E.Y. Miller 1940 General Account (Mar.11) Mar.15 1940. Left Berkeley, Calif. about 9 AM, with S.S.B. Benson and his wife in U.C. truck no 170 - make - International, small type with closed over back. We carried equipment for a 3 months trip into Mexico - purpose, chiefly to collect mammals, also some birds and reptiles. We expected to enter the border at Laredo, Texas. The first day we made San Fernando, Calif., where we stayed overnight at the home of Mrs. Benson's parents. Mrs. Benson remained at San Fernando, and S.S. Benson and I left there in the morning, Mar.12. We stopped at Pasadena for a short time to see Van Rossum. We went through Los Angeles to get a film pack adapter. The second night we camped along the road near Wellton, Arizona. Mar.13 we reached Nogales Ariz., on the Mexican border, passing through Tucson, Ariz.- We repaired (had repaired) our generator at Tucson, it being burned out as a result of charging too high. At Nogales we spent the night in the "Shady Auto Camp", a clean but run down place. Price of cabin without bedding $1.00. Hot shower included. Our bedding was insufficient for the coolness of the nights in this region, at Nogales the minimum night temperature of 18° F was recorded by our thermometer. We needed heavy wool socks and woolen underwear to sleep in. Our beds were army cots with sleeping bags. Mar.14. We visited Fred W. Dille, formerly of the Biological Survey, now retired. He gave us the skull of a mountain lion, which he had obtained from William Hathaway. I cleaned the skull, which was full of maggots and packed it in sawdust for

E.V. Miller 1940 2. General Account shipments to the Museum at Berkeley. In the afternoon Mr. Dille drove us to Hathaway's Ranch to see if we could get the skin of the lion. We did not succeed as Mr. Hathaway was not home. At his house, 7 miles NE of Nogales we saw numerous birds, including Palmer Thrasher, Gambel White-crowned Sparrow, Vermillion Flycatcher, Pyrsoalopix, Canyon Towhee, Gila Woodpecker, Red-tailed Hawk, Morning Dove, Green- tailed Towhee, Bewick Wren, Chipping Sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. At Mr. Dille's home in Nogales I saw Inca Doves and Lawrence Goldfinches. The latter occur there about once in every 5 years according to Dille. In the late afternoon we left, stopping at (near) Elgin, Ariz. for the night, camping along the road. We took with us Margarito Velgadillo from Nogales, Mexico. He assisted with the trapping and did most of the cooking. Mar. 15. We passed through Sunnyside, Ariz. and camped at Peterson's Ranch, 2 miles from Sunnyside, 6100' elevation, in the Huachuca Mts. This region is a game preserve and game hunting is not permitted. At Sunnyside we met a lion hunter, however, who hunted lions here. He claimed to have taken Bobcats, Coati-mundi, Mountain Lions, and Ring-tailed Cats. Sunnyside is nothing but a small ranch, there being no store. Near camp I saw Arizona Jays, Red-backed Junco, Chipping Sparrows, and Bewick Wrens - also Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Busch-tits, and Benson took a Bridled Titmouse. According to him the Pygmy Owl call attracts small birds here. In the afternoon

E.V. Miller 1940 3 General Account I set out 10 no 1 Schuyler traps in a small plot of heavy grass growth around a spring. The plot was about 30 yds. square and the grass mostly dead and very thick. A few runways were present. I hoped to get Cottun Rats (Sigmodon) This plot is about 1/4 mile W.of camps, on the road to Sunnygordo- along the road I set 16 no 3 (small) Schuyler traps (for mice, etc.). The soil here is rocky and the vegetation small trees - Arizona Juniper, Pinen Pine, Live Oak, Margarita, Carnothus, etc. Underbrush is not thick. Margarito caught 2 gophers in the afternoon and Benen a Sigmodon, near the camp. I did not visit my traps. The weather is cold, and this evening we built a fire in the tent to write these notes. Throughout the trip the weather has been clear and warm in the day time. Correction - visited traps after dark - none spring. Heard a Screech Owl after dark and tried to find it without success. Mar 16 Visited my traps after sunrise - none spring. Set out 10 more Schuyler no. 1's in same place as first 10 of yesterday. The Aphelecoma here appears to be aiberri according to Bailey's Handbook. The throat is gray and the calls more magpie-like than A. californica. Crested Jays are also present. In afternoon saw Robins, Golden Eagle, Ravens, and Hutton Vireo. Set out, in late afternoon, 50 small wooden traps for mice, baited with oatmeal. Set them along road to ranch, among rocks, under Rhus, live oaks, nut pines, junipers and around stumps and Century plants. Visited my other traps, - none spring. The

