2. MOON 1987 Journal 63 14 may Bonanza king canyon, Providence mountains, san Bernadine co., cA. checked three pitfall traps near the mouth of the canyon; we found three Night lizards and some spiders (Species desert accounts: Night Lizard). Next, we hiked up to the fork in the canyon and checked four traps near the mouth of the south fork. No reptiles, but we did get a shrew that had fallen into the pitfall trap and died. This shrew is probably Notiosorex crawfordi, for which the only other records I know of come from the Granite Mountains in 1979 (Species account: Gray Shrew). We continued up the south fork of the canyon intending to collect some fossils from the upper canyon. About 1/4 mi. from the fork in the main canyon, and above a steep silty and rocky cliff, I saw a small striped whipsnake which (~1-1 1/4 m.) which escaped into a large, dense stand of Desert Almond. This area, and our pitfall traps just below, are at the approximate lower limit of Piñon pines in this canyon. (Species account: cont'd.
