 lot nets: 1 at the Post office and the other at an abandoned house 100m away. Nueva Subecka consists of a substantial stone post office, 1 abandoned house, a shed containing modestly shelveslairs and 2 live chickens, litter, no people, pepper trees, and a few alamos, aphid-infested. Saw no lots flying, no signs. Evening clear & calm. 10° at 10 p.m., Nueva Subecka is 60km S of post de San Martin (which is near a previous collecting locality Gobernador Costa). Nov. 15 Morning calm, averaged 4° at sunrise. No lots. Trofe held 4 Eligmolortus and 1 abedon fauntha. Caught in amid sage brush bush.

grass. No bats. Pulled up shrike from 3 skinned fer carriers, Discarded 2 & Elymodontata : tests 6, SVR; tests 7 SV 7. 4 km N of town Drove to Muster and visited at Estonia Muster (Sr. Horitz). The family old rural house had predation etc but they had no evidence of bats in it. They had occasionally found bats in a hawthorn tree closing the house, and at least one had found dead bats under the tree after a freeze (at least 2 or 3 bats). Mrs Horitz used to live at Estonia Jalque, said there were bats in the attic there, and that she used to see bats hanging in the current lumber than when she was picking currants in summer. We set all traps (+ 70) in three habitats: wet green-grass + juniper + dandelion along the road to town; drier grass, brush-grass weeds along the railroad tracks across the road from the ranch; and bushy-pars - sagebrush a few hundred meters east of the RR. The sagebrush one waist-high or more, dense, with pole tallular blossoms. Then drove back to the old mill 2 km N of town and camped there and put up 2 bat nets. Ante also put out a few traps in their grass - dandelion - orchard. Evening calm, 3/7 overcast, 9°C at 9:20. Saw 1 bat flying near our nets at about 10 p.m. Nov. 16 Morning calm, 1/2 overcast, 6°C at 6 a.m. No bats in net. Traps in lush grass along road caught only red-looked Abodon (plus one small Elymodontata in a dry culvert under the road). The dry field caught 1 Reuthodon + more red-looked Abodon, the sagebrush area produced 2 Abodon femina, and the lush orchard caught red- looked Abodon. In addition to those prepared, discarded 6 red - lookd Abodon, one obtain a jaw. Met Sr. Brasse, owner of the old mill, and his administrator and the latter's wife. The administrator used to live at Estonia

For Cabral (east of Delaque) and saw the old Estancia headquarters there is being preserved as of historic interest and is fully intact. After lunch drove to Estancia Pologno and met Charlie and Nora Mackinnon. He is the man in charge of all the Estancias of a former discussed English company, now Argentine. The Estancias include Alta Cura, Piloquinjen, Matien, and Delaque. In addition to numerous out- buildings, Pologno has a brick main house with galvanized red roof over shingles, an attic, and [illegible] in the attic. The house is surrounded by rows and rows of peppers, vegetable & flower gardens, Hawthorne trees, Cypress tree, and green lawns. A trap door near the kitchen lets into the attic which is literally sprinkled with bat droppings, and was quite warm. One mother + young were hanging in the open, others in cracks, especially between the double ridge pole and tin roof. The bats were active and scurried like mice along the ridge pole etc. We [illegible] caught some with long forceps, then stretched two nets outside the latter along a veranda where the residents reported seeing them fly frequently. They report that bats are in the attic winter and summer, that in winter they hang near the under the kitchen stove/pipes goes through the attic. They say winter temperatures go down to -16°C, snow up to a foot deep. Spring and even summer frosts are common. Apple bear only about once ever 7 years because of untimely frosts. Sidews rarely bloom for some reason. In the vegetable garden were strawberries (blooming), lettuce, Swiss chard, cabbage, carrot, peas, rhubarb, endive, currants, gooseberries, onions. [illegible] blooming, [illegible] - [illegible] finished. Evening calm & clear. Temp: 10 p.m. 9°C. Caught several bats about 10 p.m. including 1 mole [illegible] more in middle of night

