Shifted mice to Río, two-two to the Buenos Aires Museum. Dinner with Tom Vallen, Diana Lorenz, and David ... , an Australian forestry officer from Melbourne. Vallen is staying at Villa Pañil, beyond Lago Trebol, in a beautiful cedrus forest. Villa Pañil seems to be managed or owned by the botanist Bruno Pultrachi, whom we met. He was working in his garden full of native and exotic flowers. They were all about to go to a piece of vacant, ungrazed forest full of Chilean species of plants, beyond Villa Ongostera on the way to Paso Puyehue. mar.26 Bariloche. Sunny warm. Drove out to the Estriero at Pampa de 4 menules at 8 PM. Camped amid Patillo holes, dacica, scattered clumps of Berberis, Rosa, etc. Wassentler camped at the head of the Pater where it enters the woods. José came to check us out.
