Pearson-1992 22 Tamara Olson, concerned with the Puerto Blest interpretive center. Also the parkguard, El Oso, whom we met in the mallin at Lago Guillelmo a couple of years ago. Michael Christie has some buzzard-eagle pellets (Geranoaetus) from Lacey's tuco area that contain incisors of a big tuco-tuco (or viscacha?). He also saw and photographed a very "tame" fox there. We drove down to Tamara's study area in the afternoon. It is right at our tuco site 10 km S Nahuel Huapi. They are camped in willows at the base of the hills west of the road, and were watching tucos east of the road, but we did not intrude on them. We gathered some Adesmia at Nahuel Huapi that fits well with Dimitri's boronioides, but its foliage is glandular-sticky and the ladder-leaves are longer than in the Santa Cruz plant. So the Santa Cruz species must be one of the other 53 Patagonian species, maybe emarginata? or trijuga? Abel Basti said that the library here has a xerox of a report by Roth Kughel, 1915, on wild fires in the Bariloche area. December 16.- Bariloche. Rain overnight, morning cloudy. "Tanta pobresa. Dios por aqui no paso". The seedling lengas? from Chalhuaco have not put out a big enough leaf yet to identify them.