E.V. Miller 1940 General Account Road ends at the ranch house, but a trail below the house goes to Huachuca Peak, which is a mile or so to the N. of us. Mar. 17. Picked up traps early in morning - none springing. Saw Arizona Jay carrying nesting material. Left about noon and drove to El Paso, Texas, where we slept in the hills. Mar. 18. Drove through Texas down into the Big Bend Region, on route to the Chisos Mts. in Brewster Co., Texas. We camped in th desert 47 mi from Marathon and about 30 miles, approximately north of the Chisos. In the late afternoon I set out 50 small mouse traps, baited with oatmeal and birdseed, 6 to 10 yds. apart, in wipced mesquite and Creosote Bush habitat. The traps were placed 2 to 3 ft from bushes, in the open. Benson and I strung some fish line across a watering pool about 15 yds wide, in hopes of getting bnts. Some horses and cattle waded into the pool and demolished part of our strings, which we reset before dark. A fairly good breeze is blowing. Mar. 19. Picked up traps early in morning. Took following: 1 ♂ Peromyscus eremicus (young), 5♂ Perognathus pericillatus, 1 ♂ Dipodomys merriamii, 1 ♂ and 1 young ♀ Dipodomys ordii, 1 ♂ Tadarida mexicana. Put up 7 of these. After this we drove south to the Chisos Mts. in the Big Bend Region. These mts. are now in process of becoming a National Park. A large CCC camp is located here, developing roads, wells, etc. We obtained permission to trap small mammals in the Park. Late in the afternoon Benson, Margo,

and I took 50 no 1 Schuyler traps and ten gopher traps and walked across the hills toward a grassy place where we were told Cotton Rats had previously been trapped. We walked 1 1/2 hrs, mostly uphill, finding the place about 4 mi. S of Emery Peak. We set all but about 1/2 of the gopher traps and started for camp. Dust had fallen and a 3/4 moon was shining by the time we were half way back to camp. About this time Benson, who was in the lead, saw a Hog-nosed Shunk in the path a few feet ahead. We threw rocks at it and chased it about 50 yds down a little gully, where Benson bagged it with rocks. Benson carried the animal to camp, taking the lead. Margo and I followed at a considerable distance behind. At about 10 30 PM I set out 50 small wooden mouse traps on a rocky SW facing slope with a scant covering of mesquite, juniper, cactus, small species of yucca, nut pine, and other brush, and a little dried grass. March 20 Picked up my 50 small traps which I set last evening, at about sunup. Got one immature Peromyscus boylii. After breakfast left to pick up the cotton rat and gopher traps set last night. I stayed in camp and skinned my mouse and the shunk caught last night. The shunk had considerable scent on his (or probably young) fur, but after I skinned for a while the odor became not at all unpleasant. This job took me all morning as it was the first large animal I had

B.V. Miller 1940 6 General Account. ever put up. In this region I have seen Bewick Wren, Sloyd Bush-Tito, Aphelocoma [illegible], Turkey Vulture, some kind of black-capped gruatecher and others unidentified. We left March 21 camp late in the afternoon stopping at the CCC camp nearby to take their walk to town. Mr. Scott, the superintendent had earlier in the day repaired a broken part on the car for us, and now he invited us to dinner. During the drive to Marathon, 84 miles away, from starting at about 5:30 PM I saw the following. Jack-rabbits (black-tailed) - 11, White-tailed Deer - 3, Silvilagus sp: 1, Owl - 1, Red-tailed Hawk - 1, Road Runner - 3. March 22 After camping along the road we drove from early morning until about 4:30 P.M., when we reached Laredo on the Mexican border. During the trip from Dryden, Texas to Laredo, along the road I saw the following vertebrates (plus others unidentified): Mourning Dove, Shrike, White-necked Raven, Meadow Lark, dead Black-tailed Jack Rabbit, dead Red-tailed Hawk, English Sparrow, Turkey Vulture, Canyon Wren, Cardinal, Linnet, Mockingbird, Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (dead), Brewer Blackbirds, Road Runner, Belted Kingfisher (call heard), Texas Woodpecker, Boat-tailed Grackle, Marsh Hawk, Lark Sparrow, Red-headed Woodpecker, Pyrauloxia, and Harris Hawk (seen by Benson only). March 23 We stayed in Laredo, Texas, while Benson got special permission to get our stuff across the border.

