Pearson - 1993 18 Peg's line (22 + 22) had dead: 1 Aulisco, 1 longi, 1 xantho. Alive: 6 longi, 1 xantho, 1 Aulisco, 2 Oryzomys (a baby and a big adult in same live trap). Anita's traps: MS- 3 Aulisco, 1 Reithro, 1 longi; Shermans- 2 Aulisco, 1 xantho, 2 longi, 1 Oryz; Repeater trap- 1 longi. Total 160 traps, 48 mice = 30% According to Peg's count: 23 longipilis, 7 xanthorhinus, 13 Auliscomys, 3 Oryzomys, 2 Reithrodon. Her count of xanthorhinus/olivaceus for the entire trip is 24 xantho and 29 olivaceus. Total catch of all mice: 244, most of which were released. The smartweed at Condor seemed to add nothing; bushes such as Berberis increased probablitiy of capture, at least of Auliscomys and longi. Home at 9:30 a.m. Sunny and cloudless all day. Drove to the Valle Encantado and photoed the Amberat Pinnacle, and looked for amber in the little cave by the road along the Rio Traful but didnt find any good enough for exhibition in the upcoming poster session of the SAREM meetings. Lots of footprints of a rat-sized animal in the sand in this cave. 7 December- Bariloche 8-10 December- Bariloche. 8th meeting of SAREM. Milton Gallardo stayed with us. Emilio Budin, son of Oldfield Thomas's collector was present, and Barquez gave a historic account of his father's collecting activities. Superb talk on genetic imprinting by Vitulo. A few attendees from USA, Chile, Uruguay. 131 papers and posters on conservation, communities, habitats, behavior, cytogeneticvs, etc. 194 authors and 155 "attendees". First issue of "Mastozoologia Neotropical" was distributed. 11 December- Bariloche- Took Milton Gallardo to the bus; then a short visit to the Llao Llao Peninsula. Very few new shoots on our bamboo plant. Then Peg to the airport; about a liter of liquid nitrogen left in the 10-liter tank, filled two days after she arrived. Adrian came by with a Mr. Lopez who brought two flowering branches of bamboo from near Tronador (a Cascada near where the milky Rio Manso and a clear stream come together). He said that there were several clumps close together, all in bloom. There were seeds forming in some of the flowers, so presumably they had been fertilized. 12 December- Rain and snow in the morning. Conference with
