FRIDAY 15 June 84  Day 16.

We drove to the beach at Buzios.

First to Casimiro for bread & some lunch.

Then to Rio das Ostras to buy fish & bait.

Then along the coast - being totally developed as a tourist-beach resort. Previous GLT habitat which is long gone for condominiums, hotels & beach cottages which are yet to be built. It is pretty depressing. We pass thru area where Coimbra collected monkeys from forests about to be destroyed.

Jim is eager to fish & had Epides make bamboo fishing poles. I do a little fishing but lose all my shrimp bait & get frustrated. Later we get a run of tiny fish & catch about 30 [[strikethrough]] between [[/strikethrough]] with Jim, Beth & I running an assembly line of fish catching.

SAT 16 JUNE 1984 Day 17

Out in the field early B & B at Viv II & I work with Viv I. Jim is with me for part-time.

B & B indicated that on Thurs. the 2 groups met again & Ben dictated to Ines & Beate from the center while they recorded notes. One of the young males (#9) switched groups from the group with ♀6, Ron, Mark & Micoeca to Sentinel & the other klutzy males.

Saturday was reasonably calm for observations. But have been uncomfortable with Ben - partly because it's impossible to talk with him alone due to Beate, but also since he is too humane i.e. too conservative with the animals. He talks of 6 mos of provisioning. He is also fairly self-righteous at times & too cutesy about his camp romps in the woods.
