The Mal Pais lava flows were quite impressive (Just west of Carrizozo). 1230 arrived at University of New Mexico where we met Dave at the Museum of Southwestern Biology. We gathered up the supplies we needed (Acetone, rubber-bulbs, immersion oil, slide boxes, "Mammals of New Mexico", etc.) then examined the slides we had already karyotyped. We were able to positively identify all but one specimen (HST 608) from the "Bar" locality near Ruidoso.
