Pearson - 1993 1 Journal- 1993 31 October.- Bariloche. Arrived by plane 3 pm. Steppe completely brown from the air, although lots of small ponds. The mallin at Estancia Condor sort of green but not very; lots of sheep in it. Quite a bit of Scotch broom blooming but not nearly maximum; Notro just starting to bloom in town. Apple trees blooming. Met Michael Christie on the street. He went to see the Puyehue bamboo last summer or autumn and saw flocks of pigeons feeding on the culms but not seedlings or seeds on the ground. The spring had been warm for a while, then turned cold. A lot of rain in September, plus a big storm last April that washed out bridges etc. The Lake level up over the breakwater at the new Port. He is leaving for Puerto Madryn for some Wildlife meetings. 1 November.- Bariloche. Visited Ecotono in the morning. Nadia Gutman was there, Werner Flueck, and Rapoport, plus three or four others. They have added about three rooms. Nadia reports that Eligmodontia is very scarce on their grids, Akodon xanthorhinus OK, Reithrodon fairly abundant. They had some flooding on or near their grid. Drove to the Llao Llao Peninsula after lunch and checked on our bamboo, then drove home via Colonia Suiza, checking up on places to trap for xantho and olivaceous. Found an intersting little-grazed area a couple of kms west of the bridge at Arroyo Casa de Piedras. The habitat at Casa de Piedras still looks OK (deserty), and still some good steppe/scrub nire habitat beyond and behind the Centro Atomico. See especially a soccer field south of Barrio Puerto Perito Moreno, which should be in the middle of the hybrid zone. The Hippodromo habitat now has a lot of houses on it, and the marsh where we used to catch olivaceous seems to have been mostly drained and heavily grazed. Day mostly sunny, breezy. November 2.- Bariloche. To Ecotono in the morning to talk with Adrian, Karin, Nadia, and Mariana. They have a live Ako olivaceous and are planning to try some crosses between xantho and olivaceous. They have chosen 8 "types" for toothwear ageing of xantho and loaned me about 30 cleaned skulls to check their ageing. They agree lots of Reithrodons and hares on their study area this year, including already a 10-

Pearson - 1993 2 gram Reithro. The vegetation on their study plot near the airport is becoming lusher, partly because of increasing rainfall and partly because grazing has been kept off. The first issue of Mastozoologia Neotropical is to be ready for the SAREM meetings in December. They are soliciting manuscripts in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. In the afternoon drove up Cerro Otto to inspect the two bamboo clumps. Notro not yet blooming. The meadow not grazed but not very dense grass. Numerous tuco earth cores. A large number of fallen Nothofagus (lenga) branches. They were live branches from healthy second-growth trees, mostly 2.5 to 6 inches in diameter. Maybe a late wet snow? The fallen branches had green leaves just unfolding. The upper bamboo clump had numerous skinny yearling culms, some dead shoots. Amancay just coming up, no new bamboo shoots yet. Heard Fio Fios and big woodpeckers. The lower bamboo clump had several yearling culms. Scores of new houses visible on the flats below (= Pampa de Huenuleo). Cool and cloudy all day, but clearing in late afternoon. Clara Bosch came by. She is babysitting children at Christie's house (=Gallopin's former house). 3 November. Bariloche. Sunny and warm all day. Ecotono in the morning and saw Joanna Fluek-Smith and Werner. They say the red deer are abundant and fat, but with small antlers. They found a population of huemuls west of 5 de Mayo in Chubut Province. They did not actually see the huemuls but found 14 or 17 carcases, some of them dead fairly recently. They still do not have permits to drive the two vehicles they brought with them 3 years ago. Drove out to Laguna Los Juncos at Perito Moreno in the afternoon. Lots of water in it. Then walked across the Reithrodon pampa at Marful's and saw no sign of Reithros out on this flat, although there were scattered holes and droppings between the railroad and the road. The pampa looked as though it might have been underwater, and one of the fences along the railway had weeds hung in the wires indicating very high water. Numerous big clumps of neneo (Mulinum) in low places were dead; drowned? People say that in one weekend last April they received half of a full year's suppy of rain; bridges were washed out, etc. At Marful's saw one Condor; also one carancho near a big nest where caranchos had nested in earlier

Pearson - 1993 3 years. 4 November.- Bariloche. Finished ageing xanthorhinus skulls and delivered them to Ecotono. None of Adrian's group were present. Temperature mild but overcast, barometer low. Repaired lights on car and connected the speedometer cable, which Victor had disconnected! A satellite photo in color is available in stores. It covers from Cholila to Volcan Lanin. 5 November.- Aguas Calientes, Chile (near Termas de Puyheue). Left Bariloche about 9:30. No troubles at immigration or aduana. The first quila (which was blooming) was 7.1 km east of the Chilean aduana. Then lots of bloomed quila to Aguas Calientes. We stopped at numerous places to look at plants that appeared to be dead for two years, one year, and even a few still green and freshly blooming. Could find nothing that looked like a seed, and no seedlings. Also saw a few quilas not yet bloomed. Saw no pigeons, no parrots, no mice. Rain rain. Checked into a cabana at Aguas Calientes, then went for a walk through a gorgeous wet forest with quila and other bamboo. Still no seedlings, no seeds. If it rains year around here, one could not expect seeds to accumulate without sprouting, and thus they would not be available to the mice and birds for a long enough period to allow big populations to build up. Our Park Guard friend Nicolas Pacheco is off at Osorno today, but will be back tomorrow. 6 November.- Aguas Calientes. Rain off and on during the night. Walked up the forest trail in the morning, then looked up Park Guard Nicolas Pacheco. He showed us a place along the road to Antillanca where 1-inch- tall seedings of quila bamboo were coming up, under a tangle of cut quila. It was a slope where woodcutters had messed up the bamboo. Nicolas says that these seedlings are coming up because this paricular spot gets sun. He says that these plants bloomed two years ago: bloomed the first spring/summer, fattened up the seeds during the next spring/summer, then dropped the seeds during the autumn/winter, and now are sprouting. He also says that the mice climb up into the canes and eat the flowers before the seeds have fallen. Ditto birds, such as wild pigeons and jilgueros (=Sicalis). Neither he nor other people reacted when I suggested parrots might eat the seeds. Nicolas showed us a video of a mouse up on a quila cane frantically feeding on seeds/flowers/developing seeds. It was a fat, long-tailed mouse which he thought was an Oryzomys. When I commented on how fat it was, he said it was in winter and the fur might have been wet. And

Pearson - 1993 4 if it were fat, why was it feeding so frantically in the wild while being filmed? He has been keeping some records of the number of mice brought in by the two cats at his house (which is not particularly close to a lot of dead bamboo). Last April and May the cats were catching lots of Akodon olivaceus, A. longipilis, and Oryzomys. On one day they brought in 18 mice! And they frequently brought in more than 10. When asked about raptors and owls, he said there were lots of barn owls, foxes, and guinas (sall wildcats). When asked what happened to all the mice in the wild, he said that the winter killed them. More than 50 mice drowned in the outdoors hot pool on each of three or more successive days. In any event, we think we can detect at least three cohorts of bloomed quila: one with the inflorescenses fallen and presumably having dropped their seeds; another with inflorescences present and with black "seeds" containing a milky sap; and third, plants still with quite a few green leaves and the seeds not at all developed. In addition there are still a few quila plants that have not bloomed at all. In any event, with three annual cohorts of bloom, and with mice feeding on unripened seeds before they fall as well as after they fall, there is plenty of time for a ratada to develop. The surprising thing is that there are not mice everywhere right now. We saw none whatsoever; nor did we see wild pigeons or parrots. Nicolas said they came into his storage shed and ate plastic, and into the office and nibbled on papers. Left Termas de Puyehue for Bariloche about 1 p.m. Stopped at the pass to pick up the traps we left yesterday. Nothing in my three Shermans, but Anita in four Shermans had 2 big Chelemys. Released them. There were good earth cores lying around, and no tuco- tucos, so Chelemys must be able to make them. 7 November- Bariloche. Windy, mostly clear. Drove out to our bamboo at La Veranada. The road is wider than ever...but not paved. People have been cutting dead nires for firewood, but not live ones. Stumps recently cut, 4 to 8 inches in diameter, have 30 to 40 growth rings; they may have died several years ago. The lengas on the hillside west of the bamboo have more dead tops than ever. Our mouse-trapping grid is a jungle of bamboo, nires, fallen branches and trunks, cacho de cabra, etc. The lengas and nire leaves are well out. There is digging by tucos and Chelemys everywhere, with lots of earth cores. Heard no tucos.

Pearson - 1993 5 Saw Adrian on the street as we returned. Over 100 papers submitted for the SAREM meetings, including Mares, Kirsch, Phillips. 8 November- Bariloche. Clear, not windy. Went out to INTA and talked with Bonino and Carlos Lopez (the Volcan Hudson man). His report on Hudson has not been published. Julietta von Thungen is in Cordoba taking some course. They had graphs of rainfall for the past year in Bariloche and Pilcaniyeu. Way above normal, but April not as above normal as June. Lopez said bamboo seems to occur only above 1500mm of precipitation. He has data on organic content of soils etc., and has been studying a slight eruption of the volcano at Copahue. Bonino is doing a non- technical Mammals of Patagonia. Visited Christie's office, but only Miguel Gross was there. He says Gallopin is fine, working hard, Isobel not so well, perhaps because of the climate in Colombia. Elida Bettinelli came by; Marcello is working on paintings for the Interpretative Center at Puerto Blest. SNAP is trying to run one bird expedition per month. The Liao Liao Hotel got permission to cut some trees for more holes on the golf course, but then they cut more than their quota etc. Then Lawrence Simpson came by. He has been following for some time three nesting pairs of aquila moras (Gerrhonoetes), each in a different habitat. Says condors on the ranch are doing well. He still doesn't see Lagidium. La Riviere is head of National Parks again, The park guards all want to live in town instead of out in the woods, so La Riviere thinks he will have to train a whole new cohort of guards. The new bridge over the Rio Cullin Manzano washed out in the winter floods;it was only 8 months old and can be seen stranded on an island in the middle of the river. He has seen a single red bat, but says lots of dark bats in the big house on the Estancia. He says there are so many tucos in a high meadow on the north side of the Rio Traful near two lakes (Las Mellizas) that you can't run a horse over the ground. He also had a barn owl and a horned owl nesting about 50 m apart. Peter Simpson has retired from Estancia Chacabuco but is a consultant on red deer management. Arranged with Sr.Cingolani for an apartment for Peg Smith. 9 November- Bariloche. Went to the National Park office and talked with Chehebar, Eduardo Ramilo and Tamara Olson the Peace Corp girl. She is engaged to the Park

Pearson - 1993 official in charge of interpretative programs (Falcone); they are going to live at Parque Perito Moreno. In the afternoon set traps on the road to Colonia Suiza, 2.8 km west of the bridge over the Rio Casa de Piedras (= 15 km W Bariloche). I set 36 big Shermans baited with rolled oats, They were at the edge of grassy meadows containing some bunchgrass not too heavily grazed, nire thickets, retamo, Mutisia, rosa mosqueta, a few cipres, etc. Dense forest on the hillside a few hundred meters to the south (above the road). About 6 of my traps were at the bottom of 2-foot-deep holes dug in the meadow. A few tuco signs. Anita set 33 Shermans in similar places. On the way home took the road connecting with the paved road to Cerro Catedral and went past maybe 100 hectares of totally burned scrub (nire, retamo, acaena, Berberis, etc. Numerous abandoned tuco mounds, but nothing growing yet, and none of the bushes sprouting. Some open holes in the old tuco diggings, so maybe mice are present. The open acaena areas did not burn as completely. There were a few isolated clumps of bamboo that looked completely dead, but one of them had two 2-inch green shoots coming up out of the ash. Joanna and Werner Flueck saw it burning on October 13, only a month ago. 10 November- Bariloche. Morning sunny, minimum 50. Picked up traps at 15 km W Bariloche (road to Colonia Suiza). Anita's 33 had 4 Oryzomys, 3 olivaceus, and 2 Ako longipilis. Nothing in her 7 small Shermans and nothing in my traps set in the bottom of pits. My 36 traps had 1 Oryzomys, 4 olivaceus, and 3 longipilis. All were adults. Released all except the olivaceus. Total 69 traps: 5 Oryz, 7 olivaceus, 5 longipilis=25%. One of my traps was sprung, lying on its side, with a big stone inside it. Two or three others were lying on their sides with mice inside. These traps must have been found by somebody but not stolen! Numerous clumps of dead bamboo in the burned area, but only a few of them with any signs of shoots coming up. A few new tuco diggings at the edges of the burn. One freshly dead hare on the road near our trap line. Fluecks came for dinner. 11 November- Bariloche. Clear; minimum 48. Drove to Hotel Tronador at the west end of Lago Mascardi, then hiked up to the Cascadas de los Cesares, then backtracked and hiked up the trail toward the Lagunitas of Cesares, but we didn't get all the way to them. Some drizzle. On the lower slopes are huge

Pearson - 1993 7 maiten trees, huge radals and retamos, scattered bamboo, and nires. Higher up becomes dense nire and bamboo thicket. Some of the nires very large. Average sized ones had about 50 growth rings. Some charred trunks from an old fire. At our highest point we were at about 3800 feet, and it ws dense nire/bamboo/chaura. Lots of Chelemys diggings in some spots. The senora at the hotel said the fire was a long long time ago; maybe before the twenties. Her husband, 62 years old, was very young at the time of the flowering and does not remember it. She thought it was in the thirties. She said that they used to say that there was a cycle of 20 years, then 30 years; now they say 50 years. The Veerenbruken family seems to have owned the hotel forever. The contrast with Puerto Blest is dramatic. 12 November- Lago Mascardi. Fresh snow on the trees up high. Scattered clouds. Hiked to the Aforo next to the Suspension Bridge over the lower end of the Rio Manso. Nire clumps, bamboo, meadows, etc., sort of like Pampa Linda but not as heavlily grazed. The bridge is impressive, built by Club Andino, and the water level measuring device was automatically recording. Then we started hiking up the trail to the mirador, through nire, a few maiten, a mature cipres forest, but did not go all the way to the lookout. Then drove on toward Tronador and stopped at the old Aforo between Suspension Bridge and Pampa Linda. It is 6.8 km by road WNW of the west end of Lago Mascardi, or 1.0 km by road west of the abandoned chacra at the bottom of a long grade. There is a cable car (abandoned) across the Rio Manso there, as well as the remains of a water-level-measuring well made of 55-gallon oil drums welded together. The vegetation is clumps of nire and bamboo, Berberis, a few scattered and grazed clumps of pampa grass. Located a good campsite 2.0 km by road farther west, across the road from the big basalt columns: nire, bamboo, berberis. Then started home after 4 pm when the road opened for east-bound traffic. Saw and heard parrots once, near Hotel Tronador. Talked with Don Pepe from the hotel, who was bulldozing gravel from the river. He says that there was a ratada last winter that had nothing to do with bamboo flowering. There were wild mice in the hotel buildings; they chewed the insulation on auto wiring and other plastic items. Home about 6:30. Minimum temperature at our apartment had been 41.

Pearson - 1993 8 13 November- Bariloche. Clear clear. Minimum 43. At 7 p.m. put out traps in the burned pampa behind the Centro Atómico. We could hear the Rio Casa de Piedras. The location must be about 12 km W Bariloche. The bridge at Rio Casa de Piedras on the map seems to be about 1/2 km farther and a bit more north, but only 1 km away. I set 35 Shermans (7 of them small Shermans) in the burned brush near the edge of unburned pampa, across the pampa, and along the edge of unburned brush and unburned pampa. The pampa vegetation is a small neneo, acaena, a chaura-like ground cover, another ground cover, very little grass, a few herbs such as dandelion; at least 75% ground covered. Very few tuco signs out in the pampa, but under the burned bushes were lots of tuco mounds, at least 100/acre. Saw no fresh mounds, however, and heard no tucos. Set numerous traps at mouse-like openings in tuco diggings. Saw some mouse tracks in the light sandy soil and ash. Anita set 27 big Shermans. The bamboo clump that had two new, 2-inch shoots a few days ago now has four. Patricia Fierro came by. She is in touch with Mary Taylor about a Clevelend Museum trip in January 1985. 14 November- Bariloche. Minimum 44. Clear. Picked up traps in the Pampa Quemada at 7:30. My line had three Eligmodontia, all in bare ground places: two of them in front of "tuco" holes under the burned out bushes, no ground cover, and one at the edge of a big bare sandy excavation, but holes under the rim. I caught nothing out in the unburned steppe. Anita caught two big Ako longipilis (released). Total trap success = 8%. The burned bushes, approximately in order of abundance, are: nire, retamo, berberis, radal, laura (Schinus patagonica), maiten, rosa mosqueta, mutisia, bamboo, palo pichi. Most of the rosa was near the road. Most impressive was the frequency of burned clumps of retamo (Diostea), surrounded by unburned steppe. It seems as though the retamo accumulates heaps of very flammable material around the base (suicide leading to regeneration after fire?). Farther back the dirt road back to our traps is a rather dense-grass area, then cipres forest going up a slope. In the afternoon drove east of town to Las Victorias, a huge real estate development. No houses yet, but streets (unpaved), trees, utilities are in. It has not been grazed for years, but some brush control has been in effect. The vegetation is

Pearson - 1993 86 Pampa Quemada, showing two mounds, november 14, 1993. Elyquimanta near here.

Tamta Resanada 7 / 93 [illegible]

Pearson - 1993 diverse, much like Cerro Leones but more grass. This location is 4.2 km by road east of the Civic Center. Then went to Adrian's study area on the Airport road. It is purer bunchgrass than I had remembered, plus a few rosa mosqueta etc. Then went to the airport and found a couple of dozen owl pellets in the usual row of pine trees. Clouds all around the horizon but clear overhead. 15 November- Clear; minimum 50. Went up to Ecotono and took out two male olivaceus to mate with their two female xanthorhinus. Veblen was there. He is working on die-back of lenga; says that trees with borers show slow growth. George Bartholomew visited here last January with his daughter Ksren, who is thinking of working on amancays. The botanist/ecologist Marcelo Aisen told me about Bart's visit. Fluecks visited in the afternoon, then Christie in the evening. He has submitted an abstract for a poster at the SAREM meeting: "Guano subfossil de roedor en cuevas del sud del Neuquen". He has collected owl pellets at the Bubo cave above Marful's gate. The lizards that he marked there showed an amazingly high survival a year later. He says there is amber in the first cave right by the curve in the road just upstream from Confluencia on the south side of the river. He has confidence in Bettinelli's field identifications at Somuncara. 16 November- Clear; minimum 45. Xeroxing at Gustavo's kiosk at the far end of the Faldeo. He is out of biology. Then drove on to Llao Llao bamboo clump and marked yearlings and 2-year-olds. Some coihues are with red blossoms. Then photoed the Eligmodontia capture site (Pampa Quemada) at the edge of the Piscicultura burn. Here are some mileages from the road signs along the Llao Llao road: Arroyo Gutierrez 10.5 km El Casco (hotel) 11.5 Marsh/Playa (windsurf) 12.2 Hipodromo 13.1 Wesley's 15.5 Aerosilla Campanario 17.6 Escuela Don Bosco 19.5 Peninsula San Pedro 20.4 Bellevue turnoff 24.6 Km 15.5 of the signs, to km 10.5 of the signs registered 4.7'km on our odometer.

Pearson - 1993 10 the afternoon. They are hoping to trap some tucos for genetic studies (DNA carried out in York, England). Andres Contreras has 3 or 4 children and is divorced; Yolanda is married but still living at Julio's house. Then dinner with Fluecks (brown trout from Rio Limay). 17 November.- Clear, minimum 45. Adrian came by with Emilio Budin, son of THE collector, Emilio Budin. Young Budin is 76 years old, was 7 years old when the family went on the collecting trip in the old Ford. He remembered all sorts of details, such as collecting at Pico Salamanca and catching Lestodelphys, and running out of food and shooting 5 doves and incorporating them in a polenta pie. He is going to show a historical video at the SAREM meeting. He is retired from a bank in Buenos Aires, has not been a biologist. Dinner with Patricia Fierro and Jorge Vallerini. Estancia Fortin Chacabuco has sold off the high country to some Italians, and Conrad Bailey is building them a lodge; it is to be managed for red deer. 18 November- Overcast, minimum 45. In the afternoon set the repeating rat trap in dense grass/sedge/rosa in the meadow at the south edge of Cerro Runge, between the cerro and the Faldeo road. Then hiked up to the top of a small hill south of the Faldeo, beginning where the road up Cerro Otto takes off from the Faldeo; it must be a part of Cerro Otto; called it Cerro Otto, 3440 ft.). The trail (and dirt road) go through scattered cipres, then it opens out into semi-arid habitat with cardon, espina negra, neneo, miner's lettuce, palo pichi, etc. No grazing. Cerro Runge is still solid cipres, but a small "bald" on top. Eleda Bettinelli came by with a few owl pellets. One pellet was from a cave low down on Cerro Villegas and contained a Reithrodon, an Auliscomys, and an Irenomys. It is the farthest east Irenomys that I know of. 19 November- Overcast. Nothing in the repeating trap in the Cerro Runge meadow. Hiked through the cipres forest to the top of Cerro Runge, which has a small "bald" with miner's lettuce, espina negra, calceolaria, etc., but not as extensive as yesterday on the shoulder of Cerro Otto across the Faldeo road from Cerro Runge. The cipres forest on Cerro Runge is almost pure, but there is quite a bit of grass/moss/miner's lettuce on the floor; not as dense as I remember the cipres near Christie's house, where I caught no mice at all. A few bush-sized nires low down in the forest. 20 November- Mostly clear; minimum 45. Eileen Lacey and John arrived, then Peg Smith on the plane. Picked up maybe

Pearson - 1993 11 two dozen owl pellets at the airport, this time under the pines west of the parking lot, south of the road. Peg reports some anti-foreign-collectors attitude in Uruguay, and lack of an adequate collection. 21 November- Bariloche. Mostly sunny. Drove up to the top of Cerro Otto with Anita and Peg, walked through the lenga forest. Big, overmature, lots of amancay plants and Chelemys sign in some spots; lots of dandelions in the meadow at Piedras Blancas. Saw a few condors. Then set traps at Las Victorias, 4.2 km E Bariloche. The habitat was clearly steppe with neneo, smartweed, Colletia, rosa mosqueta, cardon, a few Baccharis, and some bunchgrass but not a lot. Rather lush bushy steppe, with at least 80% ground cover. About 100 Shermans total: Peg 31 big Shermans, Anita 33 big Shermans, and I 10 small shermans and 21 big Shermans. Saw two dogs and no people in spite of its being Sunday and so close to town. 22 November- Bariloche. Clear, minimum 45. Picked up traps at 7 a.m. I had 2 Eligmo (in same trap) and 1 Oryzomys. Peg had 1 Eligmo; Anita had Ako longi under Colletia, 2 Aulisco, 1 Oryzomys, and 1 Ako xantho. Total 95 traps, 10 mice, 5 genera. Two photos of the habitat. Released the two longipilis and one Oryzomys. In the morning went out to the Centro Atomico with Adrian Monjeau to get liquid Nitrogen,which they make right there. Contact Sr. Scotti. Mane's exhibition of paintings in the afternoon. Then set traps at the Pampa Quemada 8 - 9:15 p.m. My line through the steppe, but, unlike last week, there were lots of open tuco burrows along my line. 23 November- Clear, minimum 50. Ran traps at Pampa Quemada at 8:15. My line of 14 Museum Specials, 10 small Shermans, and 20 large Shermans, many set at good open holes, had 1 Zonotrichia (MS), 1 Eligmodontia (large Sherman), and 1 Ako longi (large Sherman). Anita's 33 large Shermans had 1 Oryzomys, 3 Ako longi, and 2 Auliscomys (edge of green grassy meadow). Peg's 33 large Shermans had 3 Ako longi. Some of hers were around a rocky knoll. Total 110 traps, 11 mice. No olivaceus or xanthorhinus. At 11 a.m. I put 18 large and 4 small Shermans in pairs in the dense grassy meadow between Cerro Runge and the Faldeo, near where we had left the repeating traps. Dense grass, rosa mosqueta, bordering cipres forest, a few niress. Yesterday we picked up the repeating trap; it had been visited and probably occupied, but nothing was in it. This locality is near the Faldeo road, a few hundred meters west of the

Pearson - 1993 12 YPF filling station, across the road from the new water filtration plant (under construction). Locality called "meadow south of Cerro Runge, 3110 ft." Anita thought she heard a Ctenomys sociabilis at Pampa Quemada. At 5 pm the 22 meadow traps had 2 Abro longipilis (exported and released). Then we set 5 steel traps at "old" tuco burrows at Pampa Quemada. Then drove on to the meadow on the road to Colonia Suiza and at 7 p.m. set traps around the meadow and bushes. When we left at 9 p.m. (not yet dark) we already had caught 4 olivaceus. 24 November.- Clear; minimum 50. Nothing in the 5 tuco traps at Pampa Quemada; picked them up. At "road to Colonia Suiza, 15 km W Bariloche" as follows at 8 a.m.: Peg 35 large Shermans: 1 olivaceus, 3 Oryzomys, 1 longipilis. Anita: 28 Shermans and 11 Museum Specials, and 1 repeating trap: 1 juv. Auliscomys, 2 Oryzomys (1 in the repeater trap), 2 longipilis. OP: 6 large Shermans, 16 small shermans, 24 MS: 6 Oryzomys (5 of them from MS), 5 longipilis (3 of them from MS), Many of the Oryzomys were from under rosa mosqueta at the edge of green grass picnic areas. At 10 picked up the Cerro Runge 22 traps: 5 longipilis, 1 olivaceus, 1 Oryzomys. Two of the longipilis were at the site where the repeating trap had been, and they were babies, only about 15 grams. Totals: at Colonia Suiza: 124 traps, 21 mice. at Cerro Runge meadow: 22 traps- 7 mice. At 5:00 p.m.put 22 big Shermans and 22 Museum Specials alternating on the shoulder of Cerro Otto above the YPF and the new water plant. A lot of motorcycle trails in the dirt. The vegetation at the summit is rather steppe but mixed with amancay, cipres, mutisia, some minder's lettuce, radal. Considerable palo pichi, some Berberis, Colletia, Acaena, Adesmia. All day sunny, not windy. 25 November- Sunny, minimum 50. Traps on the shoulder of Cerro Otto had only 2 mice: one an Ako xantho clearly xantho, and one a short-tailed Eligmodontia. The xantho was under a cipres next to a Colletia. Then drove to 10 km south of Comallo. The mima mounds are covered with tall mustard in flower, so they are not at all impressive. The mustard does seem to prefer the mima mounds. I put 6 Mueum Specials along the road on a rocky slope. Also 15 big

Pearson - 1993 13 Shermans and 15 MS alternating across the mimas flats, many of the sets at cola de pichi plants, beginning up on the photo hill, then running across the mima flats through mustard, small seeding grases, etc. Then put 8 Shermans and 11 MS across the road and west of the pipeline; much mustard. Some Reithrodon droppings. Anita and Peg ran their traps between 7 and 9 p.m. and Anita had 1 Eligmodontia, 1 Ako xantho, and 1 big Phyllotis, all before dusk. 26 November- Night calm, clear, almost full moon, heavy frost on the windshield. Water trickling down the dry wash and disappearing just before camp. It disappeared later in the morning. Tucos called at least once between 10 p.m. and 3:15 a.m.; then a tuco called at 3:15, two of them at 5:45; and two of them a few times later in the morning. Traps as follows: Anita had 3 live Eligmo in Shermans and 3 Eligmo, 1 Ako xantho, 1 Reithrodon, and 1 wren in snap traps. Peg had 1 Ako sp. dead, 1 Phyllotis live, and 2 Eligmo alive. I had nothing in the 6 traps on the hillside, but in the other line 5 Akodon sp. and 1 live Reithrodon (young). Picked up the traps at about noon. Anita had 1 Ako xantho, 1 Eligmo, and 1 earth creeper. Diurnal Eligmo! Peg had nothing. I had nothing in the 6 hillside traps, but 5 Ako sp. in the the mustard and 1 more Reithro (young); all in snap traps. Note diurnal Reithrodon. The Akodon sp., mostly caught in the denser vegetation of the mimas area, are quite variable in size, frequently hispid, small ears, no white chin spot, and no rusty color on nose feet and tail. After skinning drove to Comallo, weather hot, Then west to the curve at the bottom of a grade, gate on the north side of the road and a dirt road off to the south. Drove back this road about a mile and camped. Three rheas in the mallin. This is still east of the Campode Fistuladas de INTA. A gaucho who came by after we had set up traps says that we are on Campo General Roca. Typical bunchgrass/neneo on the edge of a mallin (dry) with some juncus. 27 November- Almost full moon. Night started out clear, then miostly cloudy, then clear at dawn. No frost. The habitat here is typical of between the top of the Comallo grade and INTA: a mix of bunchgrass and neneo, with some Senecio, a few Adesmia, no Sapium, no Acaena, a few mat cacti in flower, but low species diversity. My line, which had skirted the dry mallin and then cimbed up the hill amid spiney bunch grass

Pearson - 1993 14 and neneo, alternated 23 shermans and 23 MS, then 15 more MS, was untouched, all baits intact. Peg had 3 lines with 23, 23, and 21 traps, some of them in fairly pure bunchgrass, and the rest in mixed bunchgrass and neneo. She caught nothing. Anita had set 27 Sherms, 22 MS, and 1 repeating trap: caught one Matuaste lizard. Heard tinamous. Broke camp and drove back to Bariloche. Sunny. Saw 3 rheas on the INTA campo, and a DOR pichi armadillo near the Rio Pichi Leufu. Saw only 4 or 5 squashed hares on the whole trip to Comallo and back to Bariloche. Skinned the survivors in the afternoon. Summary of this excursion to Comallo: The vegetation at 10 km S Comallo was much more diverse, fields of blooming mustard, diverse bushes, little grases a couple of inches tall with seedheads everywhere. The birds were more abundant and more diverse. The area had been severely hit by the long drought, but was now comparatively lush. The mustard continued west to the schoolhouse on the Rio Comallo, but none after you begin to climb the grade to the west. The diversity of bushes going up the grade is great, but once up top you are reduced to the bunchgrass/neneo mix. Could the mustard and such diversity account for the Akodon sp. reaching so far west? and could the sterile neneo steppe be the barrier that separates the long-tailed and short- tailed Eligmodontias? Adrian Monjeau had notable non-success trapping at the Campo de Fistuladas (INTA) only a few miles west of our Campo General Roca site. 28 November- Minimum 50. Drove to Pampa Linda and part way back the road to Castano Overo. Stopped at Sigfrido's_ on Lake Mascardi and asked him about where Julio Contreras's "Aforo" might have been. He knew (and jangled) with Julio. Julio spent a month or so right at the Campimento next door to Sigfrido, who was away at the time. He has no doubt that that was the type locality of Akodon mansoensis. We checked in with the Park Guard at Pampa Linda, Domingo Nunez, then drove back toward Castano Overo, but the road was worse than ever and we only went about halfway, then camped in the nire scrub and set out trap lines for olivaceous at 4 p.m. My line went along the edge of the marsh but ondry land in nire forest plus bamboo clumps, calafate (Berberis), lightly grazed grass and clover and dandelion. No retamo, no rosa, no retama. Anita and Peg's lines

Pearson - 1993 15 were in nire forest/scrub also, with lots of berberis clumps and cow trails. My line 21 Shermans and 21 Museum Specials alternating, then 15 more MS. Peg's line:30 Shermans and 30 MS, not alternating. Anita's line: 28 Shermans and 28 MS set in pairs. Peg and Anita checked much of their lines before dark, but nothing. 29 November- Cold rains and drizzle most of the night, and even snow/drizzle in the morning. Large puddles in the road, along the road, and at places in the forest. Picked up traps about 7:30 a.m. I had 1 Ako longi and 1 Auliscomys, both in Shermans. Many MS sprung by the rain. Peg had 4 mice in Shermans ( 1 Geoxus, 1 Ako olivaceus, 1 Ako longi, and 1 Auliscomys) and 3 in MS (2 Ako longi and 1 Ako olivaceus). Anita had 5 mice (in Shermans 1 Geoxus and 1 Auliscomys, and in MS 2 Ako longi and 1 Ako olivaceus). Skinned until noon, then got hopelessly stuck on the way out the road. With the help of the whole Chihuay family, a horse, three other helpers, and finally the Chihuay jeep, we got out. They accepted no payment. Weather cloudy. Then drove back to the west end of Lago Mascardi and camped back the road to a quarry, about 100 m from the Rio Manso Superior. This is perhaps 1/2 km west of Sigfrido's cabin and the Campimento Educativo. Lots of small fields of green grass and clover, much grazed. The habitat is nire forest opened up for grazing. Lots of patches of enormous Berberis calafate up to 10 feet tall and stems >2 inches in diameter,lots of retamo on Peg's and Anita's lines, lots of grazed clumps of bamboo, some rosa on Peg's and Anita's lines, bigpatches of lupine on my line near the river, all interlaced with cow trails. I put out 27 Shermans and 27 MS, alternating, near the river in old nire forest with bambo and Berberis, patches of lupine, grazed. Peg put ut 25 Shermans and 30 MS paired. Anita put out 28 Shermans and 28 MS paired. They checked part of ther lines before dark; nothing. 30 November- Drizzle and snow overnight, about 1/2 inch on car and bushes. Overcast. Picked up traps at 7 a.m. My line had 1 Ako longi and 1 olivaceus (in live traps). Peg had 1 Oryzomys and 2 olivaceus. Anita had 5 Ako olivaceus. So, all the olivaceus were nocturnal, and most squeaked when handled. Day mostly overcast. Drove to the cirque at the end of the road. Many big trees down along the road. Never did see the top of Tronador. Then home; drizzle or rain all the way.

