rolling legs everywhere; alternated 15 Sherwood and 15 MS toward Chile plus 8 more MS, and then 9 Sherwood and 9 MS towards Argentina. The linea touch only two flowering clumps. Evening calm, mild, full moon. May 3 night calm, clear, heavy frost. The 64 traps caught 14 Aba longi, 3 Antiscamps, and 1 Orygopus. The aba longis seems big and long-tailed. Set their accounts. Saved Shulla. Heard hummingbird long before sun reached frosty campsite. Have seen a few hummingbird flowers on holly-leaved buck = Dodecandra bracteata. Drove over to Lengua Pass and 5 km down into Chile until the bamboo had reappeared. Saw only one flowering clump and at mostly or entirely sterile. Lots of snow across the pass. Saw several more tiny lights and one red. Sigh not clear one on top in the snow. Stopped to shin in this thicker-dropped longa level close to bamboo. Pavote in floor spent time in the longa, perhaps eating berries on the smooth-leaved with flower = Pringia. Clouded up about 3 p.m. Returned to camp at Cascada Diora again. Traps during day had caught 2 aba longi. a couple of hundred yards west, where the Rio Peregrino crosses under the road, I found a dead Dromiceia curled up on the path. Very light,
