Feb* 26. Up at 8 o'clock sharp and had breakfast. As we 

 are leaving tomorrow for Osorno, we went first to the correo 

 to send a wire to Teuber giving time of our arrival* Then 

 we went back to the park on the hill to collect* Took some 

 good things there and in the pasture below, especially some 

 thrips, staphylinids and weevils* On our way back to the 

 hotel we stopped at Karl's to pick up the prints and films 

 of the Chilo6 trip and to leave certain films for extra 

 prints. After lunch Ra&L took a nap while I sorted catch 

 and read some more in "Kirn"* ¥ent out for onces at U.30 

 and. in spite of a gentle rain, back to the pasture for a 

 little more collecting* Back at the hotel I wrote a letter 

 to Clara. That night we took in a movie, "Felipe Derbray", 

 made in Argentina and very melodramatic.

 No Teuber at the Osorno station so we went to the Hotel 

 Burnier where we settled our bags in room 317* We then 

 went to the office of the Department of Agriculture where 

 we expected to find Teuber. Instead we learned that he ex- 

 pected us on a later train and would be at the hotel at 2 PM. 

 He was on time and brought a letter from Guest enclosing a 

 valentine from Sophy and Hilda, no letter from Clara. First 

 impressions of Teuber were very favorable. He is obviously 

 germanic with his blond hair and blue eyes and was courteous 

 and not at all blustery. We talked about Chilo6 and made 

 plans for our time in Osorno. "Tomorrow to Puerto Octay and 

 the next day to Puyehue." That afternoon we drove out to a 



Experiment Station at Puerto Octay 



small station where seedlings of Monterey pine are being 

 grown for use in reforestation. While the Monterey pine 

 is of little importance in this country, it has proved to