Pearson - 1993 16 Altitudes on the way home: Tronador Cirque 3700 ft.; Pampa Linda 3120; Sigfrido's 2900; Apartment in Bariloche 2980. Real altitude of apartment is 2700 ft. 1 December- Bariloche. Rainy windy all day. Put out traps at Hipodromo, 12 km WNW Bariloche, at 6 pm. Drizzly. Nire, Schinus patagonica, Berberis, neneo, Acaena, Senecio, ground cover, Colletia, palo pichi, radal, chacay, a few prickly juniper, some bare sandy ground. Some traps right at the fence around the race track. I put 21 Shermans and 21 MS alternating, Anita put 28 Shermans, and Peg 25? Shermans. Rainbow, but then more drizzle. 2 December- Bariloche. Some rain during the night, enough to spring some MS. Morning drizzly, 48. Ran traps at 7:30 a.m. My line 2 mice in MS and 2 in Shermans. Total score: 1 Eligmodontia, 5 olivaceus, and 4 Oryzomys. Drizzly windy. Processed the catch in the morning. One female olivaceus with 6 embryos, another with 9; the Eligmodontia with 7 late fetuses; caught no longipilis. The olivaceus all looked pretty much straight olivaceus, not xanthorhinus. The marsh where we used to catch olivaceus is currently mostly a lake; it is only 1/2 km east of the Hipodromo. Drizzlyrainy all day. Eileen Lacey and John came by. They are using a shoelace as a noose to catch Ctenomys sociabilis; They have caught as many as 13 in a couple of hours. The same individual shows up 80m away across the entire colony, so they think that all the burrows connect. Reithrodon shares the same burrows. John says the type colony has died out, and he thinks severalother colonies have died as well. Ran the Hipodromo traps at 6:30 p.m. and put out more Museum Specials. I had one live olivaceus; nothing else. 3 December- Rain off and on during the night, and drizzle in the morning. Picked up traps at 7:30 a.m.: 74 Shermans and 89 MS=163. Caught 1 Eligmodontia dead, 5 Oryzomys dead, 2 olivaceus alive and 2 dead. Sun came out in mid-morning, then more rain. Put out traps at 5 p.m. at the western end of Las Victorias real estate development. We approached it from the road back to the big electrical transformer station, but exited through the main "boulevard" of Las Victorias. These traps are probably 1/2 km west of our previous Las Victorias traps. I put 25 Shermans and 32 MS. Anita put 28 pairs (Shermans and MS), and Peg put 23 Shermans and 23 MS. Cool, windy, some sprinkles. The vegetation is very rich, diverse bushy steppe with more bunchgrass than our previous

Pearson - 1993 21 Bamboo species account 1 November.- Llaio Llaio. Clump B2 at the trail crossroads looks old and decrepid, the few yearling culms are skinny, there are many more dead shhots than yearlings, Only one new shoot seen. It was up only an inch or two, but it is still early in the season. There are many green culms of small diameter, truncated at between 8 and 20 inches above ground.. Clump B1, the one squashed by a fallen limb >1<2 years ago, is still chaotic, but a lot of tall fat yearlings tower above the wreckage. One big old marked culm was bent into a complete arc, the top buried in the tangle, yet it appeared to be alive and healthy. 2 November.- Cerro Otto. The upper bamboo clump (A2) had 30 dead shoots and 43 yearling culms. Tagged them, but did not measure them. Several of the yearlings had dead tops but >1 m tall. The lower clump (A1), which has been decrepid for years, had 15 yearling culms and 0 dead shoots. The moths don't find it out here in the open? 5 November- Aguas Calientes. See journal. 7 November- La Veranada. The two bamboo clumps are undisturbed. E3 had 88 dead shoots (removed them), 53 yearlings (tagged them, and 52 2-yr-olds (marked them 91-92 with marking pen). E2 had 10 dead shoots (removed them), 14 yearlings (marked them '92-'93 with marking pen), and 13 2-yr-olds (marked them '91-'92 with marking pen). 16-November- Llaio Llaio. Marked yearlings ('92-'93) and 2- yr-olds ('91-'92) at our study clump at the crossroads. Removed 42 dead shoots, almost all of them parasitized. Marked 5 surviving yearlings, rather skinny, and marked 23 2-yr-olds. There were a number of new shoots coming up, the tallest about 6 inches. What poor survival last summer: 5 culms out of 47 (unless some of the 47 were still left over from 2 years ago) 16 December- Puerto Blest. At our marked clump, one tall culm that was completely dead at the top had some new green flowers and some old dried flowers coming out of the same node. Removed 3 old dead shoots, two of them almost 1 m tall and hard at the base. There were 6 new shoots, 4 yearlings of the '92-'93 cohort, and 3 of the '91-'92 cohort. Marked them. The other marked clump had 0 dead shoots, 3 new shoots, 4 yearlings of the '92-'93 cohort, and 7 of

Pearson - 1993 22 the '01-'92 cohort. Marked them. Then counted flowering clumps along the road from El Abuelo to the camping meadow. 5 on the west side of the road and 3 on the east. Something like half of them had dried up flower heads as well as green flower heads, including some with anthers hanging out.

Pearson - 1993 23 Akodon olivaceus 10 November.- 15 km W Bariloche (Colonia Suiza Road). Caught 7 at edge of grassy meadow (Berberis, rosa mosqueta, radal, nire, Mutisia, etc.). All were adults, all looked like good olivaceus, no yellow feet, tails of the four that were put up were 70,72,72,75. Only one was a female, vagina open, not lactating. Put her in a cage by herself, and put 2 of the males in a cage together, They sparred but soon snuggled together. Ate apple, but ignored cheese, green grass, clover. A couple of them squeeked when handled, but did not bite. 15 November- The two males have been living amicably. Not very interested in cat food; ate some carrot, lots of apple. Took the two males, 8053 and 8055, up to Ecotono and put them into cages with their two isolated female xanthorhinus. They seemed interested in eachother, no fighting or even sparring while we were watching. Karin and Nadia say that the number of xantho on their grid this year is much higher than two years ago, and that there is more bunchgrass and more rosa than before. They have never caught Phyllotis on their grid. 20 November- The captive female 8052 seems content but no litter yet. She eats lots of apple when she has no water, but very little when she has water. Yesterday gave her dandelions, Calceolaria blossoms, and green grass seedheads. She ate all of the dandelion flowers but seems not to have touched the rest. Ate rolled oats. 22 November- Put a newly caught Ako xantho in breeding condition in with captive female olivaceus 8052. They sparred at first, then became more friendly but never relaxed, even when in contact. The female olivaceus was much larger, longer tailed, and more aggressive. Preserved them both as specimens. She had resorbed embryos. Anita's xantho caught at Las Victorias, was cought next to the road in thick bunchgrass, but lots of bushes around, such as neneo. 2 December- A sample of 5 from Hipodromo look mostly like olivaceus. Two females with 6 and 9 embryos. Most of them squeak when handled.

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

Pearson - 1993 19 Mariana Losada about her mouse behavior project. Then went up to the knoll of Cerro Otto south of the YPF gas station at the beginning of the Faldeo. This is the place where we caught a good xanthorhinus and an Eligmodontia, and only a few hundred yards from where we caught olivaceus in the Cerro Runge meadow; Altitudes were: Apartment 2790; car 2820, YPF Meadow 3110; the knoll on the flank of Cerro Otto 3440 (where the xantho was caught). Took black and white photo of the trap site: cipres, Colletia, maiten, green orchid, cardon (= Eryngium panicultum), Berberis, Rumex, very little bunchgrass or other grass, Nearby but not in the photo were Acaena, neneo, Adesmia, Mutisia. 13 December- Drizzle off and on all day, mixed with sun. At Ecotono saw a reprint: Rabassa, J., 1974. Geologia de la region de Pilcanihue-Comallo. Fundacion Brilocha, Dpto. de Recursos Naturales y Energia, Publ.No. 17, 128pp. Clara Bosch and Adrian came by, Clara with a note from Ricardo Ameijeiras about mice frozen in a glacier. 14 December - Bariloche. Clear, not windy. Drove out to km 6.7 to see Ricardo Ameijeiras. He had read about the mice frozen in the Esperanza glacier, but had no further information. He had been to Termas de Puyehue last April 15 for 3 days and told about dozens of mice running across the road at night, but they avoided being squashed. He had a young Chusquea colihue plant in his garden, which he had transplanted 1 1/2 years ago. Almost half of its culms were tall thin 1-yr- olds. At 5:30 drove down the Limay Valley to the first two caves up the Traful Valley. At the first little cave alongside the road at the first curve, we set 3 cage traps and 8 Shermans. There were mouse footprints on the sand in the cave and in the sand outside. Some traps within the cave, and some outside but only a few meters away. Also set 3 cage traps and 9 Shermans at the entrance and close to the entrance of Cueva Traful. At one set was a pile of cut stemswith blossoms of Colletia, in front of a hole under the cliff. Camped across the Traful River in the pine/cedar grove. Windy, overcast in the evening, but night clear. 15 December- Bariloche. Morning clear, sunny. The traps at the little cave by the road had one Abrothrix longipilis in a cage trap IN the cave. At Cueva Traful there was 1 big Phyllotis in a Sherman and 1 big Auliscomys in a cage trap. The Auliscomys was trap-

Pearson - 1993 20 weary in the cage trap; when we released him he just sat there, surrounded by rolled oats. We offered him a green grass seed-spike; he ate it. We offered him a Colletia branch with flowers and seed pods; he ate a seed pod. We offered him a Berberis branch with ripe blue berries on it. He immediately attacked one berry, didnt seem to like the skin, but soon ate all of the berry and two more. Also ate some rolled oats. On the way home stopped along the Limay at Arroyo Carbon across from a big gravel quarry. Up on the slope west of the highway are some Lombardy poplars at an old homesite (cherry tree and an apple tree). Three different little streams come down the slope there. Also a nice green seep, but no signs of Ctenomys sociablisii or Reithrodon. Saw horse tracks, a few cow tracks, and a few red deer tracks. Also picked up a big armadillo skull. This is upstream from La Lipela. Along the highway 3.0 km north of the driveway and gate into Estancia Fortin Chacabuco are populations of Ctenomys sociabilis on both sides of the road. This is a road cut with banks on either side of the road, quite similar to the siutation a couple of km farther north (10km N Nahuel Huapi). We didnt hear any tucos, but open burrows were abundant. There is a white gate on the east side of the highway with a track going back toward the distant river, and a small Maiten tree on the west side of the highway. Home at noon. Adios to Adrian. Tea with Bettinellis. He is working on paintings for the interpretation center at Puerto Blest. 16 December- Clear, warm. Went to Puerto Blest on the same boat with Carlos Martin, Eduardo Ramilo, and the unctuous concessionaire. Checked our two bambooo clumps, and censused flowering plants on the road to El Abelo. See bamboo species account.Saw yellow jackets in the forest there. Lots of Scotch broom along the road to Frias. The hotel is being enlarged and the roof repaired. Back at 6 p.m. 17 December- Sunny, warm, no wind. To the owl cliffs at Estancia Tehuel Malal in the morning. Collected a couple of dozen pellets, saw no owl.

Pearson - 1994 1 Journal - 1994 October 27- Arrived Buenos Aires about 8 a.m. and at the airport turned over the loan material (skulls of Caluromys and Auliscomys to Ulyses Pardinias. Arrived Bariloche about 4 pm. Our pilot circled over the Lake;there seemed to be lots of snow. Steppe still brown, some green in the better mallines; saw no sheep. Weather clear, sunny, balmy. Narcissus blooming in town, apple and cherry tees, some tulips. October 28- Sunny, warm in Bariloche. Wrestled with getting the car started: battery down and bad contact somewhere, plus overcharging. Saw Clara Bosch and Cacho Carranza. All agree that it was a rainy winter but that there was not enough snow for the ski season. Most of the snow came too late, and there really wasn't very much. La Rivierre is once again head of Parques, and Arturo Tarak is running things; also one of the Canevaris. Maurice Rumboll has been hired as some sort of special agent, and may be living in Buenos Aires instead of in Cordoba. Carlos Romero former parkgard, is now a Parguard in Canada. October 29- All morning buying new battery, locating bad circuit near the battery terminal, and correcting an overcharging problem. Met David Pruden at the car electricista's. He is discouraged with the economy and the tourist industry. No snow for the skiers, who have money, and too many student tourists who scare away the other tourists and dont spend any money. Hilda Rumboll has died. He and everybody else knows about the dead quila bamboo on the road to Chile, but no news of any blooming cana coligue. In the afternoon went out to Llao Llao Peninsula. Our bamboo clump that was squashed by the fallen limb is thriving among the ruins. The clump at the crossroads of the trails has a lot of dead skinny canes, some or many of them probably already dead when we first marked the clump. Last year's shoot production was poor, like the year before. Nine surviving yearlings, 30 dead shoots, almost all of them clearly killed by insects. Marked with orange tape 4 dead shoots in an adjacent clump to see if they will be recognizable and countable next year. Saw no new shoots anywhere. Chuaos and whet-whets, but not

Pearson - 1994 2 much else. The grassy clearing between the two marked clumps is still open, the big rosa mosqueta bush still vigorous. One can still see the dead remains of rosa bushes in the dense bamboo nearby. These were surely choked out by the bamboo at least 10 or 15 years ago. The carriage trails that have been kept open are now tunnels through the bamboo. The bamboo hangs over them, but has not invaded the right-of-way Even those trails abandoned have not been invaded by bamboo. Around the clearing, several young dombeyi have escaped above the bamboo. Stopped at Arroyo Casa de Piedras to clean the car. Pampa Quemada (behind the Centro Atomico) is recovering rapidly from last year's fire. There was more bamboo in there than we had realized; it has new green culms and slender yearling culms, but seems to have been heavily grazed. November 30-- Clear, sunny, warm. Drove to La Veranada and visited the two marked bamboo clumps (E2 and E3). The nire at our study area was not at all out yet, but the lenga west of the road was fresh green. Lots of somewhat old tuco mounds, and saw no tuco earth cores, but tucos are surely present. Lots of dandelions in bloom. Saw few birds. The Parkguard house at the horse pasture seemed to be occupied, but we couldnt rouse anyone. Continuing thoughts about the nire forest at La Veranada. Almost all the trees are clumps, which supports the notion that it burned and root-sprouted 40 or 50 years ago. Futhermore, almost all the nire clumps are elevated a foot or two above the ground level between clumps, and many if not most are closely associated with bamboo. And many have tuco diggings around the base. Perhaps the post-fire bamboo protected the young nire sprouts? Or the charred nire trunks protected the bamboo? Picnicked at the study area; balmy, no wind. Nice pair of wigeon at the marsh/meadow just north of the study area. Then drove down the hill to the meadow at the north end of Lago Guillermo. Here again the nire clumps are elevated, frequently associated with bamoo or with Berberis. And tucos may be present at any combination including dead nire and Berberis. Did not pass any snow all day. October 31- Bariloche. Morning overcast, temp 52. Max-min

Went out to the Pampa Quemada in the afternoon and photoed the surviving vegetation. See bamboo species account. To Jorge Vallerini and Patricia Fierro for dinner. Mary Taylor and the Cleveland Museum group have cancelled their Patagonian/Chilean tour. November 1-Visited the bamboo clumps up on Cerro Otto. No snow anywhere, lenga leaves are out, no "pavement' of wet lenga leaves as in other years. Lots of tuco sign but saw only one earth core, so there probably wasnt much snow. Still lots of lenga branches lying around, broken off last year by a late wet snow. No signs of grazing. Met a young Frenchman near where we park our car; Pascual, who is studying "growth" of the the three species of Nothofagus and other plants. Weather sunny and balmy until mid-afternoon, then it clouded up. Met young Bechis, the photographer, in the post office; he is doing a book on Argentina. November 2- Bariloche. Overcast in morning, then sunny and warm. Went up to Ecotono and saw Joanna and Werner Flueck. They are helping INTA with a study of diet of red deer, not doing much with huemuls. Then talked with Barbara Rapoport. Eddy busy giving the "invasions" course. Gabriel Rapoport came in. He reported finding a rat carcass frozen in a glacier, which he brought in to Ecotono. Walking back home we saw Adrian Monjeau, who will be going to the mammsl Society meetings in Cordoba. To a Preloran documentary in the evening, on the History of Patagonia; the seventh of his series on Patagonia. Adam Hajduk was there. November 3- Bariloche. Morning overcast, temp 44, drizzly. Went out to Pampa Quemada and searched for an unburned clump of bamboo, which we then chopped off to see whether the regrowth imitates the regrowth of the burned clumps. Fluecks came for dinner. Werner is still puttering with red deer, hoping to get a grant from Germany to study huemuls. Conrad Bailey has built a casco for the Italians who bought the upper portion of Estancia Fortin Chacabuco for deer shooting. The Peace Corp has closed up in Argentina.

Pearson - 1994 4 November 4- Drizzly and cold most of the day (below 50). Eileen Lacey came by. She wants to get some Ctenomys maulinus to compare with her sociabilis and haigii. November 5- Left Bariloche about 11 a,m, for Cordoba. Yesterday's cold rain brought snow to Cerro Villegas etc. Lunch along the Alicura Reservoir and siesta mear Piedra de Aquila; Only one squashed hare on the road, very few sheep, cattle, or horses. Larrea from about [illegible] de Aquila to Neuquen. Some salmon culture rafts in the Alicura Reservoir. Slept in an informal dump a few miles north of Neuquen. November 6- Heard tinamous in the morning at our campsite. Drove north to 25 de Mayo, then good new paved road north toward Santa Isabel. Larrea all the way, but lots of diversity and many species in bloom. After about 4 hours the paving gave out, then unpaved for about an hour more to Santa Isabel. Saw no squashed hares on this stretch, two live martinetta tinaous, but almost no habitations, almost no livestock of any kind. This has gotta be one of the loneliest stretches of road in Argentina. We passed only a dozen cars. We stopped at one microwave tower and found a dead fio fio under the wires, guinea pig sign under thorn bushes, and lots of tuco sign. Late lunch in Santa Isabel, then half-paved half unpaved to General Alvear. One more martinetta along the road, a few chacras, but almost no livestock; then grapes and fruit as you approach General Alvear, where we arrived about 6 p.m. The sidewalks in the evening (Sunday) are crowded with young people, young couples with a baby, grandparents, and cruising the main. Balmy temperature. November 7- Flat tire in morning. Left General Alvear about 10:30 for Monte Coman, then to San Luis. Road straight, well-paved for several hours, much Larrea but quite diverse and everythig blooming, then stretches of road under repair or detour. No traffic, only a dozen cars in 4 or 5 hours of travel. Saw a hare dropping at one stop north of Monte Coman, and three more tinamous. We see no guinea pigs, but some droppings. Ice cream in San Luis, then north toward Villa Dolores. Three more tinamous along the road. Not a squashed hare since Rio Negro. one squashed snake, ringed black, red, and yellow, about 2.5 ft.

Pearson - 1994 5 long. Stopped for the night a couple of hours north of San Luis, in Algarrobo scrub. Sky completely clear overhead, but a few thunderheads over the Coridllera to the east, Continuous lightning to the south toward San Luis. November 8- Clouded up during the night and the lightning, still continuous, got close. We broke camp at 5 am. Saw one mouse on the road (Calomys or Eligmodontia), and at daybreak, about 3 or 4 tinamous, probably two species. Then climbed over the Sierra from Villa Dolores to General, Paz, across the Pampa de Achala. There was lots of grassy habitat up high, much more than I had remembered from our visit with Jaime Polop; a little bit of recent snow, probably this morning or last night. Arrived at Villa Hermoso/ Las Vaquerias about 3 pm and went for a walk thorough scrubby habitat that seemed quite tropical compared with Patagonia. Jaime Polop and his crew arrived just as we got back from our walk. November 9-11 - Vaquerias; SAREM meetings. There were about 160 registrants. Membership is up from about 40 last year to well over 100 currently. Barquez, Ojeda, Polop, Roig, Merani, Caviedes Sr., Monjeau, and Kravetz were prominent. Vitullo was outstanding in his presentations (as last year). Lots of posters of good quality. Volume 1 Number 2 of Mastozoologia Neotropical was distributed. Luz Gonzales from Valdivia has a breeding colony of Akodon olivaceus and says that she has something like six records of the birth of successive litters without any insemination between litters! There was some discussion of the low quality of the collections in Argentina. Several people agreed that Massoia was off his rocker. No one seems to be thinking in terms of buying his collection for the Buenos Aires or other museum. Susana Merani criticized me and other foreigners for taking specimens out of the country. I told her that I had left hundreds of specimens in various institutions in Argentina and that virtually all of them had just disappeared. This exchange with Merani got me to thinking about what impact I have had on MVZ-style collecting in Argentina. Of the various students that I have had contact with over the past 25 years, not

Pearson - 1994 6 one has become an avid collector of mammals. With the possible exception of Julio Contreras, I doubt that a single one of them has prepared 50 specimens. The animals are available, the materials are available in every hardware store and drug store, yet none has been willing to sit down and prepare an appreciable number of skins. Does the role of itinerant taxidermist not appeal? Do they realize that the museums are are not safe repositories? Maybe Joe Gorman was right. Julio Contreras may have prepared 50 mammal specimens, although his "slave" Yolanda may have done most of the preparing, and Julio is now into birds rather than mammals. One of my students is Curator of Mamals at the National Museum, but I doubt that she has prepared a skin and skull in years. Another student has helped the Minnesota group to collect, but the minute they are gone he stops preparing specimens. The conclusion seems to be that if left to themselves, the Argentines will never get to know their own fauna. Although attracted to the newer techniques such as kayotypes, enzymes, and DNA, where will the voucher specimens be? November 12- Left Vaquerias 7:30 a.m. and drove to Los Cocos and had breakfast with Maurice and Diane Rumboll and their three kids. Short walk with Maurice to see some Quebracho Colorado trees nearby. Dropped one of their sons off at a birthday party at 2 p.m., then headed south and camped for the night along the Rio Tercero just below the Dique near the town of Rio Tercero. We were in a city park with picnic benches under big groves of Chinese elm, mulberry, etc. Very pleasant. Saw one big lizard (Tupinambus) squashed on the road, and another basking nearby. November 13- Left Rio Tercero about 7 a.m. headed south. Saw a live huron on the shoulder of the road near Alcira, and two batches of rheas (4 and 2 individuals) between Mercedes and Buena Esperanza, in agricultural plowed fields. I was impressed with how lush and how agriculture the route is between Cordoba and Buena Esperanza, and then south and east toward General Alvear. Alfalfa, grain, corn, and lots of cattle. They have removed the thorn scrub, and apparenty crops do well. Enormous fields. Saw another batch of 7 rheas along the Fortuna - General Alvear Road; they wee in grazed but not plowed grass and thorn scrub; A small area of what may be mima monds on this road

Pearson - 1994 7 a little west of the Bagual turnoff (km 611). The mounds are 1 to 2 m high, and maybe 25 m across, in grassland, with sheep, but not plowed. There were old tuco diggings on the road shoulder, but I could see none on the mounds , which were beyond the fence. Also, I could detect no hardpan or rocky layer within the top 2 or 3 feet. Lunched back a side road with Lagostomus burrows, possibly active. Camped back a side road a few km west of Union (Km 644). Mostly grass and weeds, only a few thorn trees, not plowed. We seem to have gotten out of the cultivated area. Looks like Custer's-Last-Stand country. The road from Mercedes to Buena Esperanza is farmed but empty. Must be 4 hours with no gas station, no store. Then 3 or 4 hours more to the next town. Anita put out 10 Shermans in grassy weedy habitat along a fence, and I put out 12 in similar habitat; fairly dense cover. November 14- Clouded up in early morning, then lightning. Nothing in traps. Then rain just after we got onto the road. A suashed Pichiy armadillo at Km 660. At the Rio Salado (Mendoza- San Luis border) the vegetation changes abruptly from Custer open country to scrub (Larrea, cactus, bushes with woolley caterpillars), but then becomes vinyards etc from General Alvear to San Rafael. Lunch in San Rafael, then out to the Museum in the afternoon where we visited with Humberto Lagiglia, Gustavo Neme, and another man (Adolfo Gil?). Neme wants his specimens returned after I have finished identifying them. Julio Betancourt had participated in a Curso and Symposium in September-early October, with papers on amberat etc. A Jorge Fernandez gave two reports on radiocarbon chronology etc. of Octodontomys, which Liz Barnosky might be interested in. They are a packrat analog. I think Lagiglia does not have a reprint of Christie and my paper on amberat; send him one. He loaded us with reprints from his Museum. They had a copy of the publication containing Pearson and Pearson on the small-mammal fauna of Cueva Traful and offered to xerox it for us, but Pardinas reports that he is sending us a copy. It is in Volume 1 Number 1 of Palaeohistoria.

Pearson - 1994 8 Then drove south, part of the road great but about an hour of detour through thick dust. Saw 5 crested tinamous. Camped in mixed Larrea about 10 km south of El Sosneado. Saw one hare at campsite. November 15- Drove up the valley to Las Lenas. Lots of goats below the ski resort. The road was blocked by snow at 6 km above the main ski lodge, at about the same point where it was blocked at our last visit several years ago. Most of the habitat is dry rocky slopes with thorn bushes (Mulinum, Berberis, Azorella, yellowbark bushes with heavy spines, brownbark bushes with slender spines, Ephedra. Hare droppings. A few seeps have big clumps of a very spiny bunchgrass plus big heads of Azorella and some ?Distichia?. About midday I set 7 steel traps, 18 Shermans, and 4 Museum Specials, mostly in indistinct runways between the big green bunchgrass, hoping for Euneomys mordax. Saw no droppings or other sign, but about three burrow openings. Anita set 28 Shermans, 26 Museum Specials, and 3 steel jump traps, all on dry stoney hillside. She saw some pale, coarse, rice crispie Euneomys droppings, about the right size for E. chinchilloides. Later in the afternoon (4:30) we found a seep with big Azorella heads amid the spiny bunchgrass and with fresh-looking holes under the yareta and with big Euneomys-style droppings; even an "earth" core made up entirely of dead stems of yareta, apparently hollowed out of the inside of a big head of yareta and pushed into a runway in the snow. One big head of yareta had a mouse hole chewed through the top of the dome. We set 3 steel traps and 6 Museum Specials. I forgot that we had some cage traps in the car. Ran my traps at 6 p.m.: 1 lizard, 2 Abrothrix longipilis under scrub bushes. Anita had 1 lizard, 1 Auliscomys, and 1 Abrothrix. November 16- Night cold but not freezing. My traps in the morning had a male and a female Abrothrix longipilis, a male Auliscomys, and a male Chelemys. Anita had 6 male Abrothrix, 1 female Abrothrix, and 3 Chelemys. The "mordax" line in the yareta had 1 Abrothrix and several sprung and dragged Museum Specials. Female Abrothrix were pregnant and one Abrothrix was only about 20g. The Chelemys were pregnant also, and both male Auliscomys were breeding. These mice could not

Pearson - 1994 9 have been long out from under the snow. Altitude at camp was 4900 ft., 700 ft.higher than Las Lenas. Drove down the valley to near Los Molles to skin and lunch. Then south on Ruta 40 to Malargue and Bardas Blancas. Slept in diverse Larrea scrub near the Rio Grande overlooking oil wells across the Valley. November 17-Through the lava beds where the Rio Grande squeezes through a narrow lava channel to Chos Malal. Hunted for tuco sign along Ruta 43 (in the direction of Andacolla), including in dunes (not very sandy) along the Rio Neuquen. Two different paisanos said there were lots of tucos "in the campo" and waved their arms toward the hills, but we saw no sign of tem. It was obvious that the Rio Neuquen, at least, had seen a lot of high water that would have flooded tucos out of low-lying dunes. Spent the night in Chos Malal. November 18- Went to the Museum in Chos Malal, but it was all historical, not at all biological. From the watchtower above the museum, one can see the dune area between the two rivers (type locality of Ctenomys); agriculture is encroaching on it, and most is subject to flooding when the rivers rise. Also looked at some dunes near the bridge across the Rio Neuquen, but no tuco sign, only guinea pig. Then drove to Zapala, much of the way unfenced, then stopped for the night in scrub a couple of km west of Ruta 40 on Ruta 66 to Las Coloradas. November 19- Morning clear, heavy dew. Three gauchos and a herd of whiteface novillos went past camp about 7 a.m. Bushy steppe habitat with scattered mallines looks very overgrazed. Lots of cola de pichi, but a diversity of Azorella, Senecio, Mulinum, duraznillo, Larrea, thornbush, etc. Left about 7:30 a.m. for Junin de los Andes. Several dead hares on the road. We looked up Susan Walker, Andres Novaro, and Carlos Rambeaud at the Centro de Ecologia Aplicada, which is along the Rio Chimehuin a few km outside of town. Susan and Andres are working with Lyn Branch, she on Lagidium and he on foxes. He has lots of radio- collared foxes, she has been locating colonies of Lagidium but doesnt seem to have a real plan of action yet. Rambeaud is the the son of the man at Las Coloradas who collected the foxes for Crespo. I think

Pearson - 1994 10 the son is helping Andres. Novaro says that European rabbits arrived at Junin de los Andes about 2 years ago, that the authorities have been using myxo on them for years farther north, and that hares have been in reduced numbers in recent years. We saw 3 or 4 dead hares? on the road this morning between our campsite and Junin de los Andes. The Centro is supported mostly by Japanese who are interested in trout. Walker and Novaro and baby are leaving for Gainesville in a few days. Novaro knows everybody. Lunch in San Martin de los Andes, then back to Bariloche via Villa Angostura. The road from San Martin to Villa Angostura was miserable; with a half-inch of rain it would be impassable. At a rest stop in the forest we found piles of cut-and-stripped bamboo that seem to have been cut last year and then abandoned. The roadbed that was bulldozed through the pumice years ago still has not been invaded by bamboo or Nothofagus. Summary of the drive from Bariloche to Cordoba and return: There is a lot of Larrea between here and there, but much of the desert is diverse, with a half-dozen kinds of bushes, numerous wildflowers; many of the bushes and herbs in bloom. We saw only one squashed hare in the road on the way north, and that was the first day, yet hare droppings were common at most of our campsites. We saw maybe 5 squashed hares the last day in the vicinity of La Rinconada-Junin de los Andes. We saw guinea pig droppings at many of our stops, but saw only one guinea pig. There were many long stretches of newly paved road, but always an unfinished section or a stretch of detour, and very little traffic, maybe two cars per hour. Gasoline very expensive: U$$ 30 for 10 gallons; oil U$$ 8 per quart. Heard tinamous at most of our campsites. November 20- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. November 21- Bariloche. Michael Christie came by. He and Eileen Lacey have been off collecting tucos at places such as San Martin de Los Andes, but apparently without much success. He brought some owl pellets from Marful's (1 km W of the lake at Los Juncos), and skins and skeletons of some tuco tucos. Noveber 22- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Michael Christie came

Pearson - 1994 11 by again. SNAP seems to have converted itself into an environmental consulting organizaton, currently doing a study for Parques Nacionales; Miguel Gross, Gustavo Iglesias, and a third person doing the work. Gallopin apparently is going to stay another 2 years in Colombia. November 23- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Tea wth Ghisela, then Michael. November 24- Sunny and windy. Drove out to Marful's and Laguna de los Juncos. Marful's meadow had almost no Reithrodon sign in it. The habitat along the railroad track and fences was lush, ungrazed except by hares, and had some Reithrodon droppings and runways but not as many as during our study. The lake had lots of water, coots, grebes, black-necked swans, a few ducks. The carancho nest had young in it. Saw no condors. Dinner with Jorge and Patricia Vallerini. November 25-Bariloche, sunny and warm. Did owl pellets from Marful's. Lunch with Werner and Joanne Flueck. They get enormous numbers of red-deer pellets in their pellet counts across the lake at Jones' or Tehuel Malal or Fortin Chacabuco. November 26- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. At midday went out to Pampa Quemada to look at the clump of unburned bamboo that we cut all the live culms off of. There were thee new shoots coming up, 6 to 8 inches tall; nothing else. Then drove up to Cerro Catedral and picnicked about a half-mile up the trail to Refugio Frey. Several places along the trail with busy-looking burrows of ?Chelemys?, Amancay lily plants nearby. Lots of bamboo but none blooming. Saw Abel Basti on the street; he is still writing for Manana del Sur. Interested in the kiddie-vehicle concession out at Estacion Perito Moreno (Laguna de los Juncos). November 27- Bariloche. Cloudy and drizzly most of the day. November 28- Bariloche Partially cloudy and windy. Alberto Sosa came by, and we took him for a picnic on top of Cerro Otto. No snow in spite of yesterday's rain in Bariloche. There is some not-very-fresh tuco activity at the top. November 29- Bariloche. Drizzle off and on all day. Went to Parques in the morning and talked with Chehebar and Ramilo.

