wheat. They also see lots occasionally. Here sent a boy up into the attic to look for some. The attic was good with at least one [illegible] of bed dropping, but no lots. In the afternoon drove up Cerro Otto and had tea with old man Otto Meiling. He has been there 50 yrs, but his natural history is not too reliable. A drizzly cloud was hanging on the mountain at the level where the larch begins. Cloudy all day in Bariloche. April 25 Past several days spent at the IX Reunion [illegible] Argentina de Ecologia. Today drove to Rio Sartorio Cobre and Cerro Tercero with Maribel Christe and Peter Meserve. Autumn leaves not quite at their peak, but a bit of Palo mertia in bloom, a few orange Mertzia, no Ilexo-Ileo; saw no Rhothogon seeds. The grid looked just the same. No Barberis fruits, a few dry florums of B. Darwinii and B. perici. An adult ad a young brownish cordor sitting on a ledge below and considerably to the left of the [illegible] "nest". Saw several small herders Zolacume on the [illegible] west face of the territorial moraine at the Ventisqueros Negro. On April 22 visited our So Veranda yard with Robert Marva and Juy Gonzalez. Everything the same, no water in the stream. New digging by dogs at the campsite. April 27 Soft at 2 PM for the east, cloudy, a few drizzler. To Pileingen, Pileingen Viejo, then east on Route 23. Saw 1 guanaco and 2 rheas between close two points, camped just before dark in a gravel pit 15 km W of [illegible].
