(Fundo Renihue, Fiordo Renihue). His address is 356 Buin, Puerto Montt. He aparently has no "plans", just wants to preserve it, and says that Southern Chile is one of the few places where you can still buy large tracts of undisturbed land at a reasonable price. He seems to have bought much of it from private owners. November 16- Visited the University in the morning and met Solar, Carlos Moreno, Murua, and Luz Gonzales. They say that the quila is beginning to bloom at their study site at San Martin. Luz is now interested in correlating niche-width in Akodon olivaceus with heterozygosity of electrophoretic patterns. Milton showed us 8 specimens of the mystery mouse that is probably Patterson's new Pearsonomys. The zygomatic plate is narrow and very slantly, the teeth Notiomys- like, or Geoxus-like. Some variation in color (black to dark brown), some bellies dark silvery like Akodon longipilis and some almost black like sanborni. One of the 8 specimens had been alive but died while we were at Aguas Calientes. It had a rather fat amd hairy tail. Milton has karyotypes, which are Akodon-like. Left about 1 p.m. for Paso Puyehue. A panorama of snow-capped volcanos. A Norway? rat ran across the road at Nilque. At 4.5 km W of Anticura, after passing 50 km of mostly dead quila (95%), we started seeing lots of live quila and only a little dead. The Chilean Aduana is 6km by road E of Anticura. There is lots of green quila there, some dead quila with flowers, and some green green quila with flowers, so the bloom is spreading east. 2.5 km by road east of the Aduana the bamboo was all couleu, but a couple of more patches of quila until the last one at 5.2km east of the Aduana. Set traps at Paso Puyehue a few hundred m into Argentina in grassy/bushy chaura habitat; lots of snow around. No fresh sign of mice, but a few earth cores; no recent cuttings and no droppings. I set 15 Shermans and 15 Museum Specials; Anita set 4 Shermans and 24 Museum Specials. Weather clear and warm. We set more traps 6,6 km by road east of the summit and 600 ft lower altitude. Grassy road shoulder with bamboo couleu and dombeyi trees. This is a place with earth cores and runways, but not fresh. Anita set 20 traps and I set 5 Shermans, 6 Museum Specials, and 1 jump trap. Then we drove another 0.5 km down the hill and camped. Saw a flock of a dozen or more parrots; Myotis-like bat flying; about 43 kh frequency. Evening clear, calm, mild temperature. November 17- Morning clear, mild. Nothing in the traps. Anita had one tail tip, but I could not identify it. Took some photos on the way down the hill such as along the Rio Blanco and a side stream. Met Javier Bellati along
