M.F.Smith 1979 JOURNAL 5 mi. S, 2.7 mi. W Truth or Consequences, 4300', Sierra Co., New Mexico Aug.29 Flew from San Francisco to Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Tuesday evening, Aug.28. John and Dave Hafner met me at the airport. Stayed overnight at Dave and Diane's in Albuquerque. John Hafner, Dave Hafner, and I left Albuquerque on Wednesday morning and drove south on Highway 25 on the west side of the Rio Grande River. Our purpose is to collect samples of Thomomys gottae in the zone of contact between the northern type, represented by T.b. conectens from Albuquerque and Bernardo, and T.b. spulenti's, the southern type, from San Marcial and Radium Springs. We decided to collect another reference sample from near Truth or Consequences. Got off the highway at the Cochillo exit and drove east to Elephant Butte, then south west to Truth or Consequences looking for gopher mounds. Drove south from Truth or Consequences on old highway 85 and stopped at Las Palomas to look for mounds in the alfalfa fields. Las Palomas is not a very big town, and there were just a few houses in sight where we stopped. We saw a few mound, then John talked to the rancher and he led us to the other end of the fields, where there was more gopher activity. By late afternoon we had trapped 16 gophers; 6 of these were alive and we kept them in

M.F. Smith 1979 JOURNAL 5 mi. S, 2.7 mi. W Truth or Consequences, 4300', Sierra Co., New Mexico Aug. 29 live traps to be karyotyped later. We drove north to camp at Springtime Canyon campground in Nogal Canyon in the San Mateo Mts, north and west of Truth or Consequences in the Cibola Nat'l. Forest. There is a cattle tank near the campsite which has a wide diversity of bats visiting it at night. However, we didn't have time to net bats because we still had animals to stuff. Dave cooked beans which we had late in the evening. 1 mi. N, 1 mi. W San Marcial, 4700 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico Aug. 30 We drove north to the San Marcial turnoff and drove along a dirt road to San Marcial, which again is just a collection of a few houses. We saw very little activity right next to the river so we headed back west along the dirt road again. We did find some places to set traps in the creosote bush desert, set all along the road between San Marcial and the highway. Eventually we caught 6 animals, 2 of which stayed alive until we got back to Albuquerque to do the karyotyping. San Antonio, 4550 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico Aug. 30 Drove north along the highway to San Antonio, on the north side of the Bosque del Apache Nat'l Wildlife Refuge. There used

M.F. Smith 1979 JOURNAL San Antonio, 4550 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico Aug. 30 to be much more marsh land along the river before dams and other flood control activity along the Rio Grande. At San Antonio we parked in the shade of the old railroad station building. I processed the dead animals from San Mercial while John and Dave set traps along the railroad tracks and at the edge of some fields. Checked the traps a couple times, then went to the Owl Cafe for green chile cheeseburgers. Went back and checked the traps in the dark, and there were several animals. Then drove east on highway 380 and north on a side road on BLM land to camp and process the animals from the night check at San Antonio. Bright flashes of lightning to the north and east. Aug. 31 Pulled the traps at San Antonio in the morning, getting a couple more gophers. A total of 11 animals from San Antonio, 3 of which were alive when we got to Albuquerque to do the karyotyping. Socorro, 4550 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico Aug. 31 Drove north to Socorro, and stopped on the south east edge of town along the railroad tracks. Saw a little activity there, then John talked to a rancher who said he had

JOURNAL Aug 26th, 1973 The whole world seems to be at war. I think it's just as well that I'm not there. It would be a terrible thing if I were involved in something like this. I don't know what to do about it. I can't help feeling that maybe someone is trying to get me into trouble. But I can't see how they could do that without my knowing about it first. So I'll just sit here and wait until things calm down a bit. Maybe then we'll be able to figure out what's going on. In the meantime, let's hope for peace.

M.F. Smith 1979 JOURNAL Aug. 31 Socorro, 4550ft, Socorro Co, New Mexico many gophers in his fields. He had a very big operation. We drove past several corn fields, then finally found some alfalfa fields right next to the river. John set along the edge of the field and Dave and I set along an irrigation canal parallel to the river. Caught several dead animals, then finally got some live ones for karyotyping. Total of 15 animals for Socorro, 5 of which we later karyotyped. Aug. 31 San Acacia, 4700ft, Socorro Co, New Mexico Drove north to San Acacia. Saw some good looking fields on the east side of the highway, west of the railroad tracks. John talked to the rancher and again he said to take all the gophers we wanted, I set along the edge of an alfalfa field. This was the easiest digging I had had so far. X1 X2 dirt road X2 X2 N X2 I caught 3 animals out of my 6 sets. Altogether we got 10 animals, 2 karyotyped. Finished processing these animals after dark. Got back to Albuquerque around 11 PM.

August 31 San Acacia, New Mexico We have made to San Acacia, for some reason I do not remember. I also took an albino quail dog food feeding field on the east side of the field. About twelve or thirteen jays and two turkey vultures were there. I did not take a photo of them as they were too far away to focus on and photograph all at once. I also took a photo of an owl in flight above the field, but it was too fast to focus on and the photo is very blurry. The owl was clearly visible but I could not get a good photo of it. Also saw several road animals: two coyotes and three jackrabbits. One of the coyotes was dead and had been hit by a car. We later buried it. Finally got some good photos of animals for a book on wildlife in New Mexico. August 31 San Acacia, New Mexico I took a photo of a coyote running across the road. It was very fast and I could not get a good photo of it. The photo is very blurry but I can see the shape of the coyote. Also saw several road animals: two coyotes and three jackrabbits. One of the coyotes was dead and had been hit by a car. We later buried it. Finally got some good photos of animals for a book on wildlife in New Mexico.

M.F. Smith 1979 JOURNAL Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sept. 1 Went in to the University of New Mexico to karyotype the 18 live gophers. Also took tissue, stained the slides and left them to dry overnight. Went back to Dave's house to skin animals. Sept. 2 Finished skinning the rest of the animals and I wrote up my journal.

