May 18 Juinjo, 1700 ft., Baja California
Set out 50 live traps around the fenced
in cornfield of the nearest rancho. Most
of it was bare but a wash ran along one
side with a somewhat rocky bank above
it, and here placed most of the traps. Some
were also along the brush fence at one end
under some large mesquites.
Bat shooting was slimmer tonight with
only a few flying. Shot 1♂ Dasyptherus
ega.
May 19 Same location
The traps held 4♂ Perognathus spinatus
and 1♂ Peromyscus eremicus
Today Dr. Benson went into La Paz to
have some work done on the Dodge and
pick up our money if it has arrived.
In the afternoon Lewis and I went into
Juinjo to get bate from the same building
as before. Found the supply much diminished
and those which were there quite skittish.
Caught 10♂, 6♀ Jadairida mexicana and 1♂, 2♀
Eptesicus fuscus, which were mixed in with
the others. I put them up as alcoholics.
On the way to and from town we
passed places where the mesquites were
tall and dense, and here saw many birds.
There were several Calif. jays, ash-throated
