M.F. Smith 1993 JOURNAL Las Victorias, 4.2 km E Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Mon Nov. 22 We went out at 6:50 am to check traps. We caught 10 animals out of ~95 Sherman traps. 3 Eligmodontia morgani 2 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 2 Auliscomys micropus 2 Abrothrix longipilis 1 "Akodon" xanthorhinus One Oligoryzomys escaped, and we released the two Abrothrix longipilis. The other animals we took back to process. At 9:00 am we drove to Esino, Papaputi's ecology institute. We got a message there to pick Adrian Monjeau up on the way to the Centro Atómico. We were able to get 10 liters of liquid nitrogen from Scotti, who works there. We processed the animals in the afternoon, saving tissues (kidneys, liver, and heart) in liquid nitrogen, plus a piece of liver in alcohol as a backup for sequencing. We made skins and skulls for at least one specimen of each taxon, and preserved one Eligmodontia in formalin. After dinner we drove out to the west of Bariloche to set traps near an area that had burned a few months ago. We are calling the site Pampa Quemada. I set my traps under bushes on the edge of a grassy area.