M.F.Smith 1980 JOURNAL 3 mi. S La Joya, 4700', Socorro Co., New Mexico May 11 Flew from San Francisco to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday evening, May 10. Jim and Carol Patton and Dave Hafner met me at the airport. We stayed overnight at Dave and Diane's in Albuquerque. Left on Sunday morning to drive south to La Joya. The purpose of this trip is to follow up on the contact zone located by John and Dave Hafner and me in August-September, 1979. The contact is about 50 miles south of Albuquerque along the Rio Grande between La Joya (Thomomys bottae connectens) and San Acacia (Thomomys bottae opulentis). T.b.connectens has no acrocentric chromosomes, T.b.opulentis has ~15 pairs of acrocentrics. The subspecies are also differentiated genetically (allozymically). We will take tissues from all animals and karyotype any that are caught alive. Pulled off the highway at the La Joya exit. Drove through La Joya and south along a dirt road past one windmill and camped at near the second windmill. Split up to set out traps. Jim and Carol went north along a canal about 2 miles and then south on the other side of the canal about 2 miles. Dave and I went south from the camp. I set my traps out

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL 3 mi. S La Joya, 4700', Socorro Co., New Mexico May 11 Checked the traps several times during the afternoon and reset any that had caught animals. Took tissues from dead animals and saved the live ones for karyotyping. Discovered that the freezer didn't work, so left the blood on ice to be spun later; put tissues in liquid nitrogen. After dark skinned and stuffed animals, finished at about midnight. May 12 I checked my traps and processed the new animals. Then went back and pulled all my traps, including those just set this morning. Walked south with my traps planning to set south of Dave's area towards the constriction. Kept going south until I finally ran into Dave right at the constriction. He had already set most of the available mounds between the gate and the constriction. I walked on a bit farther to see what happens. The Rio Grande is quite high right now. It flows right up against the east bank at the bend in the river, cutting out most of the flat areas where gophers would ordinarily be most numerous. At the constriction the river comes within a few meters of rocky hillsides with no apparent sign of gophers. I followed the gravel

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL 3 mi. S La Joya, 4700', Socorro Co., New Mexico May 12 food which is right next to the river at this point. A short ways further (~200 meters?) there was one pocket of flat land with some old gopher mounds. North-south movement along the river is probably very restricted here; certainly it is so during periods of high water. Looking across the river it looks like there is more habitat available at the bend on the west side of the river. We will try to sample that area later. On the way back to camp Dave and I set a few more traps and Dave caught a couple animals as well. Got back to camp thirsty and tired and eventually located the cache of supplies Jim and Carol had left for us. They returned shortly with the car. New fuses had not solved the problem with the inverter so they had run the centrifuge off an extension cord at a house in La Joya. We processed, skinned, and stuffed animals. Finished about 9 pm. May 13 After coffee in the morning Dave went down to bring in his traps and Jim went to get some pictures of the topography of the construction.

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL 3.5 mi. S La Joya, west side of Rio Grande, 4700 ft., Docono Co., New Mexico May 13 Drove to the La Joya Game Refuge Headquarters and spun the flood. Got a key to drive into the road along the canal on the west side of the Rio Grande. The gate had about seven different locks on the chain because many different government agencies need to have access to the area. Drove south as far as the railroad bridge where the Rio Salado enters the Rio Grande. Walked down to the river and examined the adjacent habitat, but found no sign of any gophers here. This appears to be an inhospitable area which would form a barrier to gopher movement. Drove back north along the canal road until we found fields with gopher sign. The animals were present in pockets in the area I worked, and were abundant along the canal bank, within a meter of the water in many places. By evening we had a large sample so we pulled the traps and finished processing, skinning, and stuffing. See map next page for location of my traps.

20 NOV I don't think that I can do anything at this point, so I will just wait and see what happens. There is no way to know if the problem will be solved or not. All we can do is wait and hope for the best. It's been a long day, and I'm tired. I'll try to get some rest now. I hope everything gets better soon.

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL c.a. 4 mi. S La Joya, 4700 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico May 14 Drove back to the refuge headquarters to spin the blood samples and consulted with the staff person there. He said it would be possible to drive along the west east side of the Rio Grande if we went down to Escondida and took the gravel road through the game refuge. He gave us the combination for the lock at the entrance to this area. We were able to drive up as far as our previous locality where Dave had set traps right at the constriction, set along the gravel road just south of the previous trapping area. The mosquitos were very bad. After checking the traps a few times we drove along the river and across a big stretch of salt flats. Passed the San Acacia dam and drove on down the road but saw no good places to trap. Drove back to the cottonwood trees near the dam and Dave found one mound to set while we processed the animals we had caught earlier that day. Dave then took a bag of traps and walked across the dam to set in the field at San Acacia where John, Dave, and I had trapped in Aug.- left. of 1979. The rest of us drove back to bring in the traps from the 4 mi. S of La Joya site,

Looked around in the vicinity of that mound and found one more spot towards the river about 10 meters, plus another set in the road. Proceeded on to the site 4 mi. S of La Joya and pulled the traps. Dave's traps had two more animals (total 3 animals out of 4 sets at this site). I caught 1 animal out of 4 traps. Jim and Carol had more sets out and caught several animals. Drove back to San Acacia dam to set up camp. Processed and skinned and stuffed animals. Dave got back from the ranch across the river after dark, but we processed and skinned and stuffed the 10 animals he had caught already in the field at San Acacia. May 15 Dave was up early and brought in the animal from the east side of the river south of San Acacia dam. Jim caught an animal just north of the dam on the east side. Dave returned with 7 more animals from the field at San Acacia. Finished those animals and broke camp. Got 2 out of 3 sets at the site right next to the road. Very dark clouds were building up so we were glad to be heading back towards the main highway.

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL Escondida, 4600 ft., Socorro Co., New Mexico May 15 We stopped at an alfalfa field in Escondida on the east side of the river and got permission to trap there. Caught 8 animals but it started to rain and activity was way down so we pulled the traps. Took tissues from the 7 dead animals before heading north for Albuquerque. Dropped Dave at his house. Mark and Darcy Hafner had already arrived there. They are on their way to Berkeley. We checked into a motel and spun the blood samples and skinnet and stuffed the remaining animals. Got cleaned up and went over to Dave's for dinner and a chat with the Hafner clan. Albuquerque, New Mexico May 16 Jim karyotyped the live animals in the motel room while Carol and I did errands and the laundry. We got an inverter at Radio Shack for ~$80 to replace the defective one. This price is probably better than Sear's Ward's. Cebolita Creek, 16.3 mi. S. Grants, Valencia Co., New Mexico, 6800 ft. May 17 Drove west from Albuquerque on route 66. Got off at the Quemado exit and south on I/7, which is a two lane, paved highway.

