Pearson 1974 Chilempe Dec 3 Refugio Nermayer. 3 cage tropes at a woodpile in Puro larga Corgat 2 big and 1 small Chilempe. Between 11:30 a.m. ad 3:30 p.m., by auto. Baited with apple + rolled oats. They had eaten all the apple, They ate more apple immediately (in preference to armaway rhizome). Later in cages they ate rolled oats. Up near the first lake was a beautiful long earth core 12 m long - and then it disappeared into a snowbank. The small Chilempe was an immature 35 g, surely born under the snow. Dec 4 Caged adults have a Concord grape, fruity odor. Overnight they ate apple but not armaway rhizomes x
