M.F.SMITH 1993 JOURNAL 10 km S Comallo, 2900 ft., Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Nov. 26 animals had been caught in daylight. The totals for this site were as follows: 10 Eligmodontia morgani 2 Phyllotis 3 Abrothrix xanthorhina 11 Akodon sp. 2 Reithrodon auritas Out of 179 traps we caught 28 animals. We broke camp and drove back through Comallo, stopping for cold drinks. We chose a new site for trapping along a dirt road off the main gravel road, a few miles from the agricultural station fenced area. We saw three rheas on the road as we drove in. Set all the traps, heading out in various directions. Set in bunch grass and pampas broke, denser shrubs, and along the edge of a wetter marshy meadow. A gaucho rode up on his horse at 7 or 8 pm to see what we were doing. Payne had a conversation with him, but had trouble understanding his speed. He knew less about the animals than many local people Payne has talked with. The gaucho supplied the name Campo General Rosa. We checked the traps before going to bed but there were no animals. It was overcast during the night so it wasn't as cold sleeping out.
