Pearson - 1994 18 apparently set him up near their study area at San Martin, and introduced him to Pedro, her trapper, but apparently the crew had still not gotten good mouse pictures. He had also been in contact with Parkguard Victor Pacheco at Aguas Calientes, and with Schlegel in Rome. He also reported that a North American company (Trillium) had bought a piece of Tierra del Fuego as big as Chiloé Island and was going to log it. Murua was down there consulting or doing an impact statement. We left about 11 and headed up to the pass, with stops for bamboo and lunch. Saw a flock of a half-dozen Araucanian pigeons at one stop maybe 6 km east of Aguas Calientes, in the dead bamboo area. My three cage traps at the pass held one adult Chelemys; released it. Anita's traps had one adult Chelemys (released), one adult Auliscomys (released), and one Abrothrix longipilis (moribund, put it up). Then down the hill into Argentina. Saw another Araucanian pigeon maybe 10 km east of the pass. Also a fox about there. Home about 6 p.m. December 16- Christie came by with a dead tuco (haigii?) that had been moribund in one of Eileen's traps across the Limay. Saved skeleton; the guts had been removed. Christie reported seeing many flocks of pigeons during one of his trips to Chile (?last year?) through the quila bamboo area. Served on Nora Ibarguengoytia;s Licenciado thesis committee: Reproduction of Liolaemus pictus, which has a bi-annual cycle. December 17- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Drove out to Pampa Quemada to check bamboo. December 18- Bailoche. Sunny and warm. Nellie Frei de Neumeyer came by (flower show at th German School), and Noel Wesley and Graham Haris' mother (Junin de los Andes) and sister (San Martin de los Andes). Finished the owl pellets from Estancia La Primavera; remarkable diversity including Geoxus, Chelemys, Irenomys, Rattus, Reithrodon, Oryzomys, Abrothrix longi, Abro xantho, and Eligmodontia. December 19- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Went up to the University to leave a note for Carmen Ubeda and some mouse skulls from owl pellets for her student who is doing pellets from the airport. Then to ECOTONO where I discussed the xanthorhinus manusrpt with Marianna
