Murray 1948 2 Neotoma lepida May 5 Bahia Concepcion, 30 ft., 13 mi SE Mulege, Baja Calif. Brushes. Each rat was toward the bottom of a draw where the rocks were quite large (2ft diam) and piled higher. One rat was killed, the other caught by the neck but very much alive. May 15 4 mi N La Paz, 30 ft., Baja California. Set 7 Schuyler traps, each beside the opening of a nest and with droppings nearby. These were on a rocky hillside which came within 150 yds. of the seashore. Most of the rocks were broken fragments, but a few parts had some boulders under which all the nests were found. Caught 1 # and found another trap snapped and dragged about 5 feet where the rat got away. May 16 Same location 5 traps, similarly set, caught nothing. May 20 Triunfo, 1700 ft., Baja Calif. Have seen several nests in the wash here, some built of dried sticks and some under large rocks along the edge. Growing in the sand is mostly yerba de la palma and ramajo ceniza, quite thick. Set 2 Schuyler traps, one in front of a stick house and the other by a rock nest. Each caught a rat. (see journal)