E.V. Haller 1940 7 General Account. Beld-Tailed Crakes and English Sparrows were the only prominent birds now in Jaredo. March 23 We got across the border in early afternoon, ate at a Mex- can restaurant and drove S on the main highway to Monterrey, New Mexico. Mex. 38 miles out from Jaredo, we turned off the main highway to the E m[thru] a dirt road to Guerrero. This was in bad shape due to a recent rain. We drove down this road a mile and camped to the left of it about 100 yds. To the northwest we could see a small pond about 3/4 mile distant. In the late afternoon I set out 50 wooden mouse (Baited with bird seed & oatmeal) traps on rocky (small) ground among fairly open brush about 4 to 5 ft. in height and resembling Beanthuis ? set out also 10 No 1 Schryler traps around wood-set (Baited with dried apricots). nests among prickly pear cactus. Then walked about a mile or more in a circle N of camp with my 16 gauge. Near camp I shot a Cottontail. After dark I heard bats flying about giving a high pitched call note, also heard coyotes yapping at sunset. Saw Desert Sparrow, Bewick Wren and Raven. Heard other birds. Visited my traps after dark - nothing in them - about 1/5 min. to 9 PM. March 24 Began raining early in morning. We were in the tent but, not having it pitched completely the floor was soon muddy. Rained harder and harder throughout the morning. We picked up our traps. I took 4 Neotoma micropus, 2 ?, 2 ?; 1 ? Perognathus merriamii; 1 ? Dipodomys merriami; 2 ? Peromyscus leucopus (immatures).

E. V. Miller 1940 General Account. The Wood Pies were all caught in large traps set near their nests. Nearly 2 in. of rain by 11:30 P.M. Weather fairly warm. In the afternoon I walked about 3/4 mile to a small lake about 1/2 mile long and 1/4 mile wide. On it were Canvas-backed Ducks, American Widgeon, Green-winged Teal and Mallards. On the shore were Killdeer, Small Sandpipers (size of Western), Greater Yellowlegs and American Pipit. Near the shore were Sparrow Hawks and a Swallow Tail Flycatcher. I also saw a Gopher Snake which I collected. Many Ravens were flying about. On the way to camp I saw 3 Jack Rabbits and shot one. March 25 Still cloudy. Began raining about 8:30 P.M. Colder today. We set out no traps last night. Too muddy for us to leave now. In the morning we put up 2 snakes and a toad. In the afternoon it was not raining, and Benson and I walked to the pond 3/4 mile N of us. Here [illegible] Benson shot 3 Dowitchers, 1 Lark Bunting and 1 Sandwich Sparrow, I got a Lesser Yellowlegs and on the way to camp a Cottontail. At camp Benson shot a Clay-colored Sparrow. We then set out 50 traps apiece—Marge also. March 26 Had in my traps 6♂, 2♀ Peromyscus leucopus and one ♀ Perognathus merriami. Rained very little as not at all last night, but still cloudy with fine misty rain this morning. Weather fairly warm. Put up mammals in the morning. Benson shot two Harris Hawks and a White-necked Raven at camp.

P.V. Miller 1940 General Account He put up the hawks and ?the Raven. About 4 PM we went hunting. I collected a Pyrruloxia and Benson 3 Polioptila caerulea and a Cottontail Rabbit. We also shot a Jack-rabbit, which had an open wound in its side. We did not save it. It did not rain during the day but is still cloudy at night. March 27 We left camp in the morning, setting only 25 traps the last night and not putting any of the 'catch' (1 Peromyscus sp.) up. The side road was very muddy and we barely made the main road. We travelled to Monterrey, not seeing any good places to turn off and trap. We left the gray cloudy sky behind before reaching Monterrey. Benson saw the American Consul there, but there were not permits yet for us. We left soon, going a few miles to Catarina (still in Nuevo Leon). From here we took a dirt road S that soon led us into the river bottoms (The Pea River, I believe). We went about 1.5 miles S and then turned into a large dry canyon to the W. After about 1.5 miles up it we camped on the N side of a ridged "island" in the center of the canyon. Some gypsum pits were being worked here by 10 to 15 Mexicanos. They came up to visit us while their blasts were fired. Each of us set out 50 wooden mouse traps and ? set out also 10 no 1 Schuyler traps for rats or squirrels. (1?, +?)(no embryos) March 28 ?in my traps I collected 5 Peromyscus boylii. The night before ? and Benson shot a few bats including : (?shot 1 T. femorosaca, ?, no embryos) Tadarida femorosaca, T. mexicana and a Pipistrelle. During the day we put up specimens and collected birds.

