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]
