could see lots of fresh digging; a calm night. This locality on Estancia La Fragua is about 3 km. E of Estancia Verde Moreno (or Saguna Sol Fuerza). The lake is 2 m. mud flats now, the Porcupine standing in the middle of the lake part. After daybreak I explored two seeps on the south side of the road a few hundred meters west of the turnoff to the microwave tower. Green turf, meads, burdock, and chassey trees.

A car with searchlight cruised up and broke the road about 11 p.m.; I heard one shot. Home 11 a.m. April 21 Barilobo. Dinner at Tarold's with S. Merton, Martin, Sybil Brandt, Andy---, a young Argentine studying porcupines. April 22 Barilobo. Rain all day. April 23 Settled showers. Sept 3 p.m. for Estancia Verde Moreno, Settled clouds. Put 11 cage traps for Peltodors, cheese bait, at 1 km. 3.6 on south side of road of a seep. Lots of droppings. Sr. Marful not home. Then found a fine campsite about 100 m above the gate on the way to the microwave Station, a seep, Berberis, chassey, bunchgrass, prunus, lots of Peltodorus droppings. Put out 4 more cage traps plus 7 hole traps. Several clusters of Peltodorus holes within 30 m of the