Pearson - 1994 Buenos Aires to capture and take home live sociabilis. Parques has printed up an impressive folder of reserch "sponsored" by them, entitled:"La Investigacion en los Parques Nacionales Patagonicus, Una gacetilla informativa para la comunidad cientifica." It includes also a list of projects that they would like to see pursued, which includes completion of the inventory of biodiversity in areas still not completed, such as, for mammals, Laguna Blanca, Los Alerces, Puelo, Perito Moreno, Los Glaciares, Bosques Petrificados, and "Tierra delFuego". They list mammal species for which they are interested in evaluations of abundance. These are species of special value (endemics, vulnerable, unique, or threatened), or whose status of conservation and abundnce is insufficiently known: Lagidium wolffsohni, Octodon bridgesi, Dromiciops, Ctenomys sociablilis, Hippocamelus bisulcus, Pudu, Lutra provocax, Lutra felina, Felis guigna. Visited Michael Chrstie at his house. He was working on his marked lizards. He says a Parkguard found a tuco skull at Paso Cordoba, but Michael has not seen diggings there. He and Eileen found diggings near Lago Lolog, and between there and San Martin de los Andes. Adam Hajduk came by to report that Silveira had sent us a copy of the Cueva Traful book. Adam found a collection of severed tuco skulls in an archeological dig at Arroyo Corral on Estancia La Longha. He might be able to find them for us to examine. He described the role of glass beads in the dating of archeological digs. November 30- Bariloche- Overcast. Went to Ecotono and talked with Rapoport; he wants citation for maximum species diversity of mammals in a local hectare. Then talked with Adrian Monjeau's three students, who are writing up their study on the trapping grid near the airport. Populations this year are very low; the trend has been more Abrothrix longipilis and less Eligmodontia, which correlates with an increase in the amount of cover and bushes. Then lunch with Alberto Sosa, and then to Chalhuaco with him. One bridge almost impassable, lots or Ourissia in bloom, no amancay yet but lots of amancay plants Some sign of Chelemys, but no earth

Then Adrian came by with a student (Bunge) who is planning to work on chromosomes and electrophoresis of populations of Chelemys and Geoxus with Milton Gallardo. I think they are interested in how isolated genetically are the populations on mountain tops. December 1- Bariloche. Drizzly and cloudy. Went to Parques and got my permit to collect some Ctenomys maulinus. They now require that half the specimens be deposited in Argentine collections once the data are processed. Then to the University to meet with Nora Ibarguengoytia's thesis committee. Her thesis: Reproductive biology of Liolaemus pictus. Her committee, me, Felipe Valverde, and Carmen Ubeda. Met a student there who is doing an owl pellet project on pellets from the Airport. She thinks they are from Bubo because she found a dead Bubo there. Helped her identify some of the material; she is using my key. December 2- Bariloche. Drizzle off and on. Long conference with Valverde, Ubeda, and Nora concerning her thesis. There seemed to be no question about it being satisfactory, but numerous suggestions for improvement. Also a visit from Michael Christie and from Noel and Andy Wesley. A letter from Ulyses Pardinas indicates that the specimen of Pearsonomys from Argentina is from Laguna Verde in Neuquen, does not have long claws, and was collected by Verzi and Alcover while they were collecting Octodon. I think it must be Abro sanborni. December 3- Bariloche. Mostly clear, but drizzle in evening. Mate with Abel, Lis, and children. He is in a new house, still under construction, in the Jardin Botanico (Topa Topa), with an arroyo, in the back yard with bamboo clumps along it, big cipres trees, maitenes. Then to Noel and Andy Wesley for dinner. One of Lorenzo Simpson's owls lives in the chimney at La Primavera. He had an aguila mora (Geranoaetus) that he raised from a nestling and it became completely tame, would perch on the roof of the house, come to be fed, etc. Then disappeared. December 4- Bariloche. Cool and cloudy all day. Went out to Eileen Lacey's study area 10 km N of the outlet of Lago Nahuel Huapi. She and John were intent on noosing a couple of the unmarked tucos in the colony

Pearson - 1994 14 under study. Horses and mules on their study area, a lone guanaco on their side of the road nearer the lake, but they say they have seen it on their area. Their area is not heavily grazed. Saw three hares there, lots of Reithrodon droppngs. John has seen a tuco and a Reithrodon appear at the mouth of the same burrow. They say they hear lots of vocalizing, but we heard none. Things were slow, perhaps because it was cool and cloudy. Picked up five hawk/owl pellets under the cliffs behind their campsite: two of them nothing but rabbit fur, one with rabbit fur and an adult hare palate with teeth, one with one Abrothrix longipilis, and one with one Abrothrix xanthorhinus. December 5- Bariloche. Partly cloudy. Dinner with Rapoports and Monjeaus. December 6- Stopped at Estancia Primavera to see Lorenzo Sympson about owl pellets. He has only a few from Bubo, lots from Tyto, but they aren't ready to turn over to me yet; they need labelling! He says things at Primavera are lush and green this spring, the river quite high, too high for good fishing except at a few places. Then drove to Paso Cordoba, road OK. Altimeter read 4400 ft at the pass, was 2750 at Bariloche. We saw no tuco sign along the road, nor at the pass, but when we got out of the car and walked through the scrub, there were lots of old weathered diggings. Set 11 steel traps in good tunnels 2-3 p.m. to the left of the road right at the summit. The most active places seemed to be at Adesmia bushes. The commonest plants were Acaena, Adesmia, neneo, bunchgrass, Rumex, and Senecio ; 80% ground cover. Light soil, some stones. Then set 2 more at 4 p.m. on the right side of the road. Heard no vocalizations. There is some bamboo in the lenga forest near the top. Lots of red deer tracks, four condors at the top. Checked traps at 5 p.m.; nothing. Anita put out 10 Shermans in scrub along the tuco line. One tuco at 8 p.m., looks like haigi, caught by one foot. It ate grass and Senecio immediately. Another trap stuffed with dirt. Cloudy, not windy. December 7 - Paso Cordoba. Heard horned owl during the night. Tuco traps held one Geoxus, partly eaten, and one other tuco trap buried. Lots of deer tracks.

Pearson - 1994 15 Drove down to the bottom of the hill (towards Lago Meliquina) and skinned. Then drove toward San Martin de los Andes, past many pine plantations and past Lago Meliquina (nobody there). Found tuco diggings at the turnoff to Chapelco Ski Center, but none of them fresh. Turned up to Chapelco and asked if there were any tucos. A workman said no, you had to go down to San Martin. But we walked up on the ski slopes and found numerous fresh diggings. Got permission to put traps from the lady Administrator, who said that she sees evidence of them only in the snow in winter. So at 2 p.m. we set 13 steel traps, mostly on the ski runs. Tunnels are large and frequently deep. Even with fresh sign, we frequently could not find an open tunnel; they are packed with dirt down deep. Numerous burrows had swarms of tiny biting ants. Heard no tucos. A few hikers and bicyclers and workmen, but pretty much to ourselves. Sunny, warm. Ten traps were up on the ski slope, all within 150m of eachother. Another three traps were in a meadow with a soccer field, a quarter mile from the ski slope traps. Ran traps at 7-8 p.m. still sunlight, There were six tucos plus one trap buried by a tuco. Reset all these traps in the same places. Camped on the old road near the junction with the road to Villa Angostura. December 8- Night clear, not cold, dew. Picked up traps at 7 a.m., sunny. There were three more tucos, including one in the trap that had been buried. Total 9 tucos in 13 traps. All except one alive in the trap, caught by one foot or, two of them, by the tail. All were steel jump traps. None of the six traps that caught tucos yesterday caught tucos today. Nothing else in the traps either. The Administradora and her assistant had never seen a tuco before, but were famiilar with its tunnels in the snow. Skinned until 4 p.m., then drove down to San Martin de Los Andes and looked up Sr. Mario Gentili, a local entomologist and Director of the Instituto Patagonico de Ciencias Naturales, in his home. Tiny office stuffed with insect boxes, arrow heads, etc. He with ?Parkinson's? disease. He and his wife invited us to come back and trap at their cabin a few miles from San Martin; a

Nora came to discuss her thesis. Record heat in Neuquen, the river very high there (from snowmelt)? Deceber 10- Bariloche. Sunny, warm. Visited with Nelly Frei de Neumeyer in her marvelous flower garden, including three of the four kinds of Ceonothus the seeds of which we sent her. Her father imported from Chillan in Chile many of the exotics of Bariloche This would have been early 1920s. Roth and Runge would come back from Chile not with chocolates but with plants. December 11- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Anglo-Argentine picnic. Met Arturo Amos, a geologist, Director of PROGEBA. Lorenzo Sympson says that the rainfall this year at Estancia La Primavera is above normal and everything is nice and green. December 12- Drizzly all day. Went to Puerto Blest. The new Interpretative Center is very nicely done, but is off the route taken by most of the tourists, so will not have the impact that it might. Counted flowering bamboo from the playing field to El Abuelo and back: 5 flowering clumps on the river side of the road, 3 on the opposite side; total 8. Our big clump in the forest by the big tree had 2 dead shoots (both parasitized) and 4 yearling culms, 1 live new shoot. The small clump in the second growth forest had 2 dead shoots, both parasitized, 1 yearling, and about 7 new shoots. An MD-PhD tourist from Minnesota stood by the Cascada at Los Cantaros and said: "We have a lot of falls like this in Minnesota." Michael Christie came by in the evening. Two of Eileen's radio-collared sociabilis were found dead on top of the ground, apparently killed by septicemia. He brought barn owl pellets from Laguna Los Juncos. December 13- Bariloche. Sunny, warm. Eileen brought an owl pellet from her study area. She is about to move across the river to Estancia San Ramon. She, John, and Stan came for lunch. John and Tommy Christie are about to hike up above La Lipela looking for tucos. Michael says that there are tucos on steep sandy slopes above Dolly Frei's place at Paso Coihue, on the transect from Cullin Manzano to Brazo Huemul.

Pearson - 1994 17 Martha Bunge came by to discuss her thesis. Michael brought by a dead tuco (sociabilis) that Eieen had radio-collared and found dead on the surface several days later. It was pretty stinky and someone had already removed the lungs and some other organs. Saved skin, skull, liver, and sternum; Michael's field number. Then dinner with Michael, Patricia, and 3 of the boys. Michael showed us Stan's tuco trap, which is a heavy-weight plastic tube with a simple drop door open at the distal end. Michael says it works well. December 14- Left for Chile. Stopped at Paso Puyehue and looked down in the gulley to the south where Michael said he had seen Euneomys runways. We found a few holes and runways that looked like Chelemys, but found no Euneomys droppings. We ended up putting traps in grassy/bushy habitat north of the road a few hundred meters east of the summit I put 3 cage traps and Anita put 10 Shermans and a steel trap. Faint runways, no droppings. Then we drove over the pass and about a half-km west of the summit discovered a road that heads off to the north, up hill, through sparsely vegetated pumice fieds. We drove up the road about a half-km, then walked up farther to where the low vegetation becomes fairly thick, and is full of Chelemys holes and runways. It would seem to be an easy place to catch lots of Chelemys. Saw a fox and cub right at the pass near the Christ; maybe it scavenges tourist lunches. Then drove down to Aguas Calientes, stopping frequently to check dead quila bamboo. See bamboo species account. Checked into a cabin at Aguas Calientes, then walked through a lovely forest across the river from the outdoors thermal pool. December 15- Aguas Calientes. Photos in forest. We were packing the car when we said hello to the group who had moved into the cabin above ours late last night. Turned out that it was Crispin Sadler and his filming crew from New Zealand. He had written me a year or more ago asking advice about filming a bamboo- bloom and rat outbreak. He gave us to read and criticise a manuscript on the subject. He had contacted Milton Gallardo (tepid response) and Luz Gonzales, who had

Pearson - 1994 18 apparently set him up near their study area at San Martin, and introduced him to Pedro, her trapper, but apparently the crew had still not gotten good mouse pictures. He had also been in contact with Parkguard Victor Pacheco at Aguas Calientes, and with Schlegel in Rome. He also reported that a North American company (Trillium) had bought a piece of Tierra del Fuego as big as Chiloé Island and was going to log it. Murua was down there consulting or doing an impact statement. We left about 11 and headed up to the pass, with stops for bamboo and lunch. Saw a flock of a half-dozen Araucanian pigeons at one stop maybe 6 km east of Aguas Calientes, in the dead bamboo area. My three cage traps at the pass held one adult Chelemys; released it. Anita's traps had one adult Chelemys (released), one adult Auliscomys (released), and one Abrothrix longipilis (moribund, put it up). Then down the hill into Argentina. Saw another Araucanian pigeon maybe 10 km east of the pass. Also a fox about there. Home about 6 p.m. December 16- Christie came by with a dead tuco (haigii?) that had been moribund in one of Eileen's traps across the Limay. Saved skeleton; the guts had been removed. Christie reported seeing many flocks of pigeons during one of his trips to Chile (?last year?) through the quila bamboo area. Served on Nora Ibarguengoytia;s Licenciado thesis committee: Reproduction of Liolaemus pictus, which has a bi-annual cycle. December 17- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Drove out to Pampa Quemada to check bamboo. December 18- Bailoche. Sunny and warm. Nellie Frei de Neumeyer came by (flower show at th German School), and Noel Wesley and Graham Haris' mother (Junin de los Andes) and sister (San Martin de los Andes). Finished the owl pellets from Estancia La Primavera; remarkable diversity including Geoxus, Chelemys, Irenomys, Rattus, Reithrodon, Oryzomys, Abrothrix longi, Abro xantho, and Eligmodontia. December 19- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Went up to the University to leave a note for Carmen Ubeda and some mouse skulls from owl pellets for her student who is doing pellets from the airport. Then to ECOTONO where I discussed the xanthorhinus manusrpt with Marianna

Pearson - 1994 19 and Karin. Michael Christie came by with some more specimens to take to Berkeley, and with permits for them. He says that John and Tommy found sociabilis up high in the Cuyin Manzano in sandy Acaena habitat. Eileen has tagged (and collared?) something like 17 haigii from across the Limay on Est. San Ramon. Flew to Buenos Aires where Ulyses Pardinas met us at the Aeroparque with the Auliscomys specimens that he had borrowed. His "Pearsonomys" from Laguna Verde in Neuquen does not have long claws but does have a skull very much like Pearsonoys with slanty zygomatic plate (as in some of our Abrothrix from near the border). He says there is a lot of feuding at the Museum in La Plata and that the mammal collection may not be a good place to deposit specimens. He also did not think that Tucuman was a good place for specimens. He is in the Paleontology section at La Plata.

Pearson - 1994 20 Bamboo October 29- For LiaoLiao marked culms see Journal. October 30- La Veranada. The clump back in the woods (E2) had 17 dead shoots. 14 of them had clear sign of being killed by insects, in 3 of them I could find no clear sign of such. There were 20 living yearlings; marked the with pen. Clump E3 had 29 dead shoots. 24 of them clearly killed by insects; 5 not sure. 7 live yearlings; marked them with pen. October 31- Visited Pampa Quemada where the fire had swept through the scrub a year ago (October 14). Woodcutters have removed a lot of firewood such as retamo, radial and nire and made piles of branches. The only trees alive and standing were a few mayten. There were quite a few regenerating bamboo clumps, which we did not detect last year. They were usually mixed in with trunks of retamo or radial or nire, or all three. All three are root-sprontg vigorously, hardly any standing ones survived. Rosa mosqueta was killed back but has recovered with stems 4 or 5 feet long. All the standing canes of the bamboo had been killed by the fire, but not consumed. These dead canes are now emerging from a tangle of short bushy bamboo culms, many of them grazed by cows (and horses?). Lots of tuco diggings, especially at the base of the dead clumps of whatever species. The short bushy culms are 2 or 3 feet tall, and may have 25 nodes. We saw only a couple of yearling culms 4 or 5 feet tall and without leaves. Why not more? There obviously was a lot of culm production, by why no production of tall yearlings, which must have been ready to go at the time of the fire. Perhaps they got killed by the fire while they were still small shoots or even rhizome buds? Then the rhizome produced a frenzy of small shoots? The only proper yearlings that we saw were produced by clumps at the edge of the fire zone that had not been burned. Some Berberis (calafate) survived. November 1- Cerro Otto. Clump A1 out in the open had no dead shoots, 15 yearlings, and one skinny yearling a little over 1m tall with a dead tip but no insect signs.

Pearson - 1994 21 Anita marked also two 2-yr-olds that apperntly we missed last year. Clump A2 had 38 dead shoots and 9 yearlings. 32 of the dead shoots showed clear insect damage, and 3 did not. Anita also marked two 2-yr-olds. In order to get an idea of the consequences of cutting or fire damage, I chose a small clump 22m east of A2, next to a lenga with three trunks. I cut all the live culms at ground level, but left standing 12 slender dead culms (a graded series from quite small up to 11mm diam at 3m above ground. The live culms consisted of: 1 yearling 14.9mm diam at 3m 4 2-yr-olds 11.8, 14.3, 9.3, and 13.2mm 18 adult culms: 10.7, 12.5, 10.2, 11.6, 8.1, 10.0, 8.2, 11.4, 9.2, 8.7, 12.1, 9.1, 10.6, 10.3, 12.3, 11.0, 7.4, 11.0 dead above 0.5m, and one 13.6mm at .5m which had the top gone but had leaves. There were no dead shoots and no new shoots. Didnt see any new shoots yet nearby, although Anita counted one in A2. This clump seems to be young, maybe had been cut off maybe 20 years or 30 yes ago, or maybe naturally seeded. November 3- Pampa Quemada. While searching for a clump of unburned bamboo to cut off for regrowth studies, found a big clump of very big canes between the road and the forest to the west. The canes were as big and tall as anything at Llao Llao or Cerro Otto, with large long leaves, yet there it was in the scrubby nire/radal etc. Most of the culms looked youngish, with culm sheaths intact etc. Many of the branches with 10 or more retained leaves. On one side of this clump, in contact with it, was a clump of smaller culms that looked more like the typical Pampa Quemada, La Veranada type. No sign of grazing here. Located an unburned clump and cut off all the living culms, 5 dead shoots (3 of them bug-eaten),11 yearlings, most of them 6 to 8 feet tall, and 59 adult culms, some of them up to 12 feet tall. No new shoots yet. This clump is between the bridge at the Vialidad house and the first road into the Pampa north of the bridge. Actually, the clump is on the east (Centro Atomico) side of the road, about 10 m in from the road, 38 yards south or southeast of the first "road" into the Pampa on the west side of the road.

Pearson - 1994 22 November 10- SAREM meeting in Cordoba. Luz Gonzales from Validivia told Anita about the cana quila flowering at their study area near San Martin. There was indeed a ratada, but Oryzomys was the only species that increased. Normally they reach a max of 60/ha, but they reached 200/ha. She said they were transients and that they ate water pipes, kitchen supplies, etc. They were much larger than usual; usually about 28g, but many were 70-75g. The flowering began in 1992; in January 1994 there were 53 million seeds per ha, 60- 80% of them viable. In February 1994 there was a storm and after that all seeds were infertile (floated in water).In March and April the mice appeared. Unfortunately, Pedro, her native field assistant, broke his leg and was unable to help document everything. December 14- Chile. The uppermost clumps of quila, above the Chilean Aduana, are dead, and have many seedlings under them; maybe 20 per m2. All these seedlings are of minimum size, 3 or less leaves. Farther down the hill, almost all the quila along the road is dead. We found a few clumps that had neither bloomed nor died. Oe was almost dead, had some clumps of green/brown leaves which with binoculars looked like flowering heads or seed heads high up. A Phrygilus was feeding on them. Saw one flock of parrots at Aguas Calientes, and a flock of Araucanian pigeons along the road a few km east of Termas de Puyehue. Everyplace we stopped we found seedlings under the dead quila. Sizes varied from brand new (only one minileaf) to three culms of graded diameter (presumably three ages ?years?). The masses of dead culms and branches are a real mess, very difficult to walk across, splendid cover for mice. Saw no mice, nor raptors other than caracaras. In the forest at Aguas Calientes were numerous branched bamboos (species?) that had not bloomed. The other species of bamboo had not bloomed; we saw no bloom on non-quila species. A paisana whom we picked up said that the quila blooms every 30 years. By chance we met at Aguas Calientes the New Zealand television crew (Crispin Sadler) who were filming bamboo, mice etc. December 17- Visited the bamboo at Pampa Quemada. Clumps that burned in the fire two years ago have green culms a meter or more tall, very leafy right down almost to

Pearson - 1994 23 ground level, and new green shoots .5m tall +-. The unburned clump that we cut off last year has 4 new shoots coming up. The tallest is about 0.7 m tall and of a diameter almost as large as the cut culms. Three of these shoots were already up a month or more ago when we visited this clump. [illegible]

Pearson - 1994 24 Ctenomys maulinus December 7- Drove from Paso Cordoba, where we caught what looks like haigii, to Chapelco, past Lago Meliquina. We looked for tuco diggings as we drove along the Villa Angostura-San Martin road but saw none. We stopped once, just before the turnoff to Chapelco where there is a big pasture above the road. I walked around in it and saw lots of tuco diggings None fresh, but surely tucos were present. There seemed to be a preference for digging at the base of the few scattered Berberis bushes. Heard none. We turned up the road to Chapelco and saw a few diggings along this road. The ski resort at Chapelco was completely closed down, but some maintenance people were working. One of them said there were no tucos there, that you had to go down to San Martin to find them. However, Anita and I walked up onto the nearest ski slope, turf grazed by cows, and found numerous fresh fresh diggings. So we set 10 steel traps on that slope, and 3 more near the soccer field north of the slopes. Finished setting about 3 p.m. While excavating for burrows in which to set traps, we uncovered rhizomes of bamboo, but there was no bamboo growing on the slopes. The Administradora said that they had to cut bamboo every year. The first slope was cut in the 1970s. She had never seen a tuco, but was familiar with its tunnels in the snow. See journal and catalog for details of trapping. At no time did we hear vocalizations. At 8 o'clock p.m., sun still up, there were 6 tucos in the traps. December 8- Chapelco. Three more tucos when we picked up the traps at 7 a.m. No two tucos from the same burrow. One dead tuco put into a bucket with a live one was immediately attacked and bitten. Three? females were late pregnant, none lactating. They must have gotten pregnant under the snow. One male had small testes; another had larger testes but sex accessories not very big and the epidimys tubule not clearly visible. Smeared it. [Abundant 'zoa, asymmetrical, many with broken tails]. The seminal vesicle was delicate and branched like a stag coral; the ?prostates were

Several individuals were loaded with mites and/or fleas. December 10- On the basis of available specimens of tucos, maulinus has hind feet the same color as the tail; haigii has tail darker than hind feet.

Pearson - 1995 1 Journal - 1995 October 26.- Arrived Bariloche 6:30 p.m. from Buenos Aires. Steppe is pretty brown still, some green in the Estancia El Condor marshy ground but very few sheep seen. Temperature warm. In town the tulips, narcissus, and some plum/cherry trees are blooming. Looked for Oswaldo Ramirez at the Hotel Sol, but he was not in. Returned to the apartment and Oswaldo, his wife and little daughter were there. Turned over the primers from Peg Smith and talked about Phyllotis. October 27.- Warm. Oswaldo came to the apartment and we discussed his thesis proposal: "Sistematica y relaciones evolutivas del genero Phyllotis". He has a good grasp of the genus and has done some collecting in Peru. He is from Lima, his wife from Cuzco, but is currentbly in Valdivia with Miton Gallardo on a German fellowship. The University in Valdivia will not allow him to leave for more than 2 months to collect data in Peru, and I gather that Milton is not wild about the thesis project, although Oswaldo is hoping that Milton will be the major professor. He has been in touch with Spotorno and with Steppan. I gather that he has no experience with DNA sequencing. He was attending the Genetics Congress here this past week, together with Spotorno and Gallardo. In the afternoon went to see Christie, but Laurence Sympson was there instead and said that Michael went to Chile for 2 days and has been gone seven. Laurence says he is still occupying the house at La Primavera. The town is full of small computerized signs opposing the construction of a new dam on the Rio Limay. "No to a second Angostura", "No dam at Angostura 2nd", "El Rio Limay vive. No lo maten". Temperature during the day up to 73. October 28.- Day clear and warm. Overnight minimum 50. Got the car running (battery down),otherwise seems OK. Shopping, playing with GPS, then visited Jorge Vallerini (Patricia is out of town). He says the winter was very cold for days on end, numerous snow storms but not one big blizzard as in 1984. Drought in

He says the city council of Bariloche opposes the new dam, but thinks that the feds will do what they please (control water flow into Alicura Reservoir, Chocon, and Piedra de Aguila). We had not run into any of our friends yet when we drove out to Las Victorias to have a clear shot at the satellites to initaize our GPS. We parked on a little- used unpaved side street and were fussing with the GPS when a car came and squeeed by: it was Miguel Gross. He is building a house out there! Gallopín and Isobel seem to be fine, are still in Venezuela, and their house in Bariloche is up for sale. Miguel is working for Parques, using GPS fed into a computer to plot trails in the national parks. Michael Christie came by at about 8 p.m. Just back from Chile where he had been looking at herp specimens in Concepcion. He wants to move away from Bariloche, maybe away from Argentina. He says that the proposed dam at the "Second Angostura" of the Rio Limay would serve to make Lake Nahuel Huapi into a huge reservoir that could be used to control the levels in Alicura etc, downstream. The level of the Lake would fluctuate something like 10 or 20 meters. The plan includes blasting out the exit at Nahuel Huapi to make it possible to lower the level farther. Christie has caught a Euneomys mordax and Ctenomys maulinus at the pass with Araucarias between Alumine and Zapala. This is somewhat south of Pino Hachado. The habitat for the mordax was as described before, and they also seemed to be using the Ctenomys burrows. He has a couple more frozen sociabilis left him by Eileen. Maximum temp during the day was 74, not windy. October 29.- Day warm, sunny, no wind; max temp. 76. Drove out to Lago Los Juncos with Werner Flueck and Joanna. Lots of water in the lake. Flamingos, black-necked swans, oodles of coots, a few geese, small grebes, a few ducks, and many white Coscoroba swans. Saw no condors. At Marful's meadow beyond the lake, I saw no Reithrodon sign out in the meadow, and a few old sign on higher ground near the railroad track. Anita saw a few signs in the meadow. Obviously not many Reithros around. The meadow was quite dry, although water was running in the little stream. Werner says the density

Pearson - 1995 3 of red deer on Jones ranch and other places nearby is higher than anywhere else in the world. Joanna says the flowering season is one or two weeks late this year. Took GPS readings. Home by 3:30. October 30.- Overnight temp 56. Morning sunny, warm, no wind. Drove out to Pampa Quemada to look at the bamboo clump that we clipped. The burned pampa has regenerated vigorously with lots of new Radal, retamo, Berberis, maiten, nire, rosa, and bamboo. Our unburned clump of bamboo had 9 new, live leafy culms, one dead (cut off at ground level, or broken), and 3 or 4 adult-leafy branches apparently sprouting at ground level or below ground from an old node. The leafy culms had no branches, nor did the leafy culms om the burned plants across the road. Went up to ECOTONO in the afternoon. Nadia Guthman was there. She had been trapping out at the airport grid and said there were numerous Oryzomys. She used respirator, rubber gloves, etc. because of the Hanta virus. She said that the people at Pergamino (Dra.Enria) had sent trappers to El Bolson and that they had caught something like 50 mice, all negtive for Hanta virus. Nadia is just finishing writing up her thesis. Rapoport was away. Day was warm, sunny, no wind, max 72. October 31.- Temp overnight 58. Cloudy but then cleared. Warm, sunny, not windy. Max 72, Drove up Cerro Otto to look at the two bamboo clumps. There were still numerous patches of snow about 1 foot deep, some of them still holding the tips of long arched bamboo culms. Lots of tuco earth cores, some of them lying on snow. The lenga leaves are out, the ground paved with a skin of lenga leaves (unlike last year), plus lots of downed lenga branches 2-3 inches in diameter. Very few birds beside wrens. No new bamboo shoots. Flavia, the girl baby-sitting Refugio Otto Meiling for Club Andino, was stalled on the road at Piedras Blancas; gave her a ride to town. November 1.- Temp minimum 47. Drove out to Llao Llao Peninsula to check bamboo. While stopped at the Marsh to make a GPS reading, Javier Bellati drove by, recognized us, and stopped to chat. He is still at INTA but no longer in the Fauna section. There were

He had been looking at archeology sites on Bahia Lopez. He has not located the tuco heads that he said he had found at an archeological site at Arroyo Corral (Dolly Frey's). Just after we left him we had a flat tire and came to a stop right next to his car! The forest at Llao Llao had lost two big coihues near our bamboo clump. The clearing with rosa mosqueta was about the same. No new bamboo shoots. Heard and saw chucaos. Many fallen limbs, as well as the two big trees down. See bamboo secies account. At 6:30 p.m. drove out to the pine plantation on the south side of the Limay at the exit from the lake (Estancia San Ramon?). Picnicked, then after dark walked through the pines for about an hour with jacklight and night vision goggles. Saw no mice, no sign of owls. I wonder where the Irenomys in owl pellets from Cerro Villegas come from? Perhaps from willows lower down the Limay? Cipres forest on top of Cerro Leon? The pines have about 20 growth rings and are about 20 ft. tall. Cool, little wind, half moon. Maximum temp. during the day 72. November 2.- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 50. Cloudy, even a few sprinkles. Shopped for tires. Temp max 64. November 3.-Bariloche. Overnight minium 50. Overcast, occasional drizzle in the morning, more drizzle in the afternoon. Installed 3 new tires. Started out for La Veranada in the afternoon, but too much drizzle so turned around at the middle of Lago Gutierrez. High about 55. November 4.- Overnight minimum 50. Day mostly sunny, calm, max 68o. Drove to La Veranada bamboo clumps. Road is paved all the way! Scattered couds but mild temps. The nire leaves are just beginning to come out, dandelions in bloom. Only a few birds (wrens and fio- fios), no snow, no wild pig damage, very few earth cores but lots of tuco sign, and Chelemys? Back to Bariloche about 4 o'clock. See Bamboo species account. November 5.- Bariloche. Day sunny, mild, breezy, max 66. Drove out to Rincon Grande on the Limay in the afternoon. They are laying telephone cable along the road: shallow ditch plus occasional cement junction

Pearson - 1995 5 boxes. There is a junction box right at our sociabiis ridge. Some tuco sign still, also a bigger burrow maybe huron. Heavy traffic along the highway, Sunday afternoon, trucks, buses, and cars. Eileen's tuco area looks the same, the vegetation not at all spring-like. Actually, things look dry. November 6.-Bariloche. Minimum overnight 50. Sunny, breezy. November 7.- Bariloche. Michael Christie came by. He visited Paso Coihue (across the Lake, up above the highway to Villa Angostura, where Dolly Frey's little retreat is). Michael called it the Obrum place. He says there were signs of Ctenomys sociabilis there, and, he thinks, signs of Euneomys mordax. Also Chelemys, and within the forest, signs of a tuco (or Aconaemys). Went up to ECOTONO; Eddy was the only one there, Then up to Flueck's where Joanne was giving an English lesson. Sent their e-mail address to Ned Johnson. [Not sent some problem]. November 8.- Minimum overnight 45. Morning clear and sunny, not windy. Went to Puerto Blest on the 8:00 International launch. Sunny at Puerto Blest. Walked the road to El Abuelo looking for flowering bamboos. Only one! It was on the west side of the road only 5 m from the north end of the census. El Abuelo, the huge old coihue, broke off about 30 or 40 ft. up the trunk. Pieces of the top lying all around; some big pieces of hollow trunk. At two places along the road there were snowbanks in the trees and bamboo;I don't remember this from other years. The little museum/interpretive center is excellent. Talked at length with with Hector "Oso" Ferioli and his girl Maria Fernanda. He says that because of the cold winter many mice were coming into the houses at Lago Frias. Fifteen a day. Also, maybe the quila bloom farther down in Chile had something to do with it. He also had seen Pellarano's Condor a few weeks ago. It seemed to be in poor shape, but came right down and started to eat as soon as meat was offered. It ate 5 kilos of meat in 2? days. In the forest at the site of Clump D1, there were lots of Geoxus holes in the forest floor. Uncannily, in at east 8 of them, a single greenish bamboo leaf lay on the floor of the tunnel at the entrance. There were, of course, zillions of bamboo leaves on the ground, but the one in the tunnel mouth was usually

Michael Christie came by with some specimens: A skin and skeleton of Euneomys mordax from Portal Atizvesada, 1700m, 3km S, 7km W Primeros Pinos, Dpto. Picunches, Neuquen. This is a pass between Zapala and Alumine. 192x78x25x22, 88g. The grooves in the incisors are central. A skin and skeleton of Chelemys, pale. 174x54x24x15. 71g A frozen skull of a Ctenomys maulinus, stinko, but saved. He said that the tucos and the mordax were lving side by side, maybe same burrows. The Euneomys and the Chelemys will be given to Ojeda for IADIZA when I see him at the SAREM meetings. Two frozen Ctenomys sociabilis from Eileen's study area. These will be prepared and one given to Ojeda. Two Chelemys from Paso Coihue across the lake, both adults, only slightly darker than the Primeros Pinos specimen. Not saved. One Akodon longipilis from Paso Coihue. big adult, and one middle sized Auliscomys. Not saved. November 10.- Bariloche. Minimum 47. Sunny, warm, no wind all day, max 73o. Drove out toward Chalhuaco in the afternoon, but the firt bridge was so decrepid and the stream so high that we couldn,t cross. Yellow orchids in bloom in deserty parts. Dinner at Rapoport's with Barbara, Peter Feinsinger, his Chilean "assistant" from Santiago Ricardo Rossi, and a yankee student Carol ...who is interested in plant physiology. Feinsinger is taking his class tomorrow out to Chalhuaco; says there is a locked gate on private land that allows one to get across the stream...if you have a key. The Rapoport's cabin on Chiloe Island was invaded by mice during the recent ratada. Barbara is into photography, and painting with acrylics. November 11.- Minimum 55, sunny, calm. Fluecks came for dinner. They are still puttering with red deer and huemuls but no focus visible. Horror stories about a break-in robbery at their house while Joanne was home,

Went up to near the top of Cerro Otto, where the old lenga along the trail is located. Numerous earth cores in the forest (Chelemys?), some Berberis blooming, a few snow drifts, no amancay up yet. Very few birds. Visited the new port below the Civic Center. The port is practically abandoned, the shops empty, etc. Only the boat to Isla Huemul is using the port. The huge municipal pool was full and looked inviting- but not open. November 13.- Sunny, warm, breezy. Drove across the lake to the cliff at Estancia Tehuel Malal. One Geranoatus flew over when we arrived, and four or more were soaring over the road a mile or so east when we left. The Pampa had a sparse scattering of horses, cows and sheep; deer droppings abundant. Saw one hare down on the flats below the cliff. Gathered perhaps 2 quarts of pellets, but mostly scrappy, none fresh. Lots of espina negra and rosa, but no worse than last year. Perhaps the deer keep it open. Visited the Parques office. Chehebar is in Europe, but his otter successor was there. Also Miguel Gross, Oso, and Eduardo Ramilo. They did not sound tuned in to the Hanta virus situation. November 14-18.- La Plata. Went to the 10th Meeting of SAREM (Sociedad Artentina para el Estudio de los Mamiferos), organized by Alfredo Carlini ad Ulyses Pardinass. The opening ceremonies were in the Museum of Natural History in the Paseo del Bosque, including brief welcoming speeches, a short performance by the Chorus of the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales in the entrance rotunda of the Museum with its marvelous acoustics like a cathedral, and refreshments. The papers were all at a fairly new building at the Medical School. There were 230 Oral presentations, posters, invited speeches, round tables, and courses. Much frustraton from so many concurrent events, all running late and in uncertain locations. Three of the invited speakers were Pascual from La Plata, Scott Steppan from USA, and Milton Gallardo from Valdivia. Many papers on the fossil history of Hystricomorphs, the Great American Interchange, and many on tuco-tucos from Christina Busch's group at Mar del Plata and the Mendoza group. Julio Contreras was there, and Yolanda

