Nov. 19 Best and 4 small ones in the first two shelves, then no more in the next two shelves. Arturo Tarah, Marino Rumball, and Varguer dropped into see the Dromiciops. Arturo says there is a big damo associated with a bigger bamboo in northern Argentina. At 4:30 released the Dromiciops on the grid where we had caught him. I looked him 1 meter up in a bush, he climbed around for maybe 30 seconds, then down to the ground and down a hole under a leg. Then re-baited the entire grid. Found dead clumps of bamboo with old seed heads at the river end of rows 3, 5, 7, and 9. Also two other dead clumps, quite long dead, on which I could find no seed heads. The grid held: PM 1A also longi 308 F 4G Presump 317 D 8F also longi 592 I picked up my traps, and Arturo put out a new line in bamboo above and to the left of the cabin (Post Office). numerous small slugs in the grid showed when I cleared them out and replaced bait. I measured a bamboo on the grid = 18 ft. tall. I am sure it is not the tallest. Must be many up to 20 ft. Nov. 20 Cold drizzle in morning, new snow on slopes. Arturo's trap lines had numerous also longi and 2 Solanum coldviance. Miquel had some also longi and 1 Oryza and 1 Quass and 1 Rattus fur.
