Reason 1987 33 contained 1 Callicornis and 1 Abdon olivaceus 08.21 Baribole, Discussed mammal field guide with Michael Christie and Marcelo Cambari. Marcelo has done color plates for all of the large mammals (rabbit and squirrel larger); the rats and mice have been done or are being done by Faccaro!! 08.22 Up Cerro Otto in A.M. and counted leaves. Sunny and warm, no new shoots. Did some digging near Lomber and found lots of Cartharonea but no white grubs. Good legibility of marks on leaves. Adrian Moryjean came at lunch time to discuss his thesis. 08.23 Isabel Gallofien and Adrian Moryjean came by in the morning; his comic skull came again to me at the same wrong address and were >1 month old, so once again could not be casted! Left at 11 a.m. and drove to Los Manzanos, arrived at 6 p.m., then drove about 8 km south and camped in bushy steppe including Sarreaux Law only 2 squashed hare out to route, 1 DOR Rhos, and a pile of 29 stunned spot caracase 12 km E Corrallo. Saved 2 big shells and 4 small ones, but they were so stinky that I cached them for the return trip. Two other spot caracases about 100 km further east. Saw a live pole fox vixen in Cap Rock 10 km E Corrallo. This is where the DOR Rhos was also. Saw no live rhea or quaracos, almost no hawks, but at 3 p.m