Pearson - 1995 8 Davis. Dr. Delia Enria and G. Calderon from Pergamino gave a presentation on Hanta Virus and snowed us with the precautions necessary. I talked with her later, and gave a blood sample. She firmly defended her territory against any incursions by me or Hjelle. Nadia Guthman and Mariana Losada did some work for her (at El Bolson?) and are hoping that Enria can help them get support for a study of the ecology of whatever species of mice are involved. Pergamino has already taken a sample of 49 mice from the El Bolson region, but everything was negative. The banquet was attended by at least 100 people, mostly young, perhaps students taking "Cursos" at the meetings. We were seated at 10:30 p.m., fed at 12, came home at 1:00 when the fun was just starting. Much din. The new president is Reca. Roig and Kravetz were not present. Piantanida appeared briefly for her poster session. There was one session containing 17 oral presentations about Ctenomys. On Saturday morning, after the meetings were over, I went to the Museum and met Pardinás there, who showed me some tuco skulls that he had recovered from owl material in a cave in Rio Negro. Some of them seemed to be too large for haigii or mendocinus. I also looked through a cabinet of mouse secimens, skins and skulls. Many of them are old, even Budin specimens, Not enough material to form a critical mass. However, I do not know what else is available in the Paleontology section of the Museum. I suspect that there are serious territorial problems. Tonni, the mammalogist, did not attend the meetings; it is said that he had recently had an appendectomy. Luciano De Santis and Marcelo Tejedor from the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Catedra de Anatomia Comparada, Paseo del Bosque, and Pablo Straccia from the Escuela de la Salud y del Comportamiento, Catedra de Introduccion a la Ecologia, Mar del Plata gave me a manuscript to read concerning recent records of Lestodelphis. Later, F. J. Goin from the Departamento Cientifico Paleontologia Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, asked me to be a co-author on a manuscript that was essentially a revision of the genus Lestodelphys including a couple of fossil species. He seemed to

Pearson - 1995 9 know about the specimens that I had given to Pascual 4 years ago, but Tejedor et al. did not list those specimens in their manuscript. The young mammalogist Diego Verzi was listed on the program from Departamento Cientifico Zoologia Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque, but he was not one of the organizing committee. Pardinás himself is listed from Departamento Cientifico Paleontologia Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque (same as Pascual). My meeting Saturday morning with Goin did not occur; he seems to have had to stay home with a sick baby. I later learned that Goin and Pardinás were co-authors on this MS. Why didn't Pardinás say something about it? Back to Buenos Aires on the bus Saturday afternoon, then flew back to Bariloche Sunday noon. Steppe much greener than a couple of weeks ago. Michael Christie came by at about 8:30 and arranged for us to show Liz and Tony Barnosky around tomorrow. November 20.- Overnight minimum 10C; some drizzle during the day. Took the Barnoskies down the Limay Valley. Eileen Lacey passed us on the road going the other way, turned around, and met us at her study area. It was drizzly windy, so she and John were not working. Also, they had seen 35-g young and did not want to interrupt lactation. She has found some of her old marked females, but not the males. We then went to Cueva Trafúl I. The excavation had pretty much collapsed, but numerous mouse bones were still in situ. Then went to the amberat cave on Estancia La Primavera at the north end of the third terminal moraine. Lots of low grade amberat still available, plus grass nesting material. We saved a few skulls more or less at random from both caves. There were 2 Chelemys, 3 Phyllotis, 5 Ctenomys, 15 Euneomys, 1 frog, 1 Akodon xantho, and 1 Reithrodon. Some drizzle off and on, plus wind. Home at 4:30 p.m. Saw one condor over the Rio Cuyin Mazano. Numerous pines still living at La Primvera near the moraine; about 3 ft. tall. A few of them barked by, probably, bull elk. It is said that La Riviere, the owner and President of National Parks, wants to plant lots of pine trees on the estancia. November 21.- Minimum 42, scattered clouds. Drove out to

Pearson - 1995 Laguna los Juncos with Barnoskies and Michael Christie. He released one of his lizards up on the slope across from Marful's meadow, then we went up to the big cave. Liz saw one viscacha. Only a couple of owl pellets in the cave Liz thought there still could be some profitable digging in the cave. Then we drove with the Barnoskies out to 10km S Comallo and looked along the rimrock near the mima-mound field. Tons of viscacha droppings, but we didn't see any viscachas. Liz found a big deposit of amberat in a small overhang near the north end of the cliff, more abundant than any in the Limay and Traful caves of a couple of years ago. Some of it was weatherd, but some shiny black. She said it was just like packrat amberat. Some urine odor. There were also small carnivore droppings lying nearby. Assorted recent mammal bones lying near the base of the cliff, including Reithrodon and armadillo. We had looked along this rimrock 2 years ago with Peg Smith, but had not gone quite this far north. Why no amberat in other similar places along the rimrock? Leafcutter ants carrying seeds of a very spiny desert shrub. Some Stillingia. Tony looked for fossils in a pale bare area across the road and found numerous scraps of small Notungulate?, he thinks probably Miocene and says the giology looks just like Montana. In fact, the Barnoskies cant get over how much the landscape all around the Limay and the steppe is like Montana. We all then hunted for bones on another bare slope about a quarter-mile north but found only a few scraps. I walked across one of the mima areas. One mound had a burrow opening right on top, others had one or more openings on the side, but not clearly tuco. When we were here with Peg Smith, there was tall lush green vegetation so high that you could not make out the mounds, but now everything is very dry, mostly bare gound, a few weeds here and there, some with flowers. No fresh tuco sign. We picnicked on the INTA Campo Anexo land on the road back to the clausuras, hoping to see rheas, but none, and saw none from the road on the way home. Gas in Comallo, coffee break in Pilcaniyeu, then a spectacular view near sunset of 15 condors perched on a big vertcal cliff right along the road at Arroy La Fragua east of Marful's. 7 adults and 8 juveniles. Then at the usual

Pearson - 1995 11 condor cliff at Marful's there were at least a half- dozen. Home at 9:00. Saw only 3 squashed hares, one live one. Numerous armadillo burrows. November 22.-Minimum temp. <50. Went up to ECOTONO but nobody home. Dissolved a chunk of amberat from the cave at the end of the terminal moraine on Estancia La Primavera. It contained no bones, mostly small black gunk that might be disintegrated Phyllotis pellets, plus some pieces of plant matter that look like grasses. Christie came by with a dead Ctenomys sociabilis from Eileen's study area. It was a lactating female. Eileen says there are 35-gram young on her study area, so she does't like to trap right now. Christie is going to update his distributions of mammals in the Park area and submit to SAREM. 23 November.-Minimum 45; sunny, not windy. Dinner with Christie. 24 November.- Left Bariloche about 10 a.m., partly cloudy, a few drizzles. Two condors on the cliff at La Fragua, one of them an adult, one, at the entrance to a neat little cave, all black. The two were not at the same place on the cliff. Camped in the mima field east of the road. Only two squashed hares between Bariloche and here. Picnicked for lunch in a group of willows near Pilcanyeu Viejo, and saw three rheas there; no others along the route. I put traps along the rimrock from 3:30 to 6:45. Mostly sunny, breezy. 5 steel trap, 10 cage traps, 22 Shermans. Plastered the amberat place with traps. Calceolaria blooming and some green bunchgrass, but pretty dry. Lots of viscacha droppings, some of them dry-but-fresh looking, on exposed rocks, but did not see or hear any viscachas. Also put 4 Shermans at so- so holes on mima mounds. Anita put 10 Shermans, 19 Museum Specials, and 4 steel on the way up the rocky slope and along the base of the rimrock. Just before dark we went up to the amberat cave and sat with the night vision goggles hoping to see some action. A Phyllotis got caught in a Sherman while we were there, just as the first stars were coming out. Saw nothing else. 25 November.- Night clear and calm, but cloudy at 6:30 a.m. Frost on the windshield. 4 or 5 Bandurria ibises fed in the dry sparse weeds among the mima

Pearson - 1995 12 mounds at 7 a.m. A lot of ibises had flown up the canyon yesterday evening, perhaps to roost in the box canyon where we saw the horned owl nest on the ground a few years ago. My trap line Shermans had 7 live Phyllotis including the one from last evening, all Shermans. Anita's line had 2 dead Phyllotis, both in steel traps. The four Sherman traps on mimma mounds were touched. Located one fresh tuco dig near camp (not in the mima area) and set a steel trap there, plus some MS traps nearby. Fresh-cut herb in the tuco tunnel. Photoed and dug in mimma mounds. None showed current tuco occupancy. Dug in a typical one, 8m diameter and 2 ft, high. The soil is beautifully light with no rocks. About one foot down I came to a 1-inch diameter "trunk" of a shrub; also an old tuco burrow that was partly open and partly loosely plugged. Other test holes found no burrows. In between mounds the soil is much heavier and and about 1 foot down becomes rocky. Not as rocky as the substrate a couple of feet down. A marsh hawk has flown over the mimma area several times. Across the road the mounds are not as clearly defined. I dug at the top of two of them and found open tuco tunnels down about 1 foot. Set traps. Also dug another mound near camp and found an open tunnel down about 1 foot. No sign of recent activity in any of these tunnels. A couple of big cola-de-pichi plants have tuco-like activity at their base and fairly stout branches nipped off (hare or tuco?). Also, tumble weeds get hung up in these big cola de pchi bushes and could contribute to the buildup of biomass. Distance between the tops of mounds at the campsite: 12,12,9,15,13,11,8,12,13,11 m. The two dead Phyllotis were both breeding males. Caught a Ctenomys haigii during the afternoon. It was about 100m from the mimma mound area. Not breeding condition; green in stomach. Checked my line up along the cliff. A couple of Shermans had been upset (by viscachas?) and leaf- cutter ants were carrying off the rolled oats bait at the traps at Liz's cave. The amberat smells like Concord grape juice; in fact, Anita found the cave

Pearson - 1995 13 last night in the dark by smell. 26 November.- Night clear, frost on windshield. My trapline along the cliff had one Phyllotis in a steel trap right at Liz's amberat. Anita's line was untouched. Her 18 traps put out yesterday in the flats across the road (sandier, bushier), had 3 Eligmodontia and 1 Reithrodon. Two traps had been stolen. My two traps across the road on top of mima mounds had one male Ctenomys haigii just like the one yesterday in size and color. There had been no sign of recent tuco activity, but when I dug down there were good tunnels. Released the 7 Phyllotis, alll big adults. One of the three Eligos was a lactating female. Broke camp at 10:30. Tero-teros, ibis, swallows, plantcutters, white-crowned sparrow, marsh hawk, pecho colorado. No sheep droppings, only horse. Stopped at the box canyon a mile up the road (where the horned owl was nesting on the ground several years ago). No sign of the ibises but old mouse bones under the cliff including >4 Lestodelphys. Along the cliff to the right was one place with unconsolidated amberat. To the left were deep low cave, perfect for amberat but only caked sheep droppings. Next to it a shallower cave but no shiny amberat. Lots of dark lizards. No owl pellets. Then drove east to the owl cliff west of Clemente Onelli where I had gotten over 20 Lestodelphys skulls many years ago. It is situated at the edge of a very large juncus marsh (a little standing water but mostly dry). Many sheep in the shade at the base of the cliff. Found a few dozen old pellets plus assorted loose weathered bones. Many of them marsupial. Picked up all the marsupial skulls and jaws that we saw, plus a random assortment of mouse skulls. Also all the pellets, a couple of dozen. None was recent; maybe last winter's weather killed the owls? Then home to Bariloche. Saw no rheas, only one squashed hare. 6-8 condors roosting on the Arroyo La Fragua cliff at 8pm. 27 November.- Bariloche. Sunny and warm all day. Eileen Lacey and John came for lunch. They brought a tuco rostrum and an Auliscomys from am owl pellet showing that nocturnal owls eat diurnal sociabilis. John went

Pearson - 1995 14 hiking up in the high country and found lots of sociabilis in the rolling country up high, sort of between Paso Coihue and La Lipela. Some of them were on dry slopes not at all like the typical habitat. He also brought samples of droppings that look like Euneomys mordax from across the road from Estanica La Primavera, on the west side of the Cullin Manzano River, up high. Many of his new sociabilis colonies were living in, and eating a sticky, small compound-leafed, yellow-flowered legume. Maybe an Adesmia? One of his localities was about a km nearer Cueva Traful than the La Lipela site. Sociabilis female 8113 died in captivity and was kept cool submerged in the stream at their campsite for 2 days. The two frozen specimens that Michael delivered and that had the hemorrhagic lungs were ones found dead last January. I think Eileen said that one of them was a radio-collared one, and that they had found other hemorrhagic ones this season. John found a gaucho in the Cullin Manzano who knew that the tucos there were different from the ones across the Limay. Dolly Frey's daughter has a museum at La Longha, with Indian artifacts, animals, etc. Phoned Brian Hjelle to tell him that I could not arrange to bring him specimens from El Bolson for Hanta Virus studies. He had met recently Dr.Silva from the Virology Institute in Pergamino, an associate of Dr Enria, who said there had been two cases among nutria trappers on the Rio de La Plata. Dr.Enria did not say anything about it in her talk at the SAREM meetings. November 28.- Sunny and warm all day. Went to Parques office to get Graham Harris phone number. Gallopin has published a two-volume ecology of the world, published in Japan by the United Nations University in Mexico. Parques has a file of recent weather data for this region, published by a privatized successor to Hidronor. Gustavo wants an article on mima mounds for SNAP. Werner Flueck came by. Confirmed that poachers had killed huemul up the Nirihuao Valley, and Eduardo Ramilo at Parques had even found a recent puma-killed huemul up there. Werner has found red deer tracks on the west side of Lago Gutierrez. He says that huemuls have never been kept successfully in captivity. Dissected owl pellets from Onelli. There seem to

Pearson - 1995 15 be Lestodelphys and Thylamys. Also a sharp- interorbital Phyllotine such as Graomys. November 29.- Read Tympanoctomys manuscript for Ojeda. Their diet is more varied than previously thought, but still largely salt-plants. aftNovember.- Talked with Graham Harris in Puerto Madryn. He wants a photo or video of Lestodelphys;he is still working on a book of Patagonian animals. Met Conrad Bailey on the street. He has built a casco at the ranch that was split off from Fortin Chacabuco. The new ranch is the upper part and might be an easy route to the high country where we think Euneomys mordax is living. Conrad says that Maiten trees and even espina negra all over the area are dying,doesnt know why. Eileen Lacey came by with a bag of owl pellets that John had collected up above their campsite. Also a dead sociabiis. It was one that they had tagged as a young one last season, also radio-collared. They had seen it acting sick for a couple of days, then found it dead. They sank it in the stream at their campsite to keep it cool. It was a female with big nipples but no milk expressible and no mammary tissue; two placental scars. The lungs had hemorrhagic patches, liver and kidneys looked OK. It also had a puncture wound on the rump with a round hemorrhagic patch in the skin around it. The colony that she is working on has 30 pups, plus adults. She is expectng only one big adult male in the colony. She got nocturnal activity in haigii across the river, but not in the sociabilis colony. Read tuco-digging manuscript for Giannoni, Borghi, and Roig. December 1.- Drove to El Bolson. Sunny and warm. 34km still unpaved, but nice wide roadbed. Lots of pine plantations. Checked into Hosteria Steiner. Lupine and buttercup and some rosa mosqueta in full bloom, and locust trees. All trees are exotics. On the slopes of the Cordillera to the east are lengas up high, and just below them a lot of dead trunks, both fallen and standing. A pine plantation below that. We went birding 5 to 7 p.m. through pastures, rosa, blackberries, poplars, willows, conifers, old fruit trees, and walnut trees and saw no birds in two hours (only lapwings and ibises on the lawn of the Hosteria). Walked through a very low-level Villa

Pearson - 1995 16 Miseria near the river west of the Hosteria, certainly a likely place for Hanta Virus. 2 December.- El Bolson. Sunny warm. Went to see Carlos Kovacs, the ornithologist/artist. His bird book is not yet published. He has a very nice little ornithological museum at his home on a back street of El Bolson. Male and female of every local secies, plus a lot from the Atlantic coast. Well mounted and displayed. Admission $2. He says that not more than 200 people have been to see it since the beginning of the year, including school children- whose classes have been cancelled off and on all year. He agrees that birds in this zone have become very scarce, and he doesnt know why. Only the Araucanian Pigeon has increased. His fathr, in his 90s, alert but not mobile. He says the Hanta victims were in the "suburbs". We did some more birding, this time on the slope east of town, mostly rosa mosqueta; saw almost nothing. At 11 a.m. went to the feria at the plaza. Lots of arts and crafts, including Larochette daughter-in- law selling jams and salsa, the mother from Bariloche, and another son (from Oakland California). Then drove to Lago Puelo National Park. All sorts of concessions, hosterias, hop farms, home lots for sale, inside the park, even a saw mill. The Parkguard Felix Vidoz, recommended by Kovacs, was not to be found....but it was Saturday. Vegetation was mostly rosa and willow, one bare-understorey forest of Patagua trees. The road to the Park from the town is paved part of the way. We returned to town in mid- afternoon. Heard bats after dark with the bat detector. 3 December.- El Bolson to Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Stopped at the La Veranada bamboo, then picnicked at the east end of Lago Guillermo. Lots of tuco sign, In the big meadow north of the road back to the bridge, the tucos are not out in the bunchgrass but seem to be concentrated at the base of Berberis bushes etc. A fire burning on the lower east slope of Cerro Otto. Home about 4:30. 4 December.- Bariloche. Sunny warm. Eileen and John came for lunch. They now hve sociabilis and haigii within 500 yards of eachother (on opposite sides of the Rio

Pearson - 1995 17 Limay). They have been marking tucos like mad; numerous colonies out on their flat with many young. John has seen Reithrodon emerge from a burrow from which a tuco had been captured shortly before. He also says that up high some of the sociabilis are living in very bare slopes, not mallines like the type locality. Dissected owl pellets. 5 December.- Bariloche. Sunny warm. Oil change and filter $60. Margarita the janitor had heard on the television that I was an authority on mice, and asked how Hanta Virus was transmitted. She had heard somewhere that it was transmitted through the urine. School children are being told about it and taught to keep their houses clean. Margarita's family lives on the Rio Puelo in Chile, just over the mountains from El Bolson. Nadia Gutmann broght her thesis by. She has a cousin in El Bolson and says that two of the fatalities there were father and daughter who lived in very close quarters with other houses. The mice that were caught there apparently were pickled and sent to Jaime Polop for identification. Nadia says they were Oligoryzomys and Abrothrix longipilis. She also says that a lady at ECOTONO is studyng rosa mosqueta and has found a fungus that attacks the fruits; is hoping that it might serve as a biological control. Drove to Eileen's campsite in the willows to look for Irenomys. Set 14 Sherms just before dark all except 2 up in the willows. Eileen came home with three live juveniles (about 70g) to hold overnight. She fed them bull thistle. Evening calm and warm, clear, full moon. Then looked for mice with the nght vision goggles. One Sherman on the ground in a tangle of branches in which California quail were roosting held an Abrothrix longipilis. Heard barn owl once. 6 December.- Mornig warm, clear. Traps held one Oligoryzomys (on the ground in the same trap as the Abrothrix last night), and another about 4 feet up in a willow. Then visited Eileen's study area across the road. There is a large green grass/clover etc. meadow without tucos (too wet?), then a flat with bunchgrass, green grass, thistle, Senecio, a few chacay trees, and lots of tuco burrows. A few of them were fresh fresh; heard no vocalizations. Eileen and John demonstrated

Pearson - 1995 18 their noosing technique (shoe lace) plus a couple of dry twigs or thistle stalks across the opening in such a way that they will wiggle and signal the approach of a tuco into position to be noosed. Took photos. The sick tuco that I skinned a couple of days ago was lying dead about 2 feet from a burrow. John has not seen them do the fan-like distribution of excavated earth that other tucos use. December 7.- Bariloche. Sunny nd warm. To ECOTONO and talked with Nadia and Mariana re. Nadia's thesis. Rapoport was there with a new Principle: "When you choose a species for a thesis project, it is bound to go extinct." Apparently his soil arthropod has gone extinct. Dinner with Werner and JoAnne Flueck. After 4? years they still don't have permits for either of the vehicles they brought from the States. Werner has shot about a dozen dogs in his back yard. December 8.- Bariloche sunny warm. To Aguas Calientes in Chile. Presumed Chelemys runways at the top of the pass. Lots of dead quila bamboo along the road beginning a mile or two east of the Chilean aduana. We stopped at a couple of places and found no new quila shoots. Walked along the forest loop trail at Aguas Calientes. Lots of healthy green branched bamboo too slender to be quila (and it did not bloom). The vegetation here looks dry.the moss on tree trunks not very green. Lots of people in the thermal pool along the river. Tried the bat detector twice after dark, no bat sounds. December 9.- Aguas Calientes, Chile. Morning started sunny, then clouded up. Drove out the road toward the Termas and walked up to the island of dead quila that I had trapped in 1992 when we were here with Milton Gallardo. There was no new bamboo emerging from the dead tangle. Numerous belladonna stalks emergng fom pure dead bamboo, but mostly more blackberry and fuchsia around periphery, and more and bigger trees. The death of the bamboo must release young trees for 5 or even 10 years. In most places where we looked in the "island" there were no seedling bamboo, but in one place we found several, with about 4 culms including this year's shoot, the tallest about 10 inches high. Thn drove up the fancy new cement road to the

Pearson - 1995 19 Loteo Mirador de Puyehue. Lush meadows of daisy, red clover, amd buttercup. Up near the big cement water tank was a big clump of green vigorous big-leafed quila that had not bloomed. Then photoed in the forest. After lunch drove about 0.5km up the Antillanca road to the slope where Nicolas had showed us in 1993 the first little seedlings under a patch of dead quila. We looked in many places under the tangle of dead canes on this slope but at first found no seedlings, only a big orange nettle and new fuchsias. But then at one place we found 3 or 4 seedlings within a few yards of eachother. Maximum height was 15 inches, 5 or 6 culms including this year's shoot. Then walked salong the Pioneer Trail. Lots of unbloomed, narrow-leafed branched quila. At one place there were a dozen or more seedlings of big-leafed quila in the forest; they were bigger than the ones from Nicolas' place, with more culms. Photoed in the afternoon along the paved highway. Bamboo conclusons.- Almost all the big-leafed quila bloomed and died, but no new growth is visible unless you hunt for it in the dead tangles. We saw no evidence of seed dispersal. The narrow-leafed branched bamboo in the forest at Aguas Calientes did not bloom. It is almost surely another species. The dead canes still look highly flammable. A fire now would surely kill the seedlings, which have negligible rhizome development. December 10.- Left Aguas Calientes about 9:00. Sunny. Photos of farm and of dead quila climbing on blooming Notro. One place we stopped had a big clump 15 ft across of live, big-leafed quila surrounded by dead. No seedlings found. Flat tire between the border and Villa Angostura; new tire ruined. Lunch in Villa Angostura. Home to Bariloche about 5 p.m. Another brush fire burning on the east slope of Cerro Otto above the Pampa de Huenuleo. Last week's fire was said to have been set on purpose by poor people to make firewood available. December 11.- Bariloche. Sunny and warm in morning, cloudy in afteroon. Drove out to Pampa Quemada to look at bamboo, burned and unburned. Lots of tuco digging in both the burned and unburned areas. Didn't note any

Pearson - 1995 20 birds. Lots of tabanid flies. December 12- Sunny, warm. Drove up Cerro Otto to bamboo. Lots of tabanids. New shoots are coming up in the clump in the woods, but none out in the open at the other clump. The clump where I had cut off all the live canes at ground level last year now has five dead canes still standing, one 1.5m tall very leafy culm, and two pencil-thin new shoots 10 inches and 1 meter tall. These are skinnier than one would expect for this clump. We could see a burned area of many hectares down on the flats. Eileen and John came by. Their tucos are gettng hard to catch, wary. Juveniles starting to emerge are called back in by vocalizations from ?a parent? still down in the burrow. They love green thistle plants. John often sees a thistle disappear down a burrow. They have even caught one or more tucos by jamming their hand down behind a disappearing thistle. Eileen received a fax that one of her captves in Berkeley gave birth to triplets. The father had died earlier. 13 Decemeber.- Bariloche. Sunny warm. Went up to Piedra del Condor at Catedral on the Aerosilla. Lots of school kids in their snow suits, some snow drifts left. Saw condors and Rice Crispie droppngs of Euneomys chinchilloides under the fist rock I looked at near the top of the chair lift. A few more signs later. A few burrows and runways, but nothing that looked like good mordax habitat. Everything quite dry. Some lenga still emerging from the snow, lots of it very near the top. Saw a couple of lizards out near the top. Not cold, not windy. Reprints of the Key arrived from Ojeda. I should have insisted on reading proofs. 14 December.- Sunny warm. Visited Patrica Fierro and Jorge Vallerini. From her gardening experience in Bariloche Patrica says that the native plants are blooming about on schedule this year but that bulbs and introduced flowers are late. The winter was severe. She is just back from Torres de Paine etc. and says that down south they lost a half-millon sheep this past winter. 15 December.- Cloudy all day and very blustery in the late afternoon. Abel Basti came by to talk Hanta virus, then a

Pearson - 1995 21 photographer from his paper Manana del Sur. He says that El Bolson has over $3,000 available for Hanta studies but that bureaucracy has it tied up somehow. Michael Christie is back from Montana and reports that Eileen's captive tucos in Berkeley have produced two litters. His son Tommy and John were going to ride up into the high country on the Cuyin Manzano, but the manager says that the owners are coming to shoot deer and they dont want the deer spooked by campers; also, the good horses are reserved for the hunters. Then Nadia and Mariana came by. Nothing new on the Hanta front. They reported that when they were using fluorescent powder on the mice on their airport study plot, they saw Oryzomys climbing around up in rosa mosqueta bushes. Then JoAnne Flueck came by. She wants to do a study of the competition between red deer and huemul, for her thesis. She is encounterng non-cooperation fromm the Parques research people especially Chehebar. 16 December.- Clear, windy, 60. JoAnne came by with her two female "field assistants", one of whom had hiked to Refugio Frey from the bottom of the lifts at Cerro Catedral; 2 hours she said. Still a big snowfield of soft snow above the lake at Refugio Frey. They were all going tomorrow with horses up onto the Cuyin Manzano up the Rio Minero. 17 December.- Sunny and warm. Max temperature during the day was 80. Drove out to the Llao Llao peninsula. Bamboo shoots were up as much as .5m, but not many of them. Walked into the forest on a trail beginning across from the parkguard house. Lots of big old cipres and coihue trees. Lots of down tees, trail blocked at several places. The bamboo overhangs and occludes the trail also, but does not invade out onto the trail. Found a big dead Geoxus lying in the trail; crushed skull. Years ago I found another dead Geoxus in the trail on Cerro Otto. Maybe they have a shrewlike odor that repels carnivores? Several big old dead rosa mosqueta bushes in the middle of the forest. In other clearings in the forest, presumably where big trees or limbs had fallen, were younger rosa tangles. One or more brush fires still burning on Cerro Carbon and Cerro Otto. The paper says that there were

They have no evidence of more than one litter per year in sociabilis, nor survival of adults for more than one season. They suspect that some males might have solitary peripheral burrows. 18 December.- Minimum overnight 55. Sunny, warm.

Pearson - 1995 23 Bamboo October 31.- Clump A2 on Cerro Otto had 23 dead shoots, 22 of which were parasitized by the spiral larva. 16 yearling culms over lm, 3 of which had dead tops. A spherical Dromiciops nest was lying on the ground next to the clump. The nest was entirely bamboo leaves, no softer lining as in bird nests. Clump Al out in the open had 4 dead shoots; 2 of them with a strait furrow dug into it, 1 with spiral eating, and one not visibly parasitized. There were 17 yearling culms >lm. One tall one was broken off, another tall one seems to have been bitten off. I could not see incisor marks, however. A GPS reading about 100 m down hill from A2 (east) was 41*08.82,71*20.51, 1100m, 2.99km 065* from Bariloche Civic Center. November 1.- Llao Llao Peninsula. At our marked clump there were 11 living yearlings, 3 of them tall and very skinny. There were 25 dead shoots, 18 of them clearly eaten by larvae. Unlike Cerro Otto, many of these had straight vertical furrows rather than spiral furrows as at Otto. One 1-inch-diameter cane in our marked clump was broken off (a long split), and a big straight furrow went up the center of the culm. Location of this clump: 41*03.44, 71*33.82, 23.0km 112* to Bariloche. November 4.- La Veranada. Nire leaves just coming out, no new bamboo shoots up yet. Clump E2 location is 41*30.00, 71*27.86, 42.4km to Bariloche 018*. The clump looks just the same, 12 dead shoots, 9 of them parasitized, many of these with vertical furrows rather than spiral. 19 yearlings, 10 of them very skinny, one of them with a dead top not parasitized, another of them broken off at the base but no toothmarks. No new shoots yet. Clump E3 looked the same. 18 yearlings (2 of them skinny), 121 dead shoots, 100 of them clearly parasitized while they were still living (spiral tunneling, exit hole, etc.), 3 of them looking as though they had been bitten off near the base. Most of the tracks were spiral, unlike the dead shoots nearby at E2. [Insert: visited this clump on December 3 and found one more dead shoot, paratizized]. No new

No seedlings seen anywhere on the census route, although a few clumps of juveniles maybe 10 years old. At clump D1 th old dead canes that bloomed years ago are still standing but have only a few remaining stubs of branches. No new shoots; 1 dead shoot (spiral parasite), 1 yearling and it had a dead top. No seedlings. One culm marked as a yearling in '83- '84 was broken off about 2 ft up. I think it was a big borer, as in another similar culm in an adjacent clump. At Clump D1 there were no new shoots; 10 yearlings (1 of them with dead parasitized top with green branches, another one skinny). Two dead shoots that I looked at had spiral parasites. Amita says there were 2 more dead shoots but I did not record them. 3 December. La Veranada. Nire leaves fully out. Warm, sunny. New shoots at E2 and E3 are up 4 to 8 inches. Many clumps across the road on the way into the lenga forest look as though they are dying without bloomiung. Some culms with all leave dead. Other culms with onylGy a few live branches at each node, all the other branches dead. The ground is rather dry, but grass, dandelions, cacho de cabra etc. are nice and green. December 11.- Looked at our plant at Pampa Quemada, across the road from the burn. We had cut all the culms at ground level,to simulate fire-kill, but this was last year, which was just one year after the fire had killed almost all the ones across the road. Our clump had numerous very leafy culms up to a meter tall, and 6 or 7 new shoots finger-diameter up to a half meter. No leafy tangle down low. Across the road, the burned culmps consist of a dense leafy tangle up to half meter, which seems to consist of branches from the topmost unburned node near ground level and which came up the year of the fire. Then leafy culms up to 2 m tall, then new shoots of this year. The big difference between the burned and the cut seems to be that the burned plants sent up a mat of branches from top nodes. Lots of tuco diggings.

Pearson - 1996 1 JOURNAL 25 October- Just made the noon plane to Bariloche. The steppe and the mallines are not green. We flew over the bridge over the Rio Pichi Leufu and over the casco of Estancia El Condor but saw not a single sheep or cow. The notro and the lilacs in Bariloche are in full bloom, which is early for them. To bed early. 26 October- Scattered drizzle, not cold. Shopping at Todo and investigating planes and rental cars for Carol and CJ. The winter season was with little snow, some unusually warm spells. The mountains have less than the usual amount of snow, in spite of a snowfall that reached down into Bariloche only a week or so ago. The excitement here is all about five recent fatalities from Hanta Virus, all within the last few weeks. Four of them from El Bolson, one from Bariloche. One Buenos Aires family in El Bolson lost the grandmother, her 40-yr-old son, and the family maid. The Bariloche case was a 30-year-old male teacher who had not been to El Bolson but who had bought firewood from there. These were not humildes living in cardboard shacks. Everyone is avoiding El Bolson and its fruits and veggies and jams etc, and there is a frenzy of cleaning with Lavandina (Chlorox). The newspapers say "una fiebre de limpieza". The newspapers also show two baby South American Condors being raised at the Buenos Aires Zoo, for release in the wild. Someone, at last, seems to be concerned about the future of the condors. 27 October- Sunny and mild.

