from National Geographic to study the edible wild plants used by the Mapuche Indians. He did not knowof any Weinmannia trees on the Llao Llao Peninsula, but I am not sure he would know. Andrea and Tom Kitzberger. were there. He has been studying/caterpillars in the lengas. She has been doing enzymes of populations of Alerces trees, from Chiloé over the mountains to the Argentine side, and trying to tie it into the glacial history etc. She says that Markgraf's pollen profiles dont help because she cannot distinguish alerces pollen from cipres pollen. Werner and Joanne Flueck came by at 8 p.m. She returned from the States the same day we did. Werner has a Conicet fellowship to study red deer etc, has finished his house at Lago Gutierrez. His official "Headquarters" is at the ecology/fisheries place on the river above San Martín de los Andes, but his duties seem to consist of picking up his check at the bank. They both had just returned from the huemul meetings in El Bolson. Joanna seems to be in a PhD program with Rapoport as her major professor, doing genetics of huemul populations. Joanna talked about the record-breaking warm dry spell, but the stream at their house is still flowing fast enough to spin their electric turbine. Max temp during the day 72°. Sunny all day. November 10- Bariloche. Overnight low 46°, morning overcast, then sunny in afternoon. High 70°. Eileen, John, and Lisa came for lunch. They brought with them a huge captive tuco (sociabilis) and a live Chelemys, caught as follows: Eileen was lying down on bare ground watching tucos. She heard one call, turned to look at it and saw an adult sticking its head out of a burrow. Just then the Chelemys, possibly frightened by her movement, dashed down the hole occupied by the tuco. A moment later, the Chelemys came streaking out of the hole and took shelter in Eileen's jacket near her armpit. She caught it and brought it in to verify the identification. John says it is the same species that he saw before during the daytime (see above). There seem to be many of them and of Reithrodon on their study area. Something digs out the burrows, also. November 11- Overnight minimum in Bariloche was 50°. Left for Villa Angostura about 10:30 a.m. Sunny. Almost no livestock seen, even on the big mallín at Tehuel Malal. One squashed hare en route to Villa Angostura. The road is lined with spectacular Scotch Broom, tourists photing it. We noticed that rarely are Rosa and Scotch Broom mixed; either one or the toher. Lupines not bloomng yet. Lunch and groceries in Villa Angostura. Sroppted to talk with Parkguard Willink at Lago Espejo. He says there are some Weinmannia trees about 300 meters along the coast from his house, but that they are not blooming. Then on to Lago Espejo Chico. Sr.
