Murray 1948 83 Journal May 24 El Carrizalito, 1400 ft., 5 mi N Santiago, Baja Calif. halls and in one room upstairs. All seemed stupid and unresponsive and sometimes permitted a net to be pounded over them without moving. I caught 2 G19 and Ouest and Dr. Benson 4 each. In one small downstairs room there were several Macrotus californicus which shrewdly eluded capture through the door and two small windows. Lewis caught about 15 Pipistrellus hesperus and Myotis californicus with a net over one of the water tanks. We worked late putting up the Natalus. May 25 Same location Worked on bats most of the day, then set out 13 Schuyler traps for skunks and Bassariscus which are supposed to be plentiful here. Saw no sign however. There were a number of woodrat nests which I avoided for the most part. All the traps were among the large rocks on the hillside, mostly in a small draw. Saw hooded owles, plumbeous grnatchers, Mexican ground doves. This evening tried out a net at the bottom water tank. It is 10 feet across, almost flush with the ground on the upper side and about 1 1/2 ft. high on the lower side