Pearson - 1996 2 student of Veblen's who is working on the fire cycle in Cipres and Nothofagus (Tommy Keithburger). Peter Feinsinger is in town. In the afternoon drove down the Rio Limay road to the tuco place at 10 km north of the outlet of Nahuel Huapi. The fire last January had burned everything west of the road but nothing east of the road. The ridge along the road where we used to catch sociabilis had been burned, and we could find no tuco burrows in it. There was considerable green grass, but the bunchgrasses and the neneo had been burned. Many of them were however, sprouting anew. Chacay trees had been killed, the willows seem to have escaped. The grove where Eileen Lacey camps was pretty much untouched. On the east side of the road, nothing had burned, the vegetation was lush (but not green), lots of Reithrodon sign. Could not find any tuco sign on this side of the road either, but we did not look out in Eileen's meadow. There is a new irrigation ditch dug across her meadow, runnning, apparently, from the River north to the Estancia on the east side of the road. There had been a ditch there before, but it has been enlarged. Stopped to see Michael Christie, but he is incomunicado taking a 2-day course. Patricia Fierro came by. Heavy frost last week that killed tops of fuchsia bushes in her garden, etc. This was after the snow of last week. Otherwise, the season is unusually advanced (warm). Met Werner Flueck on the street. He seems to be involved mostly with building his house on Lake Gutierrez. 29 October- Sunny and mild, not windy. Went up Cerro Otto and visited our two bamboo clumps there. The lenga leaves are completely out, the calafate Berberis is blooming and the big-leafed Berberis percei. No snow, hardly any earth cores. There must have been very little snow. There seem to be the usual number of tuco mounds. Bamboo clump A1 out in the open had numerous yearling culms but no new shoots yet. The single cipres nearby was covered with tiny cones. Many pines are growing up nearby, and one Douglas Fir. The pines seem to be naturally seeded, perhaps from the biggish individual along the "road" directly above the bamboo clump. These are all 5-needle pines, growing very

Mature cones are about 8 inches long. Farther up the hill are more firs. There used to be a row of big firs along the road to the ski place, but they blew down in a storm something like ten years ago. Clump A2 in the forest had one new shoot only 3 inches tall; only a few yearlings. Clara Bosch, our apartment sitter, came by. She is unemployed, may not be able to pay the apartment expenses in the future. She told about numerous fires last summer, and the absence of a winter here. 30 October - Temperature mild, the last few days have stayed between 45 and 68, sunny. The Hanta virus continues to be front page news. The first fatality in Bariloche was a school teacher. Today there was said to be a demonstration by school children to make sure that their schools had been made safe before they would return to classes. Abel Basti came by. He is still a reporter for La Manana del Sur, had an article on Hanta in today,s issue, complete with a photo of Nadia Guthmann trapping at El Bolson. Vandals have been stealing and stompiing traps in El Bolson. The town of Jacobacci is thinking of closing the road from El Bolson to prevent the epidemic from spreading to their town. What with forest fires, the absence of snow in the ski season, the subsequent drought, the ozone hole, and the Hanta virus, the economy is in danger, especially in El Bolson. People won't even buy products from there. Gustvo Iglesias came by, wants me to contact Teresita at the Diario Rio Negro to talk mice. A student from the states is arriving soon to study the effect of ultra-violet light on amphibians. The Chalhuaco frog survived the forest fire there, which did not seem to enter very far into the lenga forest. Then we visited Arturo Tarak, who is living, once again, out on his chacra east of town, working in the Civic Center. He is Director of Planning and Development for Parques, has moved his operation here from BA. Michael Christie came by at 9:30. He has found a couple of good amberat deposits, and visited my mima

Nadia had been using 400 traps at El Bolson, caught a few dozen mice which were sent to Pergamino for testing for Hanta virus. Someone did indeed destroy something like 50 Sherman traps. Mariana has been ill. They have been cooperating on a study of owl pellets from the airport. Rapaport was there, and Barbara, and Tom Keithberger the Veblen fire-cycle student. He is married to a geneticist at ECOTONO and the University (Andrea). Patricia Fierro came by in the afternoon. 1 November - Day started out sunny and mild, then clouded up about noon and drizzle in the afternoon, but temperature mild and not windy. Drove to La Veranada in the morning and looked at the two bamboo clumps- but forgot to take the marking pens. Then back to Bariloche. The scores of sport cars involved in the Mil Miles race accompanied us south. Just before the drizzle stopped the weather turned much colder, even a few snow flurries. 2 November - New snow on the mountains. Overnight minimum 42, day 40-55. Went out to Llao Llao and checked the bamboo clump. Still the sports car rally, centered at the Hotel Llao Llao. Nobody in the forest. More big coihues have fallen. Dinner with Tom Keithberger and his wife Andrea. He is a Veblen student, studying fire cycles in the forests here (University and Ecotono), and she is a genetecist hoping to study population genetics of the Nothofagus (and bamboo??). She is from Salta, but they lived in Boulder Colorado for several years. He was a Kravetz student. He says that last year, and maybe earlier, there was a spectacular die-back of nire caused by an insect. Also a masting of the lenga in Tierra del Fuego that was accompanied by a great outbreak of mice. Andrea's project sounds very much like Dick Sage's oak project. She is doing electrophoresis at ECOTONO. 3 November- Overnight minimum 42. Sunny. Drove up to Catedral to see the results of a big fire last January. Lots of scrubby nire/retamo/cana burned.

The bamboo was "killed", but new green is coming up, which consists of clusters of branchlets sprouting from the uppermost surviving node (which is underground). Some new culms have formed on the rhizomes and are about to appear above ground. Across the road from the Catedral ski complex there is a fringe of unburned scrub nire with a lot of dead tops. When you look at them, many stems have been gnawed open by rodents to reveal an insect tunnel within. Saw one fresh small-rat-sized burrow nearby. Left three traps there while we lunched at the ski complex. Still empty when we picked them up about 2 p.m. 4 November - Scattered clouds but temperature mild. Stood in line to pay bills around town. Debil all day. 5 Novomber - Drizzly rainy all day. Temperature in 50s. Eileen and John arrived, and their two Uruguayan field assistants: Alexandra and Ivana. Their tuco mallin did not burn and has lots of tucos in it. They had stopped at Mar del Plata to see Christina Busch's setup, and saw Ctenomys talarum. They were impressed by how small talarum is. 6-November - Bariloche. Painted car and balcony, errands around town. Debil all day. Sr. Marful of Estancia La Fragua came by; he had seen my photo in the paper and phoned them to get my address. He wanted to tell me that he had news of the rare marsupial that I had told him about years ago (Lestodelphys). The Administrador of the neighboring Estancia, San Ramon, (Carlos Lamouniere), cousin? of Chulenga, had encountered last year a nest of marsupials in a hollow trunk near, I think, Lago Puelo. They were all dead (=hibernating?), presumably Dromiciops. Marful told about seeing Patton and Eileen and Peg out at La Fragua last year. His ranch headquarters seems to no longer be at the schoolhouse but about 5 km farther out the Pilcaniyeu road. He has trouble with tuco- tucos eating his carrots. He had had a fire also on his estancia. His health is not good (emphysema) and he no longer runs many sheep. Some cattle. He says that Patagonia used to support 40 million sheep; now only 13 million, and the Province of Santa Cruz is practically abandoned.

Pearson - 1996 6 7 November - Bariloche. Morning cool and overcast, then sunny. I was invited up the street to the office of the Public Health people to talk with them about mice. They (Mariani? et al.) were veterinarians or similar, but somewhat knowledgeable about mice. The morning paper had finally reported results of tests on 37 mice caught at Lago Puelo, and 7 of them, all Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, were positive for Hanta Virus. So now colilargos and rosa mosqueta are in the news. Of 68 mice from El Bolson, none were positive (nothing said about what species). A new case of Hanta Virus has been reported from Chile just a few kms from Lago Puelo.. I think I was being manipulated, since they produced a television commentator and photographer while I was there. They are on the spot to do something about the "epidemic" and were using me to demonstrate that they were leaving no stone unturned. They intimated that Dra. Enria's Institute of Virologia in Pergamino is under the wing of the Instituto Malbran, run by anothe Dra., and that there may be a territorial dispute between the two Institutes. Javier Bellati came by and left a reprint of his raptor census, finally in print in the Anales Mus. Hist. Nat Valparaiso 23:63. About 3 p.m. drove out to Laguna de los Juncos, and then to Marful's upper ranchouse above the La Fragua Canyon. The Laguna is not competely full, but it had 50 to 100 Flamingos. The steppe south of the Laguna had a lot of tuco sign, a few Reithrodon droppings. Marful's meadow was very dry. I saw only one set of Reithro burrows, at the bottom of a depression, and one or more sets of tuco digs. I don't remember seeing tucos before out in the meadow. A lot of tuco diggings between the railroad and the road. Many hare droppings, very few Reithrodon droppings. Perhaps the flooding 4? years ago drowned them out and they have not yet recovered. Sunny with scattered clouds. 8 November - Bariloche, sunny, warm. Chehebar came by to talk about Hanta Virus. Parques is putting together a pamphlet modelled on one from the USA and wanted to know whether campers should prepare differently here than in Peromyscus country in the USA.

Pearson - 1996 7 paperwork because La Riviere himself must approve the trapping of rare or endangered species, and Octodon has been so declared in Lanin. Since it does not officially exist yet in Parque Nahuel Huapi, no special permit is needed. Then the two young guys from the 4th Public Health District came by and wanted me to meet with their boss at 2 p.m. Then Lorenzo Sympson came by. He is working as a free lance tour arranger and guide. Fishing, wildlife, ranching. You tell him what you want to do and he chooses an Estancia for you to visit. He is pushing especially a fly-fishing lodge: La Esperanza Valley Fly-fishing Lodge. You get there either by plane to their own landing strip, or by crossing Lago Puelo by boat and then riding several hours by horse. It has gotta be on the way to Dr.Venzano;s famous glacier with the frozen mice in it. Lorenzo says Estancia La Primavera has indeed been sold, to Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. They did not buy the LaRiviere brother's estancia across the Traful River. Lorenzo is involved in a condor study just starting up, headed by someone from Univ. Calif. in Santa Cruz. At 1:30 the local miserable Channel 6 ran my interview about mice and Hanta Virus. Then I went up to IV Zona Sanitaria, area de Salud Ambiental, Gustavo Cantoni el responsable. Dr. Eduardo Herrera, Omar Orellana, and chofer Mario drove me out to km 7.5 to where the teacher Ruiz and his wife lived (Hanta fatalities). The Health people had set 140 Shermans there, but caught only one mouse (an Oligoryzomys I believe). A steep hillside with cipres, radal, retama; some rosa mosqueta down in the bottom of the canyon. Then they showed me where Ruiz's wife may have contracted the virus. It is in at the edge of a housing development south of the Hipodromo called Barrio 2 de Agosto. Her house was at the edge of a dump full of branches, plaster, broken tile, cans and bottles, etc. Not much "food", and no chimangos or gulls hanging around. They want me to see what I can catch nearby. Anita and I went out with traps at 6 p.m. Quite a few people and traffic, so a bit iffy leaving traps there. I put 20 Museum Specials and 20 Shermans in the chapparal north of the dump (called "Enfrenta La

Saw no mouse sign, but it is certainly good cover. Anita put 20 and 20 traps also through similar habitat nearby. Then we set about 15 Shermans and 3 steel traps through and around the periphery of the dump. I should guess that almost all of our traps are within 400 m of the dump or the virus house. Still no sign of rats or mice. 9 November - Went out to the Hipodromo to pick up our traps at 8 o'clock. Considerable frost at the Hipodromo. One house mouse in the 21 traps in the trash dump, which covers about 1 ha. In the 80 traps (Shermans and MS alternating) in the brush caught 2 Akodon. Both were adult males and both looked like hybrids between xanthorhinus and olivaceus. Very little xantho color, tail intermediate length. Killed all three and delivered them to the IV District health people. Their traps at km 7.5, which had caught one mouse the day before, caught 5 mice. They said that some of them were Oligoryzomys. Our trapping area, Barrio 2 de Agosto, is south of the Llao Llao route back the road that goes to the Jockey Club, which is west of the race track. Adam Hajduk came by at lunch time. He ran a big Archeology meeting here at the Hotel Sol and is about to host some visiting physical anthropologists who want to work on material that he has in his house, from up near Chos Malal. Went to a slide show in the evening by Bechis, with music by Chehebar and others; Argentina from La Quiaca to Antartida. Splendid slides, two projectors. 10 November - Drove out to La Veranada and marked yearling culms in the two bamboo clumps. Mostly sunny, warm. Shirtsleeves weather even with the sun behind a cloud. Some of the nire trunks, about 5 or 6 inches diameter, are recently excavated by magellanica woodpeckers, even down 2 or 3 feet from the ground. The trees themselves alive, but many with dead tops. The lenga up on the hill have dead tops also. A chimango came and waited for lunch scraps while we were eating back in the nires. Temp in Bariloche up to 71. Then drove out to the trapping site on the road to Colonia Suiza: 15 km W Bariloche, 2.8 km west of the

Pearson - 1996 bridge over the Rio Casa de Piedras. I set 46 traps alternating MS and Shermans, and Anita set 40 in MS/Serman pairs. Habitat ungrazed green grass meadows surrounded by trees and forest and containing islands of scrub such as rosa mosqueta, Berberis, chaura. Nires, some with llao llaos, a few bamboo clumps along the stream. Set until 8:30, then camped there. Many not-very-aggressive mosquitoes at dusk and persisiting through the night. Started to drizzle before 10 and continued off and on all night. 11 November - Morning broken clouds. Anita's line had 7 Akodon longipilis, 1 Geoxus, and 1 Auliscomys. (3 longi and 1 Geoxus in snap traps). My line had 6 Ako longi, 2 Aulisco, 2 Akodon olivaceus, and 1 very big Oligoryzomys. (1 Ako long, 1 Aulisco, both Ako oliv, and the Oligorzymos were in snap traps). Also many small slugs. This locality is at the southeast corner of Lago Perito Moreno, which puts it about 2 km southwest of the home and trash dump at Barrio 2 de Agosto (and across the Rio Casa de Piedras). Then delivered our catch to the 4th Sanitary Zone. Michael Christie came by at 9 p.m. with photos of various amber deposits. One crevice near the little bat cave at Laguna los Juncos (around the hill to the right) has a mouse-sized hole at the top of the amber deposit. Liz and Tony Barnosky plus 2 children plus baby-sitter arrive tomorrow. 12 November - Temp mild, mostly sunny; 40-65. Liz and Tony arrived; Christie is showing them around. Liz has permission from Ted Turner to work on Estancia La Primavera (with restrictions). 12 November - Bariloche. Overnight low 42. Another fatality from Hanta Virus. How come so many fatalities at a time when the Oligoryzomys population is so low? 13 November - Bariloche. Went out to Laguna de los Juncos to see Christie's amberat in the crevice to the right of the bat night-roosting cave. Sunny, very windy. Set 9 Shermans, 4 cage, and 2 steel traps near the crevice, then drove up to the lower end of the Canyon La Fragua. The gate to the Microwave Tower was locked, so we camped nearby between the road and the railroad. Someone has been cutting big willows there. Saw about two Condors at sunset. No hares on the road.

Pearson - 1996 10 14 November - Night clear, spectacular stars. No dew or frost. Picked up the traps at 8 a.m.; not touched. There are many viscaccia droppiings in places, Phyllotis droppings, and Euneomys droppings. Some Ephedra near the crevice. Picked up 4 owl pellets at the crevice, plus some scraps of other mice. The presence of Euneomys pellets up on shelves in the crevices and nearby makes me wonder if Euneomys eating Ephedra might be the beast that formed the amber, rather than Phyllotis. Euneomys was abundant during the time the amber was being deposited in those other caves for which we have dates. Home for lunch. Joined by Eileen, John, and their two girl helpers from Enrique Lessa's lab in Uruguay. They are radio- tracking about 10 sociabilis. The pellet material from the amber crevice contained: 4 Oligoryzomys, 3 Auliscomys, 1 Akodon xanthorhinus, 4 Akodon longipilis, 3 Reithrodon, and 1 unknown. No Euneomys. Patricia Fierro came at teatime, then Christie came by at 8:30 to return a trap he had found today out at Los Juncos. He visited the region with Liz Barnosky. They saw a pair of barn owls at the rock outcrop. They want to go caving up under the big condor cliff. He saw a few condors. Temp last 24 hours 48-69. 15 November - Bariloche. Clear; overnight minimum 50. 16 November - Bariloche. Clear, warm. Drove out to the Hipodromo, then took the old dirt road to the west that ends up at Lago Trebol. Goes through wild country, much of it with no houses, good for trapping. When we came to the end of the road at Lago Trebol, a road race was on and we were stuck for about an hour while 50 snarling Fiats and Renaults, etc. screeched past, spaced a few minutes apart. Then headed home on the road past Colonia Suiza. We actually drove through downtown Colonia Suiza, but nothing there. Then ran into anotheer roadblock because of another segment of the road-race, so had to return to Bariloche via the Lake front. Nice grove of old pines, Monterey? cypresses, etc near where the back road emerges at Lago Trebol. Clara Bosch's brother lives there. Then drove out to Laguna Los Juncos and stopped at Marful's two houses, but gate locked at both of

Ended up camping at the First Summit (overlooking the Cerro Villegas mallin), which was full of splendid white- face cattle. Anita put out 26 Shermans and 2 steel traps between the road and the fence, in fairly bare, scattered bush habitat. I put 32 Shermans running from the fence up the hill through scattered cipres to the rock outcrop at the top of the hill. Mostly bare rocky scree, Colletia bushes, Berberis, big Palo Pichi, Ephedra, and cipres trees. Very little grass; no signs of grazing in recent years. Quite windy. Only my last few traps were among the big rocks at the top of the hill, where one would expect to catch Phyllotis. There is a fairly large rock overhang there, with a stash of firewood, lots of sheep droppings, but no owl pellets and saw no amber. 17 November - Slept under the cipres above the road, expecting the wind to die down after sunset. It didn't. We were buffeted in our sleeping bags all night, but not cold. No frost. My traps had 8 Ako longipilis, 1 Auliscomys, 1 Eligmodontia. Anita's traps had 5 Ako longi, 1 Auliscomys, and 6 short-tailed Eligmodontia. Some of the Ako longi looked small, young?. Warm winter? It would not have seemed to be good habitat for Auliscomys, or for Ako longi. Trap success 38%!! 18-November - Oswaldo Ramirez, the Peruvian working for a PhD with Milton Gallardo, showed up in the late afternoon to look at the three specimens of Aconaemys sagei that I had brought down for him. He reports that Milton has a girl student working on the post-quila- bloom ratada. She is working out at the San Martin study site, and so are Murua and Gonzales, but there is no communication between the two groups. 19 November - Ramirez continued his inspection of the Aconaemys. He seems to think that there is enormous variation within groups of specimens from any one locality, and is not sure that there are indeed three species as postulated by Gallardo and Reise. He thinks more karyotypes are needed, especially in the north where sagei and fuscus may meet. Milton's specimens of sagei from Quillen are all juveniles. Went to Parques to see if they could locate the specimen of sagei that I left with them. They thought

Pearson - 1996 it might be up at the University under the care of Dora Grigera, but I didnt go look for it. Chehebar, Monica, Miguel Gross, and Gustavo Iglesias were all there. Gustavo wants a modem and more memory for the laptop computer that I gave him. In the afternoon Julietta von Thungen came by (after a dentist appointment upstairs). She had been in Cordoba for a while taking a course of some sort, and was just back from the SAREM meetings in San Luis. Lots of attendance. She led a workshoop on Managment, Conservation and Economic importance of the Carnivores in Argentina. Jim Kenagy is listed in the program. Julietta is still at INTA, as is Bonino, and is involved in a guanaco program. They are shearing guanacos and hope to start a cottage industry. Her family has abandoned their Estancia in Santa Cruz Province, as have many other estancieros. The eruption of Volcan Hudson was the last straw. The sheep were already weak from years of drought; the ashfall covered up or absorbed the available surface water. She agreed that there are not many hares squashed on the roads. She thinks the condors are pretty much restricted to this side of the steppe; she sees them at Pilcaniyeu but not much east of there. She says they are always at La Fragua, and often at the Buitrero up the Rio Nirihuao. 19 November - Morning cloudy but then sunny. Liz and Tony Barnosky came by. With Michael they found a good cave on the east? face of the condor cliff at Lago de los Juncos. Lots of owl pellets in it, but access was difficult because San Ramon had failed to find a key to the gate giving access, so they had to hike up past Marful's. They also hiked around the massif containing the bat cave across the road from Lago Los Juncos and found some good deposits on the back side, including bat droppings. Saw barn owls. Liz described what sounded like a Gerrhonauetes nest on the condor cliff. Their babysitter is terrified of the Hanta virus, the water, the vegetables, etc. Liz says that Brian Hjelle from Albuquerque is coming to El Bolson tomorrow? or soon.

He was up on all the latest cases, which victim lived where in El Bolson and Lago Puelo, etc. He also reported that the bamboo was blooming at Lago Lolog! 20 November - Sunny and warm. Went up to the office of the 4th Sanitary District to get a report on Hanta virus in our specimens, but no one was there who knew anything. At 2 p.pm. went up to the University to a conference arranged by Queeny Von Broock concerning the Hanta Virus situation. Her position is that Universities are supposed to help solve social problems, and the government certainly needs help with the Hanta virus problem. Six University people were there, including Carmen Ubeda and Sanchez, plus Michael Christie. All sorts of details came out about the fatalities, and there was almost agreement that the virus can be transmittd person-to-person. Christie made a strong case for this virus being much more contagious than the one in the USA. There was no concensus as to what could be done about the situation. Already the Virus Lab in Pergamino, the Instituto Malbran, the 4th Sanitary District, the Provincial Public Health people, and the National Public Health people are involved. Is there room for more? Fortunately, Brian Hjelle from New Mexico is arriving in Argentina today, and probably will come to Bariloche and El Bolson. Someone says that people from the CCD in Atlanta are coming also, but there are a lot of rumors and a lot of accusations of cover-up by officials. The Lago Lolog bamboo report came from Ricardo Sosa who was said to be at the Clb Andino. We went to look for him there, but they didnt know where he was.

Pearson - 1996 14 Instead, we talked to middle-aged Sr. Goye who remembers various bits of bamboo lore from the 1930s and from his father. He says that the Lago Lolog bloom is just scattered clumps in bloom. Then Michael Christie came by to continue the Hanta discussion. He may have been responsible for getting Hjelle to come here. He says that the Sanatorio San Carlos is paying the bill. It is the clinic where several of the Hanta victims seem to have contracted the disease. Nobody in Bariloche will go there anymore. 22 November - Partly cloudy, windy. Drove down to Rincon Grande to see Eileen et al. Quite windy. They were lying out in the mallin trying to catch and radio tag the female of a pair of tucos. The burned areas are looking greener, the dead bunchgrass clumps are sending out new culms around their periphery, and there are innumerable islands of smartweed a couple of meters across. The Ralph family arrived. 23 November - Went out to the Llao Llao Hotel with Michael Christie to talk wit Drs. Hjelle and Simpson. Michael failed to convince them that there could be person-to- person contagion by the Hanta virus. I gave them a summary of life history notes on Oligoryzomys. I also gave copies to the 4th Santiary District. Then met the Ralphs by chance in the bamboo forest while we were showing Hjelle the sights. 24 November - To Tronador with the Ralphs. Silvana, the park guard at Pampa Linda, said that camping was not allowed at Rio Castano Overo and that the road was closed. We camped along the river at Pampa Linda in a nice, approved campsite. Then we drove up to the Ventisquero Negro, which is much reduced from 1993 when we were here with Peg Smith. Then went up to the end of the road at the cirque, then back to camp where I set 15 Shermans, about 6 of them baited with meat, the rest oatmeal. Many set at the base of hollow ni res hoping to catch Dromiciops, the others around Berberis islands. Day sunny and clear. 25 November - Nothing in traps. Hiked back to the Rio Castano Overo, then up to our old study site across the river and up the hill. One clump of bamboo was flowering on the lower edge of our study site, the

Crossing the river was exciting, and the road in was probably not navigable without 4-wheel drive. A few tabanos. Peter and Duncan hiked up to the Refugio. Temperature in Bariloche was a record 24.7, and in Viedma 39. Home to Bariloche at 8 p.m. 26 Noveember - Bariloche max-min at our apartment had been 45-79. Helped CJ find a new rubber seal for the back door of his van. Drove out to the Condor cliffs at Laguna de los Juncos. Peter and Duncan climbed up to the very top of the rock spires, approaching from the west along the ridge. 15 condors circled overhead, perhaps disturbed by Peter and Duncan. Carol and CJ walked up to the base of the cliff. Anita and I studied the perfectly preserved old railroad station, Perito Moreno, and waited to photo the train due at 3:15, but it never came, of course. No rabbits squashed on the road. 27 November - Went up the gondola at Cerro Catedral with the Ralphs. Almost no snow. Saw several condors, very few if any Euneomys droppings. Sunny, warm, clear. 28 November - Cloudy, a few sprinkles. Jim Mills has arrived in El Bolson to look over the Hanta virus situation. Liz Barnosky came by. She is ecstatic about the small mammal deposits that she is finding on the Jones ranch. You go through the upper Fortin Chacabuco to get to the cave on the Jones ranch. Thousands of mouse jaws. Gave a talk at Club Andino on mice of the region. They were especially interested in Oligoryzomys and the Hanta virus. Invited by Barrata, who lives across the street. Then dinner at Alberto's with Christie, Liz, Tony, their 2 kids and Jade the babysitter, Eileen, John, and their two Uruguayan helpers. 29 November - Did 9 owl pellets picked up by John near Liz's cave (see list). Also, John picked up at the base of the cliff a hystricognath maxilla that looks like guinea pig with white incisors. It was on the surface right at Liz's dig but well back uner a low overhang. Then Liz came by and invited us out to her dig. She had seen what she thought were 2 Huemul, and when she told Parques they were all excited and wanted to go at once to check it out. So we went at 3 pm with

Fortin Chacabuco, then through Alto Fortin (Conrad Bailey's new domain with its new Casco in a glorious setting), then to a cliff om the Jones Estancia. Quite a drive followed by a 2 or 3 km hike across a lush, sometimes swampy meadow. A few groves of nires, a few maitenes, Juncus, lots of Berberis clumps, Senecio, neneo, Baccharis, Colletia, violets. Near their tent a few of the islands of Berberis had rich dirt piled up underneath; no open holes but the earth mounds open up into smallish tunnels. We left 7 Shermans set in rocks at the bottom of the cliff at Liz's dig site, and 3 Shermans at the Berberis islands at her tent, and two steel traps at the earth mounds in those Berberis clumps. On the way home we saw red deer and one guanaco. Geraldo had been looking for huemul sign. A Puestero told him that there were 4 Dama deer thereabouts and that Liz probably had seen them. We saw one set of tuco burrows in a rocky steppe habitat on the way up the hill, but no signs of tucos in the big mallin that we walked across. Too wet, I presume. Conrad had recently dug some drainage/irrigation ditches across it; I presume they connect with a shallow lake at the west end of the mallin. Our owl cliff that we call Tehuel Malal is visible across its mallin to the south, only a few kilometers away. Sunny and warm all day. 30 November - Sunny and warm. Looked through some of the material from Liz's cliff. In three vials of mouse skulls and mandibles that she had picked from the "Surface Layer" containing perhaps 20 to 30 items, there were Auliscomys, Ako longi., Oryzomys, Reithrodon, tuco, Eligmodontia, and Euneomys; similar to John's fresh pellet collection except for the Euneomys. She had also left a sac of 10 pounds of 8-mesh screen material which was mostly rock chips, but Anita sorted through about a pound of it and separated out charcoal, stems, droppings, junk skeletal material, mandibles, and crania. It was from level 2, which she says is below the hare layer and the sheep layer (maybe 10 inches deep). It had most of the above species including a Euneomys. Some of the droppings look like Lagidium, other large ones are too

Later I did 3 more vials from the "Surface". Same diversity as before plus an Irenomys and a tuco. A total of maybe 40 animals. Note: no Phyllotis. Liz had separated out a vial of smallish droppings that were Phyllotis/Euneomys size, coarse, almost lumpy. Under the dissecting scope they contained numerous flakes that look like chitin, plus tiny bristles, but there were no legs or antennae or other insect parts, and no "vegetation" such as grass or leaves. I think they might be seed husks. But who made them? 1 December - Overnight low 53. Day sunny and warm. The almost-sperical droppings too big in diameter for Lagidium contain vegetable fibers, as do elongate Lagidium-like droppings. Waiting for Sage. Christie came by; he had been out to Liz's dig again. Our traps held only one Akodon longipilis (10 Shermans and 2 steel traps). 2 December - Max-min 65-40. Partly cloudy. Dick Sage arrived 4 p.m. Immediately, Liz and Tony and Nadia Guthman arrived. She had won a prize with one of her sculptures. Her traps at El Bolson czught 7 Oligoryzomys that were positive for Hanta virus (25% of all the Oligos), plus some Akodon olivaceus and A. longipilis. I think the total catch was 39. Liz and Tony report that our 10 Shermans at their cliff caught 2 more longipilis, one Phyllotis, and one Oligoryzomys juvenile down near their tent at one of the Berberis clumps. One of the two steel traps set at tuco diggings in Berberis clumps was sprung empty. Unfortunately, they are finished working there. They brought the live Oryz with them and left it here; the Phyllotis got away, very lively they say, it jumped out of the bucket, but they got photos. Said itlooked like a woodrat. 3 December - Nadia Guthman came by. Her trapping at Lago Puelo did indeed catch 7 Oligoryzomys positive for Hanta, 22 other Oligos, and 10 more Akodon olivaceus and longipilis. Her thesis committee is on hold. We went to Chalhuaco with Dick Sage. Road and bridges in good shape. The fire on the lower slopes was impressive. Big areas of burned pines, some of

Up at the Refugio everything was OK. The lone bamboo clump along the Lake trail had many new tall yearling culms, the entire clump was much bigger and healthier than the last time we saw it (when it had been browsed by hares or elk or cows). Then we walked up to the Mirador, accomapnied by the caretaker's cat, which caught two lizards on the way and attracted numerous birds which mobbed it. A Magellanic woodpecker paid no attention to it. Then Patricia Fierro came by. She wondered if we wanted to trap on Isla Huemul. The concessioneer wants to be able to say tha the Isla is Hanta-free. We arranged to set traps over saturday night, but then Jim Mills phoned from El Bolson and wants to come to Bariloche Friday or Saturday, so we cancelled out of the Isla Huemul trip. I talked to Mills on the phone and he is catching very few mice at El Bolson. Is going to trap Lago Puelo tomorrow, and then maybe trap near Bariloche. 4 December - Left 2 p.m. for Dolly Frey's across the Lake. Tommy Christie led the way in his jeep. At Dolly's house we visited with her in her house/museum with arrow heads etc. and a couple of dead mice, then transferred all our stuff into the jeep and drove on up to the Refugio at 1300m. It is by a stream in overmature lenga forest on the edge of a meadow. The forest has lots of heavily browsed bamboo, and lots of Berberis percei. There is a cabin, but Dolly had forgtotten the combination lock numbers. Lots of firewood already cut. Sage, Anita, and I put out traps. My line was in pure lenga forest across the meadow from camp, which is where I think Eileen et al cought their Octodon last year: 10 steel jump traps and 20 Shermans. Also 4 more jump traps nearer camp including one under the cabin. My forest had oodles of fallen logs, heavy browsing by horses, no elk droppings seen. Sage set on the slope between the meadow and the stream down to the southeast with much more vegetaion such as chaura, bamboo, and some Berberis calafate type; lots of logs. He set 10 jump traps, 18 Shermans, and 10 snap traps. Anita had two lines, one around an old log corral below camp, not

lines, one around an old log corral below camp, Berberia calafate type; lots of jodas. He set up jump more vegetation such as chaulx, stuxus, and some down to the southernmost with much wood of fallen logs, heavy browsing by horses, no elk including one under the cabin. My forest had codles and 30 Shermanas. Also 4 more jump traps nearer camp caught their Ootobonk tribe in last years' trap jump which is where I think Elleen and I caught them. My line was in pure leaf forest across the firewood's ready cut. Sage, Avicella, and I had put out forest lock numbers. There is a cabin, but Dolly had to lots of trees, oodhad bearded yilvily to edge and forest overmeasure land for years on the edge of a 10 acre lot. up to the Refugio at $1300m. If it is by a stream in transferred all our stuff into the jeep and we avoided arrows, etc., and a couple of dead mice, then with house/museum/village while Dolly's jeep in his way. 4 December - left 2 p.m. for Dolly Frey's across the lake.

Pearson - 1996 19 much vegetaion, and the other line above camp with ore bushes (unidentified); her total: 5 steel traps, 20 snap traps, and 20 Shermans. Total of all traps was 117. Weather was sort of drizzly. Tommy thought that the unidentified bush around thge meadowmight be Veronica. 5 December - Drizzle most of the night. Anita's line caught 2 Chelemys, 2 Akodon longipilis, and 1 Auliscomys. My line caught 1 longgipilis. Sage's line caught 5 Auliscomys, and 6 longipilis. Total 17 mice. During the day Anita and I walked up the ridge across the stream through great lenga forest. First with bamboo understory, then Berberis percei. Quite open. The bamboo stopped at about 1400m elevation. The upper limit of bamboo was in the lenga forest. We stopped at a point where the forest opened up into a meadow with neneo and Acaena, but there was still lenga higher up. Dick hiked up high, above the forest looking for a lake, and set 10 steel traps in a rocky place and at a place with what seemed to be tuco burrows. He got back just before dark. Drizzle off and on all day. I checked my traps at 5 p.m: nothing. I had pulled 6 of the jump traps to give Dick some before he took off for the high country. 6 December - Some sun in the morning. During the night Sage saw a fox and a hare in the meadow. My shortenend trapline had 1 longipilis, Anita had 1 Auliscomys (or Akodon olivaceus), and 1 Chelemys. Sage's line near camp had 1 Chelemys, 1 Geoxus, and 2 longipilis. His line of 5 jump traps up the mountain in the rocky cliff caught one Auliscomys that was partially eaten incluiding the brain; the 4 traps in tuco burrows caught nothing. Today's total catch 7 mice. All traps picked up and broke camp. Tommy arrived at noon and we drove down to Dollly Frey's house, then down to her garden where she was at work. She has planted some Fuchsias and Gunnera from Chile there and they have survived, plus a nice garden of flowers plus peas and strawberries and rhubarb etc, She has lots of trouble with mice that she describes as like a mole. She was using some European traps for moles, without much success. Left a Museum Special with her. We saw no amancay on this trip.

Pearson - 1996 20 Then back to Bariloche to look for Jim Mills. Nadia came by to fill us in on his plans, but he didnt show up. 7 December - Fixed flat tire, skinned mice, then lunch with Jim Mills and Rachel Wells. He said that trap success was poor at El Bolson but good at Lago Puelo. He was rather non-committal about Hanta Virus. Nobody had trapped at the Nassif House in El Bolson where 4 people apparently had contracted the virus. He apparently is on his way to Buenos Aires, then to the States, but Rachel will return to Bariloche to continue epidemiological interviews. She is having trouble contacting the necessary people, and then communicating with them. Later, Christie came by, then Werner and JoAnne Flueck. Werner has been contracted to census red deer on Estancia Chacabuco. 8 December - Drizzle overnight, cloudy all day. Drove out past the airport toward Estancia Condor, then up the Nirihuaq Valley to the Buitrero cliff on Establecimiento El Desafio. Saw an Asio owl in the steppe close to the airport. [Note that we found a dead owl in the pine trees at the airport a few years ago, and Nadia Guthman and another lassie up at the University claimed they were collecting pellets from a third species at the airport]. The dirt road up the valley was quite good, relatively ungrazed, and some of it with plantations of Ponderosa pines 3 to 6 feet tall, not growing very fast. Near the turnoff to the cliffs is a brick "factory"with some stacks of fired and of unfired bricks, but no signs of firewood. There is a home and some barns etc. near the base of the condor cliff. A man at the brick works said the road connects with the road back from the Nireco in Bariloche. Home at 9 p.m. Arranged with Ramon Marful to borrow a key to the gate on the road up to the Microwave Tower. 9 December - Morning still overcast. Stopped at Patricia and Jorge's to alert her to a possible call from the epidemiologist Rachel Wells. Then to Marful's ranch beyond Arroyo Fragua. He loaned us the key to all his locked gates and the key to the gate to Microwavew Hill. He has a number of plum trees at the house that are 30 years old. He grew them from seeds (or seedlings?) that he gathered along the railroad track.

