Pearson - 1994 Buenos Aires to capture and take home live sociabilis. Parques has printed up an impressive folder of reserch "sponsored" by them, entitled:"La Investigacion en los Parques Nacionales Patagonicus, Una gacetilla informativa para la comunidad cientifica." It includes also a list of projects that they would like to see pursued, which includes completion of the inventory of biodiversity in areas still not completed, such as, for mammals, Laguna Blanca, Los Alerces, Puelo, Perito Moreno, Los Glaciares, Bosques Petrificados, and "Tierra delFuego". They list mammal species for which they are interested in evaluations of abundance. These are species of special value (endemics, vulnerable, unique, or threatened), or whose status of conservation and abundnce is insufficiently known: Lagidium wolffsohni, Octodon bridgesi, Dromiciops, Ctenomys sociablilis, Hippocamelus bisulcus, Pudu, Lutra provocax, Lutra felina, Felis guigna. Visited Michael Chrstie at his house. He was working on his marked lizards. He says a Parkguard found a tuco skull at Paso Cordoba, but Michael has not seen diggings there. He and Eileen found diggings near Lago Lolog, and between there and San Martin de los Andes. Adam Hajduk came by to report that Silveira had sent us a copy of the Cueva Traful book. Adam found a collection of severed tuco skulls in an archeological dig at Arroyo Corral on Estancia La Longha. He might be able to find them for us to examine. He described the role of glass beads in the dating of archeological digs. November 30- Bariloche- Overcast. Went to Ecotono and talked with Rapoport; he wants citation for maximum species diversity of mammals in a local hectare. Then talked with Adrian Monjeau's three students, who are writing up their study on the trapping grid near the airport. Populations this year are very low; the trend has been more Abrothrix longipilis and less Eligmodontia, which correlates with an increase in the amount of cover and bushes. Then lunch with Alberto Sosa, and then to Chalhuaco with him. One bridge almost impassable, lots or Ourissia in bloom, no amancay yet but lots of amancay plants Some sign of Chelemys, but no earth
