Murray 1948 70 Journal 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