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL Cebolita Creek, 16.3 mi. S Grants, Valencia Co., New Mexico, 6800 ft. May 17 Set up camp in a pretty spot in open fields between the lava flow and rocky cliffs, in scattered junipers. A rancher told us that the cattle had just been moved out of the field that day. We need a sample of T.b. collis from this area. This subspecies is probably related to T.b. conectens from the Albuquerque area, whereas the subspecies on the west side of the lava flow, T.b. morulus, is probably very closely related or the same as T.b. falvus. Evidence of gopher activity in this area is mostly small plugs. I had difficulty locating fresh digging in my area. I got 4 animals out of the 12 sets I put out. Jim and Carol got 23 animals. Then we pulled the Macabees, but they did put out some live traps to get animals for DNA analysis (C value). We finished processing, skinning, stuffing, and spinning the blood at about 9:30 pm. It was quite cold and windy. May 18 New pocket gophers from the vicinity of Mount Taylor, New Mexico by E.T. Hooper 1940 Occ. Papers of the Museum of Zool. Univ.

M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL Albuquerque, New Mexico May 18 Pulled in the live traps by midmorning. Drove down another mile or so to see the rock arch that a local rancher had told us about. If the animals on the two sides of the lava flow differ karyotypically and genetically as we expect, then there would be potential contact between the two forms around the southern end of the lava flow, or across the narrower parts near Grants. We drove back to Albuquerque and Jim and Carol dropped me at the airport for my flight at 2:45 PM.

M.F. Smith 1981 JOURNAL 0.5 mi. N Madison, Yolo Co., California Dec. 12 I met Jim and Carol Patton at MVZ about 8:45 am. We will head north first, then plan to trap along the foothills for Thomomys bottae. Drove north on 80, north on 505, then west on highway 16 to Madison. Let out traps along the edge of a field with turnips or sugar beets. The clay soil was very sticky - it quickly covered our boots and pants. I caught 2 gophers out of 11 sets. We caught a total of 11 animals. One was kept alive to get spleen cells after we got to the motel. We finished processing about 7:30 pm and had dinner. 3 mi. E. and 1 mi. S Lincoln, Placer Co., California, 500 ft. Dec. 13 After breakfast we drove towards Auburn. Checked along the roads for signs of gophers. Nothing around Newcastle or Penryn, but finally saw some mounds in the field of a ranch on Sierra College Blvd. east of Lincoln. Let out all the traps and checked them a couple times before going into Lincoln for lunch. Again a drizzly day, very slow gopher activity even though there are lots of mounds. Activity picked up late in the afternoon. We caught a total of 22 gophers, keeping three

M.F. Smith 1981 JOURNAL 3 mi. E, and 1 mi. S. Lincoln, Placer Co, California, 500 ft. Dec. 13 alive for spleen cells. Left the area around 5:00 pm. Drove through Auburn to Placerville and found a motel. Processed the blood and put up nineteen animals, then had dinner. After dinner did the three live animals. Got to bed about 11:15 pm. 1.5 mi. N Plymouth, Amador Co, California, 950 ft. Dec. 14 After breakfast we drove south on Highway 49 from Placerville, stopped at a ranch right along the road and got permission to trap. Looked like a lot of activity but not much after we got the traps out. By 2:30pm we had 12 animals. Got 16 altogether, one alive for spleen cells. Drove to Jackson to get a motel. Finished processing blood and stuffing animals by about 7:00pm. Went out for dinner, then did the one live animal. 2.5 mi NW Angels Camp, Calaveras Co, California, 1200 ft. Dec. 15 Left Jackson about 8:30am. Drove south on Highway 49 towards Altaville and Angel's Camp. Stopped at one house but the woman there said we would have to ask her husband for permission. Couldn't find him so drove down a side road, Cosgrave Rd., to the end and got permission to trap in the fields there. Again a slow day, although I got 6 animals here. We got fourteen altogether, with 3 alive.

M.F. Smith 1981 JOURNAL 2.5 mi. NW Angels Camp, Calaveras Co., California, 1200 ft. Dec. 15 We were finishing as it got dark, got a motel in Angels Camp. Processed the blood, the live animals, and finished skinning. Then went into town for dinner. 2.7 mi. N. Farmington, San Joaquin Co., California, 400 ft. Dec. 16 It was clear in Angels Camp in the morning but foggy as we drove down into the valley on highway 4. Found some good fields north of Farmington. Had the traps out before 11:00 am. Again slow at first. Finished up in the dark, but did get 17 gophers here. We did not save any of the live animals for spleen cells from this locality. Drove to Pleasanton and processed the blood and skinned the animals at my house. Jim and Carol stayed overnight with us and then they got out on Thursday morning to do some more trapping. All of the gophers from this trip have Jim's field numbers.

M.F.Smith 1982 JOURNAL Susanville, Lassen Co. California Mar. 21 Maria Gloria Basañez and I took the Trailways bus from Oakland to Sparks, Nevada. Met Jim and Carol Patton at the Nugget in Sparks and drove from there to Susanville. We plan to collect in the zone of contact between Thomomys bottae paratilis and Thomomys townsendii relictois in the area around Gold Run Creek. Mar. 22 Gold Run Creek, 3 mi. S. Susanville, Lassen Co., California, 4240ft. Drove out from Susanville to get permission to trap in the contact area. Stopped at a house on Richmond Rd. and found out the owner of the property lived farther so drove to their place - Happy Valley Ranch, owned by the Nagel family. Got permission to trap and a key to the gate on the dirt road leading into the property. The dirt road shows on the topo map (GHI Diamond Mtn. Quadrangle 7.5 minute series) just south of Gold Run Road, leading off of Richmond Rd. past Nagel Reservoir. Parked the van at a large shelter for hay bales and split up to set traps. Carol and I set between the van and the road, Jim and Maria Gloria set farther up the creek. Jim Nagel came by in the afternoon and I rode with him to see another possible field to set in next to Nagel Reservoir. He also got permission for us to trap the neighbor's field on the other side.

