Pearson - 1996 23 although they have cut a lot, no Berberis percei, very little Berberis buxifolia, Chaura, apple and pear trees. We put out a complex series of trap lines, mostly in bushy rosa habitat but some in bamboo, some in forest, some down along the lake and behind the confiteria. Finished setting about 3 o'clock. Hot. Total 95 traps, mostly Shermans but many Museum Specials. Came home on the 4:45 boat; lake glassy smooth, people swimming along the shore. Shade temperature at our apartment was 86 at 5:30. The IVth Sanitary Zone office was not open at 6:00, so I dont know if they will receive our specimens tomorrow...if any. 13 December - Day cloudless, calm, warm. Overnight minimum 62, temp at 3:30 was 85. Went back to Isla Huemul on the 8:45 boat from Playa Bonita. The manager says that all the trails were choked with rosa mosqueta when they moved in. Picked up all 95 traps at the four levels on the island: not a single mouse. One rayodita bird in a snap trap. Returned to Bariloche at noon. Anita puncturedClinic her foot with a nail while picking up traps; went to the San Carlos Clinic for a tetanus shot. Temperature in mid-afternoon reached 87. Sunny all day. We left some lizard tissue with Stan Fox in his liquid nitrogen. Also, Christie came by to talk lizards with Sage. Sage and I put out 52 Shermans along the unpaved road just beyond the Aeroclub. My line was almost all rosa mosqueta (in bloom), but also some Scotch broom (in bloom and forming pods), Chacay, thistle, and a small non-spiney shrub. Sage's line had some neneo also. Christie says that the big building near this trapline is a slaughter house. Lots of black vultures nerby. 14 December - Day mostly sunnny and warm, but clouded up in late afternoon. Our 53 Shermans caught 2 Auliscomys, 1 Oligoryzomys, and 8 Akodon longipilis; total 11 animals. Dick photoed the Oligoryzomys, then froze it and the longipilises for the Sanitary district. Kept the two Auliscomys alive for feeding tests. Skinned the two Euneomys from Microwave Hill, and the two Eligmos from there, and the Ako xantho and one longipilis. One of the two Euneomys was much larger
