S. Memmler 1943 55. journal May 26, Galician Range, 1500 ft., 5 1/2 mi. ENE of Celestia, Monterey Co., Calif. so that we did not have time to shoot any. It was foggy this morning until about 10:30. The rest of the day was clear, and the evening was cooler than the day before. May 27, Last night I set out 50 live traps. This morning these had caught: 6 Reithrodontomys (2?4?), 2?? 1? Perognathus, and 2 ? Microtus and 1 Peromyscus maniculatus. This morning after bringing back our traps we collected plants and tried to identify them. We decided to press all of them and take them home to verify their identification. This noon we picked peas, rhubarb and lettuce from Mrs. Hall's garden and brought milk from her. We also looked over her barn for evidence of bats, but found none. We caught 3 house mice in the barn and saw several others. I shot a Sceloporus on the way. The afternoon we put up our mammals. This evening we set out live traps on the hill that Seth Benson had trapped on the night before. While setting out traps we saw a large burrow, perhaps that of a Badger. It was misting very heavily this morning, and it came down almost as rain. This cleared during the morning and the rest of the day has been clear and moderately warm.
