Longmont 1939 Itinerary Oct.8 Huichica Cr. 45 mouse traps and one set of #15 steel traps were also set out on a low oak covered hill further up the Cr. at an elevation of about 250 ft. all were set at the edge of a thicket of Adenostema faciculatum and among live oaks, and poison oak, and buckeyes. The steel traps were baited with the body of a rabbit and the mouse traps with oat meal. The catch was: Peromyscus truei gilbertii 2 ♂ Both were caught at the edge of the chamise thicket. Oct.15 Huichica Cr. 200 ft. This evening two bats were collected: Lasiurus borealis telista 1 ♂ Myotis evotis 1 ♀ The Lasiurus was shot at dusk along the margin of tree lining the Cr. and the Myotis was found hanging from a rafter in the basement of my home. It had apparently entered through an open cellar door.
