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
