at last, after a week of trapping,
i have caught a perognathus. One
momatus. I caught him in an open
field, sandy, and with a low brown
weed as the only vegetation. The
exact location was 250 yds. SE by S
of N. J. Williams ranch house.
Though I had other traps around, at
similar looking places, I only got
that one. My traps in the center of
the basin, as usual, caught nothing.
My traps east of Williams', to the
mouth of Thompson caught only
djips, four of them. I took up my
traps in the middle of the basin, and
together with 20 more concentrated them
in the general area where I got the
momatus.
I shot 5 horned larks from a
large flock; me sage sparrow out
