8 Then drove to San Martin de los Andes where everything was shut (May Day), then to Junin de los Andes and back the road to Lago Huechulaufquen. Some llamas in the flats not far from the fish research station. Camped along a road that circles around the west end of the lake at a site where a new bridge was being constructed over a stream. Gorgeous view of Volcan Lanin. Saw a Rattus at the fire pit at our camp spot. Dick set 11 steel traps for tuco tucos. Here there are patches of 20-year-old pines, a few Araucaria trees, cipres, Nothofagus, Acaena, radal, Mutisia. Night started out brillian clear. May 2- Huechulaufquen. Morning cloudy, Lanin not visibnle, but cleared later. Sage's tuco traps caught 1 Abro longi and 2 tucos that looked like haigii. He saved their skeletons. Of the two Oligos in cages with quintral seeds, one of them (8901) had consumed all of them, the other (8902) had eaten seven of eight berries. Then to Junin de los Andes; people along the road picking rosa hips. Lunch in Junin de los Andes. The owner of the restaurant had heard nothing of ratadas.

Phoned Nadia Guthman; she is not working in biology, but doing sculptures. She says that the Malbran Institute has identified Hanta virus in at least one Abro longipilis. Some sunshine. May 4- Bariloche. Errands around town and repairs to apartment. Mathew White and Justin Martin left on the bus for San Rafael. The van got clobbered on Av. Mitre; the right sliding door no longer opens. In the late afternoon put traps out at four places on the south loop of the Lla0 Liao road. May 5- Bariloche. Picked up traps early in the morning. Stars still out at 8 a.m. At the pasture across the road from the gate into the Pruden's home, I had set 18 Shermans, which caught 1 Abro longi. Sage had set 17 Museum specials: caught 5 Oligos and 1 Abro oliv. All of these were