M.F.Smith 1982 JOURNAL Gold Run Creek, 3 mi, S Susanville, Lassen Co, California 4240ft. Mar.22 of Richmond Rd. We caught 20 gophers today, (7 females , 3 of them with embryos which we saved ; 13 males). Got back to the motel and processed animals, with a break for dinner, Finished about 11:30pm. We saved plasma only from the blood since we don't need the Est-1 locus from hemolyzate- some of the alleles for that locus are too slow to score accurately because of interference from another locus. Mar.23 Checked holes that were left open yesterday and reset any that had been plugged. Only one set of plugged holes in the lower field I set yesterday. Then I went up to set the fields next to Nagel's Reservoir. Set out ten sets, No animals so went back to have lunch about 1:00pm. Finally caught three animals from that field. Left holes open overnight. The other had caught 22 animals, so we got a total of 25 for today. Jim and Carol caught several in the field on the other side of Richmond Rd. We finished skinning about 12:30am. Mar.24 Gold Run Creek, 3 mi, S, 0.5 mi W Susanville, Lassen Co, Calif., 4320ft. This is the locality for the three animals I cought in the field next to Nagel's Reservoir. This morning we dropped Carol and Maria Gloria off at the fields across the road from Nagel's

M.F Smith 1982 JOURNAL Gold Run Creek, 3 mi. S, 0.5 mi. W Susanville, Lassen Co., California, 43204 Mar. 24 property. Then Jim drove up to drop me off at Nagel's Reservoir and he went back down to work the remaining lines in between. Of the fifteen holes I left open overnight eight were plugged, I reset those as well as two fresh mounds in the field. Then I set the mounds at the base of the bank holding in the reservoir. I caught two dead animals early in the afternoon, and two live animals at about 3:00 pm. I walked back down to the car to process those four animals. At about 5:30 pm Jim and I drove back up to Nagel's Reservoir. I had three more animals. The remaining holes Jim set with live traps so they could be left open overnight. Much of the activity in this field seems to be at night or in the early morning. On the way back down we checked Jim's traps. We caught a total of 31 gophers today (three still alive to take back). Mar. 25 Caught one animal in a live trap in the field next to Nagel's Reservoir. Reset those that had been plugged overnight. Carol and Maria Gloria were looking for mounds in the fields west and south of Nagel's Reservoir. I followed the road around and found a wire fence that would prevent us from driving across

Mar. 25 To the other side of Gold Run Creek from this direction, Jim arrived at the fence with the van and we decided to pick up the others and drive the long way around to the other side. We got permission at the Sella ranch but found very little gopher sign—mostly ground squirrels. Jim and I each set out three sets. Dropped Carol off at the motel and went back to Nagel's Reservoir. Set several fresh mounds and caught six more animals in the area before pulling traps at ~4:00 p.m. Then drove over to the other side to pull the remaining traps. Jim caught one gopher at Sellas. I had walked across the creek on the dirt road about Nagel's and set three traps just on the other side of Gold Run Creek. I caught one gopher there. Went back to the motel and processed the seven animals (plus one kept alive). Since there was very little activity in the fields on the north side of the creek we decided we had collected everything we could in the contact zone. Jim decided to use one general locality for all the samples, with individual captures plotted on the topo sheet. My locality for the field next to Nagel's Reservoir will have to be changed.

It was snowing at the higher parts of this route. We had hoped to trap near Red Bluff but the van had an engine problem so we came directly back to the Bay Area.

M.F.Smith 1993 JOURNAL Montevideo, Uruguay Tues. Nov. 16 Left San Francisco at 1:40pm on Saturday, Nov. 13, and arrived in Montevideo around 3:00pm on Sunday, Nov. 14. The time in Montevideo is five hours later than in California. It was met at the airport by Enrique Leasa and Joe Cogle. Joe is here for four months on a Fulbright to work with Enrique. On Monday he talked with some of Enrique's students and several biologists at the Facultad de Ciencias, where Enrique has a position. On Tuesday he gave a talk in the morning about species boundaries - paraphyly/polyphyly in Ithomops. Later we continued our work gathering up supplies for a field trip, stringing the Museum special traps brought for Enrique, and trying to figure out logistics.

However, there was a big storm on Tuesday night, with many trees blown down in Montevideo, and heavy rains, continuing on Wednesday. Enrique thought it would be better to wait until Thursday morning to leave for the field. On Wednesday afternoon Guillermo

Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 18 and I were driven by Jito in the Nissan that belongs to the department to buy dry ice at an ice cream factory (about $30.00 US for a small piece = 30 kilos). We also filled one of the 10 liter liquid nitrogen tanks at the Casa de Inseminario, which cost about $25 US. I stayed at Enrique's house on Wednesday night since I had already checked out of the hotel in preparation for the field trip. Joe Cooke rented a car and moved his family and visiting relatives to the beach house at Alpina, leaving room for me at Enrique's house. On Thursday morning Jito picked us up at Enrique's house in the departmental vehicle. Two of the students rode along in the vehicle, and three took the bus that same morning to Maldonado. We drove to El Peñasco, the house belonging to the grandfather of Maria Luz, and dropped off our gear to make room in the vehicle. The house was enormous, with large grounds, fruit orchards, trout raising ponds, and a view of the Arroyo Maldonado. We picked up the students at the bus station in Maldonado and drove east

Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 18 along the coast towards San Ignacio looking for mounds of tucos tucos (Ctenomys gearsoni) in the sandy dunes along the coast. We set a few Macabee traps east of the mouth of the Laguna San Ignacio, then drove north and located a farm with Tucos about 5 km N of the lighthouse of San Ignacio. Here we found quite a few tucos mounds in one pasture, and Enrique and some students also set traps in the owners lawn. In the field we found the skin of an armadillo; and also an amphibian in a Ctenomys burrow. After we finished at the farm we also set some traps about 7 km further north. We caught 11 Ctenomys during this day, in spite of the rain and wind. We drove back to the house in the late afternoon. We split into two groups to set traps for sigmodontines. We had 100 Museum special snap traps, and 30 wire cage live traps on loan from a local group, one of whom was along on the field trip. One group set traps in a

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.

M.F.Smith 1993 JOURNAL El Peñasco, ~5 km N of Maldonado, Depto. Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 19 Enrique, Joe, and I were the first ones up. Had tea and a roll, then went to check the traps. Enrique checked the lines he had set with the student near the house, and Joe, Guillermo, and I checked those near the railroad tracks. Near the tracks we Got three more animals. These have a long pointed snout and may be Orynycteres. One appeared to be larger, two smaller, one of which may be a juvenile. All 4 animals cought during the night were in snap traps rather than in the wire cage live traps. Many of the snap traps were set off, either by the rain or other activity. All of the snap traps were new ones that had never been used before. We also had 8 Victor rat traps, which didn't catch anything. We split the group, with most people caryotyping ctenopys that had been injected with yeast the previous day, and also taking tissue and shining the crickets. Enrique, Federico and I drove out with Jito to trap more ctenopys. We drove along a more inland road to see if there were animals there, but didn't see any very far inland.