E. U. Miller 1940 General Account. I took 1 Dryobates scalaris, 1 Tostoloma cumirostrum, 1 Clay-Colored Sparrow (See Bailey's Handbook), and one Blue-throated Hummingbird. In the afternoon I set out 49 more wooden mouse traps and 10 more Schuyler no. 1s. These were all set on a rocky "hogback." Some at the base of the steep rocks of its side and some on top. Medium thick brush and cactus up to 6 or 7 ft. high covers it, where not too rocky. This is the island upon which we are camped. March 29 Picked up my "Museum Specials" - Took 5 Perupgeus longii in the 50 left out from the previous night and 7 of the same species in the 49 set yesterday. Sexes 5 M, 5 F, 2 unknown (sex). Put up my Cactus Woodpecker shot yesterday and saved my Clay-colored Sparrow as a skeleton. March 30 We left yesterday's camp in the afternoon, drove back of the river, where we collected a frog and several small fish. The river is called "Santa Catarina" by the natives and is a small, cool stream. We drove up to a position location on the ranch of a native: 2400 ft., Rancho Rodeo, 7.3 mi. S Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon. In late afternoon here I set out 50 museum specials along a low brush fence lined with medium sized, foliated trees. This morning I got from the traps 3 P. longii 1 M, 2 F, and 1 M immature P. leucopterus. Shot two bats last night but could not find them. During the day I shot from the trees over our camp a Golden-fronted Woodpecker and a Black-crested

E.V. Miller 1940 General Account Titmouse. In the late afternoon I set out 50 more M. specials for mice, up on a rocky, brush and cactus covered slope. I collected a Dark Bunting, a Linnnet and a lizard (Holbrookia?) while setting the traps. Later I set 10 Schuyler no 1 traps in a nearby field for Cotton Rats. These were set in a runway under some weeds at the edge of a wheat field. There was no signs (grass cuttings) here, however. In the evening I shot 4 bats and found 2 of them - both Tadarida mexicana, 1 ♂, 1 ♀. March 31 Took 7 Peromyscus (boykii?) in mouse traps, 4 ♂, 3 ♀. Took 1 ♂ Sigmodon in a net trap. During the day shot a ♀ Calliope(?) Hummingbird at camp. In the afternoon Benson, Margo, and I went over to the E side of the canyon to inspect a 'bat' cave. The natives spoke of there being a 'few' bats here. The cave was about 15 ft. high and 50 ft. long and had been used as a goat pen. We found no bats. There is another cave farther away, which is supposed to have more bats. We expect to visit it tomorrow. In the evening I went hunting and collected a Sealed Quail ♀ and a Cottontail (⚬?). On the way to the cave I took a Cremidophorus seplineatus. In the evening I shot a ♂ Pipistrellus sp? April 1 Yesterday Benson made known his desire to have some Cittellus variegatus to some natives, and gave two ♀ persons some shells to get squirrels with. The result was that about 21 squirrels were brought in not only by the persons Benson had told but by several

