thinks. Arrived Bariloche 2 pm.
Christie caught the gecko Homonota in the pantry quarter.
April 28 Bariloche. Visited Hilda Pennfold + lots of humplucks at her
feeder. They empty it over a day, same volume as mine at
home = ? 250 cal?
April 29. Spent the day at INTA dissecting mice caught by Pedro deoffe
and Campo Aceto Velarigen by Susan Martin and Javier
Vellati between March 25 and April 7 +. 29 Ebyodontia, 8
celandon pauthorhinus, and 2 genus reekrown. They had set
a large number of small mouse traps grid-fashion in the
2 canavas on the hill behind Don Josi's house and left
them set for a long period, a couple of thousand trap nights.
The unknown genus has the coloration of Ebyodontia, the
size and proportions of pauthorhinus but shorter tail,
and more even more striking than pauthorhinus, front
claws enormously long like Vistomyx but not so stout,
lateral margins of hind feet with well-developed fringe
of brown hairs like Stasomys, ear very short and thin with
a retted terminal fringe of long white silky hairs, nose
coiffed with a feathery button like a shrew. Rostrum of
skull very short. I am surmising that it lives on cecede on
the rocks of desert shrublands. = vstomys edwardii
Anta says they totaled 145 traps for 14 days. The two new genus
specimens were caught 2 days apart in the same trap, within
the single enclosure (live stock exploded but not here).
April 30. Bariloche. Included Christie came with the skin of
a wildcat caught at Fortin Crossroads. They hunt