M.F. Smith 1993 JOURNAL El Penasco, ~5 km N of Maldonado, Depto, Maldonado, Uruguay Nov. 17 We set traps for tucos in the vicinity of 1 km W of the mouth of the Laguna de Rocho, in Depto, Rocha. The first field we set in was very much like trapping thomomys in the US, although with very sandy soils. The mounds are similar, as is the construction of the burrows and the method of setting the traps. Additional pitas were closer to the ocean next to sand dunes. The weather was much better on this day. We saw lots of birds near the Laguna de Rocho, including jacanas, cacachin gulls + black necked swans. Lots of migratory birds came to the lagoons and marshes in this area. We also saw 3 Rheas americana in a field during the day. Driving back to the house we saw nutria near the edge of a pond, and cavia running across the road. The cavia are very dark in color, somewhat larger than stenops. There were many of them running across the road and along the edge of the road in the grass. When we got back to the house we packed up as quickly as possible because we

Ft passed 20,000 ft and found no one to help us. We were all in great shape and ready to go. I do not know what happened but we were all very tired. I guess it was just that we had been working so hard for the past few days that we needed a rest. The crew members were all very tired and some of them were even sick. We had no choice but to continue our journey. We were all very worried about what might happen next. It seemed like everything was going wrong at once. The engines were not working properly and the fuel tanks were empty. We had no idea where we were or how long it would take us to get back home. The only thing we could do was to keep moving forward and hope that things would work out for the best. We were all very tired and some of us were even crying. But we knew that we had to stay strong and keep going. We finally made it back to our base after what seemed like an eternity. We were all exhausted but relieved to be safe again.

MFSmith 1993 JOURNAL Nov, 19 El Peñasco, ~5 km N of Maldonado, Depts. Maldonado, Uruguay, were supposed to get back to the Facultad by 10 pm. Some people are staying another night at the house, and they set the 50 snag traps and 8 Victor Traps that I brought to Enrique, so they may catch some more mice after we leave. The members of the field party includes Joe Cook from the University of Alaska, Enrique Iossa, Guillermo D'Elea [illegible] (a master student of Enrique's), Mariana Gosse, Federico Hoffman, and Ana Zey Porzekansky, who are undergraduate students at the Facultad, and Gustavo , who belongs to a local group that is interested in collecting mammals. Noel Cottine, Enrique's other master student at the moment, was unable to go on the trip. On the way back we got to the outskirts of Montevideo at 10pm. They called The Facultad to be sure someone would be there to open the gate, which is locked at 10pm. No one was there, so we had to revise the plan. We left the live mice at Federico's house and Zito dropped us off at Enrique's house with all my gear. Enrique agreed to borrow his

MFSmith 1993 JOURNAL El Peñasco, -5km N of Maldonado, Depto Maldonado, Uruguay Nov.19 father's car in the morning so we could go to the Facultad to deal with the frozen tissues. We went to a cafe to get a sandwich around midnight, and got about 4 hours sleep. Montevideo Uruguay Nov.20 We got up about 5am. Enrique took a Tapi to get his father's car and Dr Fuentes picking. We drove to the Facultad and emptied the nitrogen tank so we could sort the tissues. Enrique is loaning us part of the tissues (one kidney, a piece of liver, and a piece of heart), from the four animals we tagged near Maldonado. This is the general vicinity of the type locality for several species since Darwin collected here during the voyage of the Beagle. He is also sending one of the skins to MVZ. Enrique drove me to the airport for the flight to Buenos Aires. The downtown airport, Jorge Newbery, was much better than Ezeiza - less crowded, and the luggage came very quickly. Arrived in Bariloche, Argentina on schedule on Saturday afternoon and was met by Payne and Anita Pearson.

MFSmith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Rio Negro Province, Argentina Sun Nov.21 When I arrived I got settled in an apartment in the building next to the Pearsons, and had dinner at their apartment. This morning we drove towards Cerro Otto, and hiked to the top along a path through Nothofagus beech forest. In a field along the road on the way we had stopped to examine mounds of Ctenomys mandibulines. In the forest we saw evidence of digging and snow cores of Chlamyphorus, especially in patches of wild lilies. From the top of Cerro Otto there is a good panoramic view of the region. Peggy and Anita pointed out several "micro localities" around Bariloche where they have caught either "Akodon" perthorhinus or "Akodon" olivaceus. A. olivaceus is a forest animal extending to the west into Chile, while A. xanthorhinos is a steppe animal extending to the east of Bariloche. We are interested in collecting samples of tissues to be able to do protein electrophoresis as well as DNA sequencing in the region where the two apparently distinct morphological forms come in contact. Some animals appear to be

M.F. Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloché, Rio Negro Prov., Argentina somewhat intermediate morphologically. The cytochrome b sequence I have so far is almost identical between A. shiraei and A. panthorhineus collected near the intergrade region. We need information on the nuclear genome to help determine whether the two types differ in nuclear genes, perhaps with introgression of the mitochondrial genome from one type into the other. We also need a reference sample of A. panthorhineus from farther away to check the mitochondrial DNA sequence. In the late afternoon we drove out to a site 4.2 km E of Bariloché, which we will call Las Victorias. The area has been marked off into lots that are for sale. We set three trap lines in steppe habitat, trying especially to set in bunch grass, which should be habitat for 'shador' panthorhineus. Payne and Anita felt that the habitat turned out to be a bit moist for A. panthorhineus, but we'll see. We set about 100 Sherman traps baited with rolled oats and corn meal. We didn't set any of the snap traps because we won't have any liquid nitrogen until tomorrow, when we have an appointment to go to the Centro Atomico with Adrian Morreau to get liquid nitrogen.

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.

M.F. Smith 1973 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Mon Nov. 22 Anita also set in bushes with grass nearby. We thought we might get "akdom" olivaceus there. Payne set more out in the open near open trees holes, hoping to catch "akdom" xanthorhinos. We finished setting traps at about 9:00pm, just as it was getting dark. Nov. 23 We drove out in the morning to check the traps at Campa Quomada. We had 97 traps out and caught 11 animals: 1 Eligmodontia morgani 7 Abrothrix longipilis 1 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 2 Auliscomys micropus The Eligmodontia was the only animal out in the open where Payne had hoped to get A. xanthorhinos. We drove back to town and unloaded the animals. Payne went out at 11am to set 22 sherman traps in the meadow at Cerro Runge, across the road from the gravel road that goes up Cerro Otto. At 5pm we checked those traps in the meadow. There were 2 Abrothrix longipilis which we released away from the meadow.