E. O. Miller 1940 General Account. others also. In the morning we went up to look at a bat cave. We were assured there were hundreds of bats in it. The cave was in the Arroyo San Bartolo about a mile W from camp. The cave was about 200 yds long and large enough to stand upright in in most places. There was a strong smell of Tadarida at the mouth, and further in we found small quantities of bat feces. We saw but one bat, however, which we were not able to capture. I collected Broad-tailed 17 specimens of Sceloporus in the canyon, and one Golden-eared Hummingbird. April 2 Stayed in camp and put up C. variegatus couchii which the natives brought in considerable numbers, some trapped and some shot. Benson shot a Broad-billed Hummingbird at camp and I prepared it. We expect to leave for Monterey tomorrow. April 4 On April 2 in the evening I shot four Pipistrelles, 20♂ 2♀. On April 3 we went to Monterey, when Benson managed to get himself a "courtesy Permit". The American Consul, Mr. Moses, invited us to dinner, that so we were forced to spend the evening in town. On April 4 we drove toward Matamoros to a position 31 miles ENE of Bravo, Nuevo Leon. In late afternoon I set out 50 M. Specials and 10 Schuyler No 1s. I shot a Red-billed Pigeon, a Golden-fronted Woodpecker and a Wood Rat. After dark I set out 50 small live traps for mice. Habitat here is mesquite, otter brush, prickly pear cactus and other cacti. The growth

E.V. Miller 1940 /3 General Account is 6 to 15 ft. high and so dense that one can hardly walk through it, in fact, in most places one can't. I looked at my rat traps after dark and found 4 Neotoma microtusa, 3 ♀, 1 ♂. Nothing in the small traps, but many of them set off apparently by rats. The the topography of the region is that of low rolling hills. The soil varies, much of it being fine gray-brown in color, and sandy. On the hills is more brush and the ground is covered with small pebbles. In the swales the cacti grow very thick and abundantly. The Opuntias is blooming now. A few tree yuccas (sp?) are present. I shot a Red-billed Pigeon in the afternoon (as before mentioned) but it was only winged, and escaped into the cacti. I saw also Cardinal, Mockingbird, Scaled Quail, and Eremidokleres (aeplineatus?) April 5 Picked up my traps in early morning. Nothing in M. Speials. 2 Neotoma microtusa ♀'s in rat traps. 4 Perognathus merriami, ♂'s. in live traps. April 6 Set 99 M. Specials, 50 live mouse traps and 3 rat traps yesterday afternoon and night. Caught 3 Neotoma micropus 1♂, 2 ♀; 3 Perognathus merriami ♂'s; 2 Liomys sp. 1♂, 1♀; and 1 Lemmyscus leucopus, ♀. This is a different location from April 5. Yesterday we drove toward Matamoros into Tamaulipas, 24 mi. ESE Reynosa. This morning is cloudy with a little rain. The barometer registers zero.

After putting up the speci- mens we drove on to Matamoros. This town is fairly large but possesses exceedingly poor roads and two we saw stores or buildings of any consequence, most of the houses, etc., being of the dilapidated Mexican type. From Matamoros we drove 5 for 5.7 mi. and turned off into the brush, which here was mostly large mesquite and other brush, with a small amount of cactus. It was open enough to get through to set traps in most places. A little grass was growing on the gray- brown, fine textured soil. At sundown I set 50 M specials to the N of our camp. After dinner I set 50 live traps for mice, baited with birdseed. During this I shot a Silviloquo and Benson a Parrague. April 7 In traps set last night got nothing in live ones. In others: 1 Perognathus merriami σⁱ; 2 Onychomys leucogaster 1σ, 1φ; 7 Peromyscus leucopus, 4σ, 3φ. During the day Benson shot 2 Green Jays and I a White-eyed Vireo. After lunch we traveled 3 toward San Fernando, turning off the highway to go over to the Laguna Madre. Tonight we camped near an arm of it, by a small pond. I set 50 M. specials on flat ground covered with a loose large growth of tussocks of coarse grass and small weeds. On the pond I shot a φ Shoveller and an 14

Avocet, saw also Curlews, Black-backed Stilts, Small Sandpipers, Killdeer, Cormorant, Tri-colored Red-winged Blackbirds, Lesser Scaup, Road Runner, Black Vultures, Caracara at camp. Heard a Night Heron. Along the road today saw Mockingbird, Vermillion Flycatcher, Shrike, Cactus Woodpecker, Harris Hawk, Turkey Vulture, White Pelican, Swallows (sp?), Swifts (sp?). At camp in the morn- ing heard a Chachalaca. Saw many Silvilagos out in the afternoon during an eclipse of the sun, which was about 2 observed here. At camp tonight we saw many Jack-Rabbits but no bats, which we effected near the water. Our location here is 41 mi. SSW Matamoros, 6 mi. E San Pedro, Tamaulipas. April 8. Got nothing in my traps this morning. On its pond were Pelicans, Willet, Godwits, Laughing Gull, and Terns (sp?) in addition to those seen yesterday. We went on to the Laguna Madre. The country here was sparsely populated, flat, sandy soil, and mostly covered with mesquite or grass and weeds. We caught a few fish at a small wharf. We then drove back along our former route, passing through San Pedro, La Gloria, La Reforma, Guichavo and El Tigre on the way to Matamoros. These 'Towns' are nearly all nothing but ranches with names and places on the maps. We camped about 6 PM in the same place as day before yesterday! 5.7 mi. S

