On the way back to Bambuco, off and on sprinkles, stopped at some cliffs and good care 5km W of Pento Moreno. Only a few pellets and loose bones. Very lush brushy vegetation at the base of the cliffs and along the stream - was struck by the abundance and size of the mat-acacna, none of it at Palamiren Viejo. Maybe also good indicator of pre-forests? May 13 The captive Eligmodontia ate several seeds of mistatiorids, lint cents and I called to her and after a few minutes suffered a burning throat for more than one hour, Owl pellets. May 14 Started snow on the hills around Salo solvel Huespi, went out to INTA at 10 to identify Susan Martin's and Javier Valletti's catch from their traps at the INVAP station on the Riva Rubi Surfer. They had a lot of Eligmodontia, some also taulito, 4 Phyllotis darwin, some Auliscomp, some also longi, and one Euneocyp! It was in a traps (calipote) trof in rocky brush at the bottom of a cliff, present butter boil, caught by a bird leg in a small zonotrap, trying to go down a hole in the earth. It looks like a fluffy, short-tailed Phyllotis or a Reithrodon, Brownor and fluffier than Auliscomp. Have developed the theory that not thief, not hare, have hunted Euneocyp, but willows and Norway rats, We are going to return tomorrow to el canyon at 5km ESE Estacion Pento Moreno and trap x the dense dense brush along the stream and the dense brush along the bottom of the cliff. Various visitors such as Michael Christie, Hilda Rawlall,
