Murray 1948 50 Journal May 5 Bahía Concepción, 13 mi SE Mulege', Baja Calif. Again set out traps, this time live traps. Put them in almost the same area but following straight up both sides of a canyon (that crossed last night). The vegetation was the same. The interval between traps both times has been about 50 feet. Also set 6 Schuylers, 3 in small caverns beside the road which had been washed out of the rock. The others were among rock outcroppings on the cliff above up, 2 with woodrat droppings present. This is very comfortable weather with a maximum temperature today of 92°, and a nice breeze. It remained quite warm last night. May 6 Same location Live traps held 4♂4♀ Perognathus spinatus, Peromyscus eremicus 2♂2♀. This time the catch was very predominantly in the half of the line on the west slope and a bit deeper in the canyon. Again the interval was 50 ft. The Schuylers were empty. Spent most of the day putting up the mice. Set out 50 live traps in several different areas. 15 were in Salicornia at the base of the rocky cliff. There were numerous washed out caverns with some loose rock
