hereabout, including some with many seed ash layers. Didn't puma, Calo didn't show for his appointment. April 29. Friday. Up Cerro Otto at dawn to photo Larga forest, but truck ahead of me got stuck at our usual stop (Triple range). Sniffed around and found two diggings in a clear swall in the Sena forest a few hundred yards below the triple range; also some on the left and in the meadow at the old homestead across the road from the Confiteria and this slope (120m); also many in black soil among scattered Nive, Larga, and Lombos a couple of hundred yards down the road from the Confiteria. Heard none, and no fresh diggings. Some dig hopping at base of bamboo clumps. Amaway with yellowing or dead leaves and big seed capsules containing about a dozen seeds. The rosa mosqueta is loaded with red hips, the cones green or yellow. The gun-cody poppers are a little past; the large not quite red yet. April 29. VP Cerro Otto in the afternoon and put 6 pump traps and 2 cage traps Piedras Blancas (Confiteria), 3 steel or woodbrees at the clear "arawds" place in the Larga between Piedras Blancas and the top, and finally at dusk 4 steel or Woodbrees at the very top. Two of the holes at the top were open and had sort-of runways like Clearcump; and several of the burrows were big enough to easily accomodate #0 steel trap. April 30 morning partly clear, no frost. VP Cerro Otto at 8:30. The
