had one more little Notio, a dark skodon, 2 Phyllostus, and numerous other longi's. The little Notio came from Anita's new line near the grid, also a chacao; the others from near the cabin. Drove to Barluche and Rembolle's in afternoon where we encountered Maurice Remboll, Susana Martin who is about to teach biology to the guarda espacio on Isla Victoria, Adrian and her husband Carlos Cabral who is a forest agronomo. Location of the La Veraneda grid: 8 km by road south of the Guardacalaboi's cabin, about 1 km north of the summit before the road drops down toward Villages. The grid is on the west side of the road south of a shallow lake/pond on the east side, about 150 yds south of a jeep-trail gone off to the east. No houses for several km, as far as we know, although we heard clopping + hammering sounds back the jeep road. The grid begins about 10 m into the tree woods from the right-of-way, which is grass-bamboo-ferberia plus tree stumps. The grid itself is almost pure wire (up to 20 ft.) and bamboo (up to 10 ft); the other vegetation is trivial except for grass in some of the "glades". No standing water, no bare soil, lots of humus. Have the impression based on the number of small burrows with fresh earth that we were not catching an appropriate number of little sp. Notomyz [ = valdivianus]
