finished yet) looking for mountain meadow or mallin habitat suitable for Buneomys mordax, but there was none in sight. Considerable "bald" area suitable for the small Buneomys, but we saw no droppings of any sort (except hare) and no sign of mice of any kind. There were not many hideholes, but enough so that Buneomys could live there. To the north and east one could see other balds of the Cullin Manzano peninsula sticking up above a band of lenga. In a couple of places the sharp lower limit of the lenga was immediately above open slopes littered with big dead logs, suggesting fire. No sign of roads or habitations anywhere. Two herefords wandering on one of the balds! I put 22 Shermans, 18 Museum Specials, and 2 steek traps among logs, currant, Berberis, and bamboo at the edge of the grassy ski run. The upper end of my line was at the upper limit of the bamboo. Anita put 28 Shermans, 28 Museum Specials, and 2 steel traps around camp in the mixed forest. One deep gulley near camp had a steep moist slope maybe 50 ft. high covered with blooming Ourizia. The Berberis is in full bloom also. November 26- Cerro Bayo. A touch of frost out in the open. My traps had 1 live and 1 dead Akodon longipilis. Anita's had 2 dead Ako longi. One steel trap had been molested by a fox. Then back to Bariloche and dinner with Patricia Fierro and Jorge Vallerini. He said that he didn't know of any coihue above about 1200m. November 27- Clear and warm. Went out to Estacion Perito Moreno with Fraga. The lake, Laguna de los Juncos is completely dry. We walked all the way across it; the tules are all collapsed and dried up. Then I hunted for about a half hour on our Reithrodon meadow on Estancia La Fragua, looking for Reithro sign. Found only one small group of droppings, no other active holes. Lots of hare droppings, plus sheep droppings. The gropund seemed very dry, but lots of growing thistles etc. in the railroad right-of-way.. Then we hiked up to the ridge below the condor cliff. At a green liloradero on the way up I saw one oucher group of Reithrodon droppings. One or two condors soaring high above the cliff. No guanacos or red deer there, but saw guanaco droppings and guanacos on the skyline on the way home. November 28- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. November 29- Bariloche. Went to Fraga seminar at the University. He and student Alejandra seem to have found pollen of Ourizia, quintral, and Campsidium on the hummingbirds. They assume that they use quintral during the winter. There are no hummers at Puerto Blest in the winter, and no quintral. He says nectar of Notro is too thick for them and has not seem them visiting notro. Then put out traps at Llao Llao at Lago Bscondido, almost same lines as the last time there. Weather calm, warm. The Scotch broom at Llao Llao in full bloom. I put 30 Shermans and 30 Museum Specials; Aita put 28 Shermans and 27 MS. November 30- Lago Bscondido. My line caught 2 Oryzomys (1 of them in MS), 2 Ako longi alive, and 1 Geoxus alive. Anit's line caught 3 dead Ako longi, 2