Pearson - 1996 21 They never produce fruit and were only 10 feet tall. Too much frost. He says lots of pumas nearby, lots of red deer, not many guanacos. We did not see much sign of farm activity; a couple of cows. Then drove to the Microwave station at the top of the hill. There has been considerable equipment upgrading since we were there before: big new solar panel feeding into big battery packs, a big chainlink fence around everything, junk lying around, and not nearly as much broken rock lying around. Weather was overcast, almost no wind. I set 27 Shermans inside the fenced area, and three in two small rocky outcrops down the hill to the north, where Sage had located some Euneomys droppings near mouse holes. I saw no droppings while setting my line inside the fence. Anita set in rocky places outside the fence, 27 Shermans, and saw lots of Euneomys droppings. Total 57 traps. Left for home about 3 p.m. Sage collected Geckos and lizards (Liolaemus elongatus and bibroni). On the way home at the second summit saw 4 guanacos. one of them jumped a fence after crossing the road. No squashed hares on the road. Twelve condors circled low over the summit, some of them adults and several young. Birthday party for Liz in evening. 10 December - Ran traps at 9:30 a.m. Anita's line had 4 Eligmodontia, 2 Akodon longipilis, and 1 Ako xanthorhinus. Her numerous rocky sets with clusters of Euneomys droppings caught no Euneomys. My traps around the fence and the buildings caught 9 Eligmos and 1 Euneomys. The Euneo was under the huge big generator mounted on skids. The three traps in rocky sets found by Sage about 100m down the hill held 1 Euneo and 1 longipilis. The Eligmos were mostly females, some pregnant. One of the Euneos was smallish. Total number of animals was 19. We released all except two Euneos, two longipilis, and the xanthorhinus. When released in a rockpile, the Eligmos were rather inept. Those who happened to climb up to the top of a rock didnt know what to do then, so they would just sit there. Two-dimensional animals. Then we returned the keys to Marful. He thinks the Microwave tower is going to be abandoned, because

They never produce fruit and were only a few feet high. I had seen them before, but this time I saw something new. It was a large, dark shape that seemed to be moving in the wind. I watched it for a moment, then turned back to my car. The sky above me was filled with clouds, and the air felt cold against my skin. I could hear the sound of water dripping from somewhere nearby, but I couldn't see where it was coming from. As I drove away, I glanced back one last time at the hill. There was nothing there now except for a few trees and bushes scattered across its surface.

Pearson - 1996 22 of satellite competition, and he would love to live up there. 11 December - Partly cloudy and hot; 82 at 3:30 p.m. Put sheep droppings in the xanthorhinus cage in the morning; not eaten by late afternoon. Then put filter paper under the second (smaller) Euneomys and under the xanthorhinus. In the evening added two sheep droppings to each cage except the two urine-collection cages. Sage photoed frogs and Euneomys. Went up to Ecotono to see Andrea Keithberger, but she was out of town. Saw Rapoport briefly and Karin, who is working now with Tommy Keithberger on Nothofagus and cipres. At 7:30 p.m. went up to see Dr. Stanley Fox from Oklahoma, who is studying the impact of ultraviolet light on frog and toad development under the ozone hole. They had spent a couple of months in Buenos Aires at the Museum, and will be going down to Torres de Paine next week. 12 December - Morning sunny, calm, warm. Overnight low was about 60. None of the captive mice ate their sheep droppings (2 Euneomys, 2 Eligmodontia, 2 Ako longi, 1 Ako xantho). All cut off pieces of Ephedra stem, and the longipilis even cut the bark off of some of it, but they obviously are not wild about it. Collected urine from Euneo 8126 and from the Ako xantho. Went on the new catamaran to Isla Huemul at 10 a.m. The island is 1 km offshore and had been abused in the past by atomic reactors, military excercises, etc. We wanted to se what species of mice live on the island and especially whether Oligoryzomys is one of them. The concessionair, Favio Balest, is suffering because of the absence of tourists because of the Hanta virus scare. He is hoping that we will find no Oligoryzomys, or that if we find them they will prove to be negative for the virus. Then he will be able to extoll his Hanta-free island. Anita and I were both impressed by the whole operation: everything clean, well managed, the boat on time, Christmas decorations up, good morale among the employees, and all interested in what we were doing. Oscar Darwich is manager. A well-marked trail runs up to a mirador through several kinds of habitats, as well as old abandoned buildings. The vegetation is Nothofagus dombeyi, cipres, radial, Mayten, bamboo, no Scotch Broom, lots of rosa mosqueta

The vegetation is Northrop's, as well as, asjail-flew Kings of habitationa.

Pearson - 1996 23 although they have cut a lot, no Berberis percei, very little Berberis buxifolia, Chaura, apple and pear trees. We put out a complex series of trap lines, mostly in bushy rosa habitat but some in bamboo, some in forest, some down along the lake and behind the confiteria. Finished setting about 3 o'clock. Hot. Total 95 traps, mostly Shermans but many Museum Specials. Came home on the 4:45 boat; lake glassy smooth, people swimming along the shore. Shade temperature at our apartment was 86 at 5:30. The IVth Sanitary Zone office was not open at 6:00, so I dont know if they will receive our specimens tomorrow...if any. 13 December - Day cloudless, calm, warm. Overnight minimum 62, temp at 3:30 was 85. Went back to Isla Huemul on the 8:45 boat from Playa Bonita. The manager says that all the trails were choked with rosa mosqueta when they moved in. Picked up all 95 traps at the four levels on the island: not a single mouse. One rayodita bird in a snap trap. Returned to Bariloche at noon. Anita puncturedClinic her foot with a nail while picking up traps; went to the San Carlos Clinic for a tetanus shot. Temperature in mid-afternoon reached 87. Sunny all day. We left some lizard tissue with Stan Fox in his liquid nitrogen. Also, Christie came by to talk lizards with Sage. Sage and I put out 52 Shermans along the unpaved road just beyond the Aeroclub. My line was almost all rosa mosqueta (in bloom), but also some Scotch broom (in bloom and forming pods), Chacay, thistle, and a small non-spiney shrub. Sage's line had some neneo also. Christie says that the big building near this trapline is a slaughter house. Lots of black vultures nerby. 14 December - Day mostly sunnny and warm, but clouded up in late afternoon. Our 53 Shermans caught 2 Auliscomys, 1 Oligoryzomys, and 8 Akodon longipilis; total 11 animals. Dick photoed the Oligoryzomys, then froze it and the longipilises for the Sanitary district. Kept the two Auliscomys alive for feeding tests. Skinned the two Euneomys from Microwave Hill, and the two Eligmos from there, and the Ako xantho and one longipilis. One of the two Euneomys was much larger

Morning sunny. Sage went north with Christie. The two captive Auliscomys did not eat Scotch broom seed pods. One of them ate no sheep droppings; the other not tested. Later in the day, one of them gave birth to 4 young. She made a neat nest of newspaper shredded into long thin strips only about 2mm wide. At 6 p.m. drove out to the First Summit and put 36 Shermans up at the top of the hill all the way around the rock outcrop. Lots of good places for Phyllotis. Some wind on the west side of the hill, none in the east side. Released the Auliscomys mother and her four young under a rosa mosqueta bush. She had not eaten her sheep droppings. 16 December - Morning partly cloudy then cleared up before 10 a.m. Ran traps at 8:30. They held 1 Phyllotis adult male, 1 baby Phyllotis almost dead in the trap, 4 Akodon longipilis, 1 Auliscomys. 36 traps. Released the leftover captive Akodon longipilis, who seems to have eaten a thin crust of the outside of one sheep droppiiing. Lunch with Eileen and John. John and Tommy had found several more colonies of tuco high in the Cuyin Manzano; one of them at 1800 m., one of them in a bushy Adesmia habitat. They had been eating the Adesmia. John reported catching 11 young sociabilis out of the same hole or close by. Also, their marked haigii had survived since last year; almost all of them. 17 December - Overnight low 52. Sunny, not windy. Went up to IV Sanitary Zone office. They reported almost 50% trap success at Lago Puelo (with Jim Mills), lots of Oligoryzomys. They have been trapping also from Melipal through Bariloche to the airport. Apparently no reports yet on whether any of their catch tested positive for Hanta virus. They dismantled the heater/air conditioner of the vehicle suspected of infecting the latest Hanta patient, but found no mice, no nest. Rachel Wells is in El Bolson interviewing people. Dinner with Patricia and Jorge Vallerini. 18 December - 24-hour max-min: 55-72.

The nières were almost fully leafed in some places, but right at the clumps they had barely started to leaf out. The dandelions were a riot at the Park Guard cabin at La Veranada. Clump E3 had 31 dead shoots, at least 20 of them parasitized; numerous yearling culms. A tuco tuco had made two mounds within the clump, but no obvious damage to the culms. Did not mark any because we forgot the marking pens. Clump E2 had 14 dead shoots, at least 9 of them attacked by parasites, none of them the spiralling kind, all or most were the vertical furrow kind. Frequently, the bottom part of the shoot was hard and green but the tip dead. Numerous yearling culms. 2 November - Clump B2 in Llao Lao forest had 11 dead shoots, at least 6 of them parasitized; 8 yearling culms, mostly quite skinny, 4 new shoots. We reinforced the numbers on some of the old culms. Several big coihues had fallen nearby but no damage to our clump.

Pearson - 1997 1 Journal 1 November- Arrived Bariloche about 4 pm with Anita, met at airport by Michael Christie and John. Mike was about to board a plane to BA. Our flight to Miami and BA was on time, then we sat on the runway for a half our at BA waiting for a tug. This made our connection at the downtown airport iffy. Don't ever tell an Argentine taxi that you are in a hurry. Bariloche was very warm and summery, no wind. The marsh above Estancia El Condor green and with lots of water in it. Lots of snow on the peaks. Eileen and John have just arrived, lots of tucos on their study site. Eduardo Ramilo has frozen some mouse carcases for us. The town of Bariloche seems empty. 2 November- Bariloche. Temp mild, cloudy, not windy. Abel Basti came by and helped jump the battery, but my car would not start, motor locked up or?? Towed to ACA. Coffee with Mr and Mrs. Baratta. His father came to Bariloche in 1902, grew potatoes. They don't have much to say about previous bamboo blooms. Everyone has heard of a mouse outbreak at Villa Angostura, but no agreement on bamboo blooming. Ran into Miguel Gross on the street. Gallopin has moved from Colombia to Stockholm. 3 Nov.- Bariloche. Cloudy all day. Went to the Delegacion Tecnica of Parques and saw Chehebar, Ramilo, Miguel Gross, and Gustavo Iglesias. Delivered his computer, got a collecting permit, and talked about the mouse eruptiion at Villa Angostura. Ramilo gave me three sacks of frozen mouse carcases picked up at Lago Espejo Chico by two park guards. No one seems to know of any blooming bamboo to account for the mouse high. Got my car back from the Auto Club at 5 pm., then dissected one sack of frozen carcases. The score was 25 Oligoryzomyz, 1 Irenomys, 5 Auliscomys, 1 Abrothrix longipilis, and 1 Geoxus (plus two headless corpses with tails that looked like Irenomys and/or Auliscomys. All were fat, all with hemorrhagiic lungs, almost all with at least some food in the stomach, none in breeding condition. One female with visible nipples and one with scars in the uterus; one male with regressed testes. All the others apparently

Why would individuals of such disparate genera in fat condition with food in their stomachs fling themselves into the lake?? How come they all had hemorrhagic spots on the lungs? 4 November- Left 9 am for Villa Angostura where we stopped at the Park headquarters and talked with Parkguard Remorino (Tel 94-909 (944). He is an alumnus of the Mauricio Rumboll Parkguard school on Isla Victoria. Very interested in bamboo. He says there were lots of mice around his building and around town 2 or 3 weeks ago. He showed us a 10-gallon can buried flush with the ground on the edge of the beach that caught 150 mice every night. He didnt know of any blooming bamboo. Says the Provincial Health people and the local hospital have details. He directed us toward Parkguard Willink at Lago Espejo. Willink's grandfather was the famous entomologist at Instituto Lillo, his father not so famous. The Parkguard Station at Lago Espejo is a chacra with barn, cows, dog, etc. He had mice everywhere a month ago. They nested at the base of rosa mosqueta and ran up the branches . He poisoned them in the house, his dog caught some. He helped gather some on the beach with other parkguards In his barn was an almost- empty feed barrel with some oats in the bottom of it, plus 2 live Oligoryzomys, 1 recently dead Oligo, 3 dried corpses of Oligo, and 2 eaten bone skeletons. The Parkguards who gathered corpses on the beach at Lago Espejo Chico were Willink, Crosta, and Benevidez. Then drove to the camping ground at Lago Espejo Chico west of Ruca Malen. Walked along the gravel beach with a lugareno (grandson of the Administrator) and we found 2 corpses: an Auliscomys and an Abrothrix, not very stinky. He says:"lots of mice still run across the road at night. Chimangos, caranchos, vultures, and gulls ate carcasses on the beach, but not foxes; they are "in the woods". Pitched our tent in the campground along the river that drains Lago Espejo Chico into Lago Correntoso at Ruca Malen. Drizzle. Anita put out 20 MS AND 20

The habitat is heavily grazed nire scrub, meadows, big nires, a few coihues, lots of bamboo but almost all of it heavily grazed, lots of Berberis (3 spp.) chaura, Ribes, Usnea. 5 November- Cloudy all night, not cold, but drizzly off and on. Anita's line: MS: 10 Oligo, 2 Abro longi, 1 Abro oliv. Shermans: 13 Oligos and 3 Abro longi. My line: MS- 2 Oligo and 1 Aulisco. Shermans- 10 Oligo, 4 Abro longi, 1 Abro olivaceus. Total catch overnight: 75 traps: 35 Oligo, 9 Abro longi, 2 Abro oliv, 1 Auliscomys =47 mice == 63% trap success or 46% for Oligos. Some of the nire trees are very old; one is 2 ft. in diameter. Processed mice all day. We walked about 200m of beach and found one more carcase, an Abro longi. Cloudy and drizzly most of the day but a few patches of sun. I jacklighted for about 200 m last night in the middle of the night and saw nothing. Heard no owls, we see no hawks, hardly any chimangos. A lugareno passing camp on horseback replied, when I remarked that there were lots of mice: "There were lots more last year." When I said that people said that the flowering of the bamboo was followed by a ratada but that this year there was no flowering, he said that the bamboo was flowering "up in the mountains" and that the mice travel down. Not one of the mice dissected today, neither male nor female, was in breeding condition. Only one female was parous. Some had hemorrhagic lungs, but not all. We weighed four of the trapped Oligos while they were still dry and undissected, then soaked them in water for a time, then dried them off with paper towels in the way we had been drying the frozen beach pickups, all to get an idea of how much to sybtract form the body weight of the wet mice. The results before and after: 38.5, 40; 22.5, 23; 21, 21.5; 15.5, 16. Anita set 8 Shermans near the tent in islands of chaura, Berberis, nire, surrounded by turfy campsites. 6 November.- Middle of the night was crystal clear; no mice seen in brief jacklighting session.

A few cipres mixed in, one radal noted. The nire leaves are just coming out, so it still looks wintery. A few coihues on top of the knoll behind camp, but the slope across the river is solid coihue. The commonest Berberis are the yellow-floweered fragrant one and darwinii. Teroteros in the meadow, a lone grey-necked goose standing guard in the meadow, wrens singing, fio-fios singing, ibises gone over, Zonotrichia, lots of "creepers", have seen no gulls. Broke camp and made one more walk along the beach. Found one more Oligo (it was not there day before yesterday). Also noted lots of seed spikes of Weinmannia (tineo) washed up on the beach. Food for mice? Have seen no tineo trees growing here. The administrator's grandson, who had helped find the beach carcasses day before yesterday and who said there was bamboo flowering "higher up", when we asked him again, he disappeared and came back a half-hour later with a dead, flowered, bamboo cane. He also had gathered a abundle of very large canes. He has a 2- acre pasture completely surrounded by a tight bamboo fence. He says that my informant yesterday was wrong; there were NOT more mice last year than this. The most mice were in 1964 when there was a widespread flowering of the bamboo. There are a few rauli Nothofagus here also, and at least one lenga. Then drove to Willink's house, the Parkguard at Lago Espejo, but he was not there. Then to the beach at Hotel Lago Espejo, which is about 1 km north of the turnoff to Chile. Found 12 carcasses on the beach there; all Oligoryzomys. Discarded one stinky one, the others not too bad. Forgot to mention Anita's 8 Shermans near the tent last night. They caught 3 Oligo (islands of chaura/Berberis/nire, surrounded by turfy campsites. Two of them escaped; I processed the other. Then drove to Park Headquarters at Villa Angostura. Nobody there except a firefighter who knew little about the mouse situation. All the others were

He was not in, nor was the Director of the hospital, Dr. Jose PEROTTI (telephone 94170-94770). Then home. Drizzly. Clara says spring has been cloudy, few good days. An orderly at the hospital came out to our car when we were leaving and asked was it safe to eat trout from the lake? He is a fisherman. The trout season opens next week, trout eat the drowning mice etc. 7 November- Arranged for E-mail in the "store" next door (Omar and Gregorio). Then Eileen and John came by for water. They say lots of tucos. Then off to Villa Angostura (1 1/2 hours) to have coffee with Drs. Garcia and Perotti. They are quite interested in the outbreak of mice and were looking for suggestions of what should they do. Their trapper is Claudio Brusoni, a veterenary for the Neuquen Ministerio de Salud y Accion Social in San Martin de los Andes. He is said to have had 80% trap success with Sherman traps at one place, 50% Oligos. He is going to trap Villa Traful soon. On the Peninsula Quetrihue they found mice running across the trails and even found dead ones on the trails (by guards patrolling for the security of Presidents Clinton and Menem). The two doctors seemed interested that Parkguards were picking up dead micie on the beaches. Territorial dispute? Concern for their health? The doctors volunteered any cooperation. Many people that we have talked to tell about mice acting loco. Got home to Bariloche about 9:15 p.m. Note that the high population of Oligos at Lago Espejo Chico is not related to "good" habitat; there were no blackberry bushes, no rosa mosqueta, no scotch broom. They obviously overflow into all sorts of habitats. Note also that the the Oligos in live traps, when dumped into the deep wastebasket, behaved like normal Oligos, not loco as the people here describe outbreak mice. Ditto Abro longi and Abro olivaceus. Finished the last of three bags of frozen beach mice. One bag was marked Lago Espejo Chico, One was labelled Ruca Malen, but the third had no label. Sex ratio: 3 Beaches Traps at Espejo Chico

Pearson - 1997 7 her shermans 2 olivaceus, 4 longipilis, 2 Oligoryzomys. My 13 MS had 3 olivaceus and 1 Oligo; my shermans 1 olivaceus and 3 oligos. Saved all of them. Total trap success =19 animals in 88 traps=22%; success for Oligo =4.5%. 4 Oligo, 2 Aulisco, 5 Abro longi, 8 Abro oliv. The olivaceus were all obviously intermediates with xanthorhinus, but none with yellow nose or orange feet. Note that this sample was not fat, was more advanced in breeding than the samples from Espejo and Ruca Malen. At 7 pm drove out past the flying field then a little past the slaughter house on the back road to Cerro Leones. Cool, windy, still lots of clouds, especially to the west. I set 36 Shermans and Anita set 36 Shermans. My line was the same as last year with Dick Sage, between the road and the fence on the north side of the road. Lush vegetation, not at all grazed.

Anita set on the other side of the road; not as lush but lots of rosa, quite a bit of bunchgrass, some thistles, miner's lettuce, and the teasel-like plant.

He says there are very few chimangos around town because they have been poisoned by eating poisoned carcasses of mice. 16 November- Cleared up overnight. Morning clear and sunny. Max-min all last week while we were away was 42-55. Werner says it was an unusually warm winter and spring: lots of rain, a warm spell, then cold and some snow, then more rain which caused floods, etc. He says the winter before was mild also. Went out to Flueck's log cabin above Lago Gutierrez. Sunny, clear. At 11 a.m. put out 24 Museum Specials in cipres/cohue forest, sort of scrubby along the roads, with a few rosa, Mutisia, etc. The oldest coihues have big lowdown branches, so probably grew in open fields. Picked up the traps at 3:30; one youngish Oligoryzomys male just coming into breeding condition. Adrian Monjeau came by at 6 p.m. He had trapped at Rio Turbio, across Lago Puelo, with 90% trap success. Almost all Oligoryzomys. This is a low pass into Chile. Several people have told him about mice marching single file through the woods. Because of President Clinton's impending visit to Llaio Llao a few weeks ago, he was called to consult on the abundance of mice on the golf course there. The exterminators that they had hired were overwhelmed. I didn't hear anything quantitative. I ask everyone about the abundance of predators, but nobody is impressed with large numbers of hawks, ownls, chimangos, etc. Maybe they all went to Chile a couple of years ago for the bamboo bloom and never came back. And no one knows of a bamboo bloom here in Argentina. 17 November.- Bariloche. Sunny, up to 70*. Talked with Nadia Guthman. She had trapped at the city dump; she saw (trapped?)

At 3 p.m. drove to Villa Mascardi and checked with Parkguard Alejandro; he had no mouse info. Then to the campground at the south end of Lago Guillermo where we put traps in almost pure bamboo and nire; some patches of lush ungrazed green grass. Anita set 36 Shermans and 18 Nuseum Specials. I set 35 Shermans and 5 MS, and 9 Argentine mouse traps baited with cheese. Saw no mouse sign. One hawk flew over, lots of chucaos, a magellanic woodpecker. We walked about 300 yards of nice gravel beach at the south end of the lake; no dead mice. We know that this bamboo/nire habitat goes for miles to the south, so if the coihue theory is correct, we should not catch a lot of mice. Evening warm, no wind, cloudy. 18 November.- Lago Guillermo.

Dentist today; root canal tomorrow. One of the Abro longi had lungs that were not only very dark and hemorrhagic, but peppered with little hard white spheres. 19 November.- Yesterday at Lago Guillermo, we killed two big queen yellow jackets. The Scotch broom is in fairly full bloom, but not maximum; the lupine not at all. The Notro in town is starting to bloom. Abel Basti came by; wants photos for La Manana. In the afternoon we drove to Liao Liao. Scotch broom in full bloom in places. Could find no seedling coihue. The crowd of saplings along the road beyond the Hotel range from 1 to 3 inches diameter; there must have been a good mast year at that time. Talked with the Guardaparque Municipal in the cabin on Lago Perito Moreno. He was seeing lots of mice crossing the road a month ago, fewer now but still some. No corpses on the beach, but some mice ran up the hawser of his boat tied up at the edge of the lake, jumped into the boat, and couldnt get out again. A half-dozen or so. He says the ratada is due to the flowering of the bamboo. The mice eat the seeds, get thirsty, and go to the lake looking for water. Then he showed me a clump of dead bemboo next to his house, with dried flower heads, and pointed to others across the road. These were the only flowered bamboo that we saw all day. He noted an unusual scarcity of chimangos (noted by other people also); says that mice were poisoned at Liao Liao and at Villa Tacul. We saw no signs of mice while walking the trails near Lago Escondido. Tea at Belleville. The Senora says she has seen only a few mice, not colilargos (Oligoryzomys). 20 November- We went with Adrian Monjeau and Nadia Guthman to Villa Angostura. Maria Busch and David Bilenca from Buenos Aires were there, had been invited by the Neuquen Public Health people to comnsult on the mouse problem.

Pearson - 1997 Busch, and Bilenca. Much yak, coffee, lunch, then brought Bush and Bilenca back to the Bariloche airport. Apparently ultrasound machines had been used at the Arrayanes forest in anticipation of President Clinton's visit. The thought was that they had been effective (no data), and might even have driven the mice 13 km north to the town of Villa Angostura! More of the usual reports of Oligorysomys falling into tanks of water, etc. Gustavo had mice eating his corn plants as soon as they sprouted. Cloudy-drizzle at Villa Angostura, cool windy and clear at the Bariloche airport. Gustavo agreed with our other sources that chimangos were uncommonly scarce. Yesterday I put out a new max-min thermometer. The old one was unreliable because the maximum rider kept falling down onto the mercury column. Therefore, the max readings up to now have been wrong. 21 November- Yesterday afternoon was cool, windy, scattered clouds; typical Bariloche. Disturbing thought number 27: Our study of Reithrodon was carried out a few years ago at a time when Reithrodons were unusually abundant. For example, we caught as many as 23 in one night. We attributed this to our growing skill. However, is it not possible that we were seeing a Reithrodon ratada and that their docile, fearless behavior was analgous to the Oligoryzomys behavior observed by people during the post-bamboo ratadas? Went up to Ecotono and talked with Tom and Andrea Keithberger. He said it was a fairly good year for lenga seeds, especially in Tierra del Fuego, poor for coihue, and very good for nire seeding. To him, none of them seems to be nutritious for wildlife. He printed out for us the last 12 years of temperature and precipitation from INTA. At 6 p.m. put out traps beyond Lago Escondido, 5 km W Llao Llao Hotel. I put two lines: one along the margin of the road in dense rosa, second growth coihue, and bamboo, 5 MS, 5 new Argentine metal mousetraps, and 10 Shermans.

Then camped on the edge of the western piece of Lago Perito Moreno at our usual site. Set 5 more Shermans there in pure bamboo/coihue. 22 November- Drizzle off and on allnight. Jacklighted for about 20 minutes in the middle of the night but saw nothing. Drizzle in morning. The 5 traps around camp caught 5 mice! Then ran our other lines west of Llao Llao (same place we have trapped before and called [............]. Summary: 101 trap nights, 58 mice. Killed the live ones by carbon monoxide. Summary: 23 Oligos, 22 Abro longi, 9 Abro oliv., 2 Aulisco. None breeding except the biggest Aulisco, who had med-large testes, not very big seminal vesicles, but 'zoa in a smear of the epididymis. One Museum Special held two adult Oligoryzomys males, neither of them breeding, both of them obviously going for the bait. Another Sherman held two smallish male Oligos, neither in breeding condition. Returned home at 10 a.m and processed mice. Pedro Prieto came by; he is now at Parque Los Alerces. He wasn't aware of a ratada down there. He used to be parkguard at Lago Espejo and was going to go visit the old codger who lives at Espejo Chico and who remembered much lore of the old days. Pedro used to go check up on hum in winter to make sute rhat he was surviving. His name is Marcelino Matus Processed mice most of the day. Dinner with Patricia Fierro and Jorge Vallerini. He gave me the name of the weather person at INTA: Luis Cohen. 23 November- Left with Anita and Adrian Monjeau for Lago Espejo Chico at 2:30. Crossed with Pedro Prieto on the route. He had been to see Marcelino...who had not remembered who he was! He gave us the name of Hipolito Balbagellata, who lives up above the road to Villa Angostura just east of Rio Huemul. Hipolito remembers the outbreak of 1944. Then we stopped at the Parkguard station at the Puerto at Villa Angostura. Remorino was there, and another parkguard who remembered us from Pampa Linda. They said that the number of mice had declined since last month. Stopped at Lago Espejo but Willink was not there.

Pearson - 1997 14 Talked with his wife. Then on to Lago Espejo Chico. Walked the beach but found only one mouse, a decomposed Oligoryzomys. Talked with Marcelino. He says that after the bamboo bloom of 1944? there were many more mice than now. Then camped at our campsite near the river and put out traps. My line through nire/chaura/bamboo/berberis in untrapped terrain, plus a repeat of 9 traps along part of my line from November 5. Anita put out a line through similar habitat, plus a piece through coihue forest that is fenced against the cows. My line: 36 Shermans, 5 MS, 5 metal argentine snap traps. Anita's line 36 Shermans and 18 MS. Total 100 traps. Day was crystal clear, no clouds, warm, no wind. Anita saw a large bat at dusk. 24 November- Night was clear, calm; frost on car and on our sleeping bags. The nine traps on my old line caught only one mouse, The total score was: snap traps 12 Oligo, 1 Abro oliv, 2 Abro longi. Shermans: 18 Oligos (we released one of them), 1 oliv, 9 longi. Totals: 30 Oligo, 2 oliv, 11 longi = 43 mice in 100 traps. Home at 4 p.m. after dropping off a progress report at Dr. Garcias's house in Villa Angostura. Day was sunny and plesant. Max-min for past several days in Bariloche is 43-74. 25 November- Morning cloudy, afternoon windy, sunny. Finished the mice from Lago Espejo Chico. Note that all the Oligos killed by monoxide had good lungs, but also, all the longipilis killed by monoxide had spotty lungs. Also, the nine Abro longi caught in Shermans were females. Two of them with spots in the uterus but the pelvis not open; none with pink follicles or big vaginas. At our campsite at Espejo Chico the cows were browsing on low branches of nire, not on bamboo. The nire leaves were almost but not fully out. Went out to INTA and talked with Bonino, Javier Bellati, and Carlos Bustos, who is in charge of the weather records. He gave me an update on the weather records for the past dozen years. Their instruments are on the grounds of the Inta station on the Lake across the road from Las Victorias. Note that we have not caught a single Chelemys so

The lengas are leafed out, oodles of bamboo, amancays. Not much else except lush ungrazed grass and dandelions in the meadow. We each put 11 MS and 35 Shermans. Started to drizzle as we finished. 26 November- Got up at 6 to run the traps, and just then it started to snow heavily in Bariloche, huge flakes. But stopped after a half hour; almost no snow remained. So we went up Cerro Otto to pick up traps, but there was 1 to 2 inches of sticky snow on everything, no hope of finding all of our traps. The first 6 traps had 1 Abro longi, 1 Auliscomys, 1 Geoxus partly eaten. It was still drizzly-snowy in Bariloche at 9 a.m. Our friend at the Fax store has a house at the base of the San Pedro Peninsula, A month or so ago he had colilargos (Oligoryzomys) everywhere on the waterfront. He says there were lots of bamboos flowering, but no specifics, and that the mice eat the seeds, get thirsty, and go to the beach to drink. Same old story. At 2:30 went back up Cerro Otto and picked up traps. There was less snow than this morning, but still a hassle to find them, plus bamboo canes bent down by the snow everywhich way. The catch (24 hours) in 22 Museum Specials was 1 Geoxus, 1 Oligo, 1 Aulisco, and 5 Abro longi. The catch in 71 Shermans was 13 Abro longipilis and 2 Oligos. Adding in the three mice from this morning, the total catch was 2 Geoxus, 3 Oligo, 2 Auliscomys, and 19 Abro longipilis in 93 traps. Two of the longipilis were 13-gram juveniles (identification not certain, maybe Aulisco?). [=28% trap success for all species, 3,2% for Olligos.] It started to snow lightly while we were picking up traps, and by the time we return3ed to Bariloche it was snowing heavily, big wet flakes, as heavy a snow as I have seen. Temperature at the time 40. But in Bariloche it didnt stay on the ground. A gal from Ecotono came by to talk about her project, which is putting up fake bird nests with

She says that predation on the LlaolLao Peninsula is particularly heavy, something like 70% of the nests are molested. She wants to know what does it. Some of the quail eggs have lots of toothmarks on them that might be mouse teeth. Anita thinks one of the plasticene eggs had Irenomys bites on it. She finds lots of Dromiciops nests on the LlaolLao Peninsula. She did her undergrad work at U.C. Santa Cruz. 27 November- Morning clear and windy. Minimum overnight was 40. No snow left on the ground in Bariloche. Finished processing the Cerro Otto mice. Weather clouded up at noon, then more rain. Drove out to Eileen's camp at km 10 on the Rio Limay. The weather was awful in Bariloche, sunny at Eileen's, rainbows in between. Lotsof green vegetation, oodles of smartweed. The tucos are abundant; large colonies seem to have a lower reproductive rate than small colonies. John, Tina, Eileen, and Gabriella were there in their tent city. VERY windy on the way back to Bariloche, and still rainy in town. Couldnt see the top of Otto to see how much snow there. 28 November.- Left about 10 a.m. for Parque Nacional Los Alerces. Lunch in El Bolson. Road paved all the way! Some impressive expanses of rosa mosqueta between El Bolson and Epuyen. Arrived at the Park at 6 p.m. and found parkguard Pedro Prieto at his house. He was sort of vague about how many mice there were and where, and recommended a location at Puerto Limonao about 5 km north of Park Headquarters on the west side of Lake Futalaufquen. There is small beach there, a couple of fishing boats, and a kiosk. We talked with the lady of the kiosk, who produced a calendar on which her husband, Julio Oszlost (Polish) had recorded the number of mice caught in his pit traps on the edge of the cinder beach. There had been 3 or 4 20-gallon cans sunk in the beach along the wall on the landward edge of the beach. Beginning October 14, the number of mice in the 20-gallon pitfalls with water was:

Then we set traps in the woods behind this beach (at the west end of the road to Cinco Saltos). My line was 33 Shermans and 11 MS in rather open forest, only occasional clumps of bamboo; mostly cipres, coihue, radial. Anita set 36 Shermans and 11 MS. Her line had green grass and rosa mosqueta, but mostly forest. Finished setting at 8 p.m. Saw no mice. Walked along a nice beach at the southern end of Lake Futalaufquen but saw no dead carcasses. Then back to Prieto's house near Park Headquarters. 29 November.- Mornig clear. Our traps (22 MS and 68 Shermans=90) held 9 Oligoryzomys, 16 Abro longi, and 21 Abro oliv. = 51 = 56.4% trap success for all mice and 10.0 trap success for Oligos. Julios wife says he was using 4 or 5 pitfalls along the beach. All day skinning, then walked up to a hilltop with Prieto on the trail to the indian pictographs. Maitens, rosa, Scotch broom, Gunnera, Notro, nire, coihue, Berberis darwini, calafate, a few neneo, one big Colletia, As you look toward Esquel, you can see that here we are not far removed from the steppe, hence it is not a surprise that the Abro. olivaceus look more steppe-like than forest-like. Check tail lengths etc. Cold drizzle in the afternoon. Annual rainfall here is 1800 mm. 30 November.- Left Villa Futalaufquen about 10 a.m. and drove north along the east side of the lake. Several stops along the lake, no dead mice on the beaches. There is almost no bamboo along this road, but looking across the lake you can see a lower band of coihue, an upper band of lenga, and a sea of bamboo in between with no trees. Stopped at Hosteria Hume Hue at lunchtime. The senora there says no unusual number of mice. Parkguard Gustavo and his wife came to the Hosteria for Sunday dinner. He says no unusal number of mice - there are always lots of mice. We decided to camp at his Park Guard Station a couple of kms north on teh Rio Arrayanes, which connects Lago Verde with Lago Futalaufquen. The habitat is amixture of meadows with lots of rosa in them, some cows, coihue forest with

Also Berberis, fuchsia, radal, and arrayanes along the river. Gustavo has been here 1 1/2 years, says there is little bamboo here because of grazing, whereas no grazing across the lake. Anita and I put out about 90 traps at 5 p.m., covering pretty much all habitats. Cloudy, not cold. 1 December.- Wee drizzle off and on all night and morning. Picked up traps at 7 a.m. Anita's line almost 80%, mine less. Totals: 22 MS = 6 Oligos, 8 Abroi longi, 4 Abro oliv. Shermans: 24 Oligos, 12 Abro longi, 16 Abro oliv. Total catch: Oligo 30, longi 13, oliv 20, or 63 mice in 94 traps = 66% trap success for all mice, or 32% for Oligos. Talked with the parkguard at the Seccional Lago Rivadavia. He had only been there for 6 months but said that the mice had been especially abundant in March and in September-October. He had a boat and a nice little beach but had never seen dead mice washed up on the beaches. His cat keeps bringing them in. Most impressive is the amount of rosa mosqueta in Parque Alerces. From the Park Headquarters along the east side of the lake to Cholila and beyond the road is lined with rosa. Pastures are being invaded. It is not blooming yet; a few plants carry dried fruits. Trapping was good near the rosa bushes. The rosa in El Hoyo and El Bolson is blooming. Many many t ero-teros along the road near Cholila. Stopped in steppe habitat north of Cholila to dissect mice, then to El Bolson for snacks, home to Bariloche at 8 p.m. Drizzle off and on most of the way. See notes for November 7, 1991, for previous trapping along Lago Verde. 2 December.- Bariloche. Cold, not raining. Dissected mice in the morning and tried to get new license plates for the car. Note that for the 63 mice from Rio Arrayanes, not one pregnancy. One Sherman held 2 Oligos (their identities were lost), and another Sherman held THREE Abro olivaceus. (nos. 8534-8536: an old but non-breeding male, a possibly parous female, and an immature female).

