H.F. Smith 1993 JOURNAL El Penasco, 25 km N of Maldonado, Depto Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 18 Rocky the area and along the edge of a field, walking downhill from the house. The other group walked to the end of the driveway and set 10 traps in the bushes at the entrance, and the rest across the road between the abandoned railroad tracks and the edge of a pasture, a strip about 10 meters wide; there was a raised strip with water along the low edge. We checked the traps at about 11:00 pm. One animal in a snap trap in the bushes at the end of the drive. It looked like Mus to me, but it needs to be identified. We had no bags to go on there, and the collection had been locked when I tried to look at it at the Facultad. We ate dinner around midnight. Jito had cooked a delicious stew. Finished processing animals around 2 am. For the Ctenomys Enriquez group is genotyping, taking tissues, and making skins and complete skeletons. For any cricetines (sigmodontines) we are taking tissues to split between Enriquez collection and the other half to be a permanent loan to MVZ.
