pottery in another case nearby (but no rodent bone in the second case). I think I convinced them that the rodent bones were from owl pellets and were not rodents living in the caves (tecoz!) or rodents being eaten by diures (ahdon + elegina?!). They gave us a sack of bones from station 8 (which also contains human artifacts). They showed us their sifting technique and it is obvious that they are losing some or most of the smaller mice. They had 2 zigzaga mandibles of different sizes. Then we drove on to the Rio Cujin Mangano and camped in our old site along the river above the bridge. I put out traps about a mile down the road towards confluencia, a mixture of mouse species, big Sherman, and small Sherman, plus the 50-ft drift fence. Halvib semi-arid and moth grass, bucky-grass, moco, colelia sprosogana rostraquarica (E?braca?) hoolberry, a couple of cyprus, anup, a couple of other trees + bushes. Saw mara? ? droppings, no two signs or Pantherodon holes. Weather here sunny. One large bat at dusk. Three or more caribou roosted in the cliff down camp. nov. 23 Rio Cujin Mangano. Night clear, a touch of front. All day clear. Anta's traps had 11 cho longi, 3 achiscompi, and 7 arygompi. my live had 7 cho longi, 3 achisompi, and 1 arygompi. Total 32 mice of 3 species. Anta did a rough sorting of bones from the anthropologists at Trofol Cave No. 1, Cafa 8 (Cafa 1 is shallow, 8 is deep, but even 8 has human artifacts). There were 4 upper toothrows and 3+ right