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Barilochs Prov, Rio Negro, Argentina Nov.23 We drove out along the road to Colonia Suiza to a spot near Lago Perito Moreno where the Pearsons had caught 6 or 7 A. olivaceus a few weeks ago. I set my line of 35 Sherman traps (5 of them small traps) in bushes on the edge of grassy areas near a creek leading into the lake. When I walked back along the line I had already caught 2 animals, both A. olivaceus. I caught a third A. olivaceus soon after that. It seems that this species is active in the daytime, or at least late afternoon. Payne caught 1 Abrothrix olivaceus too and 1 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus before we left that evening. We also had 4 steel traps set for tucos tucos near the burned area. We had a picnic dinner in a beautiful spot by the lake before the final trap check for the evening. Wed Nov.24 Drove out at 7:30 am to check the traps near Lago Perito Moreno on the road to Colonia Suiza. Out of 38+9 119 traps we caught 21 animals, plus the ones from yesterday afternoon. Abrothrix olivaceus 1 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 11 Abrothrix longipilis 8 Auliscomys micropus 1

M F Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Nov.24 We didn't catch any animals in the two traps near the burned area. In the meadow at the base of Cerro Renge in Payne's 22 Sherman traps there were 6 Abrothrix longipilis 1 Abrothrix olivaceus 1 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, We processed the live animals when we got back to the apartment, after lunch & took tissues and made complete skeletons of some of the animals from the snap traps. At 4:30pm Payne and I went out to set traps in a clearing above the road up to Cerro Otto. We alternated Shermans and snap traps, about 24 of each. This habitat is mixed with some steppe plants and some plants of the moister forest. We will call this east knoll of Cerro Otto. Nov.25 Drove out at 7:30am to check the 48 traps on the east knoll of Cerro Otto. We got 2 animals: 1 Eligmodontia morgeni 1 Abrothrix xanthorhinus Both were in snap traps on the north facing slope. The Xanthorhinus looks like a typical representative of that type. Across the road only about 400 meters away we can see the meadow where we got a typical A. olivaceus.

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Nov.25 We packed up the camping gear and left town about 11:00 am to drive east of Bariloche on graded gravel road to Comallo, then 10 km south to where the Pearsons had seen mina mounds before. We set up the tent along a dirt road a little ways off the highway (=gravel road). We set off in three different directions to set traps -set all the Sherman and snap traps. Peg 26 large Shermans, 37 snap traps. Anita 30 Large Shermans and 30 snaps, Payne set 56 near the mine mounds. 10 km S Comallo, 2900 ft., Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Fri Nov.26 We checked traps once before dark last night, and Anita had caught 1 Abrothrix xanthorhina, 1 Eligmodontia morgeni, and 1 Phyllotis so these animals were all active in daylight. We checked traps first thing in the morning, and found that the majority of the

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.

M.F. Smith 1993 JOURNAL Campo General Roca, Prov. Rio Negro Argentina Sat Nov. 27 We got up before 6 am and checked the traps fairly early. No one caught anything here, although the vegetation had looked good. We parked up and headed back to Baibocha, getting back around noon. In the afternoon we processed the live animals that we still had left from Gmalls. We considered various options for the next locality and decided that we would drive to Tronador on Sunday to try for A. shivareus at the western end of a transect in Argentina. We chose this as the first option because trapping at Puerto Blest is more complicated logistically, involving taking the traps, liquid nitrogen tank, etc., on the tour boat to Puerto Blest. Rio Castaño Areno Sun Nov. 28 We left Baibocha at about 10 am for the drive to Tronador. Some rain on the way, but the weather was changing rapidly so we decided to go ahead and see what it was like. On the drive in, near Hotel Tronador, the Persons spotted Sigfrido Rubulus, who is a climatologist and glaciologist sponsored by CONICET. Payne asked him if he knew where Julio Contreras had trapped, which would be the type locality for "Rhodon" mensorensis. He said it was at the stream gauging station right

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.

MFSmith 1993 JOURNAL Rio Castaño Overo, Mon Nov 29 We processed the animals in the car, occasionally running the heater to warm up the car a bit. Then packed up and started to drive out the road. At the first big mudhole we cut branches to fill in where the wheels would go, and Paynie drove through that hole fairly easily. Further on, however, we failed to check a puddle before driving through, and the car sank in deeply, with the car tilted to the left and the water up to the top of the left front wheel. Paynie set off in the snow towards Pampa Linda, where there was a park guard station and the restaurant where we had eaten lunch. Anita wanted to stay with the car, so A stayed with her. We had a snack and waited there for an hour or more, then decided to pack up some gear in case we ended up staying overnight at the hostería and walked towards Pampa Linda. Just as we got there we met Paynie with a park guard and a man with a horse. The first attempt with just a rope around the horse's neck was not effective. A second attempt with more park workers and a saddle and cinch arrangement on the horse was just getting organized when the red jeep belonging to someone connected to the family at the restaurant arrived. The jeep

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Rio Castaño Overs Nov.24 was able to pull the van out on the first try. It was too late to drive up to see the glacier today because the traffic is one way going down after 4pm, and we needed to get to our next site to get the traps out. We drove down a gravel road past a quarry to a cow pasture along the upper Rio Manso just above where the river flows into Lago Mascardi. Payne thinks this is only a kilometer or so from Juli's Contreras' type locality for A. mansoensis. Much of the area seemed to be overgrazed, but we set in bushes near as much tall grass as possible. We set 165 traps. Payne grilled steaks for dinner. During the night we had snow again, even though we were farther east and lower in elevation. This kind of storm is unusual this late in the spring (equivalent to the end of May in the US). Lago Mascardi (west end), Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Nov.30 In spite of the snow we caught several animals here: 9 - Abrothrix olivaceus (same thing as mansoensis?) 1 - Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 1 - Abrothrix longipilis

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Lago Mascardi (west end), Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Tues Nov. 30 We spent the morning processing the animals, saving three alive in thermos to preserve in formaldehyde when we get back to Bariloche. After lunch we drove up to Tronador to see the Ventisqueros Negros - black glacier, which is covered with dirt and rocks that have fallen from the surrounding rockfaces onto the glacier. At Cero Tronador we hiked up the path as far as it was open to get a closer view. The rain and clouds obscured some of the mountain, but it was still impressive. We could hear the "thunder" from which the mountain gets its name as blocks of ice broke loose and fell in avalanches. Payne was the only one watching later when the largest chunk fell. After 4pm we could start driving in the downhill direction back to Bariloche. It was raining all the way to Bariloche, which again is unusual. This is an unusually wet year following several dry years. Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Wed Dec. 1 We did errands in the morning, then in the afternoon we drove out to the area next to the Hipodromo (race track) to look for suitable habitat. Although several houses are being built

