V. Meinke 1943 54. Journal May 25, Gabilan Range, 1500 ft., 5 1/2 mi ENE Soledad, Monterey Co., Calif. Last night was very pleasant and clear. This evening it is a little cool. On a short walk Emmet I saw what we believed was a whip tailed lizard. Later this afternoon I saw 2 skinks. One was in dry grass along a fence. The second was in green grass near the creek. They were both quite large and a brown yellow- green in color all over. May 26, Last evening I set 25 Mus. Spec. traps in about the same places as the night before. This morning the traps contained 1 ♀ Peromyscus maniculatus (under Adenostoma), 1 ♂ Peromyscus truei (under Leonotus), 2 ♂ Peromyscus Californicus (under Willow + 1 under Adenostoma, 1 ♂ Reithro- dontomys in grass near blue bush and 1♀ Reithrodontomys near creek under willows. I also set 39 live traps. These caught 2 ♀ and 3 ♂ Paragnathus californicus (see species notes), 1 Peromyscus maniculatus (under Adenostoma), and 1♂ Reithrodontomys (under Artemesia + Blue bush). We spent most of the day preparing specimens. In the evening after setting our traps again we went up to the barn of the Hall Ranch. Mrs. Hall had told us that their were bats there which flew out over the water trough. We saw about 3 bats, but only for a few seconds each,
