MFSmith 1943 JOURNAL Rio Custano Ove's, Nov. 28 near his house, which was a different site than the stream gauging station Payne had scouted out earlier. We decided to drive as far as we could along the side road beyond Pampa Linda to set up camp for the first night, and stop to try for "Rhodon" mansensis on the way back out the second night. It is not clear that mansensis is anything other than "Rhodon" Luwaeus. We reached a point in the road where a small creek ran across, and decided not to try to drive past it. Set up the tent and set out our traps in intermittent showers. I set 30 Sherman's and 30 Museum specials, Anita set 28/28 Payne set 21 Sherma's and 36 Museum specials. Nov. 29 During the night there was heavy rain, turning to snow. When we went out to check the traps there was much more water everywhere. We had to wade through puddles to get the traps. We were pretty wet and cold by the time we had checked the traps. Many traps were sprung by the rain, but [illegible] we did catch quite a few animals. Abrothrix longipilis 5 + 1 wet animal, probably longipilis. Abrothrix olivaceus 3 Geoxys valdiv 2 Auliscomys micropus 3
