9 set in a pasture being overgrown with rosa, a few big cipres and coihue trees. Part of my line was quite open with only a few scrawny rosas- not at all productive of mice, which I take to mean Oligo numbers are not high. This locality is 3 km SSW Llao Llao Hotel. Then we picked up traps set at quintral vines at two places along the road on either side of the Punto Panoramico. We set 4 Shermans baited with oats and apple in each of 4 quintral vines. Three of my traps were on the ground near the bottom of the bush, the others were up off the ground in the branches of the quintral and of the radal/retamo that had been killed by the quintral Two of mine on the ground caught Abro longi, one set about 1 m off the ground on top of a wooden fence post leaning at a 45 degree angle into the quintral bush caught an Oligo. None of Sage's, all up in the bushes caught anything. The fourth location was a rosa infested clearing across the road from the Valle del Sol Hotel (1 km W Lagunita El Trebol). My 14 Shermans catched 1 Oligo and 1 Abro oliv (escaped); my 17 MS caught 4 Oligo, 1 Abro longi, and 1 Loxodontomys. Sage's 14 Shermans caught 1 Abro oliv and his 15 MS caught 1 Oligo, 1 longi, and 1 oliv. This was a clearing in coihue/cipres forest with lots of rosa. Summary of trap success, not counting the 16 traps set in quintral bushes: 95 traps, 19 mice (= 20%); 11 Oligo (=11.6%), and 3 Abro longi (=3.2%}. I dissected all day, delivered some things to Ecotono (quintral report for Marcello Aizen and a japanese reprint on Nothofagus for Andrea Kitzberger). Sage went lizard hunting. Christie came by at 10 p.m. He is moving to Buenos Aires. May 6- Bariloche. Adrian Monjeau came by at 9 a.m. He had been to the Esperanza glacier, but without Gabriel Rapaport to guide him to the spot where Gabriel had found mice frozen in the ice. Gabriel brought back one flattened mouse that I thought Adrian said was an Abro longi, but Sage thought he said an Oligo. Adrian wants xeroxes of my catalog since 1988. Left for the airport at 1:30. As we emerged to get in a taxi, Anahi's husband appeared with a box of chocolates in appreciation of the computer that I had brought for him and Anahi. Steppe was brown. Flower-garden rose bushes in Bariloche were still blooming, hence no killing frost yet.
