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
