had just sighted them and was depart after
them with a gun. OPart I had breakfast and
then started picking the legs of the T Phyllotis
for EM comparisons with those from near Jaena.
We also had 2 Jaena Phyllotis with us which
we fixed at the same time. Not too happy with
the fixation method - but we shall see. We have
been - etherizing the animal, exposing the trachea and
introducing some fixative there. When he has stopped
breathing, we open the chest cut either the aorta or
(hopefully through st. ventricle)
the vena cava, perfuse first a little Ringer's
(reptilia (?) and then fixative until the heart
stops beating. The perfusion apparatus I had rigged
up has been not very satisfactory etc etc etc. Then I
have excised 2 pieces of lung tissues (for the same sites
fixation: overnight in all animals) and put it in fresh fixative overnight.

Dave shot a tinamou for us, which we roasted

been closing in on us here as at Chalapalca, but
somehow never seems so windy or cold.

This morning started embueding the lung tissues.
OPart put another "integrator" into a leg just as we
spent the day down at the spring watching the
operated lizard and catching some others to take
back to Benest.
