Pearson - 1995 9 know about the specimens that I had given to Pascual 4 years ago, but Tejedor et al. did not list those specimens in their manuscript. The young mammalogist Diego Verzi was listed on the program from Departamento Cientifico Zoologia Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque, but he was not one of the organizing committee. Pardinás himself is listed from Departamento Cientifico Paleontologia Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque (same as Pascual). My meeting Saturday morning with Goin did not occur; he seems to have had to stay home with a sick baby. I later learned that Goin and Pardinás were co-authors on this MS. Why didn't Pardinás say something about it? Back to Buenos Aires on the bus Saturday afternoon, then flew back to Bariloche Sunday noon. Steppe much greener than a couple of weeks ago. Michael Christie came by at about 8:30 and arranged for us to show Liz and Tony Barnosky around tomorrow. November 20.- Overnight minimum 10C; some drizzle during the day. Took the Barnoskies down the Limay Valley. Eileen Lacey passed us on the road going the other way, turned around, and met us at her study area. It was drizzly windy, so she and John were not working. Also, they had seen 35-g young and did not want to interrupt lactation. She has found some of her old marked females, but not the males. We then went to Cueva Trafúl I. The excavation had pretty much collapsed, but numerous mouse bones were still in situ. Then went to the amberat cave on Estancia La Primavera at the north end of the third terminal moraine. Lots of low grade amberat still available, plus grass nesting material. We saved a few skulls more or less at random from both caves. There were 2 Chelemys, 3 Phyllotis, 5 Ctenomys, 15 Euneomys, 1 frog, 1 Akodon xantho, and 1 Reithrodon. Some drizzle off and on, plus wind. Home at 4:30 p.m. Saw one condor over the Rio Cuyin Mazano. Numerous pines still living at La Primvera near the moraine; about 3 ft. tall. A few of them barked by, probably, bull elk. It is said that La Riviere, the owner and President of National Parks, wants to plant lots of pine trees on the estancia. November 21.- Minimum 42, scattered clouds. Drove out to