including two wild temp. mor 3° colm den. Nov, 17 Dawn colm clear, temp 0°c, Estoria minunthermom -2°. no more bats in net after middle of night [watch hod stopped]. All 8 adult bats from attic were females, from non-preg through almost-volant young. Three males called out side, Tagged 6 females and released them. Two landed in tree, the other dropped/promptly under eaves on both sides of the gable at end end of house. One scurried into the bird well to get in. Processed 15 others including a discarded juvenile Histotus, 70x25x9x16 forwom 29 6.3g. naked. I think we handled at least half of the entire colony. All except one survived something holding overnight in the bat net down to 0°c and were warm enough to fly early in the morning. Drove to El Bolsón and stopped at Sr. Kovac's house. He and his topidermist son were in Buenos Aires, but another son drove me to the farm of another son, a farmer, at Hoyo de [illegible] Efkuyen 12 km south of El Bolsón. He took me to two possible bat farms, but we ended up at a third in Hoyo, an old barn with almsut droppings and good reports from the owner. Droppings fairly large, didn't smell like Tadaris. Temp at dusk (9:20) 12°c, clear, mosquitoes for a short time. Nov. 18 Dawn partly overcast, calm, 7°c. No bats seen during careful watch, and none caught in net. At one of the barns visited yesterday, Kovac had removed a big cluster of bats [like a swarm of bees] a year or more ago. This was 4 km S of the Hoyo's Kovac's quinta. Leonista lorkshur in bloom, apple trees with marble-sized apples. Frosts seem to be a problem, but not as severe as at Folegus. Note that the altitude here is only about 400ft. Saw eucalyptus trees as tall and straight as at [illegible]. Yesterday there was only a few wild roses in bloom, but today lots of them. After breakfast chaked out the "old mill" on the Bracada

Property. It is only a few hundred yards from our site of last night. We were told by the owner (? or son?) that it had no bats and was dangerous to enter because it was falling down. Went back to the farm where Kovacs took us yesterday and where we did not see or heard bats but were told Kovacs collected a "swarm" of them last year. Today at 10 am, we could hear them squawling and could see a few scurrying between the wooden roof and the corrugated iron. Collected one with long forceps - a pregnant ? mystic?, very dark. The daughter reported that several were hanging on & came out in to the open at 7 pm, last night shortly after we had breakfast. This farm is about 4 km S of the Hoyo de Espuyen and has the huge tall fine grained eucalyptus at the gate, east side of road. Visited Jorge Pinedo in afternoon. Huge number of wild roses are needing this whole away; no dove seen, although people say they are present. Not squawled on roof as they are elsewhere. at 7 pm Returned to the Eucalyptus barn (granero of Antonio ? and Flora Albion de Mayorga), which is about 4 km S of the Comisera of El Hoyo (no longer being called Hoyo de Espuyen) or 1/2 km N of the El Hoyo school. They have a 6-foot diameter sequoia gigante planted about 1917 and a quingho. Mystics were awake and in a cluster on a beam near the ridge. Collected about 20 of them, maybe half, all females. Strung 2 nets outside the barn hoping for males. Evening cloudy, some wind in trees but not at ground level, temp at 9:20 14°. Bats emerged from west end of barn and flew higher than nets. Auto set traps in barn. Daughter beating a spot informed says bats are present winter & summer. The fact that they use the granero for storing apples indicates that the temp does not drop very low. granero = barn.