Pearson - 1997 Eileen, John, and Tina came by in the afternoon. Twenty Nothofagus dombeyi seeds from Llao Llao "planted" on wet filter papers in a petri about 10 days ago have not sprouted. (Nor had they sprouted by December 15). Summary of the Futulafquen experience. Weather was cloudy or drizzly almost the whole trip. The people we talked with in the park were not aware that there was or had been a ratada. The general concensus was that there are always a lot of mice and that now is no exception. Our overall trap success was 66 and 56%, which is similar to Villa Angostura and Llao Llao. Oligoryzomys trap success was 32 and 10 percent. The 10% was at Puerto Limonao where there was not nearly as much rosa mosqueta as at Arayanes. Olivaceus was more abundant than longipilis. Only those three species were caught. Not one female was pregnant; one was lactating; a few were parous. There were two big male Oligos (over 50g), both with medium large testes and not-very-big seminal vesicles but with spermatozoa in the epididymis. No specimens were fat like the beach specimens from Lago Espejo Chico We saved some stomachs, and pickled some tissues for Adrian. Spotted/hemorrhagic lungs continue to show up even in specimens killed by carbon monoxide. The local people have all heard the bamboo story, but no one knew of any flowering plants, and we saw not a single flowering plant. We saw numerous young clumps maybe 10 years old, bt also some clumps of huge old canes. Once again, we saw not a single mouse, even at night with a flashlight. A view of Puerto Limonao from across the lake shows a band of coihue down low, a band of lenga up top, and a big area of bamboo in between (see photo). But without a bloom, what good is the bamboo? The number of maiten trees is impressive, however in the region in general. And the amount of rosa is overwhelming. Not blooming yet, and few old fruits on it. Saw no mouse nests, and few "signs" of mice. Three olivaceus in one Sherman trap, two of them adults, must be a sign of high pouluation. Plus two Oligos in another Sherman. The vagina of Abro longipilis and the testes and seminal vesicles and penis of longipilis continue to

The upper one has new shots up to 8 inches tall. The lengas are well- leafed-out but no blossoms. Some earth cores. Youg white pines are growing very fast, two feet or more between whorls of branches. Some firs also growing fast. Day pretty much overcast, no rain. 5 December- Bariloche. Cloudy all day, some drizzle. Drove to La Veranada to our two bamboo plants. Scotch broom on the way there is in full bloom, the lupine not quite full bloom yet, the rosa notblooming at all. The meadow at our campsite has almost no dandelions, the turf is rough, maybe wild pigs in the past? The closest clump E3 is very vigorous, lots of yearling culms and many new shoots just emerging. E2 in the woods is not doing much. It had a lot of dead culms on one side, and it turns out that they have been bitten off at the bottom by a tuco. The tuco obviously cut them, then eaten the bottom of the culm right down to the rhizome. Two of the eaten culms were tagged old ones "born" in the 1985-1986 season.

At 7 p.m. put out traps nesar the Aeroclub. Actually, between the dirt road that takes off at the railroad crossing the main highway and the railroad right-of-way. This is a strip of lush ungrazed vegetation: Anita's line was very diverse, rosa, palo de pichi,Colletia, acaena, neneo, green grass, a couploe of wild apple trees, Seneciio, Berberis. My line was less diverse, most;y wild rose and lush grass but some of the others. This locality will be: 11km ENE Bariloche. It is 1.1 km west of the Aeroclub turnoff, hence about 2 or 3 km short of our last e called Aeroclub trapping site which, which we called 2 km E Aeroclub, 13 km NE Bariloche. Total traps 91 MS and 37 Shermons. 6 December- Ran traps at 7 a.m. catch was: in MS 2 Oligoryzomys and 2 Abro longi. In Shermans: 1 Oligo, 2 Abro oliv or juvenile Auliscomys, and 15 Abro longi. Totals: 3 Oligo, 17 Abro longi, and 2 oliv/aulisco = 22 mice. Trap success for all mice = 24%; trap success for Oligo = 3.3%. Lots of them in breeding condition. Werner and Joan Flueck came by. Nothing new on the deer/huemul front. 7 December- Bariloche. Heavy clouds in morning. Went on the boat to Puerto Blest where, by 2 oclock it cleared up and we had a couple of hours of sunshine. Bamboo clump D2 was almost surrounded by standing water. We marked 26 yearlings, and there were 2 dead shoots, one of them parasitized. 3 new shoots were only a couple of inches tall, but one big one on a neighboring clump was 2 feet tall. One cane of the 1988-89 cohort is almost dead, and another from 1985-86 was dead. The following were alive: 2 from 84-85, 3 from 85-86, 1 from 86-87, and 1 from 88-89. This is not a complete count, just noted in passing. We also marked 3 culms that looked like they must have been yearlings last year, when we did not visit. Clump D1 had a narrow miss from a huge trunk that fell about a meter from it, bending down permaenently a

There were 4 dead shoots, 3 of them parasitized. No new shoots. One 1983-84 cane still alive. Because of the treefall, this clump now has some openspace around it. Then we did the census of flowering bamboo between Puerto Blest playing field and El Abuelo. Three flowering plants on the south side of the road, none on the north. Azara is in full bloom. Scotch broom in full flower has taken over the playing field and is abundant along the road toward Frias. We saw numerous small tineo trees (Weinmannia trichosperma)but no blooms. Parkguard El Oso volunteered that it had been a good year for tineo flowers (and seeds?)...but maybe Monjeau had put him onto this statement. Adrian had asked him about tineo. Back to Bariloche at 6:30, where there was considerable blue sky. Scotch broom between Llao Llao and Bariloche was rampant rambunctious. 8 December- Day of the Virgin. All businesses shut. Went to see Nellie Neumeyer de Frei. Her big Ceonothus bush was absolutely spectacular in full bloom, and the Ceonothus seeds that we brought her about 5 years ago are now smallbushes, some of them with bright blue blooms. She was working in the garden as usual and showed us around. She knew nothing about tineo (Weimannia). Some sunshine in the morning and afternoon clear sunny. Went to Llao Llao in the late afternoon and visited our bamboo plant at the crossroads of the trails. It has a lot of dead canes and doesnt look atall vigorous. We marked 6 year-old canes and removed 4 dead shoots, 3 of which had been parasitized. There were a few new shoots up to 13 inches tall. A chucuo visited while we were recording. Only once did it get more than 2 feet above the ground. Once it mountd slanty canes up to 4 feet above ground, gave a full song at the top, then dropped down to the ground. Lots of whet whets calling also. At7:30 to 8:30 we put out traps in the same piece

The grandson of the poblador (Marcelino Matus)couldnt give me much information on tineo trees hereabouts, nor about the crayfish-looking holes in the forest floor, which we excavated and couldn't follow to anywhere. I commented on the size of the nire trees and asked him if there were Nothofagus trees here other than dombeyi and nire and he said yes there were lengas. When I said ssure but werent they much higher in the hills , he said no, there was one right by the bridge. Sure enough, it was. Day warm and sunny. Processed the mice. Photo of one of the islands in the meadow that harbors lots of Oligos. Photo, which includes Marlboro cigarette box, includes Berberis darwini, Berberis sp., chaura 1, nire, maybe chaura 2, and bamboo. There are a few

My line went up the hill beginning at the bridge, through the ususwal chaura, nire, Berberis, a few bamboos and ended up at a delightful meadow with big nires in the middle, an old old log fence around it, blooming lupines, and big orange bumble bees visiting the lupine blossoms. Niaight partly cloudy but not cold. 95 traps out. 12 December.- The 23 MS caught 2 Oligo and 2 Abro longi. The Shermans caught 6 Oligo, 8 Abro longi, 6 Abro oliv., 1 Chelemmys, and 2 Aulisco= 27 total including 8 Oligos. = 28% trap success for all species or 8.4% for Oligos. Processed the Oligos and then left for home. Stopped to talk with Parkguard Willink at Lago Espejo. He says the rosa and the Scotch Broom have not reached Espajo Chico because the poblador with all the cattle along the road as far as Ruca Malen has kept them from getting through the fences to Espejo Chico. He also says that Espejo Chico is the southernmost locality for the Nothofagus called RAULI, but its leaves are much too big to be confused with nire. Stopped again to see Remorino at Villa Angostura, but again he was not on duty. The park Guard there said the numbers of mice seemed to have decreased. Then left a progress report for Dr. Garcia at the Hospital in Villa Angostura, then home about 1 p.m. Bariloche sunny and warm; max-min for past 2 days was 81-52. 15 December- Sunny and warm in Bariloche. Finally got new license plates for the car, Then visited Parques. Chehebar or Ramilo said that a parkguard at Quillen reported that there were NOT many mice there. No details. Rapoport came by to pick up Adrian's specimens, the Fluecks came with christmas cards to be mailed in the states, then left for Buenos Aires/Miami.

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

cigaret-lighter adapter wouldnt fit into the computer, so then home for more measuring and dissecting. Havent finished all of them, but so far none in breeding condition. One Oligo was very small, all others more or less adult size. Nobody breeding, all species except Geoxus and Loxo with hemorrhagic lungs. More dissecting back at the apartent. 19 April- Bariloche. Dissecting mice in the morning, then set traps at the Aeroclub at 5:30 pm; weather pleasant, not windy. Dozens of vultures at the slaughter house. Sage set 73 traps, half Shermans and half MS on the north side of the road along the fence, and I set 74 half and half along the fenceline south of the road. Oodles of Rosa, lots of thistle, dry grass. Sage had rosa and some green grass. Also set 1 tuco trap in the bank where we parked the car. When we arrived, in addition to turkey vultures there were a carancho, a chimango, and a marsh hawk. Havent seen any squashed hares yet. Lots of yellow jackets. One or more of the mouse species is carrying a tiny mite that bites people. April 20- Bariloche. Ran traps at 8:30 a.m. Weather clear, touch of frost, vultures flying early. A tuco in the one jump trap. The 147 traps caught 67 mice= 45.6% trap success as follows: Shermans- 14 Oligos and 12 Abro longi. Museum Specials- 20 Oligo, 12 longi, 2 Abro xantho, and 7 Loxo. Hence, MS much more effective for numbers and diversity. Also, we each had about 5 sprung empty MS. All the Loxos were on Sage's side of the road (where the green grass was?). Trap success for Oligo was 23.1% and for Abro longi 16.3%. The rosa was loaded with fruit. The rest of the day processing mice and getting the brakes fixed on the car. April 21- Bariloche. Some sprinkles but not cold. Processed mice all morning, then errands around town. Went out to INTA to see Carlos Bustos about weather records, but he had just left. Met Werner Flueck in a shop; he and Joanna are leaving for southern Chubut to see Huemuls. There is said to be a place where huemuls and red deer are microsympatric. April 22- Bariloche. Rain most of the night, but the morning partly clear. Lots of new snow on Cerro Blanco and Cerro Otto, and across the Lake. Went out to INTA but Carlos Bustos the weather man was not there. Visited with Bonino and with Julietta von Thungen. INTA is playing with Rheas with an eye toward eventual commercialization, and Julietta is shearing guanacos for wool. The guanacos are out at Pilcaniyeu and come to see you when you enter their area. She is doing nothing with Lagidium. Jorge Amaya, who worked here on rabbits years ago, is back but Bonino and Julietta seem to avoid him. Visited also with Javier

Bellati at INTA. Then stopped at the Delegacion Tecnica of Parques. Gustavo was there and Anahi. She is happy with the computer that I brought her. A man at INTA who lives in Melipal says that he is plagued by mice right now. He says they are not colilargos (Oligo), but have shorter tails. From his description they could be house mice or Abrothrix. Gustavo at the far end of Melipal says that his cat is bringing in many more mice than usual. Abouot 2 oclock left foour Villa Angostura. Stopped at the Park Guard place and talked with Eduardo Lujano but got little informationn on the mouse outbreak. They seem to think it is over. Remorino no longer works at the Park Guard station but still lives in Villa Angostura. Then stopped at the Lago Espejo Guard Station and talked with Willig. He thinks the ratada is over; no more corpses on the beach. I asked him about Weismannia trees. He says there are numerous around th edges of both lakes near the water, some a foot or so in diameter, none accessible by foot from his house. The old guy at Espejo Chico (Matus) is seldom there any more because he is going blind. Talked briefly with a young guy Lorenzo, not the same young man as last December. Then we camped at the same site as before. Dick put out 25 MS, 25 Shermans, and 11 jump traps baited with pate, the 50 mouse traps in some of Anita's old lines. I put out 25 MS and 25 Shermans in my same old line that ran up along the fence just across the bridge, up to the log-encircled meadow. Started to rain and even a little hail just as we finished. This will probably spring some of the snap traps. Light rain off and on during the night. April 23- Lago Espejo Chico. On my line there were only 4 Museum specials that were not sprung. Altogether my MS held 7 Oligo and 5 Abro longi. My Shermans held 2 Oligos, 5 longi, 2 Abro olivaceus, and 1 Geoxus. Sag'e 25 Museum Specials held 12 Oligos, 2 longi, and 1 oliv. 6 traps were sprung empty. His 25 Shermans caught 4 Oligo, 2 longi, and 2 olivaceus. The 11 steel traps caught 1 Abro longi, but dont count in the calculation of trap success. Totals for 100 traps on a rainy night: Trap success all speceis 46%; Oligo 25%; longi 14%. Dissected all day. Mostly cloudy, then set new lines of 50 MS and 50 Shermans. Sage's line was across the creek along Anita's old line toward the houses. My line began across the road on this side of the bridge through nire and bamboo, then this side of the road near Berberis patches and bamboo, then along the bottom of the hill to camp. This was all terrain trapped in November December.

4 April 24- Lago Espejo Chico. Night clear and cold; ice on the car. Traps MUCH less productive than yesterday. My 25 Shermans caught 2 Oligos and 1 Chelemys, and my 25 MS caught 2 Oligo, 2 longi, and 1oliv. Sage's 25 Shermans caught 1 Oligo, 3 longi, and 1 live Chucao; his Museum Specials 6 Oligo and 1 Geoxus. Total for 100 traps on a clear frosty night: Trap success forall species 19%; for Oligos 11%; for longi 5%. Found one rosa mosqueta bush in the bamboo and tangle at the bottomof the hill near the soccer field (and our camp). This is the only rosa I have seen here. Saw a hummingbird near camp, but nothing blooming. Saw hare droppings but no hares. Heard no owls, saw no raptors, no carnivores except 4 dogs hunting through the forest. Sage went off with Willig for an hour in search of Rauli seeds. Willig had never seen a pudu near here, but there are wild pigs (but we saw no sign). Red deer have not reached here. We have not yet seen a single hare squashed on the road; compare with precvious years. After processing some but not all of the mice, left for Bariloche. Brought three live Oligos to test whether they like seeds of Scotch Broom, but squashed one of them while transferring to cages. I gave each 25 broom seeds and a pinch of rolled oats, plus a small piece of apple. April 25- Bariloche. Mostly sunny but cool. Processed mice. None breeding. The one Geoxus dissected had "liquified" (=decomposed) more than any of the Abrothrix or Oligoryzomys kept on ice for the same length of time. Another similarity to Blarina? In the morning, one of the Oligos had eaten ALL the seeds and left only one flake of oats. The other left nine seeds. So they DO eat Scotch Broom (or is it European broom?) Went to Patricia Fierro's for tea; Jorge was off at an asado. The weather here has been mild, in spite of El Nino. Her garden is beautiful even so late in the season. Saw a hummingbird there feeding on Red Hot Poker. April 26- Bariloche. Overcast. Went to Chalhuaco with Sage, Michael and Patricia Christie and two of her kids. A wee drizzle at times. There were nine cars at the Refugio! and the road was much improved. The autumn colors are just beginning. I dont remember ever seeing so many amancay plants, it must have been a spectacular January. Only two plants with flowers still. Collected one plant with four seed pods, which exploded nicely in the middle of the night. The single bamboo plant above the refuge looked robust, with several yearling culms. The

Refuge manager, who lives there with pet cat and rabbit, said that there were not many mice. We saw very few birds, no cows, no mammal sign. April 27- Bariloche. Morning mild but overcast. Went out to INTA to get weather data. Manana. Talked with Javier Bellati. He is still livng at the Hipodromo, did not acknowledge any ratada. When I remarked on how few raptors I was seeing, he said that there were still lots. When I remarked on the good old days when one saw a half dozen raptors on the phone poles on the airport road, he said that the growth of the pine trees had made the raptors move across the road to the cement poles...but I doubt it. When I said that I no longer see squashed hares on the road, he said that he still sees lots! At INTA we talked with Leonardo Gallo, a forest geneticist who is working on electorphoresis etc of Nothofagus such as pellin, rauli, lenga, etc. He said that experimental plots at Bariloche and near Esquel grow fast, something like 25 cubic meters of wood per year when they are only 13? years old. Also has done a paper on natural hybridization between rauli and pellin. Then we went to Parques and talked with Chehebar and Ramilo. They phoned Sanguinetti in San Martin de los Andes to get information about mice in Lanin park, but nothing definite except they gave us copies of earlier communications such as: Feb 13, 1998- from Intendencia Lanin: "...in months of October and November/97 observged an increase of rodents and also dead ones at the shoreline of the lake, principally colilargos, and trout with mice in stomach in the area of Queni y Sendero Termas." Feb 18- from Intendencia Lanin. "...a notable increase in the number of rodents and flowering of the bamboo in the Lolog area." Feb 26- from Intendencia Lanin; "...an increase in the number of rodents in the past few weeks in the Seccional Hua-Hum and Pucara. Feb 3- from Intendencia Lanin: "...presence of above normal numbers of rodents in Camping Currué Grande and the appearance of dead examples." A follow-up E-mail from Natalie Goodall says that the mice she saw did not have long tails, were scurrying across the road, in the snow, offten eating at other carcasses on the road. She says that Marta Lizzaralde says that in 1996 two species were involved: Abro xantho and Oligoryzomys, mainly the former. Marta wrote a paper about the outbreak and is doing some joint project with the University of Comahue. Her E-mail is [email protected].

6 Matthew White and Justin arrived on the bus from Mendoza. Went to dinner at Alberto's. They had bicycled from Tierradel Fuego to San Rafael. They had crossed over from Chile at Termas de Puyehue and then gone north to San Martin de los Andes etc, passing right by Lago Espejo, Ruca Malen, etc. Then they took the bus back to Bariloche from San Rafael. April 28- Bariloche. Mostly overcast in the morning. To INTA for weather records, then Parques. Carlos Bustos gave us updates on his INTA station plus some data from a retired director of INTA who lives at km 12.5. That station must be not far from Lago Trebol (=Lagunita El Trebol). No new info on ratadas from Parques. Then went to Ecotono; Rapoport was there. Then up to the University looking for Dora Grigera or Carmen Ubeda; they are out of town. The parking lot had 50 cars in it, vs one or two 10 years ago. Also considerable new construction at the University; but the same old awful unpaved road up to it. Then off to Villa Angostura with Sage, Mathew, and Justin. One squashed hare on the road. Eight km east of Villa Angostura was a big tree with quintral up at least 50ft. and in full bloom. Quintral = Tristerix tetrandus, mistletoe family. It also was bearing juicy fruits. A hummingbird visited it while we were there. The tree was probably one of the Chilean valdivian species that I dont know. The big tree next to it was also a different unknown. It was the most spectacular quintral that I have ever seen. Camped at our same place at Lago Espejo Chico. The grandson of our first visit there was in attendance, but I did not see Mr. Matus. I put out 20 Shermand and 20 Museum Specials; Sage put out 20 Shermand and 21 MS. Total 81 traps. April 29- Lago Espejo Chico. Night was cloudy damp. Heard no owls. My MS had 1 Oligo, 4 Abro longi, 2 Abro oliv, 1 Loxodontomys. My Shermands had 2 longi and 1 Chelemys. Sage's MS had 3 Oligo, 2 longi, and 3 oliv. His Shermands had 3 Oligos. Total catch for 81 traps = 22 mice = 27.2%, Oligos 7= 8.5%; longis 8=9.9%. Saved 2 live longi to test whether they eat quintral fruit. Processed mice in morning (obercast), then north to San Martin de los Andes. Heavy overcast all the way, the autumn colors still about a week short of maximum, but the road not bad. Talked with Sanguinetti in the Intendencia of Parques in San Martin, but he had no new information on ratadas beyond those quoted above. If I got it right the park guard at Hua Hum had mice including a Geoxus floating in his water source.

Drove to Hua Hum at the extreme western end of Lago Lacar, good unpaved road all the way,. At the eastern end of the road you go through scrubby Nothofagus looking like blue oak savanna in California, then it becomes more forested with bamboo. Have seen not a single blooming bamboo. Camped at the edge of big, 20 ha? meadow among blackberryy bushes with ripe fruit, rosa mosqueta, radal, nire, and bamboo, between the aduana's home and the official Aduana station. Only a couple of km to the Chilean border. Hardly any traffic in spite of the good, unpaved road. I put out 24 Shermans and 24 MS in rosa/bamboo/blackberry. Sage set 26 MS and 30 Shermans in forest (pellin and bamboo). April 30- Night cloudy drizzly, no wind, not cold. Heard teros at dawn, butter seen none on this trip. Justin and Mathew saw and heard what was probably a Rattus molesting a MS that had an Oligo in it. My MS held 6 Oligos, 1 Abro longi, and 2 oliv. My Shermans held 1 big Rattus, 1 Oligo, 1 longi. Sage's MS held 5 Oligos, 1 longi, and 2 oliv; his Shermans 1 Oligo and 1 longi. Total traps 104, total catch 22 = 21.2%; Oligo 13 = 12.5%; longi 4 = 3.8%. The two Abro longis, in separate cages, ate all of their quintral berries. One flake of rolled oats was left in one cage. One of the Oligos dissested and one of the Abro olivaceus dissested had stomachs bulging with blackberry fruits. The rosa fruits are everywhere also. A resident of the area didnt know anything about a ratada here. Saved lungs of three Oligos that had been killed by monoxide, but none of them was hemorrhagic. In the afternoon, cloudy, I put out 18 Shermans and 18 MS in new habitat about same as last night's. Mathew and Justin put out 15 MS and 15 Shermans in coihue/bamboo forest. May 1- Hua Hum. Night overcast. Heard a cat yowling in the night. My 18 MS held 8 Oligo; my 18 Shermans held 3 Oligo and 1 Abro longi. Justin and Mathew in their 15 MS had 2 oligo, 1 oliv, and 1 Loxodontomys. In their 15 Shermans: 1 Rattus (released), 3 Oligos, 2 abro sp? total in 6 traps: 22 mice = 33.3%; 16 Oligos = 24.2%; 4 to 6 longi = 6.1 to 9.1%. Kept 2 of the Oligos alive to test whether they eat quintral berries. Chimangos and caranchos have come to discarded mouse carcasses; lots of what whets around, some chucuo, and California quail. Sage had 12 Shermans baited with pheasant pate; he caught 1 Oligo. All his traps were set up off the ground.

At the eastern end of the road you go drove to Hua Hum at the extreme western end of Lago Ibar, good

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. Then toward home past La Rinconada and down the Rio Collon Cura. About three-quarters of the way down the valley, we saw and photoed a group of guanacos that were close to the road and not very scary, and then only a couple of hundred meters farther along was a group of rheas, not at all scary. Also on this stretch, one Gerronautes feeding on a dead roadkill hare. Lots of new pine trees along Estancia Chacabuco. Stopped in the Valle Encantado at sunset for yerba, then home to Bariloche at about 8 p.m. May 3.- Bariloche. Wrote notes. Clara visited. 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

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.

No text detected

Pearson - 1998 JOURNAL - 1998B October 23- San Francisco-Miami-BuenosAires-Bariloche. Arrived Bariloche about 4 pm. The steppe from the plane looked very dry. Scattered pale blowouts (round plantless areas of one or a few acres) between Rio Colorado and Pilcaniyeu. Could they be overgrazed viscacha colonies? A few sheep grazing on the Estancia El Condor mallin, but the mallines only slightly green. Weather at Bariloche balmy and sunny. The newspaper says it is the driest year since 1987, and local people say it was a warm winter with little snow. The snow pack on the hills right now is pretty skimpy. The leaves on the lombardy poplars are just coming out, a few Scotch Broom blooming, the notros along the streets are beginning to bloom. Leaves not out on the big walnut next door. October 24- Car started up reluctantly, one tire flat. Took it to a body-work man to fix up last May's scrape; will rent a Renault 19 for a week. Coffee with Leopold Barratta across the street (landlord of our parking space). Day was warm and sunny (low 70s). October 25- Bariloche. Minimum overnight 50, cloudy in a.m. Drove to La Veranada and counted bamboos. Along Lago Gutierrez many apple trees were in full bloom, some Scotch Broom. The nires at our study site were either not at all leafing out or just beginning to leaf out. Dandelions were blooming; calafate Berberis just starting to bloom, . Cloudy all day, even a few sprinkles. Clump E2 was not vigorous, as usual; E3 had 26 dead shoots (at least 17 of them parasitized) and 56 yearlings, hence had produced at least 82 new shoots. Many live culms from 1984-85 season still hanging in there (but two of them dead). Hence, we found 10 of the 11 culms marked in that season Heard Magellanic woodpeckers, saw chimangos there. Some tuco diggings but no earth cores (not enough snow?). The newspaper reports several Hanta Virus cases from the La Plata-Magdalena region of the Pampa, blames Oligo flavescens. Papers also report killing frosts in the lower valley of the Rio Negrolate in August and early September, ruining apple and pear crops and stone fruits. Also, something like 6% of Argentina was underwater during the floods in the northeastern Provincves. Maximum temp during day was 73°. Oct. 26- Minimum temp overnight 55°. Morning clear, showers at 1 pm, then clear again. Left the van at the body shop, then went to Parques for permits. Saw Miguel Gross, Chehebar, Ramilo, Gustavo Iglesias, and Anais. Michael Christie has an apartment in Buenos Aires and has sold his

No luck so far with real estate people re. selling the apartment. Maximum temp during day was 64°. October 27- Bariloche. Low 48°, high 62° Morning clear, but later cloudy and a few sprinkles at Llao Llao. Contacted Heidi Schneiterman to sell apartment. At 4 p.m. drove out to Llao Llao. Lots of Scotch Broom blooming, not full bloom buit almost. Stopped to take a quick look at some possible trapping habitat in the forest, took a wrong turn, and ended up wandering trails for an hour before emerging onto the road again. Bamboo same, no signs of bloom. Lots of small dried llao llaos on the trails. Ended up putting traps on the same lines a little beyond Lago Escondido. I set 20 Shermans and 20 Museum Specials; Anita set 21 of each.. Finished just before dark. Windy, cool, sprinkles. October 28- Bariloche. Some rain during the night, and Cerro Blanco was white this morning, plus new show on Cerro Lopez etc. Overnight minimum 45°. Ground not wet; scattered clouds. Picked up the tr aps at Llao Llao at 9 a.m. About half of my MS were sprung-empty; rain? My 20 MS held 2 Oligo and 2 Abro longi. My Shermands held 4 Abro longi and 1 Abro olivaceus. Anita's 21 MS held 1 Oligo and 1 oliv; 4 were sprung-empty. Her 21 Shermans held 1 Geoxus (alive), 3 olivaceus, 1 longipilis, and 1 Oligo. We released the live Geoxus and the live olivaceus. Many of the Shermans had small slugs in them. Since Geoxus never goes for the bait, maybe it got vaught in the "Sherman when it entered chasing slugs? The total catch in 82 traps was 17 mice; =20.7% trap success for all species; 4.9% for Oligos; and 8.5% for longipilis. Then checked out the bamboo clump in the forest at the crossroads of the trails. A big limb of an Arayan tree had bent and broken a few culms of our clump. Marked all the new yearlings and counted dead shoots. No new shoots. Many Berberis darwinii bushes in full bloom. Afternoon sunny, windy. Processed mice in the afternoon. The Oligos, male and female, are breeding, unlike last year. The male Abro longis are full breeding, and the females are estrous or open vaginas or corpora lutea, unlike last year. Most lungs were not hemorrhagic, stomachs mostly full. No individuals were fat. October 29- Morning sunny, warm. Went to Parques in morning, but my permits not ready yet. Thendrove out to the Llao LlaoPeninsula and explored the

Pearson - 1998 3 Villa Tacul road. It goes through fairly open coihue forest, passes one big meadow, then comes to another meadow with several roads branching off in different directions, but several go down to the beaches and have lovely picnic places and fire places. We stopped at a beach near where a stream enters the lake,backed by a slope of enormously tall coihues, bamboo understory. The road and electric line continues on to a big home, and other homes visible on other slopes. The old ruined concrete buildingout on the point is still there but none of the roads seemed to go to it anymore. I put out 22 MS and 22 Shermans; thee near a trash container at the campsite, about 15 along a road leading to the lake and to an occupied old cabin. The road was lined with Rosa, escaped cherries in boom, old and escaped apple trees, Scotch Broom, some huge old Lombardy poplars with many "nests" of blooming quintral. Thren set the rest in dense grass, ungrazed meadow. Rosa was invading aggressively around the edges, big conifers limiting one side of the meadow, and threeor four huge felled conifers out in the meadow, being surrounded by rosa. They were 60 years old, grew out in the open, and had been cut maybe 5 years ago. Anita set along our road. She set in rosa and other bushes, then out onto a grassy meadow with lots of rosa. She set 27 MS and 27 Shermans. Then we pulled into a side branch into coihue/cipres forest with bamboo understory; a few arrayanes. The afternoon was sunny and windy, many tero-teros in a nearby marsh, and a pair of owls barking near our sleeping bags. The calls were a mixture of barks and churrs; ?Strix? One of them barked again later during the night. Saw no signs of mice when I got up in the night. Night clear. October 30- Roosters crowing in several directions in the morning (sunny, warm, calm. Morning sunny, no wind; a touch of frost in the grassy meadow, but soon warming up. A clump of dead bamboo near our sleeping bags had bloomed 1 or 2 years ago; it had a hundred culms, all of them small. My 21 MS held 1 Oligo and 1 Abro longi. My 21 Shermans held 4 Abro longi and 1 Abro oliv. Anita's 27 MS held 1 longi and her 27 Shermans hekl'd 2 longi. Summary: 96 trap nights; 1 Oligo =1% trap success, 8 Abro longi = 8%; and overall trap success 10 mice = 10.4% . Dissected the mice at Villa Tacul (but released the Abro oliv.). Dissections revealed no fat mice, all big (and old?), all breeding. A completely different picture than last year. While we were skinning, a female hummingbird came to a 3/4-dead big cipres in fron of the car, entered a hollow in the trunk about 5 feet above ground, and stayed there about half a minute dipping her head again and again. There was no moisture there, a few blobs nearby of dry resin, but lots of a dry white encrustation. Nothing burned. Was she looking for

Morning clear, warm, no wind. In afternoon went up Cerro Otto to our two bamboo clumps. The meadow was green and full of dandeliond in bloom. Numerous tuco diggings but no earth cores and no snow at all. One place between our two bamboos had a tuco digging that must have contained 20 to 30 buckets of earth. Various places along the road that usually have standing water were dry. The bamboo that had been cut to make ski runs has come back and makes it difficult to descend from the road to our clumps. The lengas are well leafed out, the white pines have grown rapidly and are volunteering in several places. The pilo- pilo is in bloom and more abundant than before. The dead bamboo culms that had been cut and were lying on the ground 15 years ago are still there. Numerous yearling culms at both clumps, but there is a difference in that most of the yearlings at the forest clump had dead tops, surely parasitized, and there were lots of dead shoots almost all of which were parasitized, whereas at the clump out in the open, only a few of the yearling culms had dead tops and there were almost no dead shoots. In past years there have been very few dead shoots at that clump. Presumably the parasitic moths don't get out there on the open slope. The canes are tightly packed at both clumps. The clump out in the open as well as its neighbors have yellowish leaves, butt it keeps on producing new culms. It still has at least two live culms marked as yearling in 1984. Ditto the clump in the forest. The afternoon was sunny, warm, scattered clouds, no wind, high 82°. This is remarkably warm dry weather for October. November 1- Bariloche. Morning sunny, warm. Overnight low 52°. Went up to the Univeristy to collect calendulas. Warm, no wind, high 79°. Then to dinner with Patricia and Jorge Vallerini. Jorge says the lake is as low now as it usually is at the end of the summer in March; that's how dry the weather has been. And lambs are dying out on the steppe because the mothers cant find enough food. November 2- overnight low 52°, daytime high 82°. Got my permit from Parques. The girl who was studying nest predation last year (from San Jose and UC Santa Cruz) is a competent artist, novia of the ant biologist at Ecotono; her name is Anya Elisabet Iles. At 6 p.m put out traps along Arturo Tarak's road (ConCon) close to where it leaves the paved road. This is 1 km west of where the paved road crosses the railroad track, about 2km nearer town from where Anita and I trapped last year, and maybe 4 km closer to town than the Aeroclub. The trapping area is a big field (for sale) lightly grazed by horses, but

Lots of rosa mosqueta, neneo, Acaena, Colletia, cardoncito (Eryngium), Scotch broom, a couple of maitens and talas, some Berberis, pines along two edges, the fence in disrepair; some tuco diggings, saw quail, no hare droppings, no Reithrodon droppings. Why not? Anita and I each put out 25 MS and 25 Sherms. Sunny, warm, not windy. Home at 8 p.m. This locality is about 3.6 km SW of the Aeroclub flying field, or 8 km ENE of the center of Bariloche. November 3.- Morning sunny; overnight low 57°; high for day 72°. Picked up traps at 8 a.m. Total catch in 100 traps was: 11 Oligoryzomys, 4 Abro longi, 2 Loxodontomys, 3 Abro xantho, 1 Geoxus. Overall trap success 21%; Oligo success 11%; Abro longi trap success 4%. Released one live xantho and 1 live Loxodontomys. Five of my Museum Specials were sprung empty, 8 of Anita's. 4 of the Oligos were in Sherms and 7 in MS; 1 of the longis was in a Sherman and 3 in MS. The Geoxus was in MS out in the open; its stomach was very full of whitish glop with scattered fragments of chitin, didnt see any setae. Note that all except one of the Oligos had up to 5 big tapeworm cysts in the liver; also the Loxodontomys but not any of the four Abro longi. See also the 4 dissections below. Akmost everybody in breeding condition. Some of the Oligos had some green glopin the stomach. Loxodontomys female: 220x90x27 66g vagina open; preg. 3 fetus, 15CR, short tapeworms loose in abdominal cavity. Liver ok. Lungs ok. Geoxus female: 136x36x21 34g. Stomach full, dark; considerable mammary tissue. Uterus dark, no scars. Liver ok. Lungs ok. Abro. xantho. female: 122x48x19 13.5g. Nose and feet yellow. Uterus 1 mm, white, no scars. Liver ok. Lungs ok. Abro. xantho. female: 115x49x19 14g. Uterus 1mm, pink, no scars. Liver ok. Lungs ok. November 4- Bariloche. Minimum overnight 46°; max 70°. Sunny and warm all day, not windy. The newspaper says that the rivers, especially in the Neuquen drainage are the lowest in many years because of little rain and the rapid melt of the little snow that fell. The level of the Rio Neuquen this year is similar to that registered in the years 1909, 1968, and 1996. Conditions no better on the Rio Limay and the Rio Collon Cura. At 6 p.m. put out traps east of town between the dirt road and the railroad track a couple of km nearer town than the Aeroclub. Same place as last year. Incredibly dense and diverse mixture of shrubs and grasses: rosa, Scotch Broom, neneo, Colletia, Eryngium, Acaena, Berberis, grass, retamo, a few chacay trees, a coupleof apples in bloom, and a few big palo pichis. Anitas and I each put 25 MS and 25 Sherms, total 100 traps.