Weather cool?, not many mosquitoes, etc. Driving along the road today Benson shot 2 Citellus Mexicanus and we saw a White-tailed Deer. At El Tigre ? found a small Toad hiding in a land crab's hole. We looked for mole signs but found none. We saw some gopher signs a few miles S of Matamoros. April 9 In my 50 M.specials ? took 2 ? Peromyscus leucopus, 1 ? Linmys sp., 2 ? Perognathus merriami, and 2 ?, 1? Ochommys leucogaster. ?in my 50 live traps ? took 2 ? P. merriami and 1 ? Rheithrodontys sp. This camp was made because we could travel no farther yesterday. ?t turned out to be within a few hundred yards of our camp of the night of April 7: 5.7 mi. S Matamoros, Tamaulipas. The habitat was the same as the country here is flat and much alike for miles. Today we travelled on through Matamoros and W toward Reynosa. Our steering gear broke about 40 miles from Reynosa so we proceeded globly to within a few miles of town and camped. Set out 50 live traps. April 10 Got 2 ? Perognathus merriami in my live traps. Location about 1 mi. SE Reynosa. From Reynosa we drove south to Charco Escondido. In the afternoon, ? set out 50 M. specials in a habitat of medium thick cage mesquite, other brush and prickly pear cactus.

E.V. Miller 1940 17 General Account. April 10 (cont.) The soil is partly fine light brown sand and partly covered with a layer of thin dried mud - due to a flood about a month ago. We are camped on the east side of the pond, which is on the east side of the town. after dark I set 50 live traps for mice in a field southeast of town. Set one steel trap for a wood rat. April 11. Caught one ♀ Neotoma micropus and 2 ♂ Peromyscus leucopus (one immature). April 12. Set 10 Schuyler no 1's for rats and 50 M. Specials for mice, partly along a brush fence around a ploughed field, last night. Caught 3 ♀ and 2 ♂ Neotoma micropus, 3 ♀ and 5 ♂ Perognathus merriami, and 1 ♀, 2 ♂ Peromyscus leucopus. Away from the field I caught practically none of the mice. The weather was cloudy and cool today in contrast to the heat of yesterday. Set 33 M. Specials along same fence and field tonight. April 13 Caught 2 ♂, 1 ♀ Peromyscus leucopus, 4 ♂ Perognathus merriami, and 1 ♂ Rheithroclantraps sp. We expect to leave this camp today. We drove on through Reynosa and towards Monterrey. I set out 50 M Specials in a low hill near the road. The soil was covered in some places with dark gray rock and in others with reddish colored rocks. The plant growth was thorny brush. About dark I set out 50 live mouse traps. I found no wood rats nests. The weather is cool and clear. Before dark I shot 2 lizards (Callisaurus?) and a ♂ Verdin. The latter was on a nest, but there were

In the live traps I took 2 ṽ P. merriami and 1 Ṿ P. eremicus. We drove on from here to Monterrey and from there more or less south into the mountains about 10 miles at an elevation of 4000 ft. There is a small resort here called Chipinque. The road was built by Almanzan. The habitat here consists of large oak trees, a few pines and other species unknown to me. Underneath is a medium thick growth of low brush, weeds, and green grass. The ground is rocky and in a small canyon where I set traps there are boulders 30 ft. high, covered with small plants. We are camped near the small house of a native. The person in charge of the resort refused us permission to camp there. In the late afternoon I set out 58 M. Specials and 10 Schnyfer No 1's, although I saw no sign of any rats. Small traps were baited with oatmeal and birdseed, the large with dried peaches. Our camp is by a house with a pump for water-place known as Aguaje de Lobo. We called it 10 mi. S Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.

