Pearson - 1997 21 wide for Chelemys. They are burying the fiberoptic telephone cable along the road at this site. Under the bark of a small dead nire tree was a big queen yellow jacket, quite torpid. At 7 p.m. put out traps nesar the Aeroclub. Actually, between the dirt road that takes off at the railroad crossing the main highway and the railroad right-of-way. This is a strip of lush ungrazed vegetation: Anita's line was very diverse, rosa, palo de pichi,Colletia, acaena, neneo, green grass, a couploe of wild apple trees, Seneciio, Berberis. My line was less diverse, most;y wild rose and lush grass but some of the others. This locality will be: 11km ENE Bariloche. It is 1.1 km west of the Aeroclub turnoff, hence about 2 or 3 km short of our last e called Aeroclub trapping site which, which we called 2 km E Aeroclub, 13 km NE Bariloche. Total traps 91 MS and 37 Shermons. 6 December- Ran traps at 7 a.m. catch was: in MS 2 Oligoryzomys and 2 Abro longi. In Shermans: 1 Oligo, 2 Abro oliv or juvenile Auliscomys, and 15 Abro longi.