Pearson - 1998 6 Last year we called this location 11 km ENE Bariloche. Then explored the area between the highway and the mouth of the Rio Nirihuao. A lot of dense grass, willows, rosa, chacay, some swampy spots, lots of tuco sign in spite of what must be a high water table. Almost sand dunes in places. Home at nine. November 5- Bariloche. Morning clear, calm, overnight minimum 45°. Picked up traps at 7:30 a.m. The 50 Museum Specials held 5 Oligo and 7 Abro longi. The 50 Shermans held 1 juvenile Oligo, 7 Abro longi, 1 Abro xantho, and 1 Geoxus. Why are we getting so many Geoxus? Released the xantho and the Geoxus, processed all the Oligos and the Abro longis. Almost all of the Oligos had tapeworm cysts in the liver; one of them, the juvenile, had 21 cysts! The liver looked like a bunch of grapes. No mice were fat. All the male longi were breeding, and one of the females pregnant. Total trap success was 22%, success for Oligo 6%; success for Abro longi 14%. Someone broke into our rental car overnight and stole the radio. We seem to have sold the apartment. Heidi Schneiter, the real estate agent, is coming this afternoon to fill us in. At 7 p.m. went to a lecture on the local condors, sponsored by SNAP. Lorenzo Sympson showed lides and told about a nest he had watched, together with a japanese group who were climbers and who set up a remote camera to keep track of what went on. Then the guy from the Buenos Aires Zoo told about the captive breeding program in B.A. and the release in Valle Encantado. Included were videos of the first flight of one or more of the captive-reared birds, and he told about a group of 7 wild condors that came over at the time of the release of the captive-reared ones. Some of the released birds are carrying satellite-tracking radios, I think being managed by someone at Univ. Calif. at Santa Cruz. Lorenzo is going up to California later this month to consult with him and with a television promoter in Oakland. The room was packed, lots of children, complex projection with some failures. Their radio traking traced birds as far north as Alumine and to 80 km south of the Confluencia release site. Patricia Fierro was there; she knows a lady who saw us trapping on Con Con Road and would welcome us trapping on her place nearby. November 6- Bariloche. Morning sunny, calm; banks closed. Overnight minimum 51°; high during day was 73°. Clouded up in middle of the afternoon. Drove down to Eileen and John's tuco study site 10 km N of the outlet of the lake. They and Lisa were out on the study area, which is seriously degraded by the tucos. Burrows everywhere. While we were walking around the area, John saw an unmarked, 2-week-old tuco hiding in the dirt at a plugged burrow. He caught it and took it back to camp to

November 6 - Bariloche. Morning sunny, calm; banks closed. Overnight clouded up, high middle of the sky was 73 degrees. Drove down to Eileen and John's tuco study site 10 km N of the outlet of the lake. They and Lisa were out on the study area, which is seriously degraded by the tucos. Burrows everywhere. While we were walking around the area, John saw an unmarked, 2-week-old tuco hiding in the dirt at a plugged burrow. He caught it and took it back to camp to be x-rayed. November 5 - Bariloche. Morning clear, calm; overnight minimum 42 degrees. Picked up trips at 7:30 a.m. The 50 Museum Species held 2 Oligos and 7 Abro longis. The 50 Spermans held 1 juvenile Oligo, 7 Abro longis, 1 Abro xantho, and 1 Geoxus. Why are we getting so many Geoxus? Released all the xantho and the Geoxus, processed all the Oligos and the Abro longis. Almost all of the Oligos had tapeworm cysts in the liver; one of them, the juvenile, had 21 cysts! The liver looked like a bunch of grapes. No mice to eat the females. All the male longis were breeding and one of the males was pregnant. Total trip success was 22%, success for Oligo longis 44%. Abro longis 14%. Someone broke into our rental car overnight and stole the radio. We seem to have sold the apartment. Heidi Schmetter, the real estate agent, is coming this afternoon to fill us in.

mark. For the third year in a row, an adult male has moved from one colony to the adjacent colony. They say there are lots of tucos this year, including lots of radio tagged ones from last year (with batteries run down). John sees mice during the day frequently; his description sounds like Reithrodon which is supposed to be nocturnal. Maybe Loxodontomys, although they dont have big ears? Also, his description of the color, same as the baby tuco he was holding, is not quite right for Reithrodon. There are many Reithdon droppings around. Only 200 m away I caught, years ago, a tuco in a burrow early in the evening and then, later that night, a Reithrodon coming out of the same burrow as the tuco. John says that they seem to eat Senecio during the winter but not in the spring-summer. Many colonies seem to be centered around a chacay tree, or a clump of same. John says it has rained once since they arrived 2 weeks ago. Novemeber 7- Bariloche. Overnight low 56°; afternoon high 66°. Got the car back from the body shop and puttered around town. Tommy Christie came by, might want to buy the apartment. He is embarked on a 5-year course in software engineering. November 8- Bariloche. Overnight low 51°; high 64°. Midday sunny, not windy. At about 10:30 we drove out to the Laguna de los Juncos on Estancia San Ramon. Road in good shape; 3 squashexd hares en route. The lake is completely dry, most of the basin covered with short green vegetation. No water birds, but a half-dozen ibis feeding out in the dry lake bottom. No condors on the cliff behind Marful's schoolhouse, and none on the cliffs at the east end of Arroyo La Fragua. The big meadow east of the lake at the brick factory was very dry, no moisture in the low places. Lots of tuco and Reithriodion holes, and lots of scattered Reithrodon pellets but not many big accumulations. Some hare sign. This is much more sign of Reithrodon than in recent years but not as great as in the year we studied them here. Then drove east to Marful's gate east of the last cliffs, but his gate was locked and no car at the house. At the First Summit we checked for droppings: quite a few Reithrodon, and Anita found two Euneomys droppings. The Villegas mallin not very green, and there hasbeen at least one more big fire. Lots of dead pines behind the school house, the entrance to lower La Fragua Canyon. Almost no sheep or cattle seen, a few horses. The Notro trees on our street in town are in full bloom. Clouded up in Bariloche later in the afternoon. November 9- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 42. Day sunny, warm, no wind.

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.

Pearson - 1998 9 Matuz, the old caetaker, died about a month ago. Another middle-aged gent was in charge. He gave me 4 Sherman traps that had been found after our last visit. He had them set in the barn--a marvelous old galpon that Matuz had buillt of cipres trunks (vertical), shingles split from cipres, etc. Both Willinkk and this gent say no mice. The nires are well leafed out. A couple of cows wandering around. Camped at our same spot along the river near the soccer field. A pair of geese in the meadow. Anita put out 56 traps and I put out 50, half Shermans half MS. Foud a Sherman and a MS while I was setting. The Sherman had a dried Oligo corpse in it. Evenng clear, not windy. November 12-- The caretaker said yesterday that there is no Rosa here because it is a plague and theycut it out. I found two clumps and cut them with machete. My MS traps held one wren, 3 sprung empty. My Shermans held 1 Oligo, 2 Abro longi, and 3 Abro oliv. Anita had one longi in a MS and one in a Sherman. Total score in 106 traps: I oligo, 4 longi, and 3 oliv. One of the olives escaped. Both of our trap lines were repeats of lines run last spring and last autumn. First half of the night was crystal clear; second half partly cloudy. Light dew in the morning. Sunny morning. Jacklighting for about 100m out toward the meadow lat night saw nothing. Dissected mice in the morning. Everybody breeding. Discarded the followwing two Abro olivaceus: Male 180x78x23x26.5g. no scars on tail, no fat, testis 11mm, sv 14, liver ok, lungs ok. Male not saved 183x85x22x33g. 2 scars on tail, no fat, testis 11, sv 16, lliver ok, lungs ok. While picking up my trapline, I found one MS and two Shermans, both Shermans with dried corpse of a nouse in it, one was an Oigo, other not identified. At 3:30 p.m. put out new traplines up the road, Some traps at the water-flow measuring station and some a few hundred yards farther west in nire/bamboo/Berberis, Anita put a total of 50, half and half, and I put out two lines; the second line hd 44 traps, half and half, alternating Shermans and MS. My first line had ?? traps. A few sprinkles while we were setting, but day mostly sunny and warm. November 13- Lago Espejo Chico. Night partly cloudy. Saw no animals while jacklighting briefly. Heard no owls. Our 15 Shermans and 15 MS at the gate in coihue/bamboo logs forest caught 2 Ako longi in Museum specials and 3 Ako longis in Shermans. This line is not really at the gate but at the Aforo on the river, where they measure stream flow. My other line in nire/bamboo/berberis/chaura had 22 MS and 22 SHermans and

Total number of traps out was 110. Hence zero trap success for Oligoryzomys and 7.1% for Abro longi. Released none, dissected all; all breeding or close to it. All livers were OK, almost all lungs ok. I guess we have shown that the scarcity of Oligo at Espejo Chico 2 km away is not due to overtrapping last spring and autumn. Light rain about noon time and still drizzling at 3:30 when we left. A different caretaker, young guy, agreed that there were few mice, even in the barn. We drove "north" from Ruca Malen looking for trappings sites with Rosa. Oodles of lupine along the road, not quite blooming. Lots of rosa, but no signs of old fruits on it. Stopped on a side road between the road and Lake Correntoso, about 4 km ESE of our campsite at Lago Espejo Chico. This is on the old roadbed that was cleared 25 years ago, deep layers of pumice. My line of 50 traps, half Shermans, covered the old abandoned roadbed with bamboo, Berberis, lupine, rosa, big old coihues, big chaura-like bushed, and many piles of old old tree trunks left over from when they cleared the forest to make a new road, which never got made. Wee drizzle, then cleared. Anita set 50 traps, half Shermans, in a line of Berberis, bamboo, and rosa. Then another line along logs of 10 snap traps. Hence total of 110 traps. November 14- Lago Correntoso. A couple of showers during the night, morning mostly cloudy but clearing about 11 a.m. .a dusting of snow on the the trees high up on the other side of the lake. Only one of my Museum Specials was sprung and empty, hence the rain not a problem. My 25 MS held 3 Oligo, 4 Abro longi, and 1 Geoxus. My 25 Shermans held 7 longi, 1 Chelemys, and 1 Abro olivaceus; released the Chelemys and the olivaceus.. Anita's 23 MS held 4 longi, and 1 Loxodontomys and a wren, Her 23 Shermans held 1 Geoxus, 1 Loxodontomys, and 2 longi. Total in 110 traps was: 3 Oligo (2.7% success), 16 Abro longi (14.5%), plus 2 Geoxus and 2 Loxodontomys and one escaped Loxo or Abro olivaceus. Total trap success 24 mice (21.8%). Four were discarded: two Geoxus, their data lost somewhere in the computer but consisting of one adult male with big testes and a female with 4 embryos, plus two Loxodontomys as follows: Loxodontomys m. 167x79x27 28g testis 3.5mm; sv tiny; liver ok; lungs ok Loxodontomys m. 170x78x28 28g testis 4.5mm; sv tiny; liver & lungs ok

Pearson - 1998 These two juveniles were hard to distinguish from Abro olivaceus. The bigger feet, fluffier fur, bigger eyes, and Microtine less pointy nose are diagnostic. A lot of my traps were at the piles of old logs, but not more than 5 to 10 meters from rosa, and or bamboo, Berberis, chaura, lupine, a few big overmature coihue trees. A few chauras had spherical lavender fruits, and a few Berberis darwinii had both flowers and mature blue fruits (from last season?). This locality on the map seems to be about 4 km ESE of the campground at Lago Espejo Chico, and about 1 km NW of the big chacra Hosteria 7 Lagos, or 3 km SE Ruca Malen. Comparcd with EspejoChico, the forest here is coihue instead of nire, there is more tall bamboo here, and of course there is lots of rosa here and almost none at Espoejo Chico. The rosa, incidentally, hardly ever has last year's fruits on it. In the idssected mice, most lungs were OK, none had tapeworm cysts in the liver, none were fat, and all were breeding or almost breeding. No juveniles except the two Loxodontomys above. Started home about 3 p.m., sunny, by way of Portezuelo and Villa Traful. The bamboo disappears abruptly long before you get down to Villa Traful. Spectacular even-aged stands of coihue with no understory. In several places large numbers of dead trunks strewn around as though there had been avalanches of snow or rocks. Several people were walking up toward our Cueva Traful when we went past. Also there werre 3 Mercedes and a BMW on the road between Confluencia and Estancia Primavera (Turner and Fonda ranch). The Alicura reservoir was very low, with sandbars etc. at Confluencia and for a km or so up the Limay from there in theValle Encantado. That most scenic spot has been ruined. The landcape along the Rio Limay between Confluencia and Lake Nahuel Huapi is pathetically dry. There are zillions of new pine trees planted on the east side of the Limay. It was the first day of the fishing season, with lots of cars on the road, but no squashed hares all day. Home at 7:30 p.m. Max-Min while we were away was 44-72. November 15- Bariloche. Clear all day. Went to the Fluek's new house above Lago Gutierrez. Log cabin type construction using cipres logs, cipres flooring, metal roof. Werner did most of the construction, and it is superb, many innovative features. Down below them, on the highway, is an old sawmill that ran on water power; I think some of the machinery is still there. He has been consulting on red deer at Estancia Chacabuco, owned by several European business men, including the owner of Quilmes beer. TheAdministrador is Peter Simpson's son-in-law, who seems to be listening (unlike Peter) when Werner tells him that the red deer have

Overnight low 44, afternoon high 69. Sunny all day. Tire repair, real estate (Heidy). and Eileen, John, and Lisa came by. Eileen says the tucos are running late this year, unlike the Notro trees, which are 2 to 3 weeks early early this year. They have a Gerhonaetes nest near their camp, with young in it. John told about seeing a tuco and a Reithrodon emerge from the same hole near the pine trees on the Estancia Fortin Chacabuco driveway. That was a couple of years ago. November 17- Bariloche.

Went up to the University to see Dora Grigera or Carmen Ubeda. Neither was available but talked with the two owl-pellet girls. They are struggling with trying to te ll Bubo from Tyto pellets. They have been getting pellets from an owl at La Lipela, lots of tucos but all are haigii, I told them that sociabilis is diurnal, so they figure that their owl is crossing the Rio Lijay. Their owls in general have been catchinv very few Reithrodon. Day sunny and warm. At 5:30 p.m. drove to the east end of the lake and set traps in the flats between the highway and the lake. This is where the Rio Nirihuau empties into the lake. There are a few low marshy places with water, but mostly it is grassy bushy with willows. Some parts seem to be heavily grazed by horses, but other parts very dense grass with weeds such as dock, ungrazed. Lots of Rosa, numerous chacay bushes and trees, lupine just coming into bloom, Scotch Broom, Berberis, a few Colletia, a few Adesmia, some poplar trees, and willows along a low drainage. Many Acaena, no neneo, a few palo pichi. I put out 22 MS and 22 Shermand; Anita put out 25 MS and 25 Shermans. She saw lots of Reithrodon droppings and at least one busy Reithrodon hole while setting, plus signs of rosa fruits being eaten and leaves of lupine cut by mice. By the time she had finished setting out her line, about sunset, she had caught three Abro. longi. in Museum Specials. Near the end of the road in, shere we camped, is a sandy ridge maybe 2 m high; it had nurnerous tuco borrows in it. I set 5 steel traps in these burrows. Evening clear, calm, warm.

Total trap success for 94 traps =17%, success for Oligo 5.3%, success for Abro longi. 8.5%. My 5 steel traps caught 2 tuco tucos that look like haigii. A police car came and checked up on us in the middle of the night. No mice seen during brief jacklighting. Back to Bariloche at 9 a.m. Yesterday's low and high were 55-83, and last night's low in Bariloche was 61*. This locality will be known as Rio Nirihuau (Mouth), 14 km NE Bariloche. The following Loxodontomys were dissected; nothing saved. Also one big adult was released alive: Males: 237x97x29 73g Testis 10mm; liver ok, lungs hemo. 236x99x30 66g Testis 9mm; liver ok, lungs ok. 226x89x28 62g Testis 8mm; liver ok, lungs hemo.

He says everyone agrees that there are lots of hares this year and still denies my impression that there are many fewer hares squashed on the roaods than there used to be. He says that the ranchers have convinced the government that they should forbid commercial harvesting of hares and have also inaugurated a bounty on foxes and pumas! He was preparing videos of various INTA projects such as Desertification.

Pearson - 1998 14 went down the burrow. Saw no other mice. Night was clear, calm, cold, brilliant stars. Heard no owls. November 22- Morning sunny, calm, low fog over the Rio Limay and the study area. John and Eileen agree that there is enough above-ground activity by adult sociabilis in early eveng hours to expose them to owl predation. Returned to Bariloche at 10 a.m. after photoing at Rincon Grande. There had been fire at Arroyo Corral. Overnight low in Bariloche had been 52°, afternoon high 70° Karl Holznagel, son of a friend of Mary Taylor's, came by. Took him to lunch, then out to the Llao Llao Peninsula sightseeing. He has worked as a fishing guide in Alaska, and has just been hired as a fishing guide by a professional guide in San Martin de los Andes. Karl had been fishing on the lower Rio Traful and happened to meet Larivierre in the coffee shop at the gas station at Confluencia! The broom is still in rampant bloom, not many bamboo shoots visible. November 23- Bariloche. Overnight low 48°. Peter Simpson, at the post office, when asked about the feeding range of radio-tagged condors, said that they don't have to go more than a few kms because there are so many starving sheep on the steppe and so many carcasses of shot red deer. I don't think his answer was based on real data from Lorenzo- who is in California with his Santa Cruz colleague. Arturo Tarak is living on his farm outside of town. Day sunny and warm. November 24- Overnight low 46*; high in afternoon 66. Sunny, some wind. Morning spent getting documents relating to sale of the van, with Gustavo, then lunch at Ghisela Christie's home. Lots of talk about Michael's childhood, the Rumboll-Tarak-Christie episode in the history of the National Park school for parkguards, etc. Ghisela is sure that Tarak was responsible for ousting Rumboll, and that Tarak alienated everybody. While Michael was in Berkeley he was promised a good job in Parks, and they assured him that his US citizenship would not matter, but the day after he arrived in Argentina it turned out that they could not hire a foreigner for that position. Hence the circuitous route of INVAP hiring him for Parks, then he was supposed to run the School on Isla Victoria and work for Parks in Bariloche also. This was while they were livingout at Llao Llao. November 25- Cloudy. Overnight low 50°. Morning wrestling with papers for the sale of the car. Then in the late afternoon put out traps on the Llao Llao Peninsula. Some at the rosa/grassy entrance from the road toward our bamboo clump B2, some at the little rosa/grassy clearing at the bamboo c lump, some around the parking lot/meadow across the road from the City Park Guard's house, and some in the first meadow along the road back to

Pearson - 1998 Villa Tacul. All had lots of rosa mosqueta, then various mixtures of bamboo, coihue, arrayan, etc. The Villa Tacul was especially lush with lots of rosa plus very dense grass only slightly grazed by horses. A total of 100 traps out, half Sherman, half MS. The park guard remembered us from last year, said there were very few mice this year,and still thinks the outbreak might have been due to flowering bamboo (two clumps near his house flowered). Then we camped at a picnic ground on the lake beyond his house. A few wee drizzles at dusk and a few more during the night. Heard no owls but lots of chimangos at this picnic spot. Parrots across the road from the Park Guard, plus a pair of grey-necked geese and some doves there also. November 26- Drizzle in the morning and most of the day. Overnight minimum in Bariloche was 52°, yesterday's max 65°. Picked up the traps early and returned to Bariloche by 9 a.m. There was an Irenomys in a MS in the grassy glade near bamboo B2 and a baby Oligo in a MS under a rose bush across the road from the parkguard house. In Shermans there were a large Oligo and an Abro olivaceus in theVilla Tacul meadow. The total catch in Shermans was these two plus 5 Abro longipilis; the rest of the catch was in MS traps. Total for the 100 traps was: 1 Irenomys, 1 Abro oliv, 2 Oligoryzomys, and 12 Abro longi. = 16% catch for all species, 2% Oligo, and 12% longipilis. I listed only the big Oligo in my catalog as coming from Villa Tacul, and the olivaceus in my journal, but actually several of the longipilis came from there also. They are maybe 2 km apart. All except the baby Oligo were in breeding condition, none were fat, none had tapeworm cysts in the liver, several had hemorrhagic lungs. Then Thanksgiving dinner at Alberto's restaurant with Eileen. John, and Lisa. Drizzle stopped in the evening. Max temp during the day was 60° The Abrothrix olivaceus, caught in the grassy meadow at Villa Tacul was not saved: male, 159x69x22 28g. testis 12, sv 15; liver ok, lungs ok. November 27- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 48°, afternoon max 62°, sunny and windy. Got the car safety-inspected ($75, no corrections needed except for buying a fire extinguisher and safety signals to put in the road when you are changing a tire). November 28- Bariloche.

Pearson - 1998 16 Afternoon max 77* Drove up the Chahuaco to Refugio Neumeyer in the afternoon. The wildfire of the summer of 1996-1997 did much more damage than I remembered. Along the road in the flats, the nire scrub and retamo were killed back, but are root-sprouting back. The planted pines are dead. What I had not remembered is that hundreds of acres of lenga trees highup on the sides of the valley were killed, and even some of those along the road up the hill to the Refugio. The forest around and above the Refugio is as beautiful as ever. The amancay is almost solid, especially on the east side of the road as you approach the Refugio. The concessionaire says it doesnt bloom at that elevation until February. The lone bamboo clump is thriving, with 4 or more yearling culms. Hardly any birds. No earth cores, which means there wasnt much snow, or there were not many Chelemys, or probably both. We saw very little sign of Chelemys or Geoxus activity. We both kept thinking that there ought to be chipmunks and squirrels in abundance. Since lenga is the only tree in the forest, even if it produced nutritious seeds inmany years, a single bad year would be disastrous to birds and mammals since there are no backup species of trees like oaks or chestnuts. Chipmunks, of course, eat a lot of fungi, and these are probably abundant, but... The rich humus probably supplies grubs and worms, for Chelemys, Geoxus, and Abrothri., The overmature trees are full of larvae, so why arent there more woodpeckers> They sure werent there today. The confiteria concession is run by the Club Andino. The road was ok but not as good as last year; the bridges are scary. November 30- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 53°, max during the day 81°. Went sightseeing with Lisa. Up Cerro Otto and pickniced by the old lenga of my photo, then up to the summit. There is a new exhibit up there, a gallery of Micael Angelo works including a full-sized replica of David (it's huge), and a full- sized Pieta, both done with 80% marble dust and 20% epoxy. Plus photos of other works etc. The marble reproductions seem to me to be marvelous, and how did they ever get David up that awful road to the top? Saw one Condor, and two parafoil "gliders" near it. They both were gaining altitude on updrafts. then down the Limay valley to the Valle Encantado. and home before dark. December 1- Overnight minimum 55°. Just as we were leaving town for Neuquen Adrian Monjeau honked us down. He is still sort of commuting to Mar del Plata and is getting a divorce from Inez. He had been to the SAREM meetings in Iguazu; there were 1200 attendees!! In six hours of driving down the Limay Valley and the Rio Negro, we saw not more than a dozen each of sheep, cows, and horses.

Pearson - 1998 dry dry; fenced all the way, so there were animals there once. From Piedra de Aguila to Plottier, much of the route is monte desert with Larrea bushes and almost nothing in between them. No birds, no squashed hares, no rheas, no guanacos. No Rosa or Scotch Broom after leaving Alicura, maybe even none after leaving Confluencia. We stopped at the dinosaur tracks at the edge of the resevoir at Chocon. There is a metal walkway built above them for observation, but no "concession" or buildings of any sort. Two busloads of schoolchildren. Weather sunny and hot. The tracks are huge, 6 feet apart, wet down with water to make them more visible. Then on to a hotel in Neuquen. December 2- Neuquen. Clear, warm, windy. Went out to the University to the Museum, which is in a new building shared with the Library; entrance to the Museum is through the Library door because it is too windy to use the Museum door. The exhibits and signs are excellent. Several types are on exhibit, including a huge Andesaurus? as it was discovered in the desert, only partly excavated. The biggest beast, Argentinosaurus, is up at Plaza Huincul. Then headed home with a stop in Piedra de Aguila for honeydew melon and a visit to their local museum. We were given a conducted tour through it (no other visitors), mostly historical items such as old Argentine money, stamps etc., but then we came to an exhibit of indian artifacts found in Cueva Traful I ! Our guide said that Borrero had been in the Museum only shortly before we arrived, and that he was going to return tomorrow. Photos of houses in Picun Leufu and Piedra de Aguila. Home at 8:30 p.m. Most noteworth event of the trip was to see the desertification of the route between Collon Cura and Neuquen. No birds except a few chimangos, no livestock, just terribly beat-up desert. Hectares of pampa grass at the Collon end of the stretch with some green below but with the terminalparts all dry. One lagoon with water and flamingos. Numerous Canastero nests but no canasteros seen. We took apart two nests, but nothing ran out. A few burrows in the ground but not looking recent. Saw about 4 squashed hares and one live hare the whole rout, plus one squashed armadillo. The only sheep seen on the way home were four or five between the road and the fence; they had escaped the last roundup. The high temperature at the Neuquen airport yeswterday was 34.5C, and the high today was 36C , the hottest of this spring, which has been unusually warm. December 3- Bariloche. Overnight minimum was 57F. Yesterday's max was 760. Wrote notes and data processing. Clear and sunny all day. Maximum temp in afternoon was 800. December 4- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 60° (sic). Eileen and Lisa came by.

Pearson - 1998 They are finding distressing numbers of lost baby sociabilis tucos. Eileen thinks they might be coming out of their burrows too far, looking for food, and get lost because food is probably scarce because of the drought. Also, it is possible that the mothers are having trouble finding enough food and cannot produce enough milk. I didnt think that nursing was very important for tucos, but who knows. Jorge Vallerini says that lambs are dying out in the steppe because the mothers can't feed them. Afternoon max temp 76*. Walked down to the Paleontology Museum; small but good exhibits. December 5- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 52°; sunny warm. Afternoon max. 82*. Duncan Ralph and Bruce arrived in the evening. I put out 12 traps across the street at Leopoldo Barrata's home, at his requenst. He said he had mice and had tried to poison them, but didnt know with what success. His basement and workshop are a jumble of old skis, bicycles, boxes, wood, etc. December 6- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 60°. Nothing in the traps. Sunny and warm. Drove Duncan and Bruce up to Cerro Catedral where they took off for Refugio Frey. On.y two tiny patches of snow visible from the bottom of the lifts, and Cerro Lopez is almost completely bare. Afternoon high was 68°, a cool wind came up about noon. No mice in the traps at Barrata's house. December 7- Bariloche. Windy night but cklear; minimum 52°. Put up a red bat that Duncan had found dead along the road at Lago Gutierrez. Then drove with him and Bruce and Anita out to the Llao llao Peninsula and Villa Tacul, where we dismembered a pond turtle that Duncan and Bruce had found dead along the shore of Lago Gutierrez. Here are these two kids, they have seen only two animals in months, yet they collected these two species that we have never collected before! Plus they arrived with q giant bumblebee also. Day was clear and warm. Abel Basti and a newspaper photographer came by to photo the red bat. December 8- Sunny and warm. Clara Bosch came by to arrange removal of furniture etc from the apartment. Decemer 8- Bariloche. Clear, sunny, warm, not windy.. Werner Flueck came by. We will probably leave traps and other equipkent at his house above Lago Gutierrez. In the afternoon drove up to Chalhuaco again with Duncan, Bruce and Anita. Saw one hare in the forested ascent. The caretaker said that there had been only a half meter of snow this winter instead of the usual 2 meters. Saw no llao llaos. Back at 7 p.m. December 10- Left on the 8-oclock boat for Puerto Blest, then Duncan and Bruce went on to climb over the Paso de los Nubes to Pampa Linda. We checked on the two bamboo clunps at Puerto Blest; last year saw poor production,

but this year there are many new shoots up to 1.5 m tall. Clump D2, on the west side of the road, was alive and well in spite of the fact that last year it was practically standing in water. Many of the nearby coihue trees were dead, presumably drowned. But this year the ground is dry. Saw a giant bumble bee feeding on blackberry flowers. The count of flowering clumps of bamboo between the camping meadow and El Abuelo was 2 on the river side of the road and 5 on the other side = total of 7. This does not include one blooming across the road from the middle of the camping meadow, which is not quite on our traditional transect. It drizzled much of the afternoon. The little Museum has four Bettinelli paintings of habitats with numerous mice, birds, frogs, etc. We heard no Darwin's frogs during the census, although a few other frogs were calling. One informant said that the bamboo had bloomed last year. When I expressed surprise, he said it must have bloomed because there were a lot mice! This illustrates how thoroughly the local people are tuned in to bamboo story. Stayed overnight in the Hotel at Puerto Blest. I think we were the only guests. The Hotel has a splendid display of color photos of local trees and flowers, done by Maria Belen and Gimenez Gowland of Bariloche. December 11- Morning almost clear at Puerto Blest. Returned on the 9 oclock boat; sunny after only a few miles travel to the east. It was 40°C yesterday in the "Upper Valley" of the Rio Negro, 37.5° at Neuquen, but the high at our apartment in Bariloche was only 77°F. The tour guide on the bus on the way to Puerto Panuelo yesterday asked if I were related to the biologist named Pearson in San Martin de los Andes. The guide had been to the Park Guard School and apparently they had used my key. He just had the town wrong. Dinner with the Fluecks. They are going to store our stuff at their house on Lago Gutierrez. They have never seen turtles in this area. December 12- Overnight minimum 49*; clear. Paper says that the Rio Bio Bio in Chile is at the lowest level ever. All of northern Patagponia seems to be on fire alert. Duncan and Bruce found a juvenile dead Geoxus along a trail. I have also found dead ones along trails. That is another similarity with shrews: scent glands in the skin make them distasteful to carnivores.

Paid bills and talked with Parques. Ramilo and Chehebar did not know of any turtles around here. They got out Cei's book and found several, one of which at least lives farther down the Rio Negro. They decided that the specimen from Lago Gutierrez must be an escaped pet, but none of us really has any clue to identification. Lunch with John and Eileen. They are moving across the river to San Ramon, and waiting to get horses to move up higher in the Cuyin Manzano. John says that after sunset but well before dark the Reithrodons come out and are running every which way. They seem to use tuco burrows, but not neccesarily ones currently occupied by tucons. Then drove Duncan and Bruce up to the top of Cerro Otto for them to camp overnight. It was beginning to cloud up at sunset. Patricia Fierro came by, back from her trip guiding a Stanford group down the Chilean coast to Torres del Paine etc. Wind 80 mph at Torres while she was there. December 15- Overcast!