E.V. Miller 1940 General Account. April 15 In my traps I took 4♀, 3♂ Peromyscus boylii, one ? small Nestoma-like mammal. ? in a rat trap I caught a Bassariscus astutus by the tail.

S Valles, San Luis Potosi. I set out 50 M. Specials and 10 Schuyler no.1's for the night. April 19 Took one? Peromyscus boylii, and shot a wren at camp. The habitat here was Bullhorn Acacia, small Palms, and thick high brush. My traps were set along a small rocky gulch. Benson got many more mice by setting his traps up the hillside. We drove on toward Mexico City, stopping in the mountains a short distance off the main highway near Km. 232 on the side road to Maguey Verde, state of Hidalgo. April 20 Our location for this morning is 7100+ ft. Maguey Verde, 8.5 mi. NE Zamapan, Hidalgo. I took one? Peromyscus sp.. My traps were set in brush along the edge of an old cornfield (50 M. Specials and 10 Schuyler no.1's). Delgadillo took more mice along a fence lined with Maguey plants. The habitat is small pine of 2 or more species, not pine being one, oaks with a light underbrush of Baccharis sp., Maguey or Century Plant, and other brush. In the afternoon I shot 2 Thryomanes bewicki, are "Red-backed" Junco, a Seelopsomus sp., and an Empidonax sp.. Benson shot a thrush - Hylocichla? sp. and an Aphelocoma sp. in addition. Last night I shot 2 ? Cteacius fuscus (late).

Also 9 set, with S. Delgadillo, 7 gopher traps in the Templo de Quetzalcoatl. The gopher burrows were very numerous here and large - 3-4" in diameter, but because we set the traps at night we could not tell fresh wounds from old ones and I took but 1 immature female (Cratogeomys?), in the mouse traps I took 1? Peromyscus truei. In the afternoon we drove on to Mexico City to arrange for permits. April May 30 Left Mexico City yesterday and drove east to camp at 9600+ ft, 5 mi. E Amecameca, Mexico.

I caught a small Sceloporus ? sp. And last night I shot 2 bats, 1♂ Lasinius cinereus and 1♂ Epterusius fuscus. May 2 Yesterday afternoon we drove toward Mt. Popocatepetl, camping camping at the end of the road, about ½ mile N of the main base or slope of the mountain. Our elevation—11,000± ft. Yesterday afternoon I set 50 M. specials and 4 Schuyler No. 1’s. The habitat was large thick bunch-grass with a few small scattered pines. It rained about 1 inch after my traps were set, in the evening. This morning I took 6♂, 4♀ Peromyscus melanotis and 1♂, 1♀ Peromyscus melanophrys. I rebaited and reset my traps and left them out. Early in the afternoon it began to hail small stones and has continued until now—4:20 P.M. Popocatepetl had a fairly heavy covering of snow when we arrived. This (or the hail) has extended 1 or 2 thousand feet lower than it was yesterday. May 3 Set 47 live traps for mice last night in addition to the 50 left out from night previous. In the live traps took 2♂, 2♀ Peromyscus melanotis. In the others took 3♂, 1♀ Peromyscus melanotis, 1♀ Peromyscus melanophrys and 2♀ Rheithrodontymys megalotis. In the morning from 8³⁰ to 10³⁰ I

In the afternoon I set 2 double sets for gophers and caught one ? Thomomys umbinus. Later I set 36 M. specials for mice along the base of a low rock cliff. While doing this I collected (probably a wren's nest) a Pygmy Nutcrack and its? nest containing 4 well incubated eggs. The nest was in a crevice in a rock cliff, about 4 ft. above the ground. I also shot a small yellow warbler? While setting my traps hail fell for a few minutes so that I had to reset my traps. After dark it rained a little. The temperature drops below freezing at night. May 4 In my traps I took 4 ?, 1 ? Peromyscus melanophrys, 1 ?, 1 ? Rheithrodonmys megaloticus. I shot 14 lizards and saw one Romerolagus diazi. In the afternoon we drove back on the same road to a location; 10,800 ft. La Providencia, NW slope Popocatepetl, Mexico. We camped beside a small stream near some buildings which are the official headquarters of the park, although no one lives there at present. I set 50 M. specials along the stream and on the hillside. The habitat: fine dark soil, considerable bunch grass, brush, medium sized fir trees (Abies sp.). In the evening about 6 45 to 7 00 PM I shot 4 ? Oplurus fuscus. May 5 Took in my traps 3 Microtus mexicanus, 3 ?, 6 ? Peromyscus melanophrys, and 1 ?

