JOURNAL April 17.- Bariloche. Visited Parques in the morning; Gustavo, Ramilo, Miguel Gross, and Anahi Perez were there. No new news on ratadas. Rented a cellular phone. In late afternoon put traps on the Llao Llao Peninsula, 5 km W Llao Llao Hotel, back the trail beyond Lago Escondido. Oodles of old black llaos llaos lying on the trail, they were not there in December. The rosa mosqueta has ripe fruits; no signs of mice eating them or making piles under the rosa bushes. I set 30 MS and 36 Shermand on the left side of the trail in, almost the same line as last December. Dick Sage set 36 Shermand and 37 MS. On both our lines, 20 of the MS were old ones, and 50 new ones with the plastic treadles. Finished setting about dusk (6:30), then sat in the forest and listened for birds. Heard only the three rhinocryptids and one chippy bird. Very quiet among the bamboo and coihues. A few huge old cypresses Sage saw several places with collections of rosa fruits at the bottom of rosa bushes. The Scotch broom has finished seeding. Almost all the old pods have opened; a few skinny pods are brown and dry but remain unopened. Are they mature? Camped on the road back to the picnic spot on Lago Perito Moreno. Clear, Calm. Small bat flying along the road through the bamboo. April 18.- Night very calm, quiet. Heard barn owl. Jacklighted about 200 yards down the bamboo-lined trail, saw nothing. In the morning it was not even light until almost 8 oclock. Picked up traps: My Museumm Specials: 1 Scytalopus alive, 1 Geoxus, 2 Abro olivaceous, 2 Abro longi, 9 Oligoryzomys. My Shermans: 2 Oligo, 4 olivaceous, 2 longipilis, 1 Loxodontomys. Sage MS: 1 chucao, 1 Loxo, 3 longi, 2 oliv, 8 Oligo. Sage Shermands: 5 Oligo, 5 longi, 2 oliv. His separate line of 8 Shemrans and 9 MS had 1 chucao, 2 longi, and 1 oliv. Total traps out was 66 of mine and 73 of Sages = 139. Total catch wa 5 birds!, 55 mice, of which 24 Oligo, 17 longi. 11 oliv, 2 Loxo, 1 Geoxus. Trap success with 139 traps for all 55 mice =39.6%, for Oligo 17.3, for longi 17%. Trap success including 5 birds was 43.2%. The new style MS traps seemed to work OK; snap traps more effective for Oligo than Shermands. Drove to the place that looks out over the LlaoLlao and the lakes and measured mice until the laptop computer ran out of power; then the
