June 2, Judain Creek, 1500ft. 13 mi. S Slander, ShO Co., Calif.
17 Dipodonyx, and 1 ♂ Perognathus inornatus.
The weather was fairly warm during the

and 3 ♂ immature Perognathus californicus.
The hillside I set on had a scattered growth
of junipers, many plants of Stanleya

This time I caught 1 immature ♂ Perognathus
