Pearson - 1991 were not attracted to the butane lantern and sheet. Finally one flew into the lantern and when I tipped the lantern to get him out it clogged up and we couldnt get it started again. Subsequently two flew into the headlights and got lost. A few beetles came to a flashlight shining on the sheet. Temperature was cool, clear. I think I remember moths flying at dusk at Ruca Malen in the bamboo. December 14.- Back to Bariloche at 8:30 a.m. Clear. Fluecks have been studying deer up in the Cuyin Manzano close to the type locality of Ctenomys sociabilis. There is a cabin near there that they use. December 15.-Blustery, cool, partially cloudy. Returned Ruiz and Pavon book to Nelly Neumeyer. She says that burned tree trunks on the north slope of Cerro Otto were there in her father's time. She listed a long series of fires that she remembers. Went back to the Fogon campsite near Lago Moreno on the Llao Llao Peninsula at 7:30 p.m. Cool (you could see your breath), occasional sprinkles, blustery in the tree tops but calm in the bamboo. Only one moth, medium-sized, was attracted to the lantern-and-sheet, and it got away. Saw one other while jacklighting; it got away. About 11 p.m. we gave up and took down the sheet...and there was a medium sized moth on the bottom backside of the sheet. Maybe the one that got away. This was in the middle of a canaveral. Then we burned the lantern in the car for a while and caught one smaller moth against a window. This was 5 m away in the same canaveral. Another pale moth along the paved road back toward Llao Llao. Home midnight. There were a few young shoots in the canaveral, but not many. December 16.- Bariloche. On the radio again with Abel Basti and Contreras: fire eology. December 17.- Christie back from Termas de Puyehue. Poured rain there. He saw no signs of a mouse outbreak in the quila bamboo bloom. He left 11 traps at the pass hoping to get Euneomys mordax and the next day had 2 Chelemys, 2 Abrothrix, and 1 Auliscomys. He says the habitat is very similar to the mordax habitat at Copahue. Bettinellis brought 2 bird road kills for MVZ, Monjeau a manuscript to read. Fluecks brought letters to mail. December 18.- To Buenos Aires. Dinner with Osvaldo, Estella, and Gustavo Reig. Osvaldo is looking gaunt but still writing every day, not keeping in touch with Argentine mammalogists.
