The lake level is a few meters higher, at least 6 or 7 chuquos in one area; thus quills stopped to examine a piece of the water's edge where there were Keithredon droppings and while looking around, an Elyzodontis dashed out into the water, caught them. Then noticed a frog-like form seeming under water with simultaneous flake of the hind feet. Caught it; an Amygoma. Later, about 6 ft. from the water's edge I saw a dry tree mound; excavated it by hand and it promptly filled with water. Then walked around to the other side of the bush and a dry mouse scouted out of the water-filled hole and escaped. I think it was a big Elgures. Anita saw a suspicious refuge and poked it with a shovel; a tree grunted at her, catched it. It seemed to be in a shallow cave. Also picked up a large snake Philodryas. Saw a pair of Calif. Avalis. Also caught 1 small lizard. Only saw about 3 hares. Once again disaffainted in the abundance of mice, marsupials, and predators. There will be no hilltops to serve as refugia. Sunny, warm, not windy all day. At the base of a tree part of the hunting pit Anita found remains of 2 Elyzodonta. Nov. 11 Morning sunny + warm, but then clouded self. at 2 left for Rio Gallegos and stopped at the Bastia's at the Park Good house. Abel had just left for