Yesterday forgot to mention that I gave a red-skinned and leaf-anatomy demonstration to about 20 teen-age members of a secondary class of Mrs. Mayorga at the Guillermo Hudson Commercial School in El Bolson. One boy in the class said he had found a red bat in a cherry tree and that it was carrying two youngs. Kovacek told him that the 2 young were always dead & q. # Cherries are ripe at the end of November, and this one was seen while picking cherries. Most people are familiar with red bats and when shown our specimens say that we have missed a bigger one that is "maroon" or "cinnamon" in color. Drove about 10km toward Epuyen looking for hot houses, then back to El Bolson and about half way to Bariloche. Stopped for the night at Lago Guillermo. 2400ft. Day: sunny, warm. Coolia is in a scrubby mixture of Notofagus, cedar, retamo (not the yellow-leaved shroom), wild strawberry, grass. A few partial clearings have two diggings; rocky gentle wooded, and incredibly light fluffy soil, set 35 traps, mostly around two feeding holes that looked old, and two tree traps. Heard one tree-call at dusk. Evening calm, temp. at 9:30 7°. One or more bats flying late dusk, maybe gracilin. Nov. 21 Nothing in traps. Morning calm clear, temps. at 6:30 0°, light frost and skin ofics on bucket. Drove to Bariloche, then to Estancia Fortini Chacabuco. Elderly German couple + Zimmerwalter, disillusioned with Argentina, no bats. Then to Estancia Alicura, run by Saurin Morelli, ALICURA They are in the midst of shearing, so the bats in the shearing shed are un- available, but he took us to an abandoned house about 2 km from his quarters where they were dropping, a good attic. This is in a grove of poplars, willows, locusts a few hundred meters from the bridge across Rio Caleufu and the Perito Moreno obelisk. Called at 60km SW San Martin de los Andes.

1700 ft., Verquén. Day sunny and warm. Evening warm and calm and clear. String 2 hot rats sent to house. Morelli says he has seen as many as 3 Rhea incubating over nest of eggs simultaneously; recently saw an adult rhea with 40? young. Sayp lots are here all year. Also has lots in a small house across the Cholon Curá bridge, at Corral de Piedra and in the Escuelita at Paso de Flores. Sayp social system of guanacos is same as that described by Kopid for vicuñas; bands of 6 cockers under numbering hundreds. He also says spider as big as dinner plate in Verquén. Many lots (looks like myoptes) flying at dusk: above, below, and around one of the rats. At 10:15 one lot flying inside the house, secured. At 11:15 6 lots flying inside the house, caught all of them (non- breeding 2 & 4 myoptes). At 3 a.m. nothing more, At 8 p.m. set about 30 traps in decent chest-high thornbrush, rabbit brush (a yellow composte) and scattered grass. Avites set about 40 in various habitats including moist area with pampea grass clumps. Nov. 22 Morning clear, calm, 5½° C. Nothing in nets. Very traps held Kuthredon, Elipudonta, and Abodon pantos. Avites caught Kuthredon, Abodon, and either a jay or Elipino or an Calomys. Also I got 2 turcos in 2 traps set last evening. Skinned all morning—sunny & warm. Discovered 2 Ruthredon, 3 Elipino, and 1 Abodon (ext.). Heard Calib. quail. Drove to Corral de Piedra, which is slightly downstream and up on the hills from the Río Cholon Curá. Turn right at the bridge, then right about a ½ km along the paved road into a dirt track, then a couple of km farther. It is a rather forlorn outpost with a ranchhouse, some workers quarters, a beautifully made big shearing barn, and two 40 ft.-diam water tanks.
Page 561
3'-ft. deep and full to the brim. Bats squealing at 8:30pm in the creek in the beds of the big slaying barn, dripping underneath. Poplars etc around the house, but little nother and sage brush of several species. Put a net inside the big barn and another over one of the water tanks. Saw Colf. guiland copetora tinamoor 20 yds. apart. Evening somewhat windy but warm. Lots of myotis drinking at the tank without the net. A few at the tank with net, but avoided it. at 10:30 there were 4 g myotis in the barn net, none flying there, morning calm, 1/2 overcast, warm. Bats returned to barn between no more 4 and 5:30 a.m., but none caught in net. Saw the water tanks not at 6:00 were 1 myotis g ad 1 Tadarida ?. Returned to river bridge to skin, then drove to La Rinconada and the James Wood eucalyptus farm W of La Rinconada. It is a lush oasis of flowers, trees of all sorts including eucalyptus, sequoia gigantea, cedar, ash, junipers, cypress, poplar, alamo, apples, cherry etc etc. Colf. / puffy. Artemium water. Hummingbirds in winter but not in summer, unless they are found in summer in jurisdio for aides. They consider Gasconne common in summer in the dense juniper trees and current bushes. Looked in various buildings for bats. Found one group in the ceiling of the tech room, but no way to get to them. Left about 4 and drove to Estancia chacalero where we met Peter Brewing family Symington, the administrator (French sportmen owners). He said lots of bats in the attic of his house. We promptly had a look and caught 7 in corners of beams - all male myotis and one f Tadarida. Attic was quite warm. Lots of droppings, plus a nasty accumulation with brick chimney where it passes through to attic. Could hear squeaking of other unreachables. They have made numerous attempts at eradication with spray cans of Dieldrin, burning