MF.Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Dec. 1 in that area, we did find some open space to set traps. We set out about 96 traps, mostly the large Shermans because it was raining and the snap traps might get set off by the rain. Thurs Dec. 2 We went out at 7:15 am to check the traps next to the racetrack (Hipodromo). We caught 10 animals, as follows: 1 Eligmodontia morgani 5 Abrothrix olivaceus 4 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus We left the traps set, and came back to process the animals. In the afternoon we went back to Hipodromo and added snap trap lines to the Shermans already set. Fri Dec. 3 We went out at 7:15 am to check the traps at the Hipodromo and bring them in. We had 163 traps out and caught 12 animals. There was rain during the night and in the morning. 6 Abrothrix (xanthorhinus) olivaceus 1 Eligmodontia morgani 5 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus We came back and processed the animals. In the afternoon we drove east of town looking for possible trapping sites for A. xanthorhinus. We ended up in the southwest corner of the

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov, Rio Negro, Argentina Dec. 3 real estate development, Las Victorias. We had trapped earlier in a different section of Las Victorias. The area we set in today seemed to be undisturbed, rich steppe habitat. We set out a total of 159 Sherman plus snap traps. It was cold, windy, and raining when we finished setting. Sat Dec. 4 We went out at 7:30 am to check the traps at Las Victorias. We caught 39 animals, which was 25% trap success. This was our most successful night of trapping so far. 8 Abrothrix xanthorhina 7 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 4 Eligmodontia morgani 15 Abrothrix longipilis 5 Auliscomys micropus We came back and processed the animals, leaving the traps set at Las Victorias. In the late afternoon, we went out and added more traps in the bunch grass area. Payne thought some of his traps may have been taken. Sun Dec. 5 Went out to Las Victorias at 7:30 am to bring in the traps. Payne was missing several traps, and one Sherman had been taken from one of my lines. There were horse tracks nearby. From the afternoon of Dec. 4 we had

We went back to town to process the animals after releasing the species we weren't after. In the late afternoon we drove east to camp on Estancia El Condor and try for a more eastern sample of Abrothrix xanthorhina. There was a nice green grassy patch to set up camp. We set traps in a bunchgrass meadow, across a hillside with bunchgrass and shrubs, and on a slope above a small creek; 160 traps total set out. Mon Dec.6 We got up at 6:00 am to check the traps. We caught a total of 48 animals. 23 Abrothrix longipilis 7 Abrothrix xanthorhinus 13 Auliscomys micropus 3 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 2 Reithrodon auritus

MF Smith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Mon Dec. 6 We released all except the Abrothrix xanthorhina and drove back to town. I processed the two dead Abrothrix xanthorhina while Payne talked with Michael Christie about their poster. At 11:00 am Payne and I drove north past the site where Eileen Lacy is studying Ctenomys sociabilis and on to the Incaful Valley. Payne took a habitat shot of one of the caves where they found amber, similar to the woodrat amber in the western US. We also climbed around at the entrance to a cave where Michael Christie had found amber, trying to find a sample to show with their poster. We didn't find any very good examples. I got a picture of the cave where Payne has analyzed the bones from owl pellets over the last several thousand years. The weather was very good today, the clearest day we have had, after a week of rain that was very welcome. When we got back to Bariloche we processed the rest of the animals from El Condor. Milton Hallards was expected at the Pearsons, but didn't show up today.

MESmith 1993 JOURNAL Bariloche, Prov. Rio Negro, Argentina Dec. 11 I attended the Argentine Mammal Society meetings in Bariloche Dec. 8-10. I presented a poster on abortion relationships, based on our paper in press in the Biol. J. Linn. Soc. I had a chance to talk with several Argentine mammalogists, which worked out well. On Dec. 11 I left Bariloche for the flight home. I poured off all the liquid nitrogen from the tank at the airport in Bariloche. When I reached San Francisco Gary met me and we went directly to Barker Hall to deal with the frozen tissues. They were still frozen solidly after 27 hours in transit.

M F Smith 1991 JOURNAL Nov.21 Las Flores, Depto Maldonado Uruguay We left Maldonado on Monday morning in the department vehicle from the Facultad de Ciencias. The party consists of Noel Cortinas and Federico Hoffman, both masters students with Enrique Lessa; Leo Joseph, a post-doc in Enrique's lab, from Australia, Enrique, me, and Dito, the driver of the vehicle, who also cooks. We drove east from Maldonado along the coast to the small Town of Las Flores. We are using the country house of Enrique's parents as our base. After lunch we drove northeast to a site along the Arroyo El Renegado, 3 km E of Pan de Agua, Depto. Maldonado. Along the stream there was good riparian habitat, monte ribereño. We hiked with the traps across several cow pastures to get to the area farther downstream where we were going to set traps. Starting at an old ruined mill we set lines moving downstream. Federico and I set two lines of Sherman's with 20 traps each. One line was along the top of the hill along the edge of a grassy area in small rock outcroppings. The second line was along the hillside with traps in clumps of bushes. We also set 16 small snap traps and 2 large ones in the

MF Smith 1994 JOURNAL Las Flores, Depto. Maldonado, Uruguay Nov.21 rocks and bushes right near the mill. Back at the bridge Enrique and Noel set a comparable number of traps right along the river. Back at the bridge where the vehicle was parked we set the remaining 40 shemans and 16 snap traps right next to the stream in very moist areas. We also set 6 large wire cage traps at the edge of the stream. I ito built a fire and cooked a "proper" asado (done out in the country over wood) for dinner. Around 11 pm we went out to check the traplines. Enrique and Noel caught one Gymycterus in a snap trap along the stream, and a larger Leptonyx in a Sherman. We drove back to the house at about 12:30 am, took tissues from the Gymycterus, and went to bed. Nov.22 Went out in the morning to bring in the traps from Aroyo El Renegado. We caught three Lepteronys and one Cavia in the traps along the creek next to the bridge. Nothing in the trap lines near the old mill. Went back to process the animals. One of the Lepteronys escaped from a wire cage trap, so in addition

Noel has typed the 3 Scepteromys. We are splitting the tissues so we each have a set. I am putting one of the Scepteromys in my catalogue, with a number also in the (A series since Enrique will keep the holotype for Federico's project. Enrique went along with Leo and Tito in the afternoon to trap Ctenomy since Jim had said he would be interested in having some fluid preserved specimens for MVT. He caught 2 Ctenomys in the late afternoon. At the house Federico had to leave to take the bus back to Maldonado for a meeting. He helped me set a few traps near the house before he left, and I finished setting 40 Sherman's near the house. Later I carried another box of 40 across the fields to set near the Aroyo Saravires . There were 4 lines with 10 traps each, starting with one line on the hillside, one line in low shrubs at the base of the hill, one in thick vegetation near the stream and one in gress and shrubs along a small path. Noel set 26 snap traps across the road along the house in shrubs. Noel and I set 19 snap traps in shrubs

