During 3 nights here, trying to cover all suitable, we found only 3 species. In 386 trap nights total total was 62 also longi, 18 adisamyp, and 13 Oryzomyz. Saw no indications of tucos. Occasional hares and signs of stags. Late in morning drove out to the fish culture estancia. Lots of reeds beneath that much more sand than near mangano, maybe also faultho and Eligandonta?, but no tucos. Perhaps volcanic activity wiped out the tucos since capaz? Then drove back to Bariliche, looking for traces signs near confluencia and along the road south -- none. From mangano bridge to the canal 3 km by road, 1 km more to our farthest east traps, then 1 km more to Confluencia. Therefore, some of our specimens listed as "20 Km W Confluencia, 4 km W Confluencia," were as little as 1 km W Confluencia. Afternoon scattered clouds + sun, warmer, no wind. Nov. 26 Worked on owl pellets and cave boxes, about 5 pm put out 25 verson shrew & 25 large Sherman in sueno/espina negra/barberie desert east of town. Also 4 gobber traps. Auto put 56 traps in similar habitat. This location is only a few hundred meters short of the tongaretti home "La Paloma Blanca". This seems to be about 4 SE 3 km ESE Bariliche. Heard no tucos, no fresh digging. Warm and sunny all day. Nov. 27 morning mostly clear, warm. My traps had 1 also longi, 1 also faultho, 1 adisamyp, and 1 Eligandonta. The latter two all around the only big boulder on the whole drive. Photo
