collected pellets along the cliff, etc. Couldn't stratify the ones in the chute. Saw 2 vicuñan off claro; large and quite tame. As we were returning to car 3 scurrying-looking gambores or howler monkeys approached Sage, asked if he was hunting, and said that we were indeed on Est. Tachuel (or at least on the lower Estación). Shortly afterwards we saw them, dismounted, at the base of the cliff, probably hunting vicuñas. Sage's 20 traps, half located with tame, half with carrion and equally divided, caught 2 also longi and 2 Notos Valdivianus x Amula's and my lines caught 3 audisamps, 1 Notos rodin, 2 Oryz, 13 also. longi = 23 total. Drove west to Arroyo Vuelta and shivered bad levels in a pleasant grove along stream. Sage collected lizards on top of the cliffs and along the road: Sceloporus labrovis, Sceloporus altissimus, L. labrovis (near barn), S. burgeri (red-tailed), L. boulengeri, and Sidemutis kingi in sandy place (yellow belly, black top, some reddish). a couple of quarts of Agidulabo grounds pellets (Brutus fuscens) contained almost no bones, almost entirely have fur, some feathers. Nov.11 Manuel Christos came in with one owl pellets from the burned area on the way up to Refugio Morayes, contain two audisamps (or Cano Carbon), Drove out to Centro Atunus and met a Canadian nuclear physicist (Bill Walker) interested in birding and a Virginian and his wife (Whitlaw). Another parker is there also (Parkinson) Whitlaw is teaching nuclear engineering students,
