blooming. A few of the Duraznillo bushes have big
fleshy "plums". When mature (dry) they split open
and reveal a spherical stone the size of an buckshot.
Delivered photos to the two farm families, harvesting
alfalfa. Big potato plants.
Jan. 14 Night freezing, mostly clear. Picked up traps
6 to 10 a.m. On the rocky hill near Chaca in
the 10 cage traps set for Phyllotus were 205 Euneomys.
5 other rocky slope cage traps held 2 Phyllotus.
The Shermons and #15 traps held 4 Abdomen canescens and
30 Eleguandula. Many scattered, spring #15 (but not
Shermans. Only 6 of the mice in Shermon, all Elegius. The
Elegius population breeding also said.
Saw 2 herds of 12 rock rheas near Canedo Bonto; a
squared Peludo west of Pitaingen.
Picked up a ranch family going to Barbalo. Good informant.
Husband said no guaneros at Pitaingen but a few on
San Ramon. Says you see lots of Peludos in winter but
that the Pelos disappear in winter, either the blessings of
cows as sheep forage.
The Euneomys didn't eat any apples all day, and
only a little bit overnight, ate grass end-on, and rolled
costa. A soft fluffy gentle beast.