We had dinner around 11:30pm and got to bed at 12:30 or 1:00 am. Nov. 23 We caught 4 Oxymycterus in grass and shrubs near the house, one in a snap along the driveway and 1 in a snag on the hillside above the house. Down by the arroyo we caught 1 Oxymycterus as well. Enrique and Noel barotyped 4 Oxymycterus. We are still trying to figure out if there are two forms of Oxymycterus here. Some seem to have more orange on the ventral side. In the afternoon Enrique, Noel, and Federico went to set more traps near the bridge. We left the 40 Sherman's there from the previous night, and they added the other 80 Sherman's there, plus some lines of snap traps. I stayed at the house to continue shining since we had several animals to do still. Enrique left in the evening because he had to take the bus back to Montevideo. At the house we finished shining and got to bed a bit earlier since we needed to pull the traps early in the morning and get the vehicle back to Montevideo since another group was going in

We had several animals in snap traps and many in shovans as well; 1 Cavia Oxymycterus Scapteromys Akodon We drove back to the University, and processed animals the rest of the day and the next day. Fundo San Martin, Comuna San Jose', Provincia Valdivia, Chile Dec.8 I arrived in Valdivia, Chile on Tuesday December 6. A flew from Montevideo to Santiago on Monday Dec.5. On Tuesday morning Dr. Laura Walker met me at my hotel and we went together by taxi to the medical school, where Laura Walker and Angel Apotorno have their offices and lab space. We talked about our respective work, and I had a chance to see their setup. In the evening I flew to Valdivia and Milton Hallardo met me at the airport. We went immediately to the campus where Milton

Then we stopped for tea at Milton's parents home and on to Milton's house. On Wednesday we gathered equipment and made arrangements for the field trip on Thursday. Milton can't go because it is the end of the semester and he has to deal with exams. On Thursday morning we met at the University. A university driver and teacher will take us to the reserve at San Martin, and pick us up again on Saturday at 11:00am. We left Valdivia at about 9:45am, and arrived at the reserve at about 11:45am. The party includes Freddy Mondaca, who is Milton's assistant, + Vicente Horoz, who is a technician who started working recently at the university and is interested in learning about trapping. At the reserve Pedro Muñoz lives at the house permanently. He has a lot of experience trapping at the reserve. We had lunch then went out to spend the afternoon setting traps. We used a

We set along the edge of an enclosure that hasn't been used for four or five years. There are large patches of dead bamboo. We set along the edge where there was some green vegetation. We took the remaining shermans to another area on a trail that starts from the drive closer to the house. Altogether we set 160 shermans, plus 35 museum special snap traps. Pablo Munoz said at lunch that he has been catching very few animals on the lines he runs twice a month. The reserve is run by the institute of ecology and evolution, which is Milton's department. The area has the only patch of native forest left in the region. Some of the species of trees present in the forest are as follows: Notofagus glauca roble blanco Notofagus obliqua roble gallin Aristotelia chilensis maqui Eucryphia cordifolia ulmo Luma apiculata arreyan roja cinnamon colored bark Amomyrtus luma luna Gevuina avellana avellano Embothrium coccineum motto

We could hear at least three different kinds of frogs calling from the river. Dec.9 We got up at 8:00, had breakfast, and went to check the traps. We caught 4 Abrathy divaricus, three in Shermans and one, (a juvenile) in a snap trap. We processed the animals at the field station. We saved frozen liver and kidney for me, as well as liver in alcohol. In addition we saved a piece of liver to freeze for Claudia, one of Milton's students. They are accustomed to using cactus spines for the legard tail of the study skins. After lunch Pedro brought in some plant specimens that we looked up in the book of Chilean trees, shrubs, and vines. Later we went on a hike to look at trees on the way to one of Pedro's trap lines. We saw a hummingbird nest with two young in it. We put more bait in the traps in the late afternoon, then had dinner. After dinner Pedro and I walked through the woods

Puma live near the low marshy areas and in the woods, but we didn't see any sign of them. We set up a bat net but the bats were flying fairly high off the ground and we didn't catch any, Dec.10 Pedro made sopaipillas for breakfast, then we went out to collect the traps. We caught another 4 Amblotherix olivaceus. The driver arrived with the car but Freddy decided to go ahead and process the animals there, which was good because then when we got back to Valdivia we just had to unload the equipment and specimens.

MF Smith 1996 JOURNAL Bariloche, Rio Negro Province, Argentina Jan.17 Jim Patton and I left San Francisco on Jan.16 at ~2:00pm. Our plane was an hour late taking off, so we only had 20 minutes to change planes in Miami. Arrived at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires and took a taxi to Jorge Newberry airport. Changed Peg's flight to 5:00pm so we would be on the same plane. Eileen Lacey met us at the airport in Bariloche. From my house in Pleasanton I had been in transit for about 29 hours. We checked into the Residencial Tito in Bariloche, had dinner, and went to bed. Jan.18 We went to pick up the Pearson's van from the people at the bicycle shop across from Pearson's apartment. Bought groceries and met Tommy Christie at ~2:15pm. We drove to our first site off highway. Emilio A loaded our gear into a wagon which he pulled by tractor up to the refugio while we hiked up. We set up the tents in an open meadow near the hut. Jim set out 20 Victor rat traps and caught 3 Abrothrix longipilis, 2 Chelomys macronyx, and 3 Aeconacmys in beech forest along the stream with some bamboo and lots of downed logs. We are taking tissues in liquid nitrogen, making a few flat skins since we don't have any cotton, and making complete skeletons of the other animals. Jan.19 Tommy Christie led us up to a higher area where they had found a population of Ctenomys sociabilis last year. After showing us the site Tommy left to go back down to meet his family. Jim set Macabee traps and Eileen showed me how to set a noose to catch tuco's by hand.

MF Smith 1996 JOURNAL Jan. 19 We moved to a moister area nearby to try noosing in the afternoon, but none of us caught any tucos, although Eileen saw some and we could hear them calling. The traps back at the campsite caught: 5 Abrothrix longipilis #4 Chelomys macranyx 1 very dark long snouted animal -- not sure what this is Jan. 20 Jim and Eileen set off in the morning to hike back up to the higher elevation site to try for tucos, I stayed in camp to process the animals we caught there.
