Murray 1948 9 April Punta San Felipe, 50+ ft., Baja California strangely enough. There is a great differential in the tides here, when low exposing a strip of rocky shore which is quite rich in invertebrate life. Many fiddler crabs are under each rock, and almost all the old mollusc shells contain hermit crabs. There are the aforementioned octopi, numerous brittle stars and a myriad of other forms. Either Royal or Caspian terns fly commonly over the shore. I stirred up 6 long-billed curlews on the shore and they flew closelyunched out over the water very close to its surface. Now Tevie has come in with a Phrynosoma and a Urosaurus graciosus, neither of which we had seen here. This evening at dusk I shot a Jacharida Mexicana, one of several flying around. The wind has come up with a vengeance and we welcome this house more than ever. April 12 Same location We are breaking camp this morning with the intent if possible of going up to the Sierra San Felipe to the North-west. Went into the village and took on water.
