V. Memmler 1943 53. Journal May 24, Gabilan Range, 1500 ft, 5 1/2 mi. ENE Soledad, Monterey Co., CA present location. May 25, We are staying in a small cabin on the Hall Ranch. The ranch has fields of barley and an almond grove. The land is sheped into rounded hills; where the land is not cultivated there are grassy slopes with stands of Adenostoma fasciculatum in the canyons. Canotus cuneatus is mixed in with the Adenostoma. There is a blue-grey plant in great abundance [illegible] mixed with the grass. This plant is about 4 ft. tall. Last night I set 25 traps along the margins of the grass where it met the canyon bottom stand of Adenostoma. This morning 9 traps were sprung with no catch, 5 contained Peromyscus truei (3 q + 2 s all but one q immature), 1 s Reithrodontomyx and 2 s Peromyscus maniculatus. Last evening I caught a lizard just outside the cabin, I believe it is a Uta (see specimen #166. This afternoon shot 2 Sceloporus. This morning the following birds were observed: Jetmouse, Wren-tit, Song Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Bewick's Wren, Linnet, Thrasher, Cal. Jay, P. Quail, Turkey Vulture, Spotted Towhee, Horned Lark, Bush-tit. The weather has been very warm today.