E.V. Miller 1940 24. General Account Peromyscus melanotis, In the afternoon we drove on to the next camp at El Pedregal, 2.5 mi. W Tlalpan, D.F. Here I set out 85 m. specials and 47 live traps, all for mice. I took 9 ?, 8 ? Peromyscus boylii, 5 in the live traps. The habitat was fields of low grass and rocky lava beds with a medium thick growth of nopal cactus, small oak trees, grass, and other small herbaceous plants. From here we drove on through Toluca to a location, 10,000+ ft. 15 mi. SW Toluca, Mexico. In the late afternoon I set out 85 m. specials and 50 live traps. May 7 Took nothing in many live traps; in the others 7 ?, 5 ? Peromyscus maniculatus and 1 ? Rheithrodonmys megalotis. We saw no bats last night. The weather is cool and clear today. My traps were set under small pines, Baccharis sp? and along the creek. The mice were all taken very near the creek. The soil is sandy and light yellow-gray in color. The pines are small and scattered and the brush is not thick. In the afternoon we drove on up to the big crater of the Nevado de Toluca. There are two small lakes in the crater, which is above timber-line. The slopes are covered with rocks and bunch-grass. We drove back down the road to about 12,000+ ft., where we camped in a deserted "chalet."

E.V. Miller 1940 Crotogeomys merriami April 22 8000 ft. Templo de Quetzalcoatl, Piramides de San Juan Teotihuacan, Mexico. Set out 9 gopher traps late at night in the moonlight with Senor M. Delgadillo. Took one immature female. We had much difficulty in telling the fresh from old mounds at night and also our traps were too small for this species. Adults that S.B. Benson and M. Delgadillo took weighed up to 600 grams. The burrows were very numerous in this region and the gophers could be seen working in the daytime. The burrows were 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The soil was hard and dry at the surface and covered with scant growth of cactus. June 3 Limpia Canyon, 1

E. V. Miller 1940 Cynomys mexicanus May 28 San Juan Nepomuceno, 5 mi. N la Ventura, Coahuila A small prairie dog city, about 1 mi. wide and 3 miles or more long is located at this place. The country is a wide valley, mostly covered with brush, but here there is a grassy plain, dotted with the mounds of the 'dogs'. These mounds are scattered irregularly from 50 to 100 feet apart in most instances, and are from 1 to 2 feet in height, with the steeply slanting hole near the center of the mound. The mounds vary with the age of the occupants. Those of small dogs are 1 1/2 to 2 ft. wide, while those of older dogs are from 2 to 4 ft. wide. The ground, which is flat, light colored, and not hard, is sparsely covered with low grass and very small low weeds. The larger 'dogs' usually occur singly, but not always. The youngsters are often in twos, threes, or fours. As one approaches the 'city' dog' can be seen sitting upright from about 50 yds. on. When one approaches closer they drop to all four legs and jerk their short tails rapidly up and down. They then run into their burrows, but stick their heads up to observe your closer approach. They have two kinds of calls - a rough but sharp keek and a more drawn out yap. May 30 Saw 2 more prairie dog cities, at about 19 and 24 miles N la Ventura, Coahuila. They were both fairly small.

E.V. Miller 1940 Mephitis macroura May 12 El Roble, 8 mi. N & E Topotitlan de Morelos, Jalisco On the night of May 11 I was looking at traps after dark at about 10:00 P.M., when I saw a #7 M. macroura with his nose under the base of a nopal cactus. I ran back to camp, about 70 yds. distant, got a shotgun, ran back and shot the animal 3 times with #12 shot from 38 col. shells, from the secret close range. This did not dislodge nor kill the skunk so I poked him with a short stick. He ran across the rocks at this and I shot him. After each shot there was an ejection of scent, but bringing a light close to him did not seem to cause any reaction. The country here consisted of open fields, planted with maize in season, nopal cactus, rocks, and a few patches of oak trees and low brush.

E.V. Miller 1940 Microtus Mexicanus May 5 10,800± ft. La Providencia, NW slope Popocatepetl, Mexico. Took 3, 1♂, 1♀, (other?) of this species along a small creek.
