Murray 1945 69 Journal May 17 Trin, 1700 ft., Baja California Cenesa. This evening shot 2 Pipistrellus and 2 Eptesicus fuscus. Dr. Benson got a Lasiurus blossevsii. The Pipistrelles started flying while it was still bright light and stopped before dark. Several dove at me in the manner of those at Rancho Cadaje. Cloudy today and a little cooler. May 18 Same location Failed to mention that yesterday morning we arose to find that most of the bats had eaten their way out, leaving us holding the bag. Traps caught 3 Perognathus spinatus (1?, 2?). Lizards are very common here, seeming to be out mostly in the morning before the heat becomes great. Cnemidophorus hypemithus is common everywhere, and Cnemidophorus tessellatus and Callisaurus draconoides generally along fences. There are some Dipsozaurus dorsalis of which Dr. Benson shot one and gave it to me. I shot a Cnemidophorus tessellatus, which are exceedingly large here. Today saw a hooded oriole, gila woodpecker, and heard white-winged dove