sulfur etc. At dusk a half-dozen were flying round-and-round in a sudden subsection of the attic, caught 3 of them with sweep-net, one a female. At about 10, a dozen or more were flying in same area, and I caught about 10 of them, including females, all mnytas, great range of coloration. Lot of no- ets. Night calm & clear, not cold. Nov. 24 morning calm, somewhat overcast, temp at 6:15 1/2 C. At 8 am all quiet inside, caught 1 more mnytes in a crack. This house will be flooded upon completion of the Alicia dam in maybe 5 years. Peter Dympson has only seen one Jasmines (in a rose-bush) in many years again here, in spite of lots of lilies, junipers, poplars, and other flowers + planting. He is an excellent bird taxidermist and a good observer. Harrows pigeon owls (and one was calling while we were there). One of the trend owners is a falconer and captures hawks of various sorts at the Estancia, as well as shooting coyotes in the bosque in the higher parts of the hacienda (109,000 hectares). Coyotes kill numerous lambs, and Dympson shoots them when they get into the stud lamb-pen. About 1 per week per winter. He had stuffed a barn owl holding a short-tailed mnytes (?) that had been captured "up high near the snow"; he and his wife both agree that the hawks are present in the winter, probably near the churning. Annual rainfall something like 500mm, but this year very dry, about 250mm. This place is on the Rio Limay between Confluencia and the bridge over the Rio Collon Cura. Mostly sage-brush habitat, hair-grass - rich bunchgrass and cliffs, and willows. Drove to Bariloche and checked into Selva Negra campground about 2km W of town. One bat (mnytes?) seen at dusk.

Pearson 1976 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.

nov.28 morning clear, clear, touch of frost; temp. 1/2 deg. at dawn. 2 more myotis in nets; one of them a ?. Two singing at dawn and sundup; a double call tuc-tuc rapidly, then a 1/2 second pause, repeat many times, then trailing off into a steady tuc - tuc - tuc - tuc. Three or more species of sage brush up to shoulder high, low green grass, and bare sandy gravel. Drove to Paso de Flores, a ferry-boat over the Rio Duiuy, and found bats under the corrugated roof of the school house. Two caught and one caught 3; one of which, a prog of older species. Put up the poles of the remaining two; it was only slightly piler. The Alcura, Corral de Piedra, and Paso de Flores localities are in different Provinces but only a few miles apart. Some good cliffs and caves near Paso de Flores. Spent night in the staving shed of Estancia Alicura, with two nets in the shed, staving ended earlier this week. Shed (= barn) smelled of disinfectant. Saw no bats or signs nov.29 Temp at dawn 1/2 deg. No bats in nets. Drove to Barlobo, checked with Mrs. Humbol, then off to Carro Tronador with Carlos and Adriana. Set a complete series of trap lines at 4 different elevations in 4 different habitats of their Watershed Effected into study area. 845m. 1) Mallin - This is the lowest of the four. Swampy grass, Mylophorum, Chusquea, and noto. antarctica dwarf. Ant set 20, L set 6 shrews, 8 museum specimens, and 1 rat. The slotted set maybe 20 +/- colored + large 1065m 2) Bosque Alto (N. donkey and N. pumilio). Huge trees with some Chusquea, lots of rolling hay. Ant set traps. 3) Larga, - 1,300m - large N. pumilio. The students set shrews small and large shrewers. Number unknown.
